GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL AND ROTISSERIE
Each main burner is rated at 12,000 BTU/Hr. The
main grill burners encompass the entire cooking
area and are side ported to minimize blockage from
falling grease and debris. Above the burners are
stainless steel flame tamers. The igniter knobs are
located on the lower center portion of the valve
panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the control
panel.
USING THE GRILL
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper
browning. When grilling, take into consideration the
meat involved and desired preparation. Large
pieces of meat or poultry may need to be cooled at
a lower setting after the initial browning. This
method cooks the food thoroughly without burning
the outside.
Food cooked for a long time or basted with a sugar-
based marinade may need a lower heat setting
near the end of its cooking time.
To begin:
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is
properly placed.
2. Remove remaining packing materials.
3. Open the lid.
4. Light the grill burners using the instructions on
page 19.
5. Turn the control knob(s) to “IGNITE / HI” setting
and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid
should be closed during the pre-heat period.
6. Place the food on the grill and cook to the
desired preparation. If necessary, adjust the
heat setting. The control knob may be
positioned at any setting between “IGNITE / HI”
and “LO”.
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER
Your grill is capable of performing back burner
rotisserie cooking.
Light the rear burner as described in the lighting
instructions on page 19. Once lit, the rotisserie
burner will reach cooking temperature in about 1
minute.
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a
12lb. cut of meat or poultry. The motor slides onto
the stainless steel motor mount.
The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.
WARNING
The rotisserie motor is equipped with a plug and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
receptacle.
Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug.
Keep the rotisserie motor cord away from the
heated surfaces of the grill. When not in use
remove and store the motor in a dry location.
THE ROTISSERIE SKEWER
The skewer for the rotisserie should be
assembled into the motor assembly by placing
the pointed end into the motor, and then sliding
the grooved bushing into the slot at the opposite
side of the grill.
The thumbscrew for the grooved bushing should
be inside the grill body.
CAUTION
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The grill is designed to grill efficiently without
the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any
kind. Heat is radiated by the stainless steel
flame tamers positioned above each burner.
