BURNER
NOTE: The Sizzle/Searing Burner knob has three positions:
SIZZLE/SEARING(S) - HIGH(H) - LOW(L). The Sizzle/Searing
position is for Sizzle/Searing only. The High and Low position
is the same as Main Burner.
Whether you are a seasoned chef or a newcomer to gas
grilling, Sizzle/Searing cooking adds another dynamic to your
outdoor cooking experience. With its increased power the
Sizzle/Searing Burner allows you to transform your center
cooking zone into a higher temperature cooking experience.
This will now give you the opportunity to decrease the cooking
time while utilizing the Sizzle/Searing Burner as its increased
BTU’s insure you can cook at almost any temperature.
While utilizing the burner in Sizzle/Searing position you will
experience shorter cooking times as well as higher tempera-
tures.
