LP GASCYLINDER SAFETY
Your gas grill is designed for use with astandard 20
lb. LP gas cylinder (not included). DO NOTCONNECT
YOUR GRILL TO AN LP GAS CYLINDER EXCEEDING
THIS CAPACITY.Atankofapproximately12 inches
in diameter by18-1/2 inches high should be the
Maximumsizetankused. Werecommend buying an
"OPD" gas cylinder -which offers an Overfilling
Prevention Device. This safetyfeature prevents the
tankfrombeing accidentallyoverfilled which can cause
malfunction with your cylinder, regulator and/or grill.
Also be sure that (1) the cylinder is provided with a
shutoff valve terminating in an LP gas supplycylinder
valve outlet compatible with aType I cylinder con-
nection device and asafetyreliefdevice having a
direct communication with the vapor space ofthe
cylinder; (2) the cylinder supplysystemmust be
arranged for vapor withdrawal; and (3) the cylinder
used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with specifications ofthe U.S. Depart-
ment ofTransportation (DOT). In Canada, gas
cylinders must meet Canadian Transportation and
Communications(CTC) specifications.

(a) Do not store (emptyor full) spare gas
cylinders under or near this or anyother
appliance.
(b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent
full.
If the information in "(a)" and "(b)" is not
followed exactly,afire causing death or
serious injurymayoccur.
Keep the gas fuel hose awayfrom hot grill
surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnec-
essarytwisting of hose. VisuallyInspect
hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks,
excessivewear or other damage.
If damaged -do not use the grill. Contact
your dealer for afactoryauthorized replace-
ment hose.

BEWARE
OF
SPIDERS
CAUTION: BURNER TUBES MUSTBE IN-
SPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE FIRST
USE
Spiders and small insects occasionallyspin
webs or makenests in the burner tubes during
warehousing and transit. These webs can lead
to agas flowobstruction which could result in
afire in and around the burner tubes. This
type offire is knownas "FLASH-BACK" and
can cause serious damage to your grill and
create an unsafeoperating condition for the
user. Although an obstructed burner tube is
not the onlycause of"FLASH-BACK" it is the
most common cause and frequent inspection
and cleaning ofthe burner tubes is necessary.
Have the LP gas cylinder filled byareputable LP gas
dealer, and visuallyinspected and re-qualified at each
filling.
Have your LP gas dealer check the release valve after
everyfilling to assure that it remains free ofdefects.
Alwayskeep cylinder in an upright position. Always
close the cylinder valve when the grill is not in use.
Do not subject LP gas cylinder to excessive heat.
Never store your LP gas cylinder indoors. Ifyou store
your grill indoors, ALWAYS disconnect LPgas
cylinder FIRST,and store LP gas cylinder safely
outside.
When the appliance is not in use, the gas must
be turned off at the supplycylinder.
Storage ofan appliance indoors is permissible only
ifthe cylinder is disconnected and removed fromthe
appliance.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in awell-ventilated
area out ofthe reach ofchildren. Disconnected
cylinders must not be stored in abuilding, garage or
anyother enclosed area.

Thereisnoneedtopreheatforcasseroles,roastsorother
foods that require slowcooking.
COOKINGTEMPERATURES
HIGH setting -Use this setting onlyfor fast warm-up, for
searing steaksand chops, and for burning food residue
fromthe cooking grids after the cookout is over. Rarely,
ifever,doyouusetheHIGHsettingforextendedcooking.
MEDIUMsetting-Usethissettingformostgrilling,roasting
or baking, and for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.
LOWsetting -Use this setting for all smokecooking,
rotisseriecooking,and whencookingveryleancutssuch
as fish.
Thesetemperaturesvarywiththeoutsidetemperatureand
the amount ofwind.
Cooking with Indirect Heat: You can cookpoultryand
largecuts ofmeat slowlyto perfection on one side ofthe
grill by indirect heat fromthe next burner. Heat fromthe
lightedburnercirculatesgentlythroughoutthegrill,cook-
ing the meat or poultrywithout anydirect flametouching

you to catch meat juices for making gravy.
Flare-Ups: The fats and juices that drip fromthe meat
cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart the distinctive
tasteandcolorforfoodcookedoveran open flame, they
should be expected and encouraged within reason.
Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can result in aruined
meal.

quicklycometo realizethat itis trulyastoveon wheels that cando everythingfrom frying,poaching,grilling
and smokingto roastingsucculent meats.
THE BASICS:
The two methods ofcookingreferred to frequentlythroughout this section are direct and indirect
cooking.Anexplanationofbothisnecessarybeforeyoulaunchintoyourfirstmeal.Somerecipeswillrequire
usingboth direct and indirect cookingmethods.
DIRECTCOOKING targets heat (flame) directlyunder the food. Use this method when grillingand
searingmeats,poultryorfish. The Bakers&Chefscookinggrids,griddle,cookingpanorwok/sautepancan
beusedfordirectcooking.Sidedishes,deepfryingandsmokingarejustafewexamplesofmealsbestcooked
inthismanner.Unlessotherwisenoted,directcookingrequiresthehoodtobeopen,allowingyoutowatch
as your dinner is prepared.
INDIRECTCOOKING is exactlyas it sounds. Heat is directed around the food from an opposing
burner(s)-nottheburnerdirectlyunderneath.Indirectcookingisalwaysdonewiththehooddown,creating
anatmospheresimilartoyourkitchenoven.ImagineyouwanttoroastapieceofmeatonyourBakers&Chefs

kitchen.First,removethecentercookinggridandinsertthecookingpanorgriddle,withyourmeatplacedon
top.Then, theleftand/orright burnersareignited andthehood closed.Ifyouare roastingalargequantityof
items that require more space, you mayplace the items on twocookinggrids with the farthest outer burner
ignited. Either way,indirect cookingis onlyeffectivewith the hood down.
PREHEATING YOUR BAKERS &CHEFS GRILL:
The grill lid is to be in aclosed position duringthe preheat time period. It is necessaryto preheat the
grillforashorttimebeforecookingcertainfoods,dependingonthetypeoffoodandthecookingtemperature.
Foods that require ahighcookingtemperature need apreheat period offiveminutes;foods that require a
lower cookingtemperature need only aperiod of twoto three minutes.There is no need to pre heat for
casseroles, roasts or other foods that require slowcooking.
PREPARATION OF THE COOKING SURFACES:
Afterpreheatingyourgrill,coat the cooking grids withcookingoilto preventfood from sticking.
Whenyou'vefinishedcooking,leaveyourgrillrunningfor5minutesonhightoburnofffoodresidue.Then
brushthecookingsurfaces with afiberorbrasswire brush. All cookingsurfaces canbefurthercleaned with
hotsoapywater.To season your grill, keep cookingsurfaces lightlyoiled at all times. Simplywipeanoiled
cloth over the cookingsurfaces after each cookout. Vegetable oil is best for this purpose. The seasoning
process keeps foods from sticking,and helps prolongthe lifeofyour cookingsurfaces as well.
