DIRECT – used for preheating and searing
Use Direct cooking to sear meats. This helps to keep food moist by locking in juices. Some food, such as steak,
is first seared using Direct cooking, and then finished cooking using the Indirect method. This is generally used
for quicker cooking foods. Preheat the grill to 500
°
F (260
°
C). You can shut off one or more burners if you do
not need to use the entire grilling surface once you reach over 500
°
F(260
°
C). You can also use a medium high
heat of 400
°
F or more by turning the burners down slightly. Place the food directly over the heat source.
Remain vigilant when grilling using this method, as it’s easy to overcook.
INDIRECT – how most food is cooked on a gas grill
Indirect cooking is used for foods that take longer to cook, including large cuts of meat such as roasts. It’s also
used for cooking more delicate food that can dry out quickly such as fish and poultry, for fattier foods to reduce
flare-ups, and when grilling using a roasting pan or aluminum foil. Preheat the grill to 500
°
F(260
°
C). Then
turn some burners off, and others to medium to low depending on the temperature you want to maintain.
Generally, turn the center burner off for a 3-burner model and the 2 inside burners off on a 4-burner model.
Grills with more than 4 burners will vary depending on what you are cooking. Generally, you want to keep the
temperature around 350
°
F. Do not place the food directly over any burners when using this grilling method.
SIDE BURNER
Use the side burner to boil soups, corn on the cob, lobster, steam, stir-fries, or warm.
USING THE ROTISSERIE
This grill comes with a Rotisserie. The Rotisserie Motor must be grounded in accordance with local codes, or
in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
OPERATING THE ROTISSERIE
1. Install the rotisserie motor onto the mounting bracket.
2. Slide the counterweight on the spit rod between 2 washers next to the handle, followed by the bushing.
Then slide one meat fork on with the tongs pointing towards the tip of the spit. See Step 5 in the
Assembly Instructions.
3. Skewer the meat onto the spit rod, and slide to the center. You want to balance the weight as evenly as
possible.
4. Slide on the second meat fork with the prongs facing the meat.
WARNING
1. Do not operate your Rotisserie Motor in the rain, or expose it to moisture. Store it in a dry
place when not in use.
2. Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
3. Use caution when handling the spit rod and meat forks, as their ends are sharp. Use insulated
protective mitts or potholders as rotisserie parts and food become hot during use.
4. Keep out of reach of children.
5. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug.
6. Turn motor switch to “OFF” before removing from outlet.
7. Unplug the rotisserie motor when not in use.
8. Do not use the main burners or side burner when using the rotisserie.
