TIPS FOR OUTDOOR GRILLING

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.

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 cm) intervals around the fat edge of meat to avoid curling. Add seasoning or salt only after the cooking is finished.

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.

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.

34

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 MediumLow, 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.

OUTDOOR GRILL CARE

Replacing the igniter Battery
If igniters stop sparking, the battery should be replaced.
1. The igniter button cap is located on the outside of the grill’s right side panel.
2. Unscrew igniter button cap counterclockwise to remove.

GRILL GRATES
IMPORTANT: Immediately after you are finished cooking, turn all burners to HIGH for 10-15 minutes with the hood closed to burn off food residue. Turn off all burners, raise the hood and let the grates cool. When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough cleaning. Clean them with a mild detergent and warm water. For baked-on food residue, prepare a solution of 1 cup (240mL) ammonia to 1 gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse with water and dry completely.

A.”AA” size battery
B. Igniter cap 2. Remove battery from the battery compartment. 3. Replace with a new alkaline “AA” size battery. Install
battery with negative end in first. 4. Screw igniter button cap clockwise into place.
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 finish, use grill cover.
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 wash cloths or paper towels. Cleaner 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.

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. 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 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.

37

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 2 screws and cotter pin 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 burner for blockage, reassemble burner by sliding the middle tube of the gas burner over the gas orifice.

SEAR BURNERS
. Cleaning Method:
Clean the exterior of the sear burner with a wire brush
GREASE CUP
IMPORTANT: The grease cup should only be removed when grill is completely cool. The grease cup collects grease and food particles that fall through the grill. Clean often to avoid grease buildup. Cleaning Method: Remove the grease cup. Wipe excess grease with mild detergent and warm water
using paper towels. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace grease box.
KNOBS AND FLANGE AREA AROUND KNOBS
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to knobs or flange area around knobs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or oven cleaner. Do not soak knobs. Cleaning Method: Mild detergent, a soft cloth and warm water. Rinse and dry.
CONTROL PANEL GRAPHICS
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to control panel graphics, do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners or oven cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto panel. Cleaning Method: Clean around the burner labels gently; scrubbing may
remove printing. Mild detergent, soft cloth and warm water. Rinse and dry.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Grill will not light
Is the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank valve turned off? Turn the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank on.
Is the grill properly connected to the gas supply? Contact a trained repair specialist or see Installation Instructions.
Is there gas in the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank? Check the gas level.
Is the igniter working? Check that the igniter battery is properly installed or check to see if the battery needs to be replaced. See the “Replacing the Igniter Battery” section.
Check to see if the grill will match-light. See “Manually Lighting the Grill and side burner” in the “Outdoor Grill Use” section. Check for loose wire connections to the igniter or electrodes. Check to see if debris is blocking the electrodes. If a spark occurs anywhere but the igniter tip, replace the igniter.
Burner flame will not stay lit
Is the gas supply fully turned on? Check that the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank valve is fully open.
Is the gas supply in the 20 lb LP fuel gas tank low? Check the gas level.
Is the burner properly installed and in good condition? Check that the burner is installed properly. Check for defects in the burner.
Flame is noisy, low or erratic
Is the gas supply fully turned on? Check that the 20 lb LP gas fuel tank valve is fully open.
Is the gas supply in the 20 lb LP fuel gas tank low? Check the gas level.
Does only one burner appear low? Check and clean the burner ports if clogged or dirty. See “General Cleaning” section.
Is the gas supply hose bent or kinked? Straighten the gas supply hose.
Is the flame noisy or lifting away from the burner? Burner may be getting too much air. Check the air shutter adjustment, see “Check and Adjust Burners” section.
Is the burner flame mostly yellow or orange? Grill may be in an area that is too windy, or not receiving enough air. Check the burner air inlets for obstructions. Check the air shutter adjustment, see “Check and Adjust the Burners” section.

Excessive flare-ups
Is there excessive fat in the food being grilled? Keep flame on low or turn one burner off. Keep the hood up when grilling to avoid excessive flare-ups. Move food to the warming rack until flames subside. To avoid damage to the grill, do not spray water on gas flames.
Low heat LP Gas: For outdoor grills using a 20lb LP gas fuel tank, slowly open the tank valve. NOTE: If flow limiting device activates, your grill may not light. If your grill does light, the flames will be low and will not heat properly. 1. Turn tank valve and all control knobs off and wait 30 seconds. 2. After shutting off the tank, very slowly open the tank valve and
wait 5 seconds before lighting. 3. Light the burners one at a time. See “Lighting the Grill and side
burner” section. Natural Gas: Gas pressure is affected by size and length of the gas line from the house to the grill. Contact a qualified gas technician to provide the Natural gas supply to the selected grill location in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA54 – latest edition and local codes.
