INFRAREDGRILLING:
Important:Donotplacefoodoveraburnerthatisnot
operating.Greaseanddrippingswillclogtheburnerports
iftheburnerisnoton.
Grillingoverinfraredburnersisaprocessthatsealsjuicesin
foods.Thisisaccomplishedbysearingthemeatforashort
periodoftimeandnotlettingthejuicesescape.
Theinfraredheatgeneratedbythe“InfraredElite”allows
themeattobeevenlycookedthroughout.Theintense
temperatureoftheburnersurfacewillvaporizedrippingsand
produceaavorfulsmokeabsorbedbyyourfood.
Caution:The“InfraredElite”grillcanbeoperatedatthehighsetting
withthehoodclosedduringnormalcookingduration,butwhencooking
iscompletedgrillmustbeturnedoff.
Cookingwiththe“InfraredElite”
1. Besurethedrippanisinplaceandpushedalltheway
 tothebackofthegrill.Note:Drippancanbelined
 withaluminumfoilforeaseofcleaning,butbesurenotto

 turnedto“high”positionfor5to10minutes.
4. Placethefoodonthegrillandcook2-3minutesfor
initial sear.
5. Turnthefoodandrepeatstep4.
6. Setburnercontrolknobtodesiredcookingleveland
 continuecookinguntilthemeatiscookedtoyour
 satisfactionturningasnecessary.
7. Turnallknobsto“OFF”andshutoffgassupplywhenyou

COOKINGHINTS
1. Whenhandlingmeat,useaspatulaortongs,insteadof
 afork.Whenmeatispiercedthenaturaljuiceswill
 leakout.
2. Uponinitialuse,startoffwithhamburgersorhotdogs
 tobecomefamiliarwithinfraredcooking.
3. Reduceexcessiveare-upsby:
 A.Trimexcessfat.
 B.Pre-heatonhighatleast5-10minutes.
 C.Re-positionmeattowardsrearofgrillingareaoron
 warmingrackuntilare-upgoesdown.
 D.Keepcookinggridscleanaftereachuse.
* The above guide will aid you in achieving excellent
cooking results. The more you use your grill, the better
you and the results will become. Keep in mind several
factors such as outdoor temperature conditions; wind,
humidity, altitude, size, quality and thickness of meat
can inuence results.

Propermaintenanceandcleaningwillextendthelifeofyour
grill.Regularcleaningwillreduceaccumulationsofdebris,
greaseandfats.Infraredburnersincineratemostdrippings
andfoodparticles,butoccasionallysomeparticlesmay
remain.Forremovaloftheseparticlesturnbothburnerson
highwiththehooddownfor5-10minutes.
CLEANING

whilegridsarestillhotaftereachuse.
StainlessSteelExteriorHousing:
Your“InfraredElite”ismadewiththehighestquality304
stainless steel available. Stainless steel requires very little
maintenance,howeveragoodgradeofstainlesssteelcleaner
shouldbeusedforexteriorcleaning.
PowderCoatedSurfaces:
Powdercoatedsurfacescanbecleanedwithwarmsoapy
waterandrinsedwithcleanwater.
MAINTENANCE
Anoccasionalinspectionofventuriinletsandorice
openingsisrecommended.
Infraredburnermaintenancecanbemaintainedbyoperating
thegrillonhighfor5-10minutesaftereachuse.Anyexcess
accumulationofdebrisonburnersurfacecanberemoved
easily.Removecookinggridsandburnerscreensandvacuum
burnersurfaceeveryfewmonthsorasneeded.
