3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Ignition System
The grill is equipped with a battery-free JETFIRE ignition system. This system lights burners instantly with a jet of flame for quick start-ups. If a burner goes out or fails to light, cross-lighting brackets automatically ignite adjacent burners.

3.2 Burner Operation and Control
The grill features six main stainless steel burners and a dual infrared rear rotisserie burner. Ergonomic control knobs are backlit in blue, changing to red when a burner is in use, providing visual indication of active burners. The ACCU-PROBE temperature gauge allows for precise temperature control for various cooking styles including searing, smoking, roasting, and baking.

3.4 Nighttime Grilling
Integrated halogen interior hood lights illuminate the grilling surface, making nighttime grilling convenient and enjoyable.
4. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your grill.
4.1 Cooking Grids
The 0.354-inch (9 mm) thick stainless steel cooking grids are designed for low maintenance. Their unique wave shape provides even heating and prevents smaller food items from falling through, while producing distinct sear marks.

4.2 Sear Plates and Grease Management
Dual-level stainless steel sear plates protect the burners by catching and vaporizing food drippings. Any unvaporized grease is directed to perforated, angular grease management plates, which channel drippings for improved collection and ease of cleaning. This system significantly reduces grease buildup and the risk of grease fires.

4.3 General Cleaning
Regularly clean the exterior stainless steel surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner. Ensure the grease tray is emptied and cleaned after each use to prevent buildup.
