OPERATING THE GRILL:
Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside the Gas section of the grill. Read and follow all
warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.
BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:
In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the
burner and cooking surfaces of your grill.
Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "HIGH" to burn
off these residual oils.
PREHEATING THE GRILL:
Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are
at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the
main burner control knobs to the "HIGH" position for 10 to 15 minutes. Close the cover during the
preheat period.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas
grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your
grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should
occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in
serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs close the lid and turn off the main burners until the
grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
WARNING
DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.
DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.
DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.
Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.
