Using Your Infrared Searing Burner
Infrared grilling produces 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.

• Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes.
• Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is trimmed away prior to grilling.
• Leave the burner set to HI when placing food on the grill to sear.
• Use the sear burner to sear meat 1 to 2 minutes on each side, then move the meat to the main grill cooking surface to finish grilling to the desired doneness.

NOTE: Grates are to be in place when using the infrared sear burner.

Rotisserie Cooking Tips

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

• Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Rotisserie cooking rotates food in front of the rotisserie burner, creating an intense heat for searing the outside and sealing in natural juices.

The rotisserie burner reaches cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. It is not necessary to preheat when using the rotisserie.

• Select tender meat and poultry.
• Allow at least 1″ (2.5 cm) space between rotisserie burner and the food.
• To make cleanup easier, place a pan under the food to catch drippings.
• Add barbecue sauce or glaze only during the last 10 minutes of cooking to keep sauce from burning.

Trussing Poultry for the Rotisserie

1. Load the spit rod by sliding one of the forks on the rod, with the prongs facing inward. Tighten the screw to keep it from slipping.
2. Push the rod through the center of the bird.
3. Cut 24″ (61,0 cm) of butcher’s string and center it under the bird, breast side up.
4. Wrap each end of the string around the wings; catch each wing tip. Bring the string tightly together at the top of the breast and knot. It is not necessary to cut off the extra string.
5. Cut another 20″ (50.8 cm) of string and lay it under the back of the bird. Wrap it around the tail then around the spit rod, cinching tightly.
6. Cross the legs on top of the spit rod; tie a string around the crossed legs.
7. Connect the twine holding the legs, to the string holding the wings, and knot. Cut off any bits of hanging string.
8. Slide on the second fork pushing the tines into the drumsticks.
9. Center the food and forks on the rod and tighten the thumb- screws. The bird should be firmly in place on the rotisserie spit rod.

ROTISSERIE CHART
Use a portable meat thermometer to check the internal doneness of the food. Turn off the rotisserie burner when a meat thermometer reads 5°F/3°C lower than desired internal temperature. Continue rotating, hood closed, for 10 minutes before carving.

Timing is affected by weather conditions such as wind and outside temperature.

TIPS FOR OUTDOOR GRILLING

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

• Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
• Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Before Grilling

• Thaw food items before grilling.
• Preheat grill on high (use all grill burners) 10 minutes. The hood must be closed during preheating. Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices.
• Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce flare-ups.
• Lightly oil the grill grates or the food when cooking low-fat cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.
• Using too much oil can cause gray ash to deposit on food.
• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking to reduce flare-ups.
• Make vertical cuts at 2″ (5,0 cm) intervals around the fat edge of meat to avoid curling.
• Add seasoning or salt only after the cooking is finished.

During Grilling

• Turn foods only once. Juices are lost when meat is turned several times.
• Turn meat just when juices begin to appear on the surface.
• Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to test doneness. This allows juices to escape.
• It may be necessary to lower the heat setting for foods that cook a long time or are marinated or basted in a sugary sauce.
• If using a high flame, add barbecue sauce only during the last 10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.
• The degree of doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut of meat (size, shape and thickness), heat setting selected, and length of time on the grill.
• Cooking time will be longer with an open grill cover.

Cooking Methods

Direct Heat
Cooking by direct heat means the food is placed on grill grates directly above lighted burners. Hood position can be up or down. If hood is in the up position, total cooking times may be longer. Direct heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural juices in food by cooking with intense heat for a short period of time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a flavorful grilled coating.

Indirect Heat
For best results, do not select the indirect heat cooking method when it is windy. Cooking by indirect heat means the food is placed on the grill grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted burner(s) on either side to cook the food. If possible, turn on 2 burners. Cook with the hood down. This will shorten the cooking time.

Grilling Chart

• Knobs have High, Medium and Low settings for flame adjustment.
• Heat settings indicated are approximate.
• Grilling times are affected by weather conditions.
• When 2 temperatures are listed, for example: Medium to Medium-Low, start with the first and adjust based on cooking progress.
• Cooking times may vary from chart times depending on the type of fuel, Natural or LP gas.

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the grill is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks. Do not use steel wool to clean the grill, as it will scratch the surface. To avoid weather damage to the finish, use a vinyl grill cover. See the “Assistance” section to order.

STAINLESS STEEL

IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, cooktop polishing creme, steel wool, gritty washcloths or paper towels.
Cleaners should not contain chlorine. Damage may occur.

Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire grill is cool. Spills may cause permanent discoloration.

Cleaning Method:

• Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the surface.
• Stainless steel cleaner
• Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:
• Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
• Vinegar to remove hard water spots.
• Glass cleaner to remove fingerprints.

GRILL GRATES

IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to grill grates, do not use a steel or fiber scraper. Immediately after you are finished cooking, loosen food soil with a brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to HI for 10-15 minutes with the hood closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise the hood and let grates cool. Use the brass bristle brush to remove ash from the grill grates.

When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough cleaning. Clean them with a mild detergent and warm water. For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 mL) ammonia to 1 gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse with water and dry completely.

WARMING SHELF

Cleaning Method:

• Liquid detergent or an all-purpose cleaner.
• Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
• For tough spots or baked-on grease, use a commercial degreaser designed for stainless steel.

IMPORTANT: Make sure gas supply is off and all control knobs are in the Off position.

EXTERIOR
The quality of this material resists most stains and pitting, providing that the surface is kept clean, polished and covered.

• Apply stainless steel polish to all non-cooking areas before first use. Reapply after each cleaning to avoid permanent damage to surface.
• Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with clean warm water.
• Wipe the surface completely dry with a soft cloth.
• For tough spots or baked-on grease, use a commercial degreaser designed for stainless steel.

INTERIOR
Discoloration of stainless steel on these parts is to be expected, due to intense heat from the burners. Always rub in the direction of the grain. Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with clean, warm water.

Cleaning Method:

• Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner.
• Rinse with clean water and dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• A heavy-duty scrub sponge can be used with mild cleaning products.
• For small, difficult-to-clean areas, use a commercial degreaser designed for stainless steel.

BURNERS

Cleaning Method:

• Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush.
• Clear any clogged burner ports with a straightened paper clip.
• Do not use a toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
• Check and clean burner/venturi tubes.

1. Remove grill grates and flame tamers.
2. Remove the screw and clip that hold the burner in place. Remove gas burner from the grill.
3. Use a flashlight to inspect into the burner through the burner inlet to ensure there is no blockage. If any obstruction is seen, use a metal coat hanger that has been straightened to clear them.
4. After inspecting the inside of the burner for blockage, reassemble the burner by sliding the middle tube of the gas burner over the gas orifice.
5. Reattach gas burner using screw and clip.

ROTISSERIE BURNER
