The barbecue is intended for outdoor use only in a well-ventilated area and is not to be installed in or on recreational vehicles or boats. It allows for both direct and indirect heat grilling methods, catering to various food types and cooking styles.

Usage Features:

GS4 Grilling System:
- INFINITY Ignition: Ensures reliable ignition every time.
- High Performance Burners: Tapered shape delivers consistent gas flow from front to back, providing even heat distribution.
- FLAVORIZER BARS: Angled bars designed to catch drippings, vaporize them for added flavor, and funnel unvaporized grease away from burners.
- Grease Management System: Reduces the risk of flare-ups by funneling grease into an easily removable drip tray.
Direct and Indirect Heat Grilling:
- Direct Heat: For small, tender foods (hamburgers, steaks, chops, fish fillets) cooked in 20 minutes or less, with fire directly below the food.
- Indirect Heat: For larger cuts of meat (roasts, whole poultry, ribs) or delicate foods requiring 20 minutes or more, with heat on both sides or one side of the barbecue, and food over the unlit part of the grate.
GENESIS II LX Specific Features:
- Side Tables with Integrated Tool Hooks: Provides workspace and storage for grilling tools. The left side table folds down for compact storage.
- HIGH+ Setting: All burners can be turned up to the highest setting for a quick preheat or searing.

- GOURMET BBQ SYSTEM Cooking Grate: Allows for the use of various GOURMET BBQ SYSTEM inserts (sold separately).
- TUCK-AWAY Warming Rack: Keeps food warm or toasts buns. Can be folded down as a tiered base for ELEVATIONS accessories.

- Grill Cabinet: Provides enclosed storage space for essential grilling tools.
Ignition: Electronic ignition for main burners and side burner. Instructions provided for lighting with a match if electronic ignition fails.
Preheating: Always preheat the barbecue on the highest setting for about ten minutes until the lid thermometer reads 260°C (500°F).
LPG Cylinder Installation: Detailed instructions for connecting the regulator to the cylinder and proper placement of the cylinder (hanger or ground).

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning the Inside of the Grill: Recommended at least twice a year, or quarterly with consistent use. Involves brushing carbonized grease from the lid and wiping with a paper towel while warm.

Cleaning the FLAVORIZER BARS: Scrape with a plastic scraper and brush with a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Gloves are recommended due to potential rough surfaces.

Cleaning the Heat Deflectors: Scrape with a plastic scraper and brush with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
Cleaning the Grease Management System: Regularly check and clean the slide-out grease tray and catch pan to prevent grease build-up and fires.
Cleaning the Outside of the Grill: Clean painted, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces with warm soapy water and a microfiber cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces with a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaning the Grill Light: Remove from bracket, slide out battery compartment, and replace three AAA batteries.
