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

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
