Operating the Grill
Page 8
BEFORE USING THE GRILL:
• Make sure the grill has been leak
tested and is properly located.
• Remove any packing material.
• Read and understand the instructions
in this manual.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for sear-
ing and proper browning. The intense
infrared heat produced by your SOLAIRE
Grill meets these requirements perfectly.
Meat is cooked evenly throughout,
while grease and food particles are
vaporized upon contact with the burner,
giving added flavor to your food.
NOTE:
The hot grill sears the food, sealing in
the juices. The longer preheat period,
the faster the meat browns and the
darker the sear marks. Place the food
on the grill and cook to the desired
level. Adjust heat setting, if necessary.
The control knob may be set to any
position between “HI” and “LO”.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended
while cooking.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CONTROL
A FLARE-UP BY DOUSING WITH
WATER. BURNER DAMAGE WILL
RESULT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
With proper care, flare-ups should not
present a problem with your SOLAIRE
INFRARED Grill. Minimize flare-ups by:
• Properly pre-heating the grill.
• Ensuring grill grids are properly
installed with V-shape up.
• Trimming excess fat from meat.
• Cleaning grill regularly to avoid
grease build-up.
• Repositioning meat during cooking.
If a flare-up occurs, move meat to a
different portion of the grill until
flare-up is under control.
HOOD POSITION:
Due to the intense heat generated by
the Solaire burner system, cooking
with the hood closed can only be done
with the control knobs set to a lower
setting. The control panel is clearly
marked with a “
*
” indicating the
highest safe setting for cooking with
the hood closed (see Fig. 4 below).
WARNING
HOOD MUST BE OPEN WHEN LIGHTING GRILL
BURNERS,WARMING UP THE GRILL, AND
WHILE GRILLING WITH ANY CONTROL KNOB
SET IN THE RANGE BETWEEN “
*
” AND “HI”.
HOOD MAY ONLY BE CLOSED WHEN ALL
CONTROL KNOBS ARE SET BELOW “
*
” OR
WHEN THE GRILL IS NOT IN USE.
AVOID WATER
DAMAGE TO BURNER

Optional Accessories
STEAMER/FRYER:
This optional accessory brings a new
level of versatility to outdoor cooking,
allowing you to deep fry, steam or boil
foods on one side of your Solaire while
grilling on the other. To ensure safe
operation and quality results, follow
these instructions:
TO STEAM:
1. Remove either the left or right V-grate
and place the Steamer/Fryer into the
grill as shown in Figure 11.
2. Insert the steaming plate into the
Steamer/Fryer, and add water to just
below the level of the steaming plate.
Be careful not to spill water onto the
burner as damage will result.
3. Place lid onto Steamer/Fryer.
4. Follow lighting instructions on
page 9 and bring water to a boil.
5. Reduce heat, remove lid and add
food to be steamed.
When food reaches desired doneness,
carefully remove lid and remove food
from Steamer/Fryer with long-handled
tongs or a slotted spoon.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THIS A
CCESSORY FROM THE GRILL WHEN
HOT. ALLOW TO COOL COMPLETELY
BEFORE MOVING OR CLEANING.
TO BOIL:
Follow instructions for steaming but
leave the steaming plate out. Add as
much water as necessary to cover the
foods being cooked, but never fill the
Steamer/Fryer more than halfway.
TO FRY:
1. Remove either the left or right V-grate
and place the Steamer/Fryer into the
grill as shown in Figure 11.
2. Fill the Steamer/Fryer no more than
one-third full with oil. Be careful not to
spill oil onto the burner as damage
and/or fire will result.
3. Follow lighting instructions on
page 9. Allow grill to preheat for no
more than three minutes, then reduce
heat to no more than the “
*
” position.
Use an appropriate thermometer to
bring oil to proper frying temperature,
usually between 350° - 375° F.
4. Place fry basket into oil. Carefully
add food one piece at a time using
long-handled tongs.
5. After food has fried for sufficient
time, lift entire fry basket out of oil
and allow to drain. Remove food to
an appropriate vessel and return fry
basket to oil. Repeat as needed.
When finished frying, turn off heat
and allow grill, Steamer/Fryer and oil
to cool completely before attempting to
remove unit. Dispose of used cooking
oil appropriately.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THIS A
CCESSORY FROM THE GRILL WHEN
HOT. ALLOW TO COOL COMPLETEL
Y BEFORE MOVING OR CLEANING.
DO NOT USE LID WHEN FRYING.
