4. Operating Instructions
Pre-heating the Grill:
Always pre-heat your grill before cooking. Open the lid, turn all main burner control knobs to the HIGH position, and ignite using the Snap-Jet Ignition. Close the lid and allow the grill to pre-heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 500-550°F (260-290°C).
Using the Snap-Jet Ignition:
To ignite a burner, simply press and turn the corresponding control knob to the HIGH position. The integrated igniter will spark, lighting the burner. Repeat for each desired burner.
Utilizing the Sear Zone:
The Sear Zone features two dedicated Boost Burners designed for high-heat searing. To activate, turn the two red Boost Burner knobs to the HIGH position. This area provides concentrated heat for creating bold sear marks on meats and vegetables. Once seared, move food to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking.
