The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause
flare-ups which impart a favorably, distinctive taste and
color to food. They should be accepted up to a point. To
minimize flare-ups:
Use a drip pan under foods that produce a lot of grease
Trim excess fat from meats and poultry
Preheat the grill properly
Clean grill regularly to remove food and grease build-up
Reposition your food often to avoid flare-ups
Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods from
sticking during the cookout and reduces the amount of
cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of
cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each cooking
surface before each cookout. We do not suggest spray
type oils unless they are specified for high-temperature
cooking. Be sure to coat the entire cooking surface.

,
bottom of grill bowl or Grease Draining Tray with
charcoal, aluminum foil, sand or any substance that
can absorb grease.
Before each use of your grill: Pull out the Grease
Tray and remove all grease and food debris to
prevent grease fire hazard.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall
or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet away
from combustible objects that can melt or catch
fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences and
overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot
lights on water heaters and live electrical appli-
ances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame
retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill. Never
lean over cooking areas while using grill. Do not
touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill housing or other
parts while grill is in operation, or until the grill has
cooled down after use.

WARNING
! !
The indirect cooking method can also be used with the
supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly, the food
should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with
the main Burner lit on the opposite side. Or place your
food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and light the outer
main Burners. Either way, indirect cooking must be
done with the Lid down.
Flare-Ups
Prepare Cooking Surfaces for Grilling
The suggested heat settings and cooking times in the
following pages are approximate. Because variables
including outside temperatures, direction of wind and
grill location will affect your grill's heat distribution we
recommend your monitor your grill closely and rotate
foods as needed to prevent overcooking and ensure
the most delicious results every time.
The Griddle offers high and low heat and is ideal for pre-
paring breakfast,fajitas,grilled vegetables and sand-
wiches.
To preheat main burners, light your grill on HI/IGN,
lower the Lid and follow this timetable. To preheat
the infrared burner the Lid must be open.
For high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5
minutes.
For low temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes.
To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.
Cooking Temperatures
Indirect Cooking using Main Burners
High setting: The HI/IGN Control Knob setting should
only be used to pre-heat your grill the first 3-5 minutes
and for burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes
after cooking is complete. Never use the HI/IGN setting
for extended cooking.
An Important Note About Cooking Temperatures
The infrared cooking area is for quick searing. Once
seared, reduce heat and continue cooking or move
food to the primary cooking area to finish cooking.
The middle and back primary cooking areas offer hi-
gh heat for grilling.
The Secondary Cooking Rack offers medium heat for
preparing breads and firm vegetables.
The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is
ideal for preparing delicate foods and for keeping cooked
foods warm.
Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify med-
ium to low settings, including all smoking, rotisserie
cooking and cooking lean cuts such as fish.
Direct Cooking using Main Burners or Infrared Burner
The direct cooking method can be used with the sup-
plied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over the lit
grill Burners. Direct Cooking requires the Grill Lid to be
open. This method is ideal for searing and grilling when
you want an open-flame barbecued taste.
Ÿ
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you should
"burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or foreign matter.
Ignite the main burners, lower the Lid, and operate grill on
HI/IGN setting for 3 to 5 minutes. The Lid must be open if
the infrared burner is lit.
CAUTION: Operating your grill on the HI/IGN setting for
longer than five minutes may damage certain parts of your
grill. Do not leave your grill unattended when in use.
