Before Grilling
• Make sure that the food items are completely thawed before grilling.
• With the grill lid closed, heat the grill on high for 5-10 minutes.
• DO NOT lift the lid during the preheating process.
• The preheating process with high heat is necessary to brown and seal juices of the food.
• For high-fat meat and poultry, trim excess fat from meats and shorten the preheat time. Both will help reduce
flare-ups from dripping grease.
• Lightly oil the cooking grates when cooking low-fat meat, fish or poultry. Beware that using too much oil can
cause a gray ash to deposit on the food.
During Grilling
• The temperature gauge on the lid indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill.
• Turn foods only once if possible. Juices are lost when meat is turned several times.
• Turn meat just when the juices begin to appear on the surface.
• Avoid puncturing or cutting the meat to test doneness. This allows the juices to escape.
• Add sauces only during the last 10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.
• The doneness of the meat will be controlled by the type of meat, the size, shape and thickness of the meat, the
heat setting or method, and the length of time on the grill.
• Cooking time will be longer with an open grill hood.
• Allow for more cooking time on cold and windy days, or at higher altitudes. In reverse, allow for less cooking
time in extremely hot weather.
• Grilling conditions may require adjustments of the burners to obtain and maintain the correct cooking temperatures.
• Use tongs for turning and handling meat instead of a fork, to avoid losing the meat juices.
• If a flare up occurs, turn the control knob to the OFF position and move the food to another area of the cooking
grate. After flames subside, relight the burners using the lighting instruction in this manual.
• NEVER use water to extinguish flame on a gas grill.
