Your BISTRO gas grill is designed for a multiple of cooking methods.
1. The MAIN BURNER allows for traditional barbecuing. This burner can achieve low to high temperatures for
searing and finishing steaks, hamburgers, pork chops and grilling chicken parts, sausages, or kebabs with more
moderate heat.
2. The ROTISSERIE BURNER gives a self-basted flavor like none other. Great for chickens, hams, pork or beef
roasts. Also the tube-type burner ensures quicker cooking times.
3. The SIDE BURNER sautés, boils liquids and warms all other foods. This high-performance burner will allow you
to deep fry seafood, vegetables and meats and hard boiling soups, lobsters or corn on the cob.
4. The GRIDDLE PAN gives more versatility. This item can pan fry eggs and bacon, potatoes or seafood. Or it can
grill any other food such as seafood steaks or pork chops.
5. The SMOKER TRAY: as an optional feature, this box will enhance the flavor of some foods with either wood or
herbs for that smoky flavor.

Some precautions should be taken to ensure proper preparation for health safety.
1. Preheat the gas grill for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Clean off any excess grease or food residue deposited on
the cooking surfaces.
2. Remove food from the refrigerator shortly before cooking
3. Always marinate meats in the refrigerator. Dispose of any excess marinade. NEVER REUSE THE MARINADE.
4. Use different plates to handle raw food and cooked food. Wash any plates and utensils that handle raw food
before using for cooked food.
5. Wash all vegetables, seafood and poultry before cooking.
6. Cook foods adequately. Undercooked food can retain a lot of bacteria, especially if it is thawed or exposed to
warm conditions prior to cooking.
7. Use a meat thermometer to check the interior temperature of the food, to ensure it has been thoroughly
cooked.
8. Keep all cooking surfaces clean of any food debris.

Here are few helpful hints to ensure that you grill your foods to perfection.
● Apply a light coating of cooking oil to grills and griddle plate before grilling to stop food from sticking to them.
● Cook similar size portions together as they will cook more evenly
● Use tongs to flip food over on the grill.
