MANUAL LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNER

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:

·Open Side Burner Lid before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from gas build-up.

·When manually lighting side burner, use matchlight holder to avoid burns.

1.Open the side burner lid.

2.Important: Make sure Side Burner Control Knob is turned “Off” first.

3.Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counterclockwise until it stops. (FIG. 18A)

4.Push side burner control knob in and turn counter clockwise to the High position. (FIG. 19)

If the burner fails to light after three or four attempts following Steps 3-6, turn the side burner control knob to the “Off” position and close the LP gas cylinder valve to dissipate any accumulated gas. Wait five minutes; then repeat the lighting procedures. NOTE: If the burners still fail to light, refer to Troubleshooting Section.

Cooking on Griddle Plates allow cooking of smaller items that otherwise, would fall through the grill. The burners heat the Griddle Plate directly, which cooks the food on contact. The Plates sear cuts of meat or cook food like eggs that can not be cooked on a grill. They can also be used to heat pans.

CAUTION

·Do not preheat griddle plates over 5 minutes. The cooking surface coatings could be destroyed.

·Use only long-handled heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.

WARMING RACK

Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. When opening the hood, be alert of dripping fat from the warming rack which could then drip onto the barbecue causing a mess. Always check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use. Do not cook food on the warming rack. See Roasting below.

ROASTING HOOD COOKING

To avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside:

· Open the hood carefully when grill roasting.

Closing the Hood forms an ‘oven’ and traps a large amount of heat for roasting whole meats, chickens, etc. Therefore, it is IMPORTANT that the burners are turned to the “Low “ position to prevent burning of the food.

To contain juices and fat, place the food to bake or roast in a metal baking tray to one side of the cooking grid. Turn the burner side directly under the tray to the ‘Off’ position and the burner side opposite the food to the ‘Medium’ position. Close the hood and cook ‘indirectly’. Monitor the temperature with the Hood gauge. If the heat gets too high, turn the burner to the ‘Low’ position. Avoid lifting the hood frequently as heat is lost each time.

GRILL COOKING

OPERATING THE GAS GRILL

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, death or grill damage:

·Do not cover more than half (50%) the cooking area if using griddle plates. Full coverage of cooking area will cause overheating below the plates.

·Always make sure the Foil Pan, Grease Pan and Grease Tray are empty and are properly installed under the Bowl before each cooking.

·Do not leave any utensils on a hot Cooking Grid or cookware.

Cooking on the Grids: The burners heat up the Flame Diffusers under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flame Diffusers below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:

·Never use charcoal in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

·Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.

·Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstructions to the flow of combustion and ventilation air before each use.

·Keep the ventilation openings of the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

·To prevent an explosion from gas build-up, always open the hood before lighting the LP gas grill.
