ACCESSORIES

THE GRILL BRUSH (OPTIONAL)

Purchase a Fire Magic® stainless-steel grill brush (sold separately) to keep your grill cleaner. It comes with scraper for large particles and a replaceable head with brass bristles for

overall cleaning.

THE COOKING GRID LIFTER

Hold the grid lifter by gripping the center section with the prongs pointing down (use an oven mitt or heavy glove if the grill is hot). Insert the notched end of the grid lifter into the cooking grid, in front of the midway point (front to back; Fig. 26-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 26-4). Twist the grill lifter (clockwise or counterclockwise) so the handle is parallel to the grill rods. This “seats” the spiked end of the grid lifter between two rods, enabling you to safely lift out the grid. Lift slowly and adjust the grid lifter, if necessary, for balance.

THE DRIP PAN

The drip collection system allows you to brush or scrape excess dried residue from the grilling area directly into the drip pan (see PARTS LIST for drip pan location). To simplify cleanup when using the rotisserie, you may place a baking pan or foil under the rotisserie on top of the burners to collect the drippings. Clean the drip pan after each use.

THE FLAVOR GRID(S)

Place each fl avor grid directly over a burner or burner pair. Center each grid over the burner, oriented as shown in Fig. 26-65.

Note: This allows heat from the burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area. The

avor grids heat and cool quickly, making the grill very responsive to changes in heat from the burners.

THE WARMING RACK

The warming rack (Fig. 26-2) is packed separately.

To install the warming rack, lift the front of the rack up slightly and insert the rack hangers into the two holes in the back of the inner oven hood just above the backburner. Then lower the front of the rack into a level position to lock the rack in place.

To remove the warming rack, lift up on the front of the rack until the rack hangers pull free from their supporting holes.

Note: Removing the warming rack before using the rotisserie will leave more clearance for the meat being cooked.

FLAVOR FROM WOOD CHIPS OR CHARCOAL

You can add wood chips, wood chunks, or the natural wood charcoal of your choice to the fl avor drawer (Fig. 26-5) or the fl avor grid (Fig. 26-6). Heat wood chips in the fl avor drawer by lighting the smoker burner using the smoker control and zone 2 ignitor. When using the fl avor grid, we recommend placing wood outside the direct cooking zone or wrapping it in perforated aluminum foil. Soaking wood before use will slow burning and increase smoke fl avor. Wood and charcoal ash will remain in the fl avor grid and drawer after use. Either can be easily removed and cleaned when unit has fully cooled. The fl avor drawer is water-tight, allowing liquid fl avorings to be added as well.
