IMpORTANT SAFETY pRECAUTIONS
PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL.
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Condi-
tions” for further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-tting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while grilling.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Always open the grill lid slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
7. The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the grill. Releasing fuel into a closed grill
before lighting will not make it light sooner or more efciently. It will only risk explosion and
personal injury or death. Never lean over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when attempting to light.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans. This will alter the airow or trap ex­cessive heat in the control area and can melt control knobs and ignition modules. Such dam-
age is specically excluded from your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause are ups. Internal res or damage caused by them or by the grill being left unattended while cooking are not covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure the drip pan is pushed all the way to
the back of the grill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a re or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely ammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dis­pose of it. The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See IN-
DEX: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs, open
the hood and wait ve (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable LP cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on the LP cylinder after each use.
19. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves and orices of a grill, disrupt-
ing the gas ow. This very dangerous condition can cause a re behind the control panel,
damaging the grill and risking personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time,
inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves and orices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning the Brass Burner”
for further details.)

IMPORTANT!
GRILLING IN WINdY CONdITIONS
Please Note: Any damage caused from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires, or control panel discolor- ation from heat buildup, is excluded from warranty coverage.
Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen ranges. That’s how they sear and grill steaks and other foods.
These high-performance
burners require a constant,
steady supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your Lynx grill pulls air in through the front and vents hot gases out through the rear.
Fig 2 - Air enters through the front
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the
front-to-back air ow. If, while
grilling with all burners on
high and the hood closed, you notice that the tempera- ture gauge fails to rise ... be careful. If wind has kept hot gases from exiting the rear of the grill the control panel and knobs may have become extremely hot.
Fig 3 - Wind hitting the back of the grill can disrupt proper exhaust.
Your Lynx grill features an exclusive, patent-pending
Heat Stabilizer that will deect
wind and, in most cases, prevent this situation.
But there are a few things you can do to further prevent the
possibility of improper heat buildup:
On breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood down for more than 15 minutes when the burners are on high. (Never leave the grill
unattended when in operation)
► If you suspect the grill is overheating, using an oven mitt, open the front hood. Then adjust the burner control knob to a lower setting.
► Install your grill with a wind break behind it.
► Orient the grill so prevail- ing winds are not blowing into the rear of the grill.

USING YOUR LYNx GRILL
pRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
Grilling requires high heat for
searing and low, controlled heat for slow cooking.
Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a “HI” heat setting with the lid open.
On the other hand, large, thick pieces of meat or
poultry are often rst seared
at the grilled at a
high
setting and then
lower setting
... sometimes with the lid closed … achieving the best results in the middle of the food without burning the outside.
Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using indirect heat.
Your Lynx grill features a variety of professional-level burners and tools for meeting the wide variety of cooking challenges. We will reveal how these features work for you. So please read and enjoy!
Depending on the model you chose, your Lynx grill may be equipped with up to three different
burner types. The operation of each type varies, so it is important to understand all three.
Main Brass Burner
This heavy-duty, durable brass burner is the standard main burner found under
the briquette trays.
ProSear™ 2 Burner
This advanced in­frared burner pro­vides high-intensity infrared heat for searing foods and
sealing in avor.
Rotisserie Burner
This infrared burner spans the back of the cooking area and provides consistent heat for slow rotisserie cooking.
BEFORE YOUR
FIRST
USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
 All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed from the burners. (See INDEX:
“Unpacking and Assembly” for further details.)
 You have fuel connected.
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”
for further details.)
10
 You have electric
connected.
Requirements” for further details.)
(See INDEX: “Electric
A qualied plumber has
performed a leak test on all
the ttings that supply fuel to
your grill.
IF YOUR GRILL DOES
NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SECONDS you may need
to purge the line. (See
INDEX: “Purging the Gas Line” for further details.)
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orices and valves for obstruc­tions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill and
can disrupt air ow, causing
damage to the grill and personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and
ttings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
BEFORE
EACH
USE
Before any use, always make sure that:
 ... you do not smell gas before you light the grill. If you do smell gas, shut every-
thing off and have a qualied
plumber check for leaks.
 … the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles, besides your food, that might ignite.
 … the control knobs turn freely.
 … if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it is securely connected and leak tested. (See INDEX: “Cylinder
Retention Instructions” for details.)
 … you know where the main gas supply shut-off is located
 … the burners are seated properly in the grill with mounting legs in the slots. The main burners must sit
level and rmly on the burner
support frames. (See INDEX:
“Unpacking and Assembly” for details.)
 … wind is not blowing too strongly or blowing on the back of grill.
WARNING
1. Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas.
2. Always keep the lid open (side-burner lids must be completely removed) when lighting your grill.
3. Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of explosion, property damage , personal injury or death.
4. Keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. Any time a burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds, turn off the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
5. YOU NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
ELECTRIC IGNITION
Before proceeding, make sure you have completed the “Before Each Use” checklist.
Follow these steps to light any of the burners on your grill:
First, make sure all burner control knobs are set to OFF.
FOR THE MAIN BRASS BURNER or ProSear™ 2 BURNER:
Push and hold the control knob in for 2 seconds, allowing the igniter to heat up. Then rotate the knob to “LITE”. After ignition, set the knob to the desired heat setting.
FOR THE ROTISSERIE BURNER:
The rotisserie burner features a thermocouple sensor with a safety valve that automatically
shuts off the ow of gas if the
burner goes out.
“Windy Conditions” for tips on how to prevent burner blow out)
(See INDEX:
To light the rotisserie burner, push and hold the control knob in for 2 seconds and then turn the knob to the “LITE” position.
After ignition CONTINUE HOLDING THE CONTROL KNOB IN for 30 to 60 seconds. During this time the thermocouple will heat up and the safety valve will remain open.
If you release the control knob before the thermocouple has heated up, the safety valve
will shut off the ow of gas to
the rotisserie burner and you will have to re-light the burner.

Using the lighting rod, place a lit match in front of the manual lighting tube for the burner you wish to light. (See photo)
Push and turn the correspond­ing burner control knob to “LITE”. If the burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds turn the knob off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light it again. Once lit, gas will stop
owing through the manual
lighting tube.
ProSear™ 2 BURNER
The ProSear™ 2 burner, does not feature a manual lighting tube.
To match-light this burner, use the lighting rod to insert a lit match through the cooking grate and through the protec­tive screen.
MANUAL LIGHTING
If a burner doesn’t light after several attempts, it can be match lit using the lighting rod stored in the drip tray.
Match-lighting your grill is done in one of three ways, depending upon which burners are being lit.
First, make sure you’ve returned all of the control knobs to the OFF position and have allowed 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate before attempting to match light a burner.
MANUAL LIGHTING TUBE
Your grill features individual manual lighting tubes for all main burners except for the right-most main burners.
RIGHT-MOST MAIN BURNER
The right-most main burner, does not feature a manual lighting tube.
To match-light this burner, use the lighting rod to insert a lit match through the cooking grate into the front slot of the
briquette tray for that burner.
Push and turn the correspond- ing burner control knob to “LITE”. If the burner doesn’t light within 5 seconds turn the knob off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light it again.

PRE-HEATING
BASIC GRILLING
TYPES OF COOKING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre-heating allows
the briquettes to properly
heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking results.
Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, including the ProSear™ 2 burner, and setting them to “HI”.
Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to cook your food.
WARNING!
► DO NOT LEAVE THE
GRILL UNATTENDED DURING THE PREHEAT CYCLE OR AT ANY TIME WHILE THE GRILL IS IN USE.
► PREHEATING FOR
MORE THAN 15 MIN­UTES MAY OVERHEAT THE GRILL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE GRILL.
The main brass burners and the ProSear™ 2 burner in your Lynx grill are capable of creating a range of heat intensities. By varying the heat output, the number of burners used and the position of the hood, you can create either direct or indirect heat or a combination of both and develop a wide variety of succulent recipes. There are two basic types of grilling in an outdoor grill... and
Indirect Heat
DIRECT HEAT
Direct heat cooking occurs when foods are placed directly over the heat source. This form of heat is known as “radiant” heat because the heat radiates directly from the source to the food.
Direct heat is a must when you want to sear the outside
of your food to seal in avor.
Lynx ProSear™ 2 Burners provide the heat necessary to
sear foods and seal in avor.
INDIRECT HEAT
Indirect heat cooking occurs when the food is not close to the heat source. Heat reaches the food via air movement within the cooking area. This form of heat is known as “con­vection” heat.
Indirect, or “convection” cooking is achieved by placing the food on one side of the grill and igniting burners on the other side. You leave the burner below the food “OFF”.
Direct Heat
You should keep the hood closed as much as possible during this type of cooking to maintain even heat around the food. You regulate the heat by adjusting the burner, using the hood thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Professional
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Lynx grill cooking grids are heavy duty. Dropping them on the ProSear™ 2 burner will damage the burner. Such damage is not covered by the product warranty and will
cause a re, burns or other
personal injury.
ProSear™ 2 CLEANING It’s easy to keep your
ProSear™ 2 burner operating at peak performance. Just run it on “HI” with the hood open for 5 minutes after each use to burn away any food particles or drippings.
Any ash accumulation on the burner screen can be removed with a light brush (like a paint brush) or vacuum … BUT WAIT UNTIL THE BURNER IS COOL!
USING THE pROSEAR™ 2 BURNER
restaurant chefs rely on a different type of heat ... infrared heat ... to
create a higher searing temperature than what standard burners can achieve. So Lynx provides the ProSear™ 2 infrared burner.
Infrared burners work by
focusing the gas ame
through a ceramic element
lled with tiny holes.
These holes focus the
ame
on the
If the grill is already hot from cooking you should still pre-heat the ProSear™ 2 burner for 2-3 minutes, or until it glows red.
Never place food over a ProSear™ 2 burner before it is fully pre-heated because food particles and grease dripping onto a cold ProSear™ 2 burner can clog the tiny ports and damage the burner.
For the same reason you should minimize water spills on the ProSear™ 2 burner and should not use water to
control are-ups. Take special
care to minimize dropping
any liquids on the ProSear™
2 burner while cleaning the cooking grids.
surface of the element, creating an intense heat much higher than that of a standard brass burner. It allows you to
sear your food more quickly
while leaving the inside rare, if desired.
The ProSear™ 2 burner, with its advanced components,
requires particular attention to
lighting, usage and cleaning guidelines. See INDEX:
“ProSear™ 2” for further details.
PREHEATING THE PROSEAR™ 2 BURNER
Always preheat the entire grill before cooking to achieve consistent, successful results.
(See INDEX: “Preheating” for further details.)
HOW TO SEAR
Searing locks in avor and
juices while allowing the food’s outer surface to absorb smoke and food-born aromas produced when drippings are vaporized by the burner.
The result is a restaurant-style
nish … crisp, avorful outside
with a tender, juicy inside. While the brass burners in
your grill are capable of producing searing heat, the ProSear™ 2 infrared burner is
specically designed for this
purpose.

Rotisserie cooking provides an
Rotisserie MOTOR MOUNT
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER
even delivery of heat to your foods. It has no equal. The constant rotation not only cooks
foods evenly, it also self bastes. As juices rise to the surface of the food, they
naturally ow around it as it
rotates. And, by moving the burner out from beneath the food, you avoid scorching
are-ups.
more tender and juicier when slow-roasted on a Lynx’s rotis­serie.
The Lynx rotisserie system consists of four main parts, the motor, the skewer, the forks and the infrared burner.
The Motor
Install the motor by sliding it into one of the slots shown here. Use the top slot for small foods or fast cooking and the lower slot for large foods and slower cooking.
Your foods will be more evenly cooked,
Plug the motor power cord into the motor and into the built-in power outlet on
the rear left panel. Your grill must be plugged into an AC power supply for the rotisserie to work.
Place a basting pan in the grill to prevent food accumulations
on the briquettes and burners.
But BE SURE YOU REMOVE IT before using any of the other burners.
The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more suscep­tible to strong wind conditions (more so than the main grill burners).
For this reason it features a safety valve that automatically closes any time the rotisserie burner is not properly lit … like if it were to extinguish in windy conditions. During windy conditions, it’s best to keep the lid closed and to pe­riodically check the burner.
The Skewer & Forks
The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 50 lbs. You should prepare any item and
rst mount it on the skewer.
Swing the warming rack up and out of the way. It will rest in place.
Then mount the skewer on the grill before lighting the rotis­serie infrared burner. Lighting
the burner rst could result
in burning your hands while trying to mount the skewer on the grill.
It’s okay to remove the grill
racks and even the briquette
trays to make room for large foods on the skewer.
To load the skewer, slide one of the forks onto the skewer. Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide the second fork onto the skewer. Center the food to be cooked on the skewer then
push the forks rmly together.
Tighten the thumb screws (use pliers if necessary). You should wrap any loose, dangling pieces of food (like wings) with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).
With the food secured to the skewer slowly roll the skewer in the palms of your hands to check for balance. It should
rotate smoothly. If you nd it
has a heavy side, adjust where the skewer pierces the meat. An unbalanced skewer will cause uneven rotation and uneven cooking. It’s normal
for the skewer to ex with
large foods.
