••
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.

••
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.

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas 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.

••
Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
••
Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
••
Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the
drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup.

••
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your
food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the
other (unlit) side of the grill.
