A. Drip pan

Turn the Gas Supply On

1.For freestanding outdoor grills using a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank: Slowly open the tank valve.

NOTE: If flow limiting device activates, your grill may not light. If your grill does light, the flames will be low and will not heat properly. Turn tank valve and all control knobs off and wait 30 seconds. After shutting off the tank, very slowly open tank valve and wait 5 seconds before lighting.

2.For outdoor grills using gas supply source other than a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank:

Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

Lighting the Grill and Infrared Sear Burners

1.Do not lean over the grill.

2.Select the burner you want to light. Push in and turn the grill burner control knob to LITE/HI, while continuing to hold it in.

3.You will hear the “snapping” sound of the spark. When burner is lit, release the knob. Turn knob to desired setting.

4.Repeat for each of the other burners as needed.

IMPORTANT: If burner does not light immediately, turn the burner knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before relighting.

■Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners) 10 minutes. The hood must be closed during preheating. Do not use back rotisserie burner for preheating. Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices.

■Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce flare-ups.

Manually Lighting Main Grill and Infrared Sear Burners

1.Do not lean over the grill.

2.Remove the manual lighting extension (see following illustration) and attach a match to the split ring.

3.Strike the match to light it.

4.Guide the lit match between the grill grate and one of the slots in the sear plate.

5.Push in and turn the burner knob to LITE/HI for the burner closest to the lit match. The burner will light immediately. When burner is lit, turn knob to desired setting.

6.Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each main burner.

7.Remove match and replace manual lighting extension inside the cabinet door.

IMPORTANT:

If burner does not light immediately, turn the burner knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before relighting.

If any burners do not light after attempting to light them manually, contact the KitchenAid Customer eXperience Center. See the “Assistance or Service” section.

Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.

■Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes.

■Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is trimmed away prior to grilling.

■Leave the burner set to HI when placing food on the grill to sear.
