Main Burner Use : When searing foods, we recommend preheating the grill by operating all main burners
in the high position with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for short periods of
time (fish, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more
even temperatures that can reduce cooking time and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking
time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the
food placement). When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can be
oiled before pre-heating to reduce sticking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can create
flare-ups. Either trim the fat or reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a flare-up occur, move food
away from the flames and reduce the heat. Leave the lid open. See Your All Season Grill cookbook by
Napoleon for more detailed instructions.
Direct Cooking: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally used
for searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking times such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken
pieces, or vegetables. The food is first seared to trap-in the juices and flavor, and then the temperature is
lowered to finish cooking the food to your preference.
Indirect Cooking: With one or more burners operating, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burner
that is not operating. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with this
method is much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats such
as roasts, chickens or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to flare-ups or for
smoking foods. Lower temperatures and slower cooking times result in tender foods.
Cooking Instructions
Initial Lighting: When lit for the first time, the gas grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary
condition caused by the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and
does not occur again. Simply run the main burners on high for approximately one-half hour.
Flame Side Burner Use (if equipped): The side burner can be used like any stove top burner, for gravies,
soups etc. For best performance, the gas grill should be located with the side burner protected from the
wind. The recommended pan diameter is 10” (25 cm).
WARNING!
Never grill food directly on the side burner grate. It is designed for use with pots and
pans only.
WARNING!
Do not close the side burner lid while it is operating or hot.
WARNING!
Do not use side burner to deep fry foods as cooking with oil can create a dangerous
situation.
