Using the Grill
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at a “HI” heat setting for
their entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to
turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This method cooks the food thoroughly without
burning the outside.
Food cooked for a long time or basted with a sugar-based marinade may need a lower heat setting near
the end of its cooking time.
To begin:
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly placed.
2. Remove any remaining packing materials.
3. Light the grill burners using the Lighting Instructions on page 16.
4. Turn the control knob(s) to the “IGNITE / HI” setting, and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid
should be closed during the pre-heat period.
5. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired degree of preparation. If necessary, adjust the heat
setting. The control knob may be positioned at any setting between “HI” and “LO”.
Using the Rotisserie Burner
Your grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie cooking. Light the rear burner as described in the
Lighting Instructions on page 16. Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in about 1
minute.
Rotisserie kits are sold as accessory items. Please follow the rotisserie kit directions for proper use.
The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Using the Infrared Searing Side Burner
The infrared searing side burner produces intense heat to “sear” the outside of the food thus locking the
flavorful juices inside. To properly use, cook each side of the meat for 1-5 minutes depending on food
type. Once the outside of the meat has been seared, move to the main cooking area to finish cooking the
inside to the desired doneness.
To light the searing side burner, refer to the Lighting Instructions on page 16.
Lighting Instructions
Before Lighting
Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning on the gas. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it
must be replaced prior to use.
Leak check the hose and regulator connections before operating the grill (See the “Leak Testing”
instructions on page 14).
Only the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit should be used. Never substitute
regulators. If a replacement is necessary, contact customer service for proper replacement.
WARNING
Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. Contact customer service at 1-877-323-5263.
