COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
When lit for the first time, the gas grill will emit a slight odour. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the
MAIN BURNER USE: When searing foods, preheating is recommended by operating all main burners in the high position with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for a short period of time (fish, vegetables) may be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more even temperatures that will reduce cooking time and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, may be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the food placement). When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts, or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before pre- heating to reduce sticking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content, may create
REAR BURNER USE: Remove the warming rack prior to use. Cooking grids should also be removed if they interfere with the rotisserie. This gas grill is equipped with a 10,000 BTU rear burner. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjunction with the rotisserie kit. See the rotisserie kit assembly instructions. To use the counterbalance, remove the rotisserie motor from the gas grill. Place the spit with meat being cooked across the hangers inside the grill. The meat will naturally hang with the heavy side down. Tighten the counterbalance arm and weight, so that the arm is facing up. Slide the counterweight in or out to balance the load, and tighten in place.
SIDE BURNER USE: The side burner can be used like any range top burner, for gravies, soups etc. The gas grill should be located so that the side burner is protected from the wind, because the wind will adversely affect it's performance.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the burners are turned off prior to cleaning. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Clean grill in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns or patios. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any part of this gas grill. Do not use a self cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the gas grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill components unless cleaned regularly.
GRIDS AND WARMING RACK - The grids and warming rack are best cleaned during the
CLEANING INSIDE THE GAS GRILL - Ensure that your gas grill is properly cooled before cleaning. Remove cooking grids. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the insides of the lid. Scrape sear plates with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Remove sear plates and brush debris off of burners with a brass wire brush. Any clogged burner ports can be poked cleaned with a straightened paper clip. Inspect for spider webs or insects blocking the flow of gas through the burner. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable drip pan. Ensure that the sear plates are placed properly when they are reinstalled (Check assembly instructions for proper orientation).
DRIP PAN - Slide the drip pan out for easy cleaning. It should be cleaned frequently (every 4 to 5 uses) to avoid grease buildup. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard, do not allow it to collect and overflow out of the grease tray. Do not line the drip pan with aluminum foil or sand, as it can prevent the grease from flowing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean any stainless steel parts. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned while warm to the touch, with warm soapy water. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel cleaner or a
