Indirect Cooking
The indirect cooking method can also be used with
the supplied cooking grids. To cook
indirectly,
the
food should be placed on the left or right side of your
grill
with the burner lit on the opposite side.
Indirect
cooking must be done with the lid down
.
Flare-Ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably,
distinctive taste and color to food cooked over an
open flame, they should be accepted up to a point.
Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can result in a
ruined meal.
Cooking Instructions
Burn-off
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you will
want to "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or
foreign matter. Just ignite the Burners, lower the Lid, and
operate grill on the HIGH setting for three to five minutes.
CAUTION:
Operating your grill on the HIGH setting for longer than
five minutes may damage certain parts of your grill.
Do
not leave your grill unattended.
Preheating
To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the lid and
follow this timetable:
Cooking Temperatures
High setting:
Only use this setting for fast warm-up,
searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue
off the grill after cooking is complete.
Never
use the
HIGH setting for extended cooking.
Medium to Low settings:
Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking,roasting,
baking and for cooking lean cuts such as fish.
NOTE:
Temperature settings will vary with the amount
of wind and temperature outside your home.
Direct Cooking
The direct cooking method can be used with the
supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over
the lit grill Burners.
Direct cooking requires the grill
lid to be up.
This method is ideal for searing and
whenever you want meat, poultry or fish to have an
open-flame barbecued taste. Deep frying and smoking
are also best cooked in this manner because they
require direct heat.
Your grill will get very hot.
Never lean
over the cooking area while using your grill.
Do not touch cooking surfaces, grill housing,
Grill Lid or any other grill parts while the grill
is in operation, or until the grill has cooled
down after use.
Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in serious bodily injury.
WARNING
!
WARNING
Do not line the bottom of the grill housing
with aluminum foil, sand or any substance
that will restrict the flow of grease into the
grease draining tray and receptacle.
Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in a fire or explosion which
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
!
For high temperature cooking, preheat grill
3 to 5 minutes.
For low temperature cooking, preheat grill
3 minutes.
To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.
