warm-up,searing steaks or chops and for burning
food residue off the grill after cooking is complete.

use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.

Medium to Low Settings:

medium to low settings, including all smoking,
rôtisserie cooking and for cooking lean cuts such
as fish.

NOTE:

Temperature settings will vary with the

temperature and the amount of wind outside your

home.

Direct Cooking

supplied cooking grids and food placed directly

over the lit grill Burners.

Direct cooking requires

the grill lid to be

up.The method is ideal for

searing and whenever you want meat, poultry or

fish to have and open-flame barbecued taste.

this manner because they require direct heat.

the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit

cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a

to a point. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can

result in a ruined meal.
