1. Since these grill plates transfer heat so quickly, evenly, and
efficiently, you may opt to cook on lower heat settings which may
actually result in fuel savings.
2. For best cleaning results, preheat the grill for approximately 10
minutes and then use a brass bristle brush to clean the grill plates.
3. Most cooking will be done on the "Non-Flat" side. Delicate foods
thatcouldfallthrough(fish,vegetables,etc.)shouldbepreparedon
thereversible flat side.Since mostof these foodsare dryby nature,
it is suggested that a light coating of cooking oil be applied to the
grill plates before use. Some foods may stick more than others, but
sticking many times may be attributed to the grill plate being too
hot, and lower heat setting is warranted. Again, experimentation is
the key. A sharp edged spatula is also very helpful.
4. Over time the grill plates may change slightly in color. This is
normal and in no way alters performance or durability.
5. The Superb elevated cooking racks are very versatile and can
actually be used to cook food slower than the main grill area. For
rotisserie use, simply remove by lifting off the elevated cooking
racks and grill plates and replace with drip pans.
COOKING
1. Besurethedriptraysareinplaceandpushedallthewaytotheback
of the grill.
2. Light the burners using the lighting instructions.
3. Preheat the grill after lighting with burner knob turned to "HI" for
10 minutes. Keep the lid closed while preheating.
4. Placethe food onthe grill andcook to thedesired doneness.Adjust
the heat setting if necessary. The burner knob may be set to any
position between "HIGH", "MEDIUM" and LO."
5. Turn all knobs to "OFF" and shut off gas supply when you are
finished grilling or after burning residue off grates.
6. Clean the cooking grids, drip trays and drip pans after each use.
Grillingrequireshigh heat forsearingand proper browning.Most foods
are cooked at the highest 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 will cook the food completely through without burning the outside.
Foodscookedforalongtimeorbastedwithasugarymarinademayneed
a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time. The doneness of
the meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large
degree by the thickness of the cut. Trim any excess fat from the meat
beforecooking.Topreventsteaksorchopsfromcurlingduringcooking,
slit the fat around the edges at 2-inch intervals. When defrosting meats,
it is recommended that it be done overnight in a refrigerator as opposed
to a microwave as the microwave can dry out or even partially cook the
meat.
Thermometers
Your Superb grill comes equipped with a thermometer which reads the
air temperature inside of the lid assembly. Also, a second thermometer
is located in the steamer lid which monitors air temperature.

Cooking Chart for Desired Doneness
Insert an instant read thermometer directly into center of meat to check
for doneness.
MEAT RARE MEDIUM WELL
Beef 135°- 140°F 150°- 160°F 170°F
Pork not recommended not recommended 170°F
Poultry not recommended 170°F 185°F
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking is a cooking technique that is similar to roasting and
baking in the oven. To cook with indirect heat turn Burner 1 and Burner
5 on High and Burner 3 on Low. Refer to the Cooking Chart for desired
doneness of meat. Also, pastries can be baked with the same indirect
cooking technique. Baking time will be similar to the recipe instruc-
tions.Monitorthe thermometer inthelid to maintaintemperaturein any

Flare-Ups
Always remember to pre-heat the grill for ten (10) minutes before
startingtocook.When you cook fatty foods overanopenflame,youcan

and smoke that give foods cooked on your grill that delicious outdoor
flavor and appearance. Expect and encourage a moderate amount of
flare-up. Excessive flare-ups occur when cooking extra fatty foods, or
if cooking temperatures are too high. Control flare-ups by:
1. Turn your burner knob to a lower setting.
2. Movethe meattoanotherpartofthegrill, ifpossible.Youcancook
on one side and move food, as necessary, to the unlighted side.
3. Trim of excess fat before cooking.
4. To avoid flare-ups fatty meats should be cooked on the medium
setting.
5. Cook with the lid assembly down. Cutting off the flow of air will
reduce the possibility of flare-ups.
6. If you need to immediately control an excessive flare-up, throw a
smallamountofbakingsodadirectlyontheplaques and lower heat
setting.
NOTE: Do not douse flare-ups with liquid as this can intensify
the flame and harm the grill plates.
Chip Tray
YourSuperbgasgrill includes abuilt-inchiptraywhichinstallsdirectly
into the front of grill. We believe that wood chips enhance the flavor of
everythingthat is grilled. To use the chiptray, placea handfulof soaked
wood chips in the tray, then ignite the burners to the left and right of the
tray. Turn the burners on "HI" for 10 minutes. Next reduce the flame to
"MEDIUM" or "LO" to keep the chips from burning too fast.
CAUTION: When adding more chips to the tray the handle
on tray may be Hot.
Top Burners
Your Superb gas grill is equipped with (5) grill burners, each rated at
12,000 BTUH and has (5) spark ignitors for easy lighting. Provided for
use with your side burner rated at 30,000 BTUH is a stainless steel lid
