General use of the grill and rotisserie
Each main burner is rated at 10,000 BTU/hr. The main grill
burners encompass the entire cooking area and are side
ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and debris.
Above the burners are stainless steel radiant (flame
tamers). The igniter knobs are located on the lower center
portion of the valve panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on
the control panel.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most
foods are cooked at the “IGNITE/HI” heat setting for the entire
cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or
poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after
the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning
the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or foods basted with a
sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of
the cooking time.
To begin:
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly
located.
2. Remove any remaining packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions.
4. Turn the control knob(s) to “IGNITE/HI” and preheat the grill
for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed during the appliance
preheat period.
5.
Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness.
Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set
to any position between “IGNITE/HI” and “LO”.
NOTE:
The grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use
of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is radiated by
the stainless steel flame tamers positioned above each
burner.
NOTE:
The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices.
The longer the preheat, the faster the meat browns and the
darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
USING ROTISSERIE BURNER:
Your grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie
cooking. Light the rear burner as described in the lighting
instructions, once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking
temperatures in about 1 minute.
The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the motor
assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor, and
then sliding the grooved bushing into the slot at the
opposite side of the grill. The thumbscrew for the grooved
bushing should be inside the grill body. To load the
skewer, begin with the bushing screwed on the skewer
rod at the opposite end from the point. Slide the counter
balance apparatus and tighten on the skewer rod
approximately 2-4” from the bushing. Slide the first meat
fork onto the skewer rod prongs toward the food. Center
the product to be cooked on the skewer then push the
meat forks firmly together. Tighten the wing nuts as tight
as possible.
It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butchers
string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any
loose portions. Once the food is secure insert the skewer
into the motor. It is normal for the skewer to flex when
larger cuts of meat are being cooked. It may also be
necessary to remove the cooking grids for larger cuts of
meat. If the meat scrapes on the cooking grids during any
part of the rotation, the grids must be removed. Adjust the
counter balance weight to balance the heavier side of the
meat and avoid lopsided rotation of the rotisserie motor.
After your first use of the rotisserie burner it is likely that
the stainless steel adjacent to the burner will darken to a
dark blue color. This is a normal property of the
non-rusting, type 304 stainless steel used on the grill.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: REMOVE THE WARMING RACK
WHEN USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER. THE
HIGH HEAT COMING FROM THE BURNER MAY
CAUSE THE WARMING RACK TO BEND.
