Grill Cooking (Direct Method)
Direct Cooking on the Grids:
Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The Burners heat up the Flavor Activators under the Cooking Grids, which
in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flavor Activators below and
vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.
Use the Direct Cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and
more.
These foods should be turned once halfway through the grilling time.
To sear meats, place them over Direct High heat for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time.
Hamburgers, steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing. Usually after searing you
finish cooking the food at a lower temperature.
For Direct Cooking, preheat the grill with the Main Burners on “High.” Place food on the Cooking Grate, and then
adjust all Burners to the temperature required.
Cooking on Griddle Plates allows cooking of smaller items that otherwise would fall through the grill. The Burners heat
the Griddle Plates directly, which cooks the food on contact. The Griddle Plates sear thin cuts of meat or cook food like
eggs that can not be cooked on a grill. They can also be used to heat pans.
CAUTION
Do not preheat Cooking Grids over 5 minutes. The cooking surface coatings could be destroyed.
Use only long-handled heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.
End of Cooking Session
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or burn hazard:
• Allow grill and the grease in the Foil Pan to completely cool before emptying, handling parts, cleaning, moving, or
storage.
• Empty the Foil Pan and Grease Pan after each cooking session so excessive grease does not accumulate.
• Never light the LP gas grill without the Foil Pan, Grease Pan, and Bottom Panel in place.
WARNING
!
1. After each cooking session, turn the Burners to the “High” position and burn for five minutes. This will burn off
some cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.
2. When you have finished using your grill, turn the Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.
3. Turn off the gas at the LP Gas Cylinder valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops.
4. Wait until the grill is cool before closing the side tables, cleaning, preparing for transport or putting on a grill cover.
5. Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage periods. To maintain the condition
and extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored for any length of
time.
