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 Conditions” for
further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-fitting 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 efficiently. 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 airflow or trap excessive heat in the
control area and can melt control knobs and ignition
modules. Such damage is specifically excluded from
your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
ered 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 fire
or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely flammable. 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 INDEX: “Leak Test
Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the influence 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 five (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 orifices of a grill, disrupting the gas flow.
This very dangerous condition can cause a fire 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 orifices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning your Lynx Grill” for
further details.)
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare
ups. Internal fires or damage caused by them or by the
grill being left unattended while cooking are not cov-

GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS
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.
Air enters through the front of the grill.
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the frontto-back air flow. If, while grilling with all burners on high
and the hood closed, you notice that the temperature
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.
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 prevailing winds are not blowing into
the rear of the grill.
Please Note: Any damage caused from use in windy
conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires,
or control panel discoloration from heat buildup, is
excluded from warranty coverage.
Wind hitting the back of the grill can
disrupt proper exhaust.
Your Lynx grill features an exclusive, patent-pending Heat
Stabilizer that will deflect wind and, in most cases, prevent
this situation.

USING YOUR LYNX GRILL
Grilling requires high heat for searing and low, controlled
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
heat for slow cooking.
Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using
indirect heat.
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 first seared at the high setting and then grilled
at a lower setting ... sometimes with the lid closed …
achieving the best results in the middle of the food without
burning the outside.
ProSear™ 2 Burner
This advanced infrared burner
provides high-intensity infrared heat
for searing foods and sealing in
flavor.
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.)
• You have electric connected. (See INDEX: “Electric
Requirements” for further details.)
• A qualified plumber has performed a leak test on all the
fittings 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”
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove
the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifices
and valves for obstructions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill
and can disrupt air flow, causing damage to the grill and
personal injury.
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 two different burner types. The operation of
each type varies, so it is important to understand them.
Rotisserie Burner
This infrared burner spans the back of the
cooking surface and provides consistent
heat for slow rotisserie cooking.
Also, check all hoses and fittings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.
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 everything off and have a qualified
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. The main
burners must sit level and firmly on the burner mounting
support frame. (See INDEX: “Unpacking and Assembly”
for further details.)
• … wind is not blowing too strongly or blowing on the
back of grill.

LIGHTING YOUR 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 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 flow of gas if
the burner goes out. (See INDEX: “Windy Conditions” for
tips on how to prevent burner blow out)
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 flow of gas
to the rotisserie burner and you will have to re-light the
burner.

PRE-HEATING
BASIC GRILLING
TYPES OF COOKING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely
important. Pre-heating allows the grill to properly heat up,
providing more even and more consistent cooking results.
Pre-heat your grill by igniting all of the burners and setting
them to “HI”.
Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 5 to
10 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 PRE-HEAT CYCLE OR AT ANY TIME
WHILE THE GRILL IS IN USE.
PRE-HEATING FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES
MAY OVERHEAT THE GRILL, CAUSING DAMAGE
TO THE GRILL.
The main burners 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... Direct
Heat 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 flavor. Lynx ProSear™ 2 Burners
provide the heat necessary to sear foods and seal in flavor.
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”.
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.
ALL-SEAR CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
13
|
Never place food over the ProSear™ 2 burners before they
USING THE PROSEAR™ 2 BURNER
are 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 flare-ups. Take special care to minimize dropping
any liquids on the ProSear™ 2 burner while cleaning the
cooking grids.
HOW TO SEAR
Professional 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 flame through a
ceramic element filled with tiny holes.
These holes focus the flame on the 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.
Searing locks in flavor 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 finish … crisp, flavorful
outside with a tender, juicy inside. The ProSear™ 2 infrared
burner is specifically designed for this purpose.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Lynx grill cooking grids are heavy duty. Dropping
them on the ProSear™ 2 burners will damage
the burners. Such damage is not covered by the
product warranty and will cause a fire, burns or
other personal injury.
PROSEAR™ 2 CLEANING
It’s easy to keep your ProSear™ 2 burners
operating at peak performance. Just run them on
“HI” with the hood open for 5 minutes after each
use to burn away any food particles or drippings.
The ProSear™ 2 burner, with its advanced components,
requires particular attention to lighting, usage and cleaning
guidelines. Refer to the different sections of this manual
that address these issues.
Pre-Heating the ProSear™ 2 Burner
Always pre-heat the entire grill before cooking to achieve
consistent, successful results. (See INDEX: “Pre-Heating”
for further details.)
You should pre-heat the ProSear™ 2 burners for 5 to 10
minutes or until they glow red.
