OPERATING THE INFRARED SEARING BURNER
Searing food is used in many fine restaurants throughout the country. It can be a challenge though as it cooks at
a higher heat. When done correctly, searing will help hold in flavor making food more moist. Personal tastes
along with types and thickness of cuts of meat vary so experiment to get the results you desire. In general,
follow the hints below.
1.
Searing should always be done at the beginning of cooking.
2. Turn on the infrared sear burner and preheat the grill for about 5 minutes.
The infrared sear burner should always be used on the Hi setting to sear food.
3. Infrared sear burners produce very hot and concentrated heat. Therefore,
we recommend searing each side of your food for no longer than 1 to 2
minutes at a time to avoid charring and flare-ups.
4. You can rotate food 90 degrees to obtain cross searing marks.
5. While infrared sear burners will vaporize most grease and drippings, it is a good idea to control flare-ups by
trimming excess fat and repositioning meat during cooking.
6. Remove food from the infrared sear burner immediately after searing. Cook on the main burner sections to
your desired preference.
TURNING OFF YOUR GRILL
1.
Turn all burner control knobs to the “Off” position.
2.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Grill
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES AND OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES
– wash with a mild dish soap
and warm water. A cloth, soft brush, or plastic cleaning pad can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. The
stainless steel used in the construction of your grill is commercial grade. There are many specific stainless steel
cleaners available. Follow the manufacturer’s directions. Always polish in the direction of the lines. Do not
allow dirt and grease to accumulate. Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch the surface.
In addition, the following products and naturally occurring substances in the outdoors will damage all stainless
steel finishes. Use caution so that they do not come in contact with your gas grill. Immediately wash them off
and dry the stainless steel should they ever come in contact with your Gas Grill. These include, but are not
limited to, Pool Chemicals (chlorine and bromine), Lawn Fertilizer, Ice Melting Salts, Sea or Salt Water, Urine,
Bird Droppings, and Tree Sap.
