When you first ignite your grill burn the grill to get rid of any odors or debris that may be left over from
manufacturingandtransit.Thisisdonebyoperatingyourgrillatthe“HIGH”settingwiththe hood closed for
nomorethan5minutes.
• Sincethisisahightemperaturegrill;closingthehoodwillcauseheattobuildupandcouldeasilycause
anexcessiveflare‐upthatcouldcauseinternaldamagetothegrill(knobs,igniter,etc.).
• Afteryouhave“burnedoff”thegrill,youarereadyforcooking!
PreparingFoodfortheGrill

- Alwayscookfoodsadequately.Undercookedfoodscanretainbacteria,especiallyifthawedorexposedto
warmconditionspriortocooking.
- Alwaysuseseparateplatesandutensilsforthehandlingofrawfood.Neverplacerawfoodandcooked
foodonthesameplate,andneverplacecookedfoodonaplatethatwasusedforhandlingrawfood.
- Alwayscarefullywashallplatesandutensilsusedtohandlerawfoodbeforeusingthemtohandlecooked
food.
- Alwayswashallvegetables,seafoodandpoultrybeforecooking.
- Alwaysleaveuncookedfoodsintherefrigeratoruntilyouarereadytostartcooking.
- Alwaysmarinatemeatintherefrigerator.Disposeoftheexcessmarinade,andneverreuseit.

GrillingTips:
- Ifyoupre‐cookmeatorpoultry,dosoimmediatelybeforegrilling.
- Refrigerateleftoverswithin2hoursoftakingfoodoffthegrill.
- Neverletthetrayboildry.Thatcouldbehazardous,asgreasefromfattyfoodsthathave
collectedinthetraycouldigniteandpossiblycausebodilyinjuryorpropertydamage.
- Usea meatthermometertobesurefoodhasreachedasafeinternaltemperature.
- Alwaystrimexcessfatfromyourfoodstoreducetheoccurrenceofflare‐upsduringcooking.
- Applyalightcoatingofcookingoiltothecookinggridsbeforegrilling,topreventfoodsfromsticking.
- Cooksimilarportionsizestogether,sothattheyallcookevenly.
- Usetongstoturnfoodsonthegrill.
- NeverpiercefoodswhiletheyarecookingontheGrill,asthiswilldrythemout.
- Turnfoodsinfrequently.Somechefssaythatagoodsteakshouldneverbeturnedmorethanonce.
- Applysugar‐basedsaucessuchascommercialbarbecuesaucesonlyduringthelatterstagesofcooking,to
preventcharring.
- Soakthestringyouusetotieuproastsandpoultryontherotisseriespittoprotectitfromburning.
- Useadisposablealuminumtrayfilledwithwater,fruitjuice,wineoramarinadetoaddextraflavorand
moisturetoslow‐cookedfoodslikeroasts,wholechickens,turkeysorducks.
ControllingFlare‐ups
Flare‐ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill.
Excessiveflare‐upsresultingfromthebuild‐upofgreaseinthebottomofthegrillcanover‐cookthefoodand
cause a dangerous situation for you and yourgrill. Ifthis should occur, DONOT pour water onto theflames,
whichcan cause the grease tosplatterandcouldresult in serious burnsorbodilyharm. If greasefireoccurs,
closethehoodandturnoffthemainburnersuntilthegreaseburnsout.Use
cautionwhenopeningthehood
assuddenflare‐upsmayoccur.
ToMinimizeFlare‐ups:
- Trimexcessfatfrommeatspriortocooking.
- Cookmeatswithhighfatcontents(chickenorpork)onLowsettingsorindirectly.
- Ensurethatyourgrillisonlevelgroundandthegreaseisallowedtoevacuatethegrillthroughthedrain 
hole.
