How To Use the George Foreman
®
GBQ440 Propane Grill
Lighting Burner with Ignitor:
1.
Open the Lid or raise the Side Shelf Burner Cover before lighting. Attempting
to light the Grill burners with the Lid down or the Side Shelf Burner with the
Cover closed may cause an explosion! Make sure there are no obstructions
of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the
burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire
beneath the appliance.
2.
All Burner Control Knobs must be in the OFF position.
3.
Turn on gas at the cylinder.
4.
Push down and turn the left-center and right-center Burner Control Knobs
counterclockwise to HIGH.
5.
Press and hold the Ignitor Button to light the burners.
6.
If ignition does not occur in five seconds, turn all open Burner Control Knobs
clockwise to the OFF position. Wait five minutes and repeat lighting proce-
dure. If Ignition still does not occur, use a match through hole located on
Right Side Panel of the Grill.
Important:
Light both CENTER burners FIRST! Once burner is lit, the burner next
to it will light by turning its Burner Control Knob to HIGH. Never light the outside
burners unless the two center burners are lit. Since the Side Shelf Burner has
just one burner, no such sequential precautions exist.
After lighting, please observe the burner flames; make sure all burner ports are
lit. If burner flames go out during operation, immediately turn the gas off and
open Lid to let the gas clear for about 5 minutes before re-lighting.
Before cooking on this grill for the first time, light and set all four burners on
HIGH and operate for about 15 minutes with the Lid closed. This will "heat clean"
the internal parts and dissipate odor from the manufacturing processes and
painted finish. DO NOT, however, operate the Side Shelf Burner with the Cover
closed at any time!
Grilling Instructions:
1.
Light burners and turn all Burner Control Knobs from HIGH to LOW. Make
sure all burners are lit.
2.
To preheat the Grill:
Close the Lid and preheat on HIGH for 8 minutes. After
the 8 minute preheat period, carefully open the Lid and place food onto the
Grill Plate. Cook until done, turning at least once halfway through cooking
time for most foods. Adjust flames with Burner Control Knob as needed.
CAUTION: Condensation may collect on the inside of the Lid when cook-
ing. Use caution when opening Lid.
3.
When finished cooking, or when the propane cylinder is empty, turn all Burner
Control Knobs to the OFF position and close the propane cylinder.
4.
Allow the Grill to cool before disassembling and cleaning.
5.
When cool, the Drip Tray may be removed and emptied.
Be sure the liquid
has cooled before removing Drip Tray.
