1.Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.

2.Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odors.

Direct Cooking

Cooking directly over hot burners. Ideal for searing in juices and food requiring less than 25 minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables and fruit.

1.Open lid and ignite the desired amount of burners per lighting instructions in owner’s manual.

2.Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.

3.Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the lit burners.

4.Adjust controls to desired temperature.

5.With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.

6.Turn grill OFF by first closing the valve on the propane tank. Burn off remaining gas in lines by waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the OFF position. A “poof” sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.

Indirect Cooking

Not cooking directly over hot burners. Ideal for slow cooking and foods requiring more than 25 minutes such as most roasts, loins, chops, whole chickens, turkey, fish and baked goods.

1.Open lid and ignite the desired amount of burners per lighting instructions in owner’s manual.

2.Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.

3.Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the un-lit burners.

4.Adjust controls to desired temperature.

5.With lid closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.

6.Turn grill OFF by first closing the valve on the propane tank. Burn off remaining gas in lines by waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the OFF position. A “poof” sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.

Lighting

1.Open lid. Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion!

4.Turn on gas at LP gas tank.

5.Push and turn control knob counterclockwise to HIGH.

6.Press the electronic igniter button and hold for 5 seconds to light burner.

7.If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner control knob OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat lighting procedure.

8.If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod provided to light burners manually. Position the lit match near side of the burner.

Important: Always use the lighting rod provided when lighting burners with a match.

9.After lighting, please observe the burner flame, make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height matches illustration.

CAUTION: If burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF” and open lid to let the gas clear for about 5 minutes before re-lighting.

2.

Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads or

 

cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.

3.

Use the side burner of this appliance like a normal kitchen range for boiling, sautéing or frying.

4.

To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.

5. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on

 

very high temperatures.

Cooking

1.Light burner.

2.Set burner to desired temperature

3.Place pan on center of grid.

4.Cook and adjust temperature as needed.

Cleaning and Care

6. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or

place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).

7. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn

foods over just once during cooking.

8. When direct cooking adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to

different internal temperatures in the same time frame.

9. When in-direct cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack inside

a heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the un-lit burners.

10. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting grill remove

cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with

water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over the

loaded pan.

11. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow

the wood manufacturer’s instructions.

12. Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your

experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.

13. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid

material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.

14. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of

cooking oil, empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and

protect surfaces with a quality cover that is properly fits your grill.
