Ducane 31-3200 Preheating Grill, Close Lid for Grilling, Post-heating Grill, Main Burner Ignition

NORMAL OPERATION

Preheating Grill

It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After lighting turn all burners on “HI”. Close the lid and preheat the grill between 500° and 550° F (260° and 290° C) for 10 minutes. This preheating will ensure that the cooking grid is hot enough for proper grilling.

WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires can be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and bodily harm.

Close Lid for Grilling

We recommend always cooking with your lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or colder climate. Your Ducane® gas grill has been designed and constructed to give you maximum flexibility and cooking performance. Be creative, try different cooking methods on your grill to determine what suits your needs best…there is no “right” or “wrong” way to cook…just different individual styles.

WARNING: Please remember that this is an outdoor gas cooking appliance. Many areas of the grill generate extreme heat. We have taken every precaution to protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all high-temperature areas. Therefore, use good judgment and a certain degree of caution when grilling on this product. We suggest a covered, protected hand during operation of grill. Do not move your grill when it is in operation or hot to the touch. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly cooled down before moving from place to place. Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury.

Post-heating Grill

In order to assist cleaning your cook grid and to completely vaporize remaining juices, post-heat grill for 10 minutes with the burners on “HI” and the lid closed.

CAUTION: Do not cover the cook grate during the post- heating period.

After the post-heating of your grill is completed turn the control knobs to the “OFF” position.

Propane Tank Shut-Off

After the burner box cools down, the propane tank valve should also be closed. If you do not want to wait for the burner box to cool down, use a covered hand to turn off the propane tank valve.
