Quick Start Tips
Preheating for different types of grilling:
·
Sear - preheat with all burners set t
o
HI
for maximum cooking
grate temperatures
·
Barbecue - preheat with all burners set to
LO
for a lower starting
grate temperature for grilling foods slower.
Quick Start Tips (con’t.)
Preheating for different types of grilling:
·
Indirect grilling - preheat one burner only on the side opposite
where the food will be placed to allow the slowest and lowest
grilling for larger cuts of meat.
·
Roasting - place the warming rack on the lower supports and
use burner(s) directly under the food on
LO
or indirectly for lower
temperature cooking. This will allow more heat to circulate
around the food during grilling.
Lowering the temperature of the cooking grate:
·
Control knob - turn the control knob to the
LO
setting for the
lowest temperature setting.
·
Control knob - for the lowest cooking grate temperatures the
food can be grilled indirectly with the burner under the food in
the
OFF
position and a single burner away from the food on
LO
.
·
During grilling the grill can be cooled down faster by lifting the lid
while adjusting the control knobs to a lower setting.
Adding a smoked
fl
avor while grilling:
·
Do not use wood chunks on a Saber grill cooking grate.
·
Wood chips can be used by placing them between the cooking
grate bars. Soaking the wood chips for a minimum of 15
minutes prior to use will extend the smoking time.
·
A smoker box (sold separately) can be used by
fi
lling it with
wood chips and placing it directly on the cooking grate
with the burner on the
HI
or
LO
setting.
General Grill Cleaning
·
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke
for paint. Apply a strong solution of detergent and
water or use a
grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid
and bottom.
Rinse and allow to completely air dry.
Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
·
Plastic parts:
Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
·
Porcelain surfaces:
Because of glass-like composition,
most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution
or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring
powder on stubborn stains.
·
Painted surfaces:
Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft non-
abrasive cloth.
·
Stainless steel surfaces:
To maintain your grill’s high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on
grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic
cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed
fi
nish to avoid
damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
