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  method  will  cook  the food 
through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may 
need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time. 

 
NOTE:   

The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat period, the faster 

the meat browns and the darker the sear marks. Place the food on the grill and cook to the 
desired  brown  level.  Adjust  heat  setting,  if  necessary.    The  control  knob  may  be  set  to  any 
position between “HI” and “LOW”. 

 

DO NOT  

leave the grill unattended while cooking. 

 

 
SEAR-ZONE™ - IR BURNERS:

 

 
An IR grill works by producing intense heat which quickly sears 
the  meat.  Searing  locks  in  flavor  and  juices  while  allowing  the 
outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced 
as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result 
is  a  crisp,  flavorful  outside  with  a  tender,  juicy  inside.  Just  the 
result you want with most grilled foods. 
 

USING THE GRILL: 

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. The intense infrared heat produced by your 
Artisan™  Grill  meets  these  requirements  perfectly.  Meat  is  cooked  evenly  throughout,  while  juices 
grease and food particles are vaporized upon contact with the burner, giving added flavor to your food. 
 

NOTE: 

The  hot  grill  sears  the  food,  sealing  in  the  juices.  Proper  preheating  browns  the  meat  and 
produces darker sear marks.  Place the food on the grill and sear both sides as recommended 
on the “Infrared Grilling Tips” section on page 19. 

 

DO NOT  

leave the grill unattended while cooking. 

 
 

ROTISSERIE BURNERS:

 

 
Your ARTISAN™ Grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie cooking. The location of the rear 
burner allows the placement of the rotisserie basting pan (not included) beneath the food to collect juices 
and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, 
garlic, or spices.
