BURNER MANUALLY. PLACE A MATCH IN THE
ALLIGATOR CLIP AT THE END OF THE MATCH
HOLDER. LIGHT THE MATCH, THEN PLACE THE
LIT MATCH NEAR THE BURNER TO
BE LIT AS
DESCRIBED.
Procedure:
1. Open the grill hood and insure the Burner Control
Knob is in the "OFF" position and that there is
nothing on top
of the Cooking Grid.
2. For LP gas, open the Gas Tank Valve by turning the
hand wheel counter-clockwise. For Natural Gas,
open the Gas Valve in the main line.
3. Remove the match holder from the drip tray (See
Figure 11 Match Lighting).
4. Insert a match into the alligator clip at the end of the
match holder.

5. Place the flame of the lighted match in the space
between the glass panel and the interior trim on the
left side
of the grill. The match flame should be
below the level
of the glass panel. (See Figure 11,
page 11).
6. Turn the Burner Control Knob to HIGH for burner
ignition.
7. Operate and adjust the burner as described on Page 9
under Burner Ignition with Spark Igniter System.
8. To extinguish the flame, depress and rotate the
Burner Control Knob to OFF.

Low Heat Adjustment
The burner's low heat output is preset at the factory. To
adjust this setting, follow the instructions below.
WARNING: NEVER ADJUST A BURNER SO LOW
THAT IT MAY GO OUT DURING USE. DO NOT
OPERATE GRILL IF THE LOW HEAT
ADJUSTMENT SCREW
IS NOT IN PLACE. (See
Figure 13, page 11)
The Low Heat Adjustment Screw only applies
to the
bumer operation at the LOW setting. Any efforts to
make adjustments at another setting will go unnoticed
until the bumer
is tumed to LOW where it may
involuntarily extinguish while gas
is still flowing. This
condition
is unsafe; therefore, adjustments should only
be made with the Bumer Control Knob positioned at the
LOW setting while keeping a close eye on changes.
Please note that this procedure is best performed at
night or low light to maximize visibility of the burner
flame.
Procedure for Low Heat Adjustment:
1. Follow the Burner Ignition Procedures and operate
the grill on HIGH for 1 minute.
2. Tum the Bumer Control Knob to the LOW position
and wait one minute to permit the temperature to
stabilize.
3. Remove the Burner Control Knob from the valve
stem (See Figure 13).
4. Insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the Valve
Stem.
5. Turn the Low Heat Adjustment Screw clockwise to
reduce the heat intensity or counter-clockwise to
increase the heat intensity. At its optimal low heat
adjustment, the burner input will be justhigh enough
to produce a small blue flame. The Burner Flame
can be observed while making the low heat
adjustment by looking through the Flame
Observation Viewpoint on the left side
of the grill
just above the Burner Control Knob (See Figure 13).

Infrared Cooking
100°/o Infrared Grilling
TEC's original ceramic infrared technology, introduced
in the 1980's, was a great improvement over
conventional grilling. Conventional grills use convective
burners that cook with hot air that dries out food. But
TEC's ceramic burners cooked with 50% infrared heat
(and 50% hot air) so food retained more of its natural
juices. This is because everything in nature, including
food, has a moisture boundary that surrounds it, and
infrared energy can penetrate food and cook it without
disturbing this moisture boundary. Hot air cannot do
this, and once it disturbs the moisture boundary, the food
begins to dry out as it cooks. All other infrared grilling
systems today use
TEC's original ceramic technology
that cooks with 50% hot air, but
TEC's new FR Series
grills employ a patented 100% infrared cooking system
that cooks food without using any
hot air so food retains
the maximum amount
of moisture. As a result, moisture
loss and food shrinkage are reduced by up to
30%- even
well done meats remain tender and
juicy .
Enhanced Charbroil Taste
An important part ofTEC's new, patented infrared
technology is the radiant glass panels located between
the burner and the cooking grids. These panels, like the
glass designed for residential stovetops, are developed to
withstand high temperatures. Although they keep the
burners clean
by protecting them from the debris and
drippings associated with grilling, their major function is
to produce an outdoor grilled flavor. The radiant glass
works much like charcoal. When drippings from food
touch the surface
ofthe heated glass, they are
incinerated, producing a smoky vapor that infuses food
with a charbroil taste. Expensive marinades can be
poured
on food while grilling without wasting them
because any excess that drips on the glass sizzles into
steam that becomes part of the smoky vapor.
No Hot or Cold Spots
All other grills sold today distribute heat unevenly,
producing
hot or cold spots at the cooking surface. But
TEC's new all stainless burners have specially
configured apertures that direct heat evenly across the
cooking grids. As a result, every square inch
of cooking
surface
of a TEC grill is available for grilling. Try
covering the entire cooking grid area with steaks or
12
hamburgers, and you will find that each piece will cook
exactly the same in the same amount
oftime.
Virtually Flare Proof
TEC's new grills are virtually flare proof. The radiant
glass panels are located
just above the burner flame, and
the cooking grids rest directly on top
of the glass panels.
This close positioning eliminates the oxygen required for
flare-ups. Normal amounts
of grease that are produced
from grilling the fatty parts
of meat, as well as oils from
marinades, do not cause flare-ups when they are
incinerated by the radiant glass panels because there is
no oxygen to ignite a flame.
Please refer to the Sample Cooking Methods Chart on
page 14. This chart provides useful general guidelines for
cooking times and settings. Actual cooking times may be
affected by variations in altitude, and ambient
temperatures at the time
of cooking, the fat content,
thickness and temperature
of the food or other factors.
Use this chart to develop your own cooking approaches.
Smoking Method
The grill can be used very effectively as a smoker. We
recommend using wood pellets rather than wood chips
because the pellets are small enough to fit between the
channels
of the cooking grids. Use the following
procedures.
1. Soak wood pellets in water for 5-10 minutes prior to
use.
2. Follow the Burner Ignition Procedures for slow
cooking in Step 5 on page
9. Then, tum the Burner
Control Knobs to
LOW or slightly above LOW.
3. Add wood pellets by placing them between the
channels
of the Cooking Grid onto the Radiant Glass
Panel. For best results, close the hood.
4. To clean the grill after smoking turn it off and allow
to cool. Remove the Cooking Grid and scrap the
remaining ashes from the Radiant Glass Panel
toward the back of the grill and in to the drip tray.
Then, wipe the Radiant Glass Panel with a damp
paper towel or cloth and empty the drip tray
of any
residue.
Helpful Hints in Cooking
1. Use the proper tools. Use long handled tongs,
spatulas, oven mitts or a hot pad for handling hot
items. When turning or moving foods, use tongs or a
spatula instead
of a fork. Piercing the food with a
fork lets the natural juices and flavor escape.

2. lNFRARED GRILLING IS UNLIKE OTHER
OUTDOORCOOKING METHODS. Start slowly,
it
may take you time to get used to the fast high fire
cooking process. As a benchmark, foods which
generally cook in 20 minutes or less on conventional
grills cook in aboutone-halfto two-thirds the
conventional time on a TEC Infi"ared grill. Please
refer to the chart entitled SAMPLE COOKING
METHODS on page
14.
3. USE A COOKJNG THERMOMETER to check the
temperature of your food. This will assure that you
do not overeook Lhe food. Follow the directions on
your thermometer to assure proper temperature
readings. Remember, infrared cooking is faster than
mostconventional grilling methods, and it may take
a few cooking sessions to perfect your grilling
technique.

Maintenance and
Cleaning
General Overview
Proper care, maintenance and cleaning will help insure
long life
of your grill. Always allow the grill to cool
before cleaning. Interior trim
is removable for cleaning
(see figure 15, page 14)
as well as the drip tray and
cooking grids. The outer structure
of the grill can be
cleaned with a damp or dry cloth or
by using a cleaner
designed for stainless steel. For the care, maintenance
and cleaning
of the radiant glass panel, follow the
instructions in Appendix B. During the bum-offprocess
that cleans the glass panel, debris on the cooking grids
will also be incinerated. After the grill cools, damp
paper towels or a cloth can be used to wipe away the ash
from the top
of the grid channels. The cooking grids can
also be removed and cleaned with a brass or stainless
steel brush. The battery in the grill ignition system must
be replaced periodically (see figure
14, page 14 ).
Spark Module Battery Replacement
The Push Button Spark Igniter contains an "AAA"
battery which requires periodic replacement. This is
evidenced by a decline in the spark frequency and
intensity. Follow these procedures to replace the battery.
1. Tum the silver-colored ribbed collar surrounding the
push button, counter-clockwise one-half
tum and
pull out to remove. (See Figure
13, Page 14)
2. Remove old battery and replace. Insert the positive
(+) end of the battery in the Spark Module first.
3. Replace push button assembly, pushing in and
turning clockwise to tighten.

of the cooking grids located above the glass. The
perimeter area beyond the glass
is designed to expel the
exhaust gases from the combustion process and should
not be covered by food.

Appendix B: Radiant Glass Care
ABOUT THE RADIANT GLASS
PANEL
TEC® grills are easy to clean, primarily because the
radiant glass panels, located below the cooking
grids, vaporize food drippings during grilling,
creating a light residue
of ash that settles on the
glass panels. These glass panels are both durable
and fragile. Designed to tolerate temperatures
of up
to 1200° F without breaking, they are nevertheless
susceptible
to impact breakage and chipping may
compromise the integrity of the glass under heat.
Also, an accumulation
of debris on the glass panels
acts as
on insulator and may cause the panels to
break during grilling
if they reach temperatures
beyond their specified tolerance.
HOW TO AVOID BREAKING THE
RADIANT GLASS PANELS
The most common causes of breakage ofthe
Radiant Glass panel are:
• IMPACT WITH AN OBJECT -Because of
the sensitive nature of glass, special care should
be taken
to avoid harsh impact or blunt force to
the radiant panels.
• CHIPPING DURING CLEANING -The
beveled edges
of the radiant panels are easily
chipped when removed from the grill. This
most often happens during cleaning. The
chipping
of the radiant panels compromises the
strength
of the glass under heat and is likely to
cause it to break during grilling. WE
STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO
NOT REMOVE THE RADIANT GLASS
PANEL FROM THE GRILL.
• BUILD-UP OF RESIDUE - The accumulation
of residue on the radiant panels acts as an
insulator and may cause the panels to overheat
and break
if they reach temperatures beyond
their specified tolerance.
REMOVAL OF THIS RESIDUE REGULARLY IS
THEREFORE IMPERATIVE.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BURN-OFF- Residue that accumulates on the
radiant panels is easily
removed by simple burn-off.
This is accomplished
by operating the grill on high
18
fire for 5 minutes after cooking with the
hood
closed. This can be done without removing the
cooking grids as they will also benefit from the
bum-off procedure. The most important way to
maintain the performance
of your grill is to do this
regularly.
SCRAPING- The small amount of ash remaining
after
bum-off can be removed when the glass is cool
with a spatula. Simply remove the cooking grids
and scrape the charred residue to the
back of the
grill where it will fall through an opening to the drip
tray below. Then wipe
off any remaining dust
particles with a damp
paper towel. No other
cleaning
of the glass panels is necessary to ensure
proper function. However,
to improve the cosmetic
appearance, additional cleaning may be done
following the instructions
under Cleaning.
CLEANING
ALWAYS ALLOW THE GRILL TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING. The cosmetic appearance
of the glass may be improved through additional
cleaning
with ceramic cleaning creams. The
following are the cleaning creams approved by the
glass manufacturer:
• ELCO/W eimann Cooktop Cleaning Creme
• Golden Ventures Cerama Bryte
• Hope's Cooktop Cleaning Cream
• Whirlpool Cooktop Cleaner
WARNING:
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE
SPONGES OR SCOURING PADS OF ANY
TYPE. Do not use corrosive cleaners such as oven
sprays, stain removers,
or cleaners containing
chlorine
or ammonia.
Prior to using an approved cream, scrape off any
charred residue and wipe glass with a damp paper
towel as described
under Care and Maintenance.
With a cool surface, apply a few dabs (the size
of a
dime)
of an approved cleaner and work the cleaner
over the glass with a damp
paper towel as if your
were cleaning a window. Wipe the glass with a
clean, damp
paper towel, then wipe dry.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
PROCEDURES WILL INVALIDATE YOUR
WARRANTY.
