Operating the Grill
•
33
•
Monitor the grill thermometer to avoid an excessive temperature situation
If temperature exceeds 600
°
F, turn all burner knobs to OFF and shut off
the gas supply source. Step away and allow the grill to cool.
If there is a fire in the grill enclosure and it is safe to do so:
•
Turn all the grill’s burners to OFF
•
Turn off the gas supply
•
Remove the food and smother the flames by dousing them in
baking soda, sand, or kosher salt
•
Use a fire extinguisher if available
•
Close the lid and any grill vents to further starve the fire of
oxygen
•
NEVER USE WATER
to extinguish a grease fire or flare up
If the propane tank has become part of the fire, or if the fire expands out of control, evacuate the area
immediately
and call the fire department.
Rear Infrared Burner
NOTE: REMOVE THE WARMING RACK BEFORE USING THE REAR INFRARED BURNER. FAILURE TO DO SO
WILL DAMAGE OR WARP THE WARMING RACK AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
Light the rear infrared burner the same as the main burners. Use the grill knob on the middle right and left
labeled “REAR BURNER” in red letters on top of the knob shaft (Figure 30). The infrared burner is designed
to be used with the rotisserie, but may also be used for warming and as an indirect heat source.

Indirect Heating
Indirect heating can be an effective technique to reverse sear, or to slowly cook poultry, ribs, or larger cuts
of meat. Turn on one or two burners to control the temperature, and place the meat over the burners that
are off. Indirect heat greatly reduces flare-ups. A drip pan can also be used to collect fat and juices.
