OPERATION
WARNING
NEVER cover slots, holes, or passages in the front or bottom of the
grill or cover an entire rack with material such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks air flow through the grill and may cause over heating
or carbon monoxide poisoning.
First Time Use
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, clean the
components and preheat the appliance to rid it of any odors or
foreign matter in the following manner:
•
Remove and clean the cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave™ with
mild soap and water
With cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave™ removed, light the gas
•
grill following lighting instructions (see Page 15) and operate the
gas grill on "Medium" for 30 minutes. Next, turn gas source off
then turn all control knobs to the "OFF" position
Let grill cool, then replace the Flav-R-Wave™
•
Season the cooking grids by coating grids with an organic cold
•
processed cooking oil with a high smoke point, light the grill
and operate on Med/Low for 30 minutes
Recommended cooking oils:
•
o
Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
o
Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
Canola Oil – smoke point (204C/400F)
o
You are ready to grill. Proceed to "Preheating"
•
Preheating
•
Preheat the gas grill on MEDIUM with the lid closed for 15
minutes
Clean cold grids with a nylon grill brush (Item # 65643) or hot grids
•
with a stainless steel wire grill brush (Item #'s 65225, 64014,
64034) and carefully inspect to ensure there are no broken
bristles left on the grid
Coat the grids with a high smoke point cooking oil
•
•
Adjust heat as appropriate for what you are grilling
Lid Position
The position of the lid during cooking is a matter of personal
preference, but the gas grill cooks faster, uses less fuel, and controls
the temperature best with the lid closed.
A closed lid also imparts a smokier flavor to meat cooked directly on
the grid, and is essential for smoking and convection cooking.
Vaporization Systems
Your gas grill is designed for use with the included Flav-R-Wave™
vaporization system. Do not use lava rock, ceramic briquettes or any
other vaporization system other than the one that came with the gas
grill.
