Turning Off

1.Turn natural gas main valve “OFF”.

2.Turn all control knobs clockwise to the “OFF” position.

Note: A “poof” sound is normal as the last of the natural gas is burned.

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 natural gas main valve. 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 natural 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 natural gas main valve. 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 natural is burned.

Operating Sear Burner

First Use

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.

Lighting

NOTE: Infrared sear burner can be used while main burners are operating.

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

2.Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner / venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.

3.Control knob must be in the “OFF” position. (Figure 3)

4.Turn “ON” natural gas main valve.

5.Push and turn control knob slowly about 1/4 turn counter clockwise until a click is heard. The burner should light. If the burner does not light, repeat up to three times.

6.Hold the knob 3 to 5 seconds to allow gas to reach and light the burner.

7.Burner should turn red after 2 to 3 minutes.

8.Turn control knob “OFF” if burner is not lit. Wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure.

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.

Turning Off

1.Turn natural gas main valve “OFF”.

2.Turn all control knobs clockwise to the “OFF” position.

Cooking

Ideal for searing in juices and flavor in food, such as steaks, roasts, and chicken parts.

1.Open lid and ignite the burner per lighting instructions.

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 burner.

4.Adjust control to desired temperature.

5.Keep an eye on the food to make sure the food does not burn, as it will take a very short time to sear each side of the food. Turn as desired.

6.Turn grill OFF by first closing the valve on the natural gas main valve. 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 natural gas is burned.

Operating Side Burner
