into outdoor enclosure.

3 • Now go to the "Checking and

Adjusting Burners Section."

Checkingand

adjustingthe

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.

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.Rtpropane

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.

Adjusting the air shutters:

1. Lightgrill using information in the

"Lighting the grill" section.

2. Observe flame to determine which burners need adjustment and how the

flame is acting, See "Sear burner flame characteristics" above.

3. Turn offthe valve and wait until grill

and burners are cool.

4. Remove grill grates, sear plates.

5. Remove burner and loosen air shutter adjustment screw.

a. If flame is yellow (not enough air),

turn air shutter counter-clockwise.

b. ff flame is noisy or lifts away from

burner (too much air), turn air shutter clockwise.

Adjustment should be from 1/8" to 1/4".

airshutter

adjustmentscrew

6. Tighten air shutter adjustment screw.

7. Replace burner sear plates and grates.

8. Ignite burner to check flames. See "Sear burner flame characteristics."

Repeat Steps 1 through 8 above if needed.

Only adjust the burners that need adjustment.

Low flame adjustment: If flame goes out on the "LO" setting, the low flame setting must be adjusted.

1. Turn offthe valve and wait until grill and burners are cool.

2. Remove grill grates, sear plates.

3. Light grill using information in the

GrillingTips

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

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, tart smoke taste.

Superb on salmon and other fish, chicken or game.

Maple: Sweet, hearty 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.

CookingMethods

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 short 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.

Indirect Cooking

Place food only on the grill grate over the

OFF burners.
