OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General use of the grill and rotisserie
Each main burner is rated at 12,000 BTU/hr. The main grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and are side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and debris. Above the burners are stainless steel radiant (flame tamers). The igniter knobs are located on the lower center portion of the valve panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the control panel.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or foods basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
TO BEGIN:
1.Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.
2.Remove any remaining packing material.
3.Light the grill burners using the instructions.
4.Turn the control knob(s) to “HI” and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed during the appliance preheat period.
5.Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between
“HI” and “LO”.
NOTE: The grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is radiated by the stainless steel flame tamers positioned above each burner.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat, the faster the meat browns and the darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
USING ROTISSERIE BURNER:
Your grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie cooking. Light the rear burner as described in the lighting instructions, once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 12lb. cut of meat or poultry. The motor slides onto the stainless steel motor mount. The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA
The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the motor assembly by placing the pointed end into the
motor, and then sliding the grooved bushing into the slot at the opposite side of the grill. The thumbscrew for the grooved bushing should be inside the grill body. To load the skewer, begin with the bushing screwed on the skewer rod at the opposite end from the point. Slide the counter balance apparatus and tighten on the skewer rod approximately
It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butchers string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any loose portions. Once the food is secure insert the skewer into the motor. It is normal for the skewer to flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked. It may also be necessary to remove the cooking grids for larger cuts of meat. If the meat scrapes on the cooking grids during any part of the rotation, the grids must be removed. Adjust the counter balance weight to balance the heavier side of the meat and avoid lopsided rotation of the rotisserie motor.
After your first use of the rotisserie burner it is likely that the stainless steel adjacent to the burner will darken to a dark blue color. This is a normal property of the
CAUTION: REMOVE THE WARMING RACK
WHEN USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER. THE HIGH HEAT COMING FROM THE BURNER MAY CAUSE THE WARMING RACK TO BEND.
