Light the infrared burner following the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS in this manual or printed on the drip tray. Follow these guidelines when operating the Infrared burner:

¥DO NOT place food on the cooking grid until the IR burner glows orange (Fig. 25-3). Drippings are heated and evaporate instead of sticking to and impairing burner function.

¥When not in use, always cover the infrared burner with the stainless-steel cover. This protects the burner from drippings (from other cooking), airborne particles, and foreign objects (Fig. 25-2).

¥Do not strike or scratch the burner ceramic as it may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 25-2).

Note: Digital thermometer does not give accurate readings for infrared burners.

Important: When grilling with the infrared burner, always place a cooking grid above it. The cooking grid must be removed for rotisserie cooking.

CAUTION: Never attempt to operate the IR burner with the protective cover in place.

WARNING

Only handle the infrared burner cover when the grill is cold or with a well-insulated long-handled tool or heat resistant gloves.
