Infrared Burner Lighting Instructions
1. Always remove the cover before lighting.
2. Keep your head and body at least 1 foot away when
lighting the burner. Do not lean over an open burner.
3. Turn the burner on the “HIGH” position, and depress the
electronic igniter until the burner lights.
4. If the burner fails to light, turn control knob “OFF”, wait 5
minutes for gas to clear and try lighting again.
5. If the igniter doesn’t spark, check the gap between the
wire probe burner screen. It should be approximately
3/16 inches wide. If it is too small, the spark may be inef-
ficient. Gently readjust the wire probe as needed. If the
gap is normal, check the wire connections at the spark
module and igniter probes, located underneath the con-
trol panel.
6. If the igniter still doesn’t work, try replacing the battery.
Remove the collar around the igniter button by turning it
counter-clockwise. Replace the AAA battery, “+” side
down. Fig. 5
7. In the unlikely event these previous measures don’t
work, you can light the burner manually. Turn the burner
control knob to “OFF”. Remove the cooking grid from
above the burner and ignite a match. Place the match
directly on the burner screen, remove your hand from
above the burner and turn the burner control knob on
“HIGH”. Once the burner is lit, you can replace the cook-
ing grid.

Infrared Care and Maintenance
1. After each use, remove the cover and light the burner on
“HIGH” and burner for 5 minutes. This will burn off any food
drippings and enhance the burner performance and increase
the burner longevity.
2. Never use water or liquid chemicals to clean the ceramic burn-
er. Burner may be damaged. Burner failure caused by im-
proper care and maintenance is not covered under war-
ranty.
3. If the burner develops ash over the surface, clean if gently with
a vacuum cleaner. Use a brush attachment so as not to dam-
age the burner.
4. If the burner should get wet, it is important to dry it out com-
pletely before attempting to use the burner. IMPORTANT:
Replace Cover When Burner Is Not In Use.
5. Never let anything heavy, hard or sharp fall onto the burner.
The ceramic is very fragile and can easily be damaged.

Infrared Cooking Tips.
1. Infrared burners get very hot. Do not leave food unattended on the grill for any length of time.
2. Estimate cooking times to be 30% to 50% less than a conventional grill.
3. Always thaw food thoroughly before cooking to achieve better, more predictable results.
4. Always use long handled grill tools for grilling. A grilling mitt may be useful for handling hot items.
5. The use of a fork is not recommended for grilling on your new SearMagic Infrared Zone. A fork may mar the surface of the cooking
grid. Piercing foods while cooking will allow the juices to escape, causing the finished product to be drier than may be desired.
6. To minimize flare-up, trim fat from meats or remove skin from poultry.
7. If a flare-up occurs, don’t try to control it with water. Water can cause burner damage. Instead, move the food to another part of
the cooking grid, lower the heat setting or remove the food. Burner Failure Caused By Water Damage Is Not Covered Under
Warranty.
8. Allow the burner to heat up for 5 minutes on “HIGH” before cooking.
9. Place the food on the SearMagic cooking grid while the grill is on “HIGH” to sear the food thoroughly. Searing is the key to locking
in the juices for that delicious grilled flavor.
10. After searing for 2-3 minutes per side, lower the temperature to finish cooking the food as desired.
11. The SearMagic cooking grid allow for greater versatility when grilling. Chicken breasts, steaks, pork chops or hamburgers can be
seared over the ribbed side at a higher temperature. Delicate foods like seafood and vegetables can cooked over a lower temper-
ature with the smooth side up.
12. To clean the SearMagic Infrared Zone after cooking, burn at “HIGH” for at least 5 minutes. With the grill still on “HIGH”, clean the
cooking grid with a long-handled brass bristle brush. Regular cleaning will ensure optimum performance of you SearMagic Infrared
