Grilling Guide
Follow these guidelines for successful grilling:
1Set the temperature control dial to the desired temperature. Preheat the grill
until the READY arrow light goes out, approximately 10 minutes.
2Marinate meats before grilling for extra flavor and tenderness, if desired.
(Marinades with added sugar will cause meats to brown more quickly.)
3Before grilling, partially cook bone-in chicken, ribs and uncooked smoked or
fresh sausages for best results. If not partially cooked, these meats may
become overbrowned on the outside before the center is done.
4Turn food once during grilling unless otherwise directed.
5If desired, brush with barbecue or other sauce during last 5 to 10 minutes
of grilling.
6Unplug from outlet and allow grill to cool completely before disposing of
drippings that have accumulated in the drip channel.
