Nexgrill Stainless Steel 720-0050-LP - Manual (Page 16)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General use of the grill and rotisserie
Each main burner is rated at 12,000 BTU/hr. The main
grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and
are side ported to minimize blockage from falling
grease and debris. Above the burners are stainless
steel radiant (flame tamers). The igniter knobs are
located on the lower center portion of the valve panel.
Each rotary igniter is labeled on the control panel.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat
setting for the entire cooking time. However, when
grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be
necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the
initial browning. This cooks the food through without
burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or
foods basted with a sugary marinade may need a
lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
TO BEGIN:
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is
properly located.
2. Remove any remaining packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions.
4. Turn the control knob(s) to “HI” and preheat the
grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed
during the appliance preheat period.
5. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired
doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The
control knob may be set to any position between
“HI” and “LO”.
NOTE: The grill is designed to grill efficiently without
the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is
radiated by the stainless steel flame tamers positioned
above each burner.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the
juices. The longer the preheat, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
USING ROTISSERIE BURNER:
Your grill is capable of performing back burner
rotisserie cooking. Light the rear burner as described
in the lighting instructions, once lit, the rotisserie
burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1
minute.
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 12lb.
cut of meat or poultry. The motor slides onto the
stainless steel motor mount. The rotisserie motor must
be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
motor, and then sliding the grooved bushing into the
slot at the opposite side of the grill. The thumbscrew
for the grooved bushing should be inside the grill
body. To load the skewer, begin with the bushing
screwed on the skewer rod at the opposite end from
the point. Slide the counter balance apparatus and
tighten on the skewer rod approximately 2-4” from
the bushing. Slide the first meat fork onto the skewer
rod prongs toward the food. Center the product to be
cooked on the skewer then push the meat forks
firmly together. Tighten the wing nuts as tight as
possible.
It may also be necessary to wrap the food with
butchers string (never use nylon or plastic string) to
secure any loose portions. Once the food is secure
insert the skewer into the motor. It is normal for the
skewer to flex when larger cuts of meat are being
cooked. It may also be necessary to remove the
cooking grids for larger cuts of meat. If the meat
scrapes on the cooking grids during any part of the
rotation, the grids must be removed. Adjust the
counter balance weight to balance the heavier side
of the meat and avoid lopsided rotation of the
rotisserie motor.
After your first use of the rotisserie burner it is likely
that the stainless steel adjacent to the burner will
darken to a dark blue color. This is a normal property
of the non-rusting, type 304 stainless steel used on
the grill.
