Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling.
Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and be dangerous.
Important:
Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If a grease fire occurs
, close the lid
AND
turn the control knob(s) to “ OFF” until the grease
burns out. Be careful when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
If excessive flare-ups occur,
do NOT
pour water onto the flames.
Minimize Flare-ups:
1. Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
2. Cook high fat content meats on (LOW) setting or indirectly.
3. Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is
allowed to drain into grease receptacle.
