odor or foreign matter. Just ignite the burners and
operate the grill on the HIGH setting for three to
five minutes.

five minutes may damage certain parts of your grill.
Do
not leave your grill unattended.

to HIGH and follow this timetable:
Cooking Temperatures
High setting:
Only use this setting for fast warm-up,
searing steaks or chops and for burning food
residue off the grill after cooking is complete.

use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.

Flare-Ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably,
distinctive taste and color to food cooked over an
open flame, they should be accepted up to a point.

Answer:
To prevent premature rusting of grill and
/or grill components, it is advisable to cover your grill
when it is exposed to the elements. Always make
sure your grill is completely dry before covering to
prevent moisture build up.
When storing your grill inside, you should refrain from
covering your grill with any type of cover as moisture
will be trapped under the cover causing premature
rusting.
Question:
Is it necessary to use a protective cover on
my gas grill?
Question:
What causes a stainless steel to discolor?
Answer:
Weathering and high heat can cause a
stainless steel grill Lid to turn tan in color. This is not to
be confused with rust and is not a product defect.
Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of
stainless steel, cooking oils and a dirty grill Lid can
also encourage discoloration if the Lid is not cleaned
prior to grill use. After your grill is assembled, remove
the protective PVC film from the grill Lid and use a
Stainless Steel Cleaner and soft cloth to remove
residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside
of your grill Lid. Never use abrasive cleaners or
scrubbers. Routine cleaning to remove dirt, grease and
oils will help discourage Lid discoloration.
Grease Tray, Receptacle and Heat Shield:
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining
Tray, Grease Receptacle and Heat Shield should
be inspected before each grill use. Remove grease
(a plastic spatula works well) and wash Grease
Tray and Receptacle with a mild soap and warm
water solution.
