Checking and adjusting the burners

The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient operation. However, variations in gas supply and other conditions may make minor adjustments to air shutter or low flame setting necessary. Adjustments must be done by a qualified service technician.
valve stem
NOTE: No adjustment can be made to the infrared rotisserie burner (not used on all models) or smoker tray burner(s).
Checking and adjusting the grill burner flames requires removing the grate and sear plates.
Sear burner flame characteristics:
The flames of the grill burners and surface burners (not used on all models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (L.P./propane gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HI setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect nests, etc. and clean as necessary.If they are clean, adjust air shutters as needed.
IMPORTANT:
Before adjusting air
shutters, let burners cool down.

Grilling Tips

Before Grilling
• Thaw food items before grilling.
• Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners) 7-10 minutes. The hood must be closed during preheating. Do not use back infrared burner for preheating. Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices.
• Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs.This will help reduce flare-ups.
• Lightly oil the grill or the food when cooking low-fat cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.
• Too much oil can cause gray ash to deposit on food.
• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking to prevent flare-ups.
• Make vertical cuts at 2" intervals around the fat edge of meat to help prevent the meat from curling while cooking.
• Add seasoning or salt only after the cooking is finished.
During Grilling
• Turn foods only once. Juices are lost when meat is turned several times.
• Turn meat just when juices begin to appear on the surface.
• Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to test doneness.This allows juices to escape.
• It may be necessary to lower the heat setting for foods that cook a long time or are marinated or basted in a sugary sauce.
• If using a high flame, add barbecue sauce only during the last 10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.
• The degree of doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut of meat (i.e. size, shape and thickness), heat setting selected, and length of time on the grill.
• With the grill cover open the cooking time will be longer.
Smoker Box
The smoker box is a tray that holds wood chips or pellets that provide a smoky flavor when foods are cooked on the grill or rotisserie. For best results the hood should be down for most of the cooking time.
• The amount and size of chips and length of cooking time determine the degree of smoke flavor.
• When using wood chips or wood pellets always follow the package directions. For increased smoking, soak chips in water prior to placing in the smoker box.
Guide to Wood Chips or Pellets:
Alder: A medium, tar t smoke taste. Superb on salmon and other fish, chicken or game.
Maple: Sweet, hear ty smoke flavor. Best with fish, jerky or bacon.
Apple: A light, sweet flavor. Superb with poultry, ham or sausage.
Hickory: Heavy smoke flavor. Best with beef, pork or game.
Mesquite: A light smoke flavor. Best with fish, poultry or beef.
Oak: Heavy smoke flavor. Best with beef, lamb or pork.
Pecan: A rich, sweet, versatile flavor. Can be used with anything.
Grapevine: A strong smoke flavor. Best with beef or poultry.

Cooking Methods

Direct Heat
Cooking by Direct Heat means the food is placed on grill grates directly above lighted burners. Hood position affects total cooking time.
Direct Heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural juices in food by cooking with intense heat for a shor t period of time.While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a flavorful grilled coating.
Indirect Heat
For best results, do not select the Indirect Heat cooking method when it is windy.
Cooking by Indirect Heat means the food is placed on the grill grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted burner(s) on either side to cook the food.
If possible, turn on two burners. Cook with the hood down.This will shorten the cooking time.
1. Lift up at bottom of batter y tray and slide battery tray out.
2. Remove battery (or batteries) and replace with alkaline 9-volt battery (or batteries).
3. Slide batter y tray back into compartment.
Your model may have one or two ignitor batteries. If ignitors stop sparking, the battery (or batteries) should be replaced.
Replacing the ignitor battery
