5. Operating Instructions

1. Preheating: Close the grill lid and turn the temperature control knob to the desired setting. Allow the grill to preheat for 15-20 minutes. The porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates will retain heat for effective searing.
2. Grilling: Place food directly on the preheated cooking grates. Close the lid to maintain consistent temperature and enhance flavor. The lid and body are designed to preserve heat.
3. Temperature Control: Adjust the infinite control burner valve settings as needed for different foods and desired cooking results.
4. Monitoring: Periodically check food for doneness. Avoid opening the lid too frequently to maintain internal grill temperature.
5. Finishing: Once cooking is complete, turn the temperature control knob to the "OFF" position and unplug the grill from the power outlet.
