OPERATING THE GRILL:
U-BURNERS:
Each U-burner is rated at 27,500 BTU. (See figure # 6).
The grill burners encompass the entire cooking area
and are side ported to minimize blockage from falling
grease and debris.
Above the burners there are stainless steel briquette
trays with ceramic briquettes. The briquette tray is a
fundamental part for the performance of the grill. Do
not cook on the grill without them.
Make sure the briquette tray is installed properly
before lighting the burner. Each grill burner has its
own igniter.
The burners are locked in the proper position within
the barbeque unit by the inlet port where the valve
orifice stem is located, the shutter adjustment screw
notch and the rear mounting bracket at the back of
the grill cavity. (See figure # 6a)
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat
setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be
necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This method will cook the food
through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade
may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat period, the faster the
meat browns and the darker the sear marks. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired brown
level. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and
“LOW”. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.
SEAR-ZONE™ - IR BURNERS:
Each U-burner is rated at 27,500 BTU. (See figure # 7).
An IR grill works by producing intense heat which quickly sears
the meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the
outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced
as grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result
is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside. Just the
result you want with most grilled foods. Sear-Zone™ burners
are located in their proper position by the inlet port and the rear
bracket support of the burner area.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. The intense infrared heat produced by your
Alfresco ™ Gourmet Grill meets these requirements perfectly. Meat is cooked evenly throughout,
while juices, grease and food particles are vaporized upon contact with the burner, giving added flavor
to your food.
