Operating Instructions
Modular Cooking System
The Pro Series grill offers a unique modular cooking system, allowing for quick transitions between cooking methods:
- Gas Grilling: Utilize the porcelain-coated cast-iron grates for traditional grilling. The Amplifire cooking system ensures even heat distribution and reduces flare-ups.
- Griddling: Easily replace a section of the grates with the heavy-duty, 328-square-inch cold rolled steel griddle surface. Ideal for breakfast foods, stir-fries, and other griddle-cooked items. The griddle features a rear slot for excess grease.
- Charcoal Grilling: For an authentic charcoal flavor, a patented Gas2Coal® charcoal tray (sold separately) can be placed over the burners and ignited.

Gas Grill Operation
The grill is powered by liquid propane gas and can reach up to 500°F in under 10 minutes, maintaining even heat across the cooking surface. The easy-to-clean cast-iron grates are porcelain-coated to resist rust and help achieve desirable grill marks.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning of your grill is essential for optimal performance and longevity. The porcelain-coated cast-iron grates are designed for easy cleaning. For best results, clean the grates after each use once they have cooled. The griddle surface should also be cleaned thoroughly after each use, following manufacturer recommendations for cold rolled steel.
