gas barbecue is an energy-efficient appliance. It operates at an economical
low BTU rate. Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your gas grill
according to the instructions in this Owner’s Guide. To preheat: after lighting, turn all
burners to START/HI, close the lid, and heat until the temperature reaches between

take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.
Note: For the first few uses of your grill, the temperature inside the cookbox may be
hotter than shown in your cookbook because the surfaces of the cookbox are still
reflective. Cooking conditions, such as wind and weather, may require the adjustment of
burner controls to obtain the correct cooking temperatures.

The most important thing to know about grilling is which cooking method to use for a
specific food, direct or indirect. The difference is simple. With the direct method, which
is similar to broiling, the food is cooked directly over the fire. With the indirect method,
fire is arranged on either side of the food. The indirect method is similar to roasting, but
with the added benefits of that grilled texture, flavor, and appearance you can't get from

steaks, set both burners to HI, then to complete cooking, set both burners to LOW. For
more ideas, refer to the recipes in the grilling guide included with this barbecue.

A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the
cooking grate. Always brush or spray oil onto your food, not directly onto the cooking
grate.
We suggest that you barbecue with the lid down. Why? Because it reduces the chance
of flare-ups, and cooks your food faster and more evenly.
When using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar content, or other ingredients
that burn easily, only brush it onto the food during the last ten to fifteen minutes of
barbecuing.
Don’t forget to regularly brush off your cooking grate and clean out the drip pan under
the barbecue.
