Thank you for your Fuego Gas Grill purchase.
We are excited to present to you our new Fuego ALL 304 Stainless Steel Gas
Grill. We set out to design a grill that eliminated all of the bulky features
you see on most gas grills. We started with the shelves and recessed them
into the side panels which creates a more compact footprint and stylish
design when closed as wells as a fully functional shelf system when open.
Next we tackled the front panel. Due to our unique construction, we were
able to eliminate the bulbous front end and create a sleek flat front panel
design.
True to Fuego form, our performance specs remain prominent throughout.
Heating to 500F in just 5 minutes and up to 650F in 10 minutes, the grill
gets hot. This is eliminates several minutes of preheat time and makes for
amazing searing. Its wide range temperature control from 250F-700F allows
your true chef skills to shine in preparing a wide variety of dishes to impress
your guests.
Please follow the next pages in the user manual for setup, operation and
trouble shooting instructions. If you have any issues, please reach out to
our friendly support staff via phone 888.883.8346 or email
