Burn-Off
[] Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you
should "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or
foreign matter, ignite the main burners, lower the Lid,
andoperate grill on HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes.
The Lid must be open if the infra-red burner is lit.
CAUTION: Operating your grill on the HIGH setting for
longer than five minutes may damage certain parts of
your grill. Do not leave your grill unattended when in use.
Preheating
[] To preheat main burners, light your grill on HIGH,
lower the Lid and follow this timetable. To preheat
the infra-red burner the Lid must be open.
• For high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5
minutes.
• For low temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes.
• To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.
Cooking Temperatures
[] High setting: The HIGH Control Knob setting should
only be used to pre-heat your grill the first 3-5 minutes
and for burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes
after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH setting
for extended cooking.
[] Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking,
rotisserie cooking and cooking lean cuts such as fish.
An Important Note About Cooking Temperatures
[] The suggested heat settings and cooking times
shown in the following pages are approximate.
Unlike the controlled environment inside your kitchen,
variables including outside temperatures, direction
and conditions of wind, as well as grill location will
affect your grill's heat distribution. Because these
condition vary, and no two backyards are alike, we
offer this guide as a convenience. We recommend
you monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as
needed to prevent overcooking and ensure the most
delicious results every time.
• The infra-red cooking area is for quick searing. Once
seared, reduce heat and continue cooking or move
food to the primary cooking area to finish cooking.
• The middle and back primary cooking areas offer
high heat for grilling.
• The Secondary Cooking Rack offers medium heat for
preparing breads and firm vegetables.
• The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is
ideal for preparing delicate foods and for keeping
cooked foods warm.
Direct Cooking using Main Burners or Infra-red Burner
[] The direct cooking method can be used with the
supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over
the lit grill Burners. Direct Cooking requires the Grill
Lid to be open. This method is ideal for searing and
grilling when you want an open-flame barbecued taste.

Indirect Cooking using Main Burners
[] The indirect cooking method can also be used with
the supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly, the
food should be placed on the left or right side of your
grill with the main Burner lit on the opposite side. Or
place your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and
light the outer main Burners. Either way, indirect
cooking must be done with the Lid down.
Prepare Cooking Grids for Grilling
[] Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods
from sticking during the cookout and reduces the
amount of cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a
thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto
each Cooking Grid before each cookout. We do not
suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for
high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire
cooking surface.
Flare-Ups
[] The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups which impart a favorably, distinctive
taste and color to food. They should be accepted up
to a point. To minimize flare-ups:
• Use a drip pan under foods that produce a lot of grease.
• Trim excess fat from meats and poultry.
• Preheat the grill properly.
• Clean grill regularly to remove food and grease build-up.
• Reposition your food often to avoid flare-ups.
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause
serious bodily injury, death or property damage.
Never line the bottom of the grill housing or
Savor Plates TM with aluminum foil, sand or any
substance that will restrict the flow of grease
into the Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.
Before each use of your grill: Pull out the Grease
Tray and remove all grease and food debris to
prevent grease fire hazard.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any
wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet
away from combustible objects that can melt or
catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences
and overhangs) or sources of ignition including
pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical
appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame
retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill.
Never lean over cooking areas while using grill.
Do not touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill housing
or other parts while grill is in operation, or until
the grill has cooled down after use.
