Burner Flame
The burner flame may not be visible in bright light. The ceramic surface and the burner screen
will heat up to red-hot after 3-5 minutes on HIGH. The ceramic surface will lose its color and a
blue flame will be visible when the burner is turned down to LOW.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
General Overview
Proper care, maintenance, and cleaning will help ensure a long life of your Infrared Sear
Station. Periodic cleaning will help avoid accumulations of flammable grease, fats, and other
debris.
Because of the high intensity of the Infrared Burner, any drippings and food particles that fall
onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may
remain. To remove this residue after cooking, turn the Infrared Sear Station on high for 5-10
minutes with the cover open. This is referred to as the “Burn Off” phase. This will help keep the
burner ports clear and the ceramic material clean.
Caution:
Always allow the Infrared Sear Station to cool before cleaning. Do not allow water to
make contact with the burner surface, at any time.
Grease Tray
The grease pan collects grease, liquid and fallen food particles.
Allow the pan and its contents to cool before cleaning. Slide the pan out and wipe it clean.
Make sure the grease pan is fully inserted back into the Infrared Sear Station again.
It is highly recommended to clean the pan after every use to avoid any possibility of a grease
fire.
Cooking Grates
Leave the Cooking Grates in place for 5-10 minutes while the burner is on HIGH and the hood
removed. The Cooking Grates may also be removed and cleaned with a brass or stainless
steel bristle brush and soapy water. Standard oven cleaner may be used for deeper cleaning.
Rinse the Cooking Grate thoroughly with clean water before using.
Spider and Insect Warning
Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners and orifices of this and any other outdoor
products, which cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This can create a dangerous
condition that can cause a fire behind the valve panel, damaging the Infrared Sear Station and
making it unsafe to operate.
Inspect the burners once a year, or if the grill has not been used for more than a month or if any
of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burner makes popping noises.
