A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS You’ve just joined a discriminating collection of amateur and professional chefs that take outdoor cooking to a new level. Your grill has been designed and built with meticulous attention to detail and it offers some unique and powerful features. You can achieve maximum performance and enjoyment of these features only by carefully reading this manual ... before your first cook-out. This manual includes important safety tips and great hints for better grilling.
GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen ranges. That’s how they sear and grill steaks and other foods. These high-performance burners require a constant, steady supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your grill pulls air in through the front and vents hot gases out through the rear. Your grill features a heat stabilizer that will deflect wind and, in most cases, prevent this situation.
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE AT EACH NEW SEASON There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider before you use your grill. Please be sure that: At the start of each new grilling season you should remove the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifices and valves for obstructions. • All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed from the burners. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly” for further details.) • You have fuel connected.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL ELECTRIC IGNITION Before proceeding, make sure you have completed the “Before Each Use” checklist. Follow these steps to light any of the burners on your grill: First, make sure all burner control knobs are set to OFF. For the Trident™ Burner: Push and turn the control knob to the “LITE/MAX” position, allowing the igniter to spark and the gas to flow. Leave burners on hgh for 5 minutes before lowering the temperature.
BASIC GRILLING PRE-HEATING Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre-heating allows the briquettes to properly heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking results. Pre-heat your grill by igniting all burners and setting them to “HI”. Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to cook your food.
USING THE TRIDENT™ BURNER HOW TO SEAR The Motor Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the food’s outer surface to absorb smoke and food-born aromas produced when drippings are vaporized by the burner. Install the motor by sliding it into one of the slots shown here. Use the top slot for small foods or fast cooking and the lower slot for large foods and slower cooking. The result is a restaurant-style finish … crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER ...continued Then mount the skewer on the grill before lighting the rotisserie infrared burner. Lighting the burner first could result in burning your hands while trying to mount the skewer on the grill. The Rotisserie Burner It’s okay to remove the grill racks and even the briquette trays to make room for large foods on the skewer. mount the To light the rotisserie infrared burner, first mou skewered food item on the grill then follow the rotisserie lighting procedure.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL STAINLESS STEEL Our products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship. In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of the grill it is important to take the following steps: • After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and splatters. • Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the grates and burners clean and ready for use.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL ...continued GRILLING RACKS WARNING - REQUIRED MAINTENANCE W The easiest way to clean the grill racks is to do so immediately after turning off the burners, while they are still hot. Wearing a long BBQ mitt to protect your hand from steam, dip a brass bristle brush in hot water and scrub the grill rack. Dip the brush frequently because the steam helps remove baked-on foods. 1. Failure to perform required maintenance will void your warranty 2.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS GRILL WON’T LIGHT SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by turning on the lights, then: IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY. Check The Igniters Your grill uses an electric ignition system that does not spark. Instead, the igniters should glow constantly when a control knob is pushed in. • Perform a leak test (See INDEX: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued • Check the Regulator WIND HITTING GRILL Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one designed for and supplied with your grill and that it is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using. Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing into or across the hood gap from behind, can cause poor performance and in some cases can cause the control panel to get dangerously hot.
