Operang The Grill
Inial Lighng: When lit for the rst me, the gas grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condion
caused by the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not occur
again. Simply run the main burners on high for approximately one-half hour.
Main Burner Use: When searing foods, we recommend preheang the grill by operang all main burners
in the high posion with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for short periods of me
(sh, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more even
temperatures that can reduce cooking me and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking me longer
than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the food placement).
When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before pre-heang
to reduce scking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can create are-ups. Either trim the fat or
reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a are-up occur, move food away from the ames and reduce the
heat. Leave the lid open. See Your All Season Grill cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instrucons.
Direct Cooking: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally used for
searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking mes such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken pieces,
or vegetables. The food is rst seared to trap-in the juices and avor, and then the temperature is lowered to
nish cooking the food to your preference.
Indirect Cooking: With one or more burners operang, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burner that
is not operang. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with this method is
much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats such as roasts, chickens
or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to are-ups or for smoking foods. Lower
tem
peratures and slower cooking mes result in tender foods.
Infrared Side Burner Use(if equipped): The gas grill should be located so that the side burner is protected from
the wind, because the wind will adversely aect its performance.
The side burner is equipped with a cast iron cooking grid which can be posioned at two dierent heights. The
lower posion can be used like any range top burner, for gravies, soups, etc. The higher posion is for searing
meats. (see instrucons located on side burner lid).
WARNING! Do not close the side burner lid while it is operang or hot.
WARNING! Do not adjust cooking grid while hot or operang.
WARNING! Do not use side burner to deep fry foods as cooking with oil can create a dangerous
situa
on.
Rear Burner Use (If Equipped): Remove the warming rack prior to use. Cooking grids should also be removed
if they interfere with the rosserie. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjuncon with the rosserie kit
(included with most rear burner units) available from your dealer. See the rosserie kit assembly instrucons.
To use the counterbalance - remove the rosserie motor from the gas grill. Place the spit with meat being
cooked across the hangers inside the grill. The meat will naturally hang with the heavy side down. Tighten
the counterbalance arm and weight so the arm is facing up. Slide the counterweight in or out to balance the
load and ghten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a metal dish underneath the meat to
collect drippings for basng and naturally delicious gravy. Basng liquid may be added as required. To seal in
juices, rst operate rear burner on high unl brown, then reduce the heat to thoroughly cook foods. Keep the
lid closed for best results. Your roasts and fowl will brown perfectly on the outside and stay moist and tender
on the inside. For example, a 3 pound chicken on the rosserie will be done in approximately 1½ hours on
medium to high. See ‘Your all Season Grill’ cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instrucons.
WARNING! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioraon of the gas grill
components unless cleaned regularly. When nished cooking disassemble rosserie components, wash
thoroughly with warm soapy water and store indoors.
