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:
Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
o
Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
o
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.
