HELPFUL HINTS

Flare Ups

Any time you cook fatty foods over an open flame, you can expect flare ups. Flare ups are caused by the flash which occurs when the natural juices fall on the heat distribution plates. Controlled flare ups give foods their delicious outdoor flavor and appearance. Excessive flare ups may occur when your grill is not level or when cooking fatty foods such as spare ribs and chicken parts, especially if the cooking temperature is set too high. These flare ups should be controlled or your food will burn, although it will not burn nearly as much as you might think even in the direct flame.

mWARNING: Do not spray or pour any liquid into the cooking box to control flare ups. Doing so will void your warranty and may damage the grill.

To help control flare ups, we suggest using leaner cuts of meats and trimming excess fat from the meats to be grilled. Also, your grill should be level. If flare ups do occur, use the “LO” control setting and relocate the meat on the cooking grid until the flare ups have subsided.

1)To prevent food from sticking to the grid, preheat the cooking surface with the hood down for 10 minutes. Place the meat product on the grid and allow it to remain there for at least half of the suggested grilling time.

2)It is unnecessary to keep flipping meat products— allow them to sear and seal in their juices, then halfway through the cooking period flip the meat product onto its other side. When grilling chicken, always place the meat side on the grill first.

3)A light coating of oil applied to any of the meat products prior to grilling will also help. The use of a commercial spray cooking product is also helpful. This spray should only be used prior to lighting your grill but never during the cooking period. Use of spray cooking products can leave a black stain on areas of your cook grate. This is not harmful and does not affect cooking; however, if this becomes an appearance problem, the best way to remove the discoloration is by placing the cooking grate in a self-cleaning oven during the clean cycle.

Storing Natural Gas Grills

After you have finished cooking and have cleaned your grill, (see Maintenance section – for cleaning), turn your grill off at your appliance control knob. It is strongly recommended that the inline field installed cutoff valve also be turned off when the grill is not in use.

When the portable grill is to be stored indoors, the connection between the hose and the gas supply line must be broken. While the special fitting will stop the gas flow when the hose connection is removed, it is highly recommended you turn the gas supply off prior to disconnecting the hose assembly. To protect the gas fitting, it is necessary to insert the plastic plug (supplied with 10’ hose package) into the female quick connect. The male end of the hose must be protected by placing the plastic cap (supplied with 10' hose package) over the brass fitting on the end of the hose.

Gas Valve Orifice

mWARNING: Any alteration made to the orifice(s) such as drilling it out, will void your warranty and may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.
