Food cooked for short periods oftime (fish, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, moreeven temperatures that can reduce cooking time and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cookingtime longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to thefood placement). When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can beoiled before pre-heating to reduce sticking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can createflare-ups. Either trim the fat or reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a flare-up occur, move foodaway from the flames and reduce the heat. Leave the lid open. See Your All Season Grill cookbook byNapoleon for more detailed instructions.Direct Cooking: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally usedfor searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking times such as hamburgers, steaks, chickenpieces, or vegetables. The food is first seared to trap-in the juices and flavor, and then the temperature islowered to finish cooking the food to your preference.Indirect Cooking: With one or more burners operating, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burnerthat is not operating. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with thismethod is much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats suchas roasts, chickens or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to flare-ups or forsmoking foods. Lower temperatures and slower cooking times result in tender foods.Cooking InstructionsInitial Lighting: When lit for the first time, the gas grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporarycondition caused by the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process anddoes not occur again. Simply run the main burners on high for approximately one-half hour.Flame Side Burner Use (if equipped): The side burner can be used like any stove top burner, for gravies,soups etc. For best performance, the gas grill should be located with the side burner protected from thewind. The recommended pan diameter is 10” (25 cm).WARNING! Never grill food directly on the side burner grate. It is designed for usewith pots and pans only.WARNING! Do not close the side burner lid while it is operating or hot.WARNING! Do not use side burner to deep fry foods as cooking with oil can create a dangeroussituation.Infrared Side Burner Use: The gas grill should be located so that the side burner is protected from thewind, because the wind will adversely affect its performance. The recommended pan diameter is 10” (25cm).WARNING! Do not close the side burner lid while it is operating or hot.WARNING! Do not adjust cooking grid while hot or operating.WARNING! Do not use side burner to deep fry foods as cooking with oil can create a dangeroussituation.1. Follow the infrared side burner lighting instructions and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lidopened or until the ceramic burners glow red.2. Place food on grills and cook according to times listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart.3.
