Owner's Manual

USING THE GRILL:

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat set-

ting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be neces-

sary 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.

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. Proper preheating browns the meat and pro-

duces darker sear marks. Place the food on the grill and sear both sides as recommended on the

“Infrared Grilling Tips” section on page 19. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.

ROTISSERIE BURNERS:

Your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie cooking. The location

of the rear burner allows the placement of the rotisserie basting pan (included) beneath the food to col-

lect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add

herbs, onion, garlic, or spices.
