Infrared sear burner
(on some models)
On some models, the grill section has an infrared sear burner located on the right side. It consists of a stainless steel grill grate and an infrared burner with a protective screen.
The grate provides the searing surface.
The infrared burner sears meat for a crispy flavorful outside and a juicy inside.
NOTE: On models equipped with the Infrared Sear Burner, the temperature gauge will not respond when only that burner is turned on. For the 54" grill model, the temperature gauge will not respond if only the far left main burner is turned on.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the burner:
•Always make sure that the protective screen is properly in place on the infrared burner.
•Never place food over the infrared burner that is not lit and preheated.
•Never allow water to contact the infrared burner.

•On LP models, if lighting the infrared burner in extremely cold conditions there may
be a possibility of “burn back.” If you hear a “whooshing” sound, immediately turn the burner knob off. Wait several minutes before attempting to relight.

Lighting Using the Control Knob
WARNING:
•Always open the hood prior to lighting.
•Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.
Open the hood. Push the Infrared knob in and turn to the lighting position. You will hear a snapping sound, which is the igniter sparking. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.
If the burner does not light in
4 seconds, turn the knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again.
NOTE: When first lighting the Infrared Sear Burner after a period of
to be filled with gas.
Lighting Using a Match
WARNING:
Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.
A match stick extension rod is provided inside the grill drip tray. To match light the infrared burner, insert the UNLIT match stick securely into the clip end of the extension rod. Light the match stick and, holding the end of the rod, pass the flame of the lit match through the grill grate and directly above the ceramic perforated burner surface. Push and turn the control knob, which is centered on the burner you are trying to light, to the lighting position. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.
Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight a burner.
If the burner did not light in 4 seconds, turn all control knobs to OFF, leave the hood open to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate and wait 5 minutes before trying to light it again.
If the burner will not light after several attempts, see the Problem Solver in the back of this manual.
