FOR BEST RESULTS

•Thaw food items before grilling.

•Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal in juices.

If you smell gas, do not at-

tempt to light any burners.

1.Make sure that all control knobs are turned to the OFF position.

2.Open the window to allow any accumu- lated gas to dissipate and wait five minutes before trying to light the unit.

3.If the smell of gas is still present, turn off the gas supply to the unit at the manual shut off valve.

4.Check the unit for leaks by following the instructions in Section 6 in the Installation Instructions or call your authorized servicer or the gas company.

•After preheating, reduce the flame to setting listed on Grilling Chart.

•The degree of doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut of meat (i.e. size, shape and thick- ness), heat setting selected, and length of time on the grill.

•Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce flare-ups.

•Cuts of meat with high fat content should not be grilled.

•Lightly oil grill when cooking low-fat cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.

•For best results food should be turned only once.

•Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to test doneness. This will allow juices to escape.

•When using a high flame, add barbecue sauce to food during the last 10 minutes before removing from grill.
