OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill, and adds to the unique flavor of grilling. Excessive
flare-ups can overcook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill.
• Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
• If excessive flare-ups occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames.
• If a grease fire occurs, close the turn AND lid the regulator/control knob to "OFF ," until the
grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life
1. Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads or
cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.
2. To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.
3. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on very
high temperatures.
4. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or place
on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
WARNING:
• Never cover entire cooking area with aluminum foil.
5. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn foods
over just once during cooking.
6. When direct cooking, adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to different
internal temperatures in the same time frame.
7. When indirect cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack inside a
heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the un-lit burners.
8. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting grill remove cooking
grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with water, fruit
juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over the loaded pan.
9. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow the
wood manufacturer's instructions.
10. Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your
experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.
11. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
12. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of cooking oil,
empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and protect surfaces with
a quality cover that properly fits your grill.
