iMportAnt sAfety preCAutions
Please rev ew these m Portant safety PreCaut ons before you use your gr ll
1)never leave the gr ll unattended wh le CooKI ng
) ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the burners.
) Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy area. (s e ndeX: “grilling in windy Conditions” for further details.)
) Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite.
5)n ever 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. t will only risk explosion and personal injury or death. n ever lean over hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when at tempting 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 exces sive heat in the control area and can melt knobs and ignition modules. such damage is specifically excluded from your warranty.
10)n ever use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11)Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare ups. nternal fires 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.
1 ) n ever 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.
1 ) 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.
1 ) do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See I nd EX: 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.
7
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, damag- ing 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. (s e ndeX: “Cleaning the b ass burner” for further
details.)

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.
Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-to-back air flow. f, while grilling with all burners on high and the hood closed,
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.
Your Lynx grill features an exclusive, patent-pending
heat stabilizer that will deflect 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:
, be careful not to leave the front hood down for more than 15 minutes when the burners are on high. (n ever 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 discolor ation from heat buildup,
is excluded from warranty

grilling requires high heat for searing and low, con
trolled heat for slow cooking.
Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a “ h ” 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.
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.

The main brass burners and the Prosear™ 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... direct heat and Indirect heat
d reCt heat
d irect 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.
d irect heat is a must when you want to sear the outside of your food to seal in flavor.
Lynx main brass burners provide the heat necessary to sear foods and seal in flavor.
nd reCt heat
Indirect heat cooking occurs when the food is not close to the heat sour e. h eat reaches the food via air movement within the cooking area. This form of heat is known as “convection” heat.
ndirect, 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”.
od 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.

Prosear™ burner before it is fully pre-heated because food particles and grease dripping onto a cold Pr sear™ burner can clog the tiny ports and damage the burner.
for the same reason you should minimize water spills on the Pr sear™ burner and should not use water to control flare-ups. Take special care to minimize dropping any liquids on the Pr sear™ burner while cleaning the cooking grids.
how To seAr
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.
While the brass burners in your grill are capable of producing searing heat, the

Lynx grill cooking grids are heavy duty. Dropping them on the ProSear™ burner will damage the burner. Such damage is not covered by the product warranty and will cause a fire, burns or other personal injury.
ProSear™ CLEANING
It’s easy to keep your ProSear™ 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 surface can be removed with a light brush (like a paint brush) or vacuum

Then mount the skewer on the grill before lighting the rotis serie infrared burner. Lighting the burner first 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 firmly together.

CAUTION:
Handle the smoker box with care. The cover becomes extremely hot when in use. Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or dry pot holders.
