WARNING

OPERATING THE GRILL:

Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:

In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surfaces of your grill.

Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should operate it for 15 minutes on "HIGH" to burn off these residual oils.

PREHEATING THE GRILL:

Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the main burner control knobs to the "HIGH" position for 10 to 15 minutes.

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you or your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. When grease fires occur close the lid and turn off the main burners until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.

WARNING

DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.

DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.

DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.

Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.

Only use ceramic briquets that are large enough so they do not fall through the briquet grate to the burner. This will prevent grease build-up.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:

Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.

Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.

Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the drain hole in the bottom.
