GRILL COOKING
1) Follow the instructions on page 15 / 16 to light your LP gas grill.
2) Check your flame. Your burner has been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame
performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal
air and LP gas mixture. (FIG 17)
The flame should be checked before the initial cooking session and periodically
throughout the grilling season, especially after storing the grill over a long period of time.
If the flame is significantly yellow in color, then you are not getting the appropriate amount
of LP gas in the air /LP gas mixture. You should follow the BURNER MAINTENANCE
section of this manual for cleaning the burners.
Note: If the flame is accidentally extinguished, repeat the procedure above for lighting the
grill. (See also TROUBLESHOOTING)
3) To preheat: With the grill lid open, preheat on high for about 8 minutes. During the first
use, you may notice a slight odor caused by the curing oil used in manufacture.
Important: Do not close the grill lid while in use.
4) Carefully place food on the cooking surface. Cook to desired doneness, turning food
halfway through the cooking time for most foods. Adjust flame as needed with the
regulator knob.
5) When food is cooked, remove food with long-handled heat resistant, nylon or wooden
utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or
knives as these can damage the cooking surface.
CAUTION: Do not leave any utensils on the cooking plate surface while
it is hot.
CAUTION: Never touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves, long-handled
tongs, or cooking mitts at all times.
GRILLING TIPS
• Do not overfill the appliance.
• When first cooking a particular food, check for doneness using a meat thermometer
several minutes before suggested time; if necessary, adjust the cooking time.
• If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.
• Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
• For added flavor, add dry seasonings or marinate before grilling. Brush meats with
sauces at the end of cooking.

ON THE GRIDDLE:
The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of
food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the center
of the food or meat thermometer to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grilling
plate.) If the food needs longer cooking, check periodically to avoid overcooking the food.
