If the grill does not function properly, use the following check list before contacting our cus-
tomer service department.
PREHEATING:
The grill lid should be in a closed position during the preheat time period. It is necessary to
preheat the grill for approximately 10 minutes before cooking. There is no need to pre-heat
for casseroles or other foods that require slow cooking.
COOKING TEMPERATURES:
High Setting:
Use this setting for searing steaks and pork chops, and for burning food
residue from the cooking grids.
Medium Setting:
Use this setting for grilling, roasting, or baking.
Low Setting:
Use this setting for smoke cooking, and Indirect Heating Recipes, and when
cooking very lean cuts such as fish.
NOTE:
These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind.
COOKING WITH IN-DIRECT HEAT:
You can cook poultry or smoke fish and large cuts
of meat slowly to perfection. Simply place the meat on side one side of the grill, and use
one burner on the opposite side of the grill. Heat from the lighted burner circulates gently
throughout the grill, cooking the meat or poultry without any direct flame touching it. This
method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts, because there is no direct
flame to light the fats and juices that drip down during cooking.
FLARE-UPS:
The fats and juices that drip from the meat cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups
impart the distinctive taste and color for food cooked over an open flame, they should be
expected within reason.
CAUTION:
Should a grease fire occur, close gas supply at source, turn off all
burners and leave lid closed until fire is out.
CAUTION:
If burners go out during operation, close gas supply at source, and
turn all gas valves off. Open lid and wait five minutes before attempting to re-light
(this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your barbecue is
in operation.
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in
top operating condition and prolong their life. Your gas grill is no exception.
