GRILLING TIPS
1.
For LP models, ensure that you have enough propane in the cylinder prior to starting the grill to ensure that you do not run out midway
through
cooking.
2.
Trim excess fat from meat to reduce flare ups caused by grease drippings.
3.
Before lighting burners, spray the cooking grids with non-stick spray or vegetable oil to prevent food from sticking.
4.
Always pre-heat the appliance before adding food for best cooking results.
5.
Do not add salt to meats prior to grilling as it may reduce the “juiciness” of the meat.
6.
Never pierce meat with a fork – always use tongs or a spatula to rotate in order to preserve the internal juices of the meat.
7.
When cooking large cuts of meat over lower temperature settings, brush the meat with vegetable oil prior to placing on the cooking grids.
This will aid in the “browning” of the meat during the cooking process.
8.
Sear meats like steak on “high” temperature setting to lock internal juices in the meat, then reduce heat setting to continue cooking if necessary.
9.
When basting foods, wait until approximately ½ way through the cooking time to add the sauce. Sauces generally contain sugars and/or oils that
may burn easily so limiting their exposure to flames is recommended.
10.
Unless specified differently in recipes, grill with the lid down. This will reduce heat loss and trap the “smoked” flavor within the grill.
11.
When using a meat thermometer to check internal temperatures, ensure that the tip of the thermometer is in the center of the thickest part of the
meat (for poultry, place the tip of the thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh close to the body). Be sure that the tip of the thermometer
is not resting in a fatty deposit or near the bone or spit rod (if rotisserie cooking). This will ensure the most accurate temperature reading.
See “Cooking Guide” section of this manual for desired internal temperatures for a variety of commonly grilled cuts of meat.
MAINTENANCE
COOKING GRIDS:
1.
Clean before/after each use with a stiff wire brush.
2.
It is not necessary to fully clean the cooking grids after each use, but a mild soap and water solution can be used as necessary.
Always rinse cooking grids thoroughly after cleaning.
3.
Do not use commercial grade oven cleaners to clean cooking grids.
HEAT PLATES:
1.
Remove cooking grids and scrape any built up residue from heat plates with the back of a long handled grill brush.
2.
It is not necessary to fully clean the heat plates after each use, but a mild soap and water solution can be used as necessary.
Always rinse heat plates thoroughly after cleaning.
3.
Do not use commercial grade oven cleaners to clean heat plates.
GREASE CUP/GREASE TRAY:
1.
The grease cup/grease tray is located below the bottom bucket of the appliance and will catch any grease drippings/food residue that is not
burnt off during cooking.
2.
Wait until the grease/residue in the cup/drawer tray is cooled and empty into garbage.
3.
The grease cup/grease tray should be emptied regularly to prevent possible flare ups or spillage.
BOTTOM BUCKET:
1.
When appliance is cool, scrape sides and bottom of bucket to remove any built up residue and vacuum annually
or sooner if needed.
EXTERIOR SURFACES:
1.
Stainless Steel: Clean with specialized stainless steel cleaning product annually or sooner if needed.
Note: Over time, weathering and extreme heat can sometimes cause a stainless steel lid to reflect a slightly beige color.
This discoloration is limited by the use of an insulating heat shield layer inside the lid itself, but is not considered a manufacturing defect.
2.
Steel: Clean with mild soap and water annually or sooner if needed.
3.
Cast Aluminum: Clean with mild soap and water annually or sooner if needed.
4.
Plastic: Clean with mild soap and water annually or sooner if needed.
