The Memphis Direct Flame Flavorizer Insert is a must-have accessory for any griller. The Flavorizer Insert conveniently replaces the
easy access hatch adding the flexibility to cook directly over a direct flame, while still managing grease flow. The direct flame insert is
offered for the Memphis Elite, Elite Built-In, Pro, Pro Built-In and Advantage models.
Using Your Memphis Direct Flame Flavorizer Insert
1. Using the Memphis Genie Tool, remove the cooking grates and Easy Access Hatch from the flavorizer.
2. Replace the Easy Access Hatch with the Direct Flame Flavorizer Insert.
3. Replace the cook grates, and close the grill’s hood.
4. Turn the grill on, and increase the grill set temperature to the grill’s highest set point. From point, continue to press
the ↑ button one,two or three times to reach OF-1, OF-2, or OF-3*, respectively, OF-3 being the hottest setting.
5. The grill must first be preheated before the direct flame cook may begin. Initially, the “Grill” light will be flashing on
the ITC controller, indicating the grill is igniting and preheating. While the grill is preheating the grill hood must
remain in the closed position.
6. The Grill “Set” temperature should display the selected “OF” setting, and the Grill “Actual” temperature should
read “----“.
7. Once the grill has achieved a minimum temperature, the “Grill” light will stop flashing. At this point, your grill is
ready for direct flame cooking**.
8. Open the hood and enjoy direct flame cooking.
Notes:
1: While operating the grill in a direct flame setting the actual grill temperature will not be displayed, and the meat probe set
temperature will be disabled. The meat probe will, however, display an actual meat temperature.
2: Direct flame cooks should be performed with the hood in the open position. A closed hood during longer direct flame cooks may
result in an ER-1 error message. This error message means that the grill has reached too high of a temperature causing the grill to
shut down avoiding any damage to the unit.
3: The grill is only to be operated in an OF setting while cooking over a direct flame.
4: The grill is never to be operated in a direct flame setting without the optional Direct flame Flavorizer Insert.
5: Never leave your grill unattended during a direct flame cook.
* OF-3 setting not available on Advantage model.
** In colder weather, it may be wise to allow the grill to warm up a bit longer before direct flame cooking
