  INSTALLATION / USE & CARE
PRE-HEATING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely 
important. Pre-heating allows the briquettes to properly 
heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking 
results. 
Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, including the 
ProSear™ burner, and setting them to “HI”. 
Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to 
15 minutes. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat 
temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to 
cook your food.
TYPES OF COOKING
The main brass burners and the ProSear™ burner in your 
grill are capable of creating a range of heat intensities. By 
varying the heat output, the number of burners used and 
the position of the hood, you can create either direct or 
indirect heat or a combination of both and develop a wide 
variety of succulent recipes. There are two basic types of 
grilling in an outdoor grill... Direct Heat and Indirect Heat
Direct Heat
Direct heat cooking occurs when foods are placed di-
rectly over the heat source. This form of heat is known as     
“radiant” heat because the heat radiates directly from the 
source to the food. 
Direct heat is a must when you want to sear the outside of 
your food to seal in fl avor. ProSear™ Burners provide the 
heat necessary to sear foods and seal in fl avor.
Indirect Heat
Indirect heat cooking occurs when the food is not 
close  to  the  heat  source.  Heat  reaches  the  food  via  air 
movement within the cooking area. This form of heat is 
known as “convection” heat.
Indirect, or “convection” cooking is achieved by placing 
the food on one side of the grill and igniting burners on the 
other side. You leave the burner below the food “OFF”. 
You should keep the hood closed as much as possible 
during this type of cooking to maintain even heat around 
the food. You regulate the heat by adjusting the burner, 
using the hood thermometer to monitor the temperature.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED 
DURING THE PRE-HEAT CYCLE OR AT ANY 
TIME WHILE THE GRILL IS IN USE. 
PRE-HEATING FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES  
MAY OVERHEAT THE GRILL, CAUSING DAMAGE                                                                          
TO THE GRILL.
