WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
1. Remove the outdoor sear burner cover.
2. Make sure control knobs are turned to OFF.
3. Turn the gas supply on:
Natural gas or LP gas from a local supply
Using gas supply source other than 20 lb LP gas fuel tank:
Turn the shutoff valve to open position from the front of gas
supply line.
20 lb LP gas fuel tank, if converted
See the "Gas Supply Requirements" section.
Using a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank:
Slowly open the tank valve.
NOTE: If flow limiting device activates, your grill may not
light. If your grill does light, the flames will be low and will not
heat properly. Turn tank valve and all control knobs off and
wait 30 seconds. After shutting off the tank, very slowly open
tank valve and wait 5 seconds before lighting.
4. Do not lean over the sear burner. Push in and turn the sear
burner control knob to LITE/HI, while continuing to hold it in.
5. You will see the igniter glow. When burner is lit, release the
knob. Turn knob to desired setting.
IMPORTANT: If burner does not light immediately, turn the
burner knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
Preheat sear burner on high for 5 minutes. Preheating
provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices.
Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat
or poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce
flare-ups.
