POST-ASSEMBLY
OPERATING INSTRUCTION
GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL:
The grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and are side-ported to minimize
blockage from falling grease and debris. Above the burners are porcelain-coated heat
diffusers. The control knobs are located on the control panel. Follow the lighting instructions
printed on the control panel or in this manual.
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 cooks 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.
1. Make sure the grill has been leak-tested and is properly located.
2. Remove any packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions in this manual.
4. Turn the control knob to the highest possible setting and preheat the grill to the desired
temperature.
5. The grill lid is to be closed during the preheat period.
6. Place food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary.
The control knob may be set to any position between the lowest and highest possible
settings.
7. The grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any
kind. Heat is radiated by the porcelain-coated flame tamers under the cast iron cooking
grids.
8. The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat, the faster the
meat browns.
