Or place your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack mounted inside your grill bowl and light the 2 outer grill Burners. Either

Seasoning Cooking Grids

Before and a_er each cookout, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each Cooking Grid. Be sure to coat the entire surface includ- ing edges and any areas with chipped porcelain. Insert the Cooking Grids intoyour warm grill for2 to 3 minutes.

Flare-Ups

The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause fl are-ups. S ince flare-ups im part a favorably, disti nctive taste and color to food cooked over an open flame, they should be accepted up to a point. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can result in a ruined meal.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion which could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

High setting: Only use this setting for fast warm-up, searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue off the grill after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.

Direct Cooking

The direct cooking method can be used with the supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directty over the lit grill Burners. Direct Cooking requires the Grill Lid to be open. This method is ideal for many recipes including deep frying, searing and whenever you want
