Burn-Off

Some of the new parts of your grill could have residual oils, We recommend you ignite the burners, turn to "Hi", and lower the lid for 3 to 5 minutes to burn any oils off before grilling for the first time. CAUTION: Operating your grill on the "Hi" setting for longer than five minutes may damage certain parts of your grill.

Preheating

To preheat, light your grill on "Hi", lower the lid, and follow this timetable: for high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5 minutes; for low temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes. Preheating is not necessary to slow cook.

Cooking Temperature

High Setting: The "Hi" control knob setting should only be used to sear some meats, pre-heat your grill the first 3-Sminutes and for burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes after cooking is complete, Never use the "Hi" setting for extended cooking.

Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify medium to low settings, including all smoking and rotisserie cooking, lean cuts of meat, chicken, and fish.

An Important Note About Cooking Temperature

The outside grilling area is not the controlled environment that your indoor kitchen is. Many variables can impact the cooking performance of

your grill, including outside air temperature, wind, humidity, and altitude, Allow more cooking time for cold, wind, and higher altitudes. We recommend you place the grill in an area protected from wind. Monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as needed to prevent overcooking and ensure the most

delicious results every time. Experimenting makes grilling more fun and interesting!

The middle and back primary cooking areas offer the highest heat for searing and grilling.

The warming rack offers medium heat for preparing breads and firm vegetables like potatoes and corn and keeping food warm.

The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is ideal for preparing delicate foods and also for keeping cooked foods warm.

Direct Cooking

The direct cooking method is used when food is placed directly over the lit grill burners, This method is ideal for searing, grilling, deep frying and whenever you want foods to have an open-flamebarbecued taste. The lid can be open or closed depending on your preference,

Indirect Cooking

The indirect cooking method is used for most foods.

Do not place the food directly over a burner to use

this method, Instead, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit on the opposite side or in the center with the center burners off, Indirect cooking must be done with the lid down,

Prepare Cooking Grates for Grilling

Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods from sticking and reduce the amount of cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each cooking grate, We do not suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire cooking surface including edges and any areas with chipped porcelain.

Flare-Ups

The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause flare-ups. Flare-ups work to color and flavor your foods, so some flare-upsare preferred. Too many can work against you though. Reduce flare-ups by trimming away excess fat, using the indirect method of grilling, and grilling using lower temperatures.

Using the Back Burner (If Equipped)

The back burner is used when cooking with a rotisserie, which is sold separately, Please follow the points below when using the back burner.

1.Always remove the warming rack.

2.Do not use the main burners when the back burner is in use.

3.Use an aluminum foil pan to catch the juices that drip down from the food.

Allowing grease to gather in the bottom of the firebox could create a grease fire the next time the main burners are used,

Never line the bottom of the firebox with aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will restrict the flow of grease into the grease tray or cup.

Before each use, pull out the grease tray and remove all grease and food debris to prevent a grease fire hazard.

Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill. Never lean over cooking areas while using grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, lid, grill housing or other parts while grill is in operation, or until the grill has cooled down after use.
