3. Ensure that your grill is on hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to
drain into grease cup.

3. Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads or
cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.
4. Use the side burner of this appliance like a normal kitchen range for boiling, sautéing or
frying.
5. To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.
6. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on
very high temperatures.
7. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or
place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
WARNING: Never cover entire cooking area with aluminum foil.
8. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
9. When direct cooking adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to
different internal temperatures in the same time frame.
10. When indirect cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack
inside a heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the un-lit burners.
11. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting grill remove
cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with
water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over the
loaded pan.
12. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches.
Follow the wood manufacturer’s instructions.
13. Grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your experiences,
reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.
14. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your
grid material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
15. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of
cooking oil, empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and
protect surfaces with a quality cover that properly fits your grill.
