Cooking On the Gas Grill ! WARNING To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire, explosion or burn hazard: • Never use charcoal or lighter fluid in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. • Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
Grill Cooking (Direct Method) Direct Cooking on the Grids: Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The Burners heat up the Flame Diffusers under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flame Diffusers below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor. Use the Direct Cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and more.
Warming Rack ! WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or flare-up from grease drippings: • When cooking food on the warming rack, make sure no Burners are on directly under the Drip Pan. • Clean grease drippings away from grill after each use. Warming Racks are a convenient way to cook food, keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. To keep foods warm, set the Burners on Low or turn off all that are not needed.
Care and Maintenance ! CAUTION To reduce the risk of a laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling parts that have sharp edges. Cleaning the Grill Bottom Panel, Grease Pan, Foil Pan: Remove the two bolts on the sides securing the Bottom Panel. (Step 12, page 11) Scrape away food and fat residue from the Bottom Panel.
