1. Remove either the left or right V-grate
and place the Steamer/Fryer into the
grill as shown in Figure 10.

burner as damage will result.
3. Place lid onto Steamer/Fryer.
4. Follow lighting instructions on
page 9 and bring water to a boil.
5. Reduce heat, remove lid and add
food to be steamed.
When food reaches desired doneness,
carefully remove lid and remove food

tongs or a slotted spoon.

foods being cooked, but never fill the
Steamer/Fryer more than halfway.
TO FRY:
1. Remove either the left or right V-grate
and place the Steamer/Fryer into the
grill as shown in Figure 10.
2. Fill the Steamer/Fryer no more than
one-third full with oil. Be careful not to

and/or fire will result.
3. Follow lighting instructions on
page 9. Allow grill to preheat for no
more than three minutes, then reduce

bring oil to proper frying temperature,
usually between 350° - 375° F.
4. Place fry basket into oil. Carefully
add food one piece at a time using
long-handled tongs.
5. After food has fried for sufficient
time, lift entire fry basket out of oil
and allow to drain. Remove food to
an appropriate vessel and return fry
basket to oil. Repeat as needed.
