To Use:
Press the LIGHTS button on the control panel to turn the hood lights on and off.
Using Your Searing Side Burner
Infrared grilling produces intense heat that quickly sears the meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes. Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is
trimmed away prior to grilling. Leave the burner set to On when placing food on the grill to
sear. Use the sear burner to sear meat 1 to 2 minutes on each side,
then move the meat to the main grill cooking surface to finish grilling to the desired doneness.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the sear side burner lid be open when the burner is in use to eliminate the possibility of increased lid and handle temperatures.
To close the searing side burner lid, first lift up the lid to release the lock then lower it to the closed position.
Manually Lighting the Searing Side Burner

Rotisserie Cooking Tips
WARNING
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.
Rotisserie cooking rotates food in front of the rotisserie burner, creating an intense heat for searing the outside and sealing in natural juices.
The rotisserie burner reaches cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. It is not necessary to preheat when using the rotisserie.
Select tender meat and poultry. Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) space between rotisserie burner
and the food. To make cleanup easier, place a pan under the food to catch
drippings. Add barbecue sauce or glaze only during the last 10 minutes
of cooking to keep sauce from burning.
4. Strike the match to light it.
5. Gently hold the lit match close to the rotisserie burner.

Trussing Poultry for the Rotisserie
1. Load the spit rod by sliding one of the forks on the rod, with
the prongs facing inward. Tighten the screw to keep it from slipping.
2. Push the rod through the center of the bird.
3. Cut 24" (61.0 cm) of butcher’s string and center it under the
bird, breast side up.
4. Wrap each end of the string around the wings; catch each
wing tip. Bring the string tightly together at the top of the breast and knot. It is not necessary to cut off the extra string.
5. Cut another 20" (50.8 cm) of string and lay it under the back
of the bird. Wrap it around the tail then around the spit rod, cinching tightly.
6. Cross the legs on top of spit rod; tie string around the
crossed legs.
7. Connect the twine holding the legs, to the string holding the
wings, and knot. Cut off any bits of hanging string.
8. Slide on the second fork, pushing the tines into the
drumsticks.
9. Center the food and forks on the rod and tighten the thumb-
screws. The bird should be firmly in place on the rotisserie spit rod.

Before Grilling
Thaw food items before grilling.
Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners) 10 minutes. The
hood must be closed during preheating. There is no need to use the back rotisserie 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 grates or the food when cooking low-fat
cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.
Using too much oil can cause gray ash to deposit on food.
Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking to reduce
flare-ups.
Make vertical cuts at 2" (5 cm) intervals around the fat edge
of meat to avoid curling.
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
