Cooking Hints:
1. When handling meat, use a spatula or tongs, instead of a fork. When meat is pierced the natural juices will leak out.
2. Upon initial use, start off with hamburgers or hot dogs to become familiar with infra-red cooking.
3. To reduce excessive flare-ups:
A. Trim excess fat.
B. Pre-heat on high at least 5 minutes.
C. Keep cooking grids clean after each use.

*The above guide will aid you in achieving excellent cooking results. The more you use your grill, the better you and the
results will become. Keep in mind that several factors such as outdoor temperature conditions, wind, humidity, altitude, size,
quality and thickness of meat can influence results.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING:
CAUTION:
Always allow the grill to cool before cleaning. Avoid exposing burner surface to water.
Proper maintenance and cleaning will extend the life of your grill. Regular cleaning will reduce accumulations of debris,
grease and fats. Infra-red burners incinerate most drippings and food particles, but occasionally some particles may
remain. For removal of these particles turn burner on high for 5 to 10 minutes.
Cleaning:
Drip Pan:
Remove drip pan from grill and clean with soap and water. If pan is lined with foil, remove and replace foil, reinstall pan.
Cooking Grid:
Can be cleaned with a grill cleaning brush while grids are still hot after each use.
Stainless Steel Exterior Housing:
Your “Texas Sizzler JR” is made with the highest quality 304 stainless steel available. Stainless steel requires very little
maintenance; however, a good grade of stainless steel cleaner should be used for exterior cleaning.
Maintenance:
An occasional inspection of venturi inlets and orifice openings is recommended.
Infra-red burner maintenance can be maintained by operating the grill on high for 5 to 10 minutes after each use. Any
excess accumulation of debris on burner surface can be removed easily. Remove cooking grid and burner screen and
vacuum burner surface every few months or as needed.
