Preheating the infrared burner
Always preheat the entire grill before cooking. If the grill is already hot from cooking, you should still
preheat the infrared burner for 3 minutes on high. Never place food over the burner until it is fully
preheated to avoid clogging the small ports and damaging the burner from grease drippings and food
particles.
Infrared Burner Cleaning
To keep your infrared burner operating at maximum performance, after each use turn the burner on
high for 5-7 minutes with the lid open. This allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away.
Once your grill has cooled completely, use a soft brush or vacuum to remove any ash accumulation on
the burner if necessary.
Sear Burner Tips:
•
The sear burner has a series of ceramic tiles producing the infrared energy. Be careful when
installing/removing and storing the burner as to not crack the tiles. Jarring of the burner could
break the tiles.
•
Avoid pouring marinades over the top of the meat positioned above the sear burner. The large
volume of liquid pouring on the hot ceramic plates could damage the plates or clog the burner’s
gas ports.
•
The sear burner is made for high temperature cooking and is best run in the high position. For
thicker steaks or those cooked to a well-done temperature, it might be preferred to sear the
meat over the infrared burner then move it to a cooler or finishing side of the grill to complete
cooking. This can be accomplished by having a conventional main burner section of the grill
running at a low setting. This technique can improve the crust of the steak.
