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.
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.
Tips for Outdoor Grilling
WARNING - FOOD POISONING HAZARD
- Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
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 food and seal 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" (5.0 cm) intervals around the fat edge of meat to avoid curling.
- Add seasoning or salt only after the cooking is finished.
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 settings 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.
Outdoor Grill Care
Replacing the Igniter Battery
If igniters stop sparking, the battery should be replaced.
- Unscrew igniter button cap counterclockwise to remove.
- Remove battery from the battery compartment.
- Replace with a new alkaline "AA" size battery. Install battery with negative end in first.
- 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 vinyl grill cover. See "Warranty and Service" section to order.
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.
Cleaners 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:
- Stainless steel cleaner: Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the surface.
- 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
Grill Grates
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to grill grates, do not use a steel or fiber scraper. Immediately after you are finished cooking, loosen food soil with a brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to Hl for 10-15 minutes with the hood closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise the hood and let grates cool. Use the brass bristle brush to remove ash from the grill grates.
When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough cleaning. Clean them with a mild detergent and warm water.
For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 ml) ammonia for 1 gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse with water and dry completely.
Warming Rack
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 designed for stainless steel
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.
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
Burners
Cleaning Method:
- Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush
- Clean 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
- Remove grill grates and flame tamers
- Remove the 2 screws that hold the burner in place. Remove gas burner from the grill.
- 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.
- After inspecting the inside of burner for blockage, reassemble burner by sliding the middle tube of the gas burner over the gas orifice.
- Reattach gas burner using 2 screws.
Rotisserie Burner
Cleaning Method:
- Light the rotisserie burner. See the "Using Your Rotisserie Burner" section
- Close the grill hood
