Burn-Off
[]
Some of the new parts
of your
grill could have
residual
oils. We recommend
you ignite
the
burners,
turn to "HI", and lower the lid for 3 to 5
minutes
to burn any oils off before grilling
for the
first time.
CAUTION:
Operating
your
grill on the "HI"
setting
for longer
than
five minutes
may damage
certain
parts of your
grill.
Preheating
[]
To preheat,
light your grill on "HI/LIGHT',
lower
the lid, and follow
this timetable:
for high
temperature
cooking,
preheat
grill 3 to 5
minutes;
for low temperature
cooking,
preheat
grill
3 minutes.
Preheating
is not necessary
to
slow cook.
Cooking
Temperature
[]
High
Setting:
The "HI"
control
knob setting
should
only be used to sear some meats,
pre-heat
your
grill the first 3-5minutes
and for
burning
food residue
off the grill for 3-5 minutes
after
cooking
is complete.
Never
use the "HI"
setting
for extended
cooking.
Medium
to Low Settings:
Host recipes
specify
medium
to low settings,
including
all smoking
and rotisserie
cooking,
lean cuts of meat,
chicken,
and fish.
An Important
Note About
Cooking
Temperature
[]
The outside
grilling
area is not the controlled
environment
that
your
indoor
kitchen
is. Many
variables
can impact
the cooking
performance
of
your
grill, including
outside
air temperature,
wind,
humidity,
and altitude.
Allow
more
cooking
time for cold, wind, and higher
altitudes.
We recommend
you place the grill in an area
protected
from
wind.
Monitor
your
grill closely
and rotate
foods
as needed
to prevent
overcooking
and ensure
the most delicious
results
every time.
Experimenting
makes
grilling
more
fun and interesting!
The middle
and back primary
cooking
areas offer
the highest
heat for searing
and grilling.
The warming
rack offers
medium
heat for
preparing
breads
and firm
vegetables
like
potatoes
and corn and keeping
food warm.
The front
primary
cooking
area offers
less heat
and is ideal for preparing
delicate
foods
and also
for keeping
cooked foods
warm.
Direct
Cooking
[]
The direct
cooking
method
is used when food is
placed
directly
over the lit grill burners.
This
method
is ideal for searing,
grilling,
deep frying
and whenever
you want foods to have an
open-flame
barbecued
taste.
The lid can be open
or closed depending
on your
preference.

Indirect
Cooking
[]
The indirect
cooking
method
is used for most
foods.
Do not place the food directly
over a
burner
to use this method.
Instead,
the
food should
be placed on the left or right
side
of your grill with
the burner
lit on the
opposite
side or in the center
with the center
burners
off. Indirect
cooking
must
be done
with
the lid down.
Prepare
Cooking
Grates
for Grilling
[]
Greasing
the cooking
surface
will help keep
foods from sticking
and reduce the amount
of
cleanup required.
Use a brush to apply a thin
layer of cooking oil or vegetable
shortening
onto
each cooking
grate.
We do not suggest
spray
type oils unless
they are specified
for
high-temperature
cooking.
Be sure to coat
the entire
cooking surface
including
edges
and any areas with
chipped porcelain.
Flare-Ups
[]
The fats and juices
dripping
from
grilled
food
can cause flare-ups.
Flare-ups
work to color
and flavor
your foods,
so some flare-ups
are
preferred.
Too many
can work
against
you
though.
Reduce flare-ups
by trimming
away
excess fat, using the indirect
method
of
grilling,
and grilling
using
lower
temperatures.
Using
the Back Burner
[]
The back burner
is used when cooking with a
rotisserie,
which
is sold separately.
Please
follow
the points
below when using the back
burner.
1.
Always
remove
the warming
rack.
2.
Do not use the main burners
when the
back burner
is in use.
3.
Use an aluminum
foil pan to catch the
juices
that
drip down
from the food.
Allowing
grease
to gather
in the bottom
of
the firebox
could create
a grease
fire the
next time
the main burners
are used.
Never
line the bottom
of the firebox
with
aluminum
foil, sand or any substance
that
will restrict
the flow of grease
into the grease
tray or cup.
Before
each
use, pull out the grease
tray
and remove
all grease
and food debris
to
prevent
a grease
fire hazard.
Your
grill will get very
hot. Always
wear a
flame
retardant
BBq Mitt when cooking on
your
grill.
Never lean over cooking
areas
while
using grill.
Do not touch
cooking
surfaces,
lid, grill
housing
or other
parts
while grill is in operation,
or until the grill has
cooled
down after
use.
