Indirect Cooking

Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill by indirect heat. The heat from selected burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.

•Store in dry location.

•Cover grill if stored outdoors.

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Usea thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

Sear and GriIV M Burner Feature

This grill includes a high output BTU burner on the far right side of the grill (far right control knob). This burner gets hotter than the other burners when the knob is in the Searing position. This is excellent for searing steaks, chops and other foods.

To operate this feature, follow the normal lighting instructions. Then turn the far right control knob to the Searing position. Allow burner to heat up for 5 minutes. Sear your food for 2 minutes on each side, then grill on low to desired doneness.

When not using the Searing feature, adjust the knob to the same temperature as the other burners.

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

•Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meatthermometer to be sure food has reached

a safe internaltemperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.

•Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

•Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F,and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145° F.All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.

•NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

•When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F,or until steaming hot.
