USING THE GRILL
4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if
necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LO”. Most grilling
is between “MED” and “HI”.
5. Allow grill to cool and clean the drip tray after each use.
NOTE: If using LP gas, your preheat time may be shorter than recommended. To prevent over-
cooking or burning you may want to lower heat settings.
USING THE GRILL LP GAS:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “Medium”
heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may
be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through
without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may
need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
1. Check to be certain the drip tray is in place.
2. Light the grill burners using the instructions on page 17.
3. Turn the control knob to “HI”. Once the burner is lit, typical preheat time for grills using LP gas
is 5 to 10 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed during the appliance preheat period.
4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary.
The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LO”.
5. Allow grill to cool and clean the drip tray after each use
Grilling Method Note: Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect
cooking uses heat from adjacent burners to cook food and in many cases, reduces the possibility of
overcooked or overly browned food. Foods most appropriate for indirect grilling included breads, thicker
pieces of chicken or steaks.
