GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS
PREHEATING
Preheating the grill before grilling is important. To
preheat: Light your grill according to the instructions in
the Owner’s Guide; then turn all burners to start/high (
)
position, close the lid, and preheat until the temperature
reaches between 500° and 550°F (260° and 290°C), the
recommended broiling temperature. This will take 10 to 15
minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature
and wind. After preheating, you can adjust the individual
burners as desired.
 WARNING: Should the burners go out
while grill is in operation, turn all gas
valves off. Open the lid and wait ve
minutes before attempting to relight
grill, using the igniting instructions.
COVERED COOKING
All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform,
evenly circulated heat. With the lid closed, the gas grill
cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in
the lid indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill.
All preheating and grilling is done with the lid down. No
peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.
FLAVORIZER
®
SYSTEM
The closed lid and Flavorizer
®
bars produce that
“outdoor” avor in the food. When meat juices drip from
the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer
®
bars, they
create smoke that gives foods an irresistible barbecued
avor. Thanks to the unique design of the burners, the
Flavorizer
®
bars, and the exible temperature controls,
uncontrolled are-ups are virtually eliminated, because
YOU control the ames.
DRIPPINGS AND GREASE
Because of the special design of the Flavorizer
®
bars
and burners, excess fats are directed down the slide-out
grease tray and into the catch pan. Disposable drip pans
that t the catch pan are available.
