OPERATION  
COOKING TECHNIQUES  
First Time Use: Before cooking on your gas grill for the first  
time, burn it off to rid it of any odors or foreign matter in the  
following manner:  
DIRECT GRILLING  
The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on grids  
directly over a lit burner. Direct grilling is the most popular  
method for most single serving items such as steaks, chops,  
fish, burgers, kebabs and vegetables.  
1. With cooking grids installed in position, light the gas grill  
following lighting instructions (see Page 6) and operate  
the gas grill on “HIGH” for 10-15 minutes. Next, turn gas  
source off then turn all control knobs to the “OFF” position.  
1. Prepare food in advance to avoid delay and timing  
problems. If using marinade or spices, they should be  
applied before placing meat on the cooking grid. If basting  
with sauces, they should be applied in the last 2-4 minutes  
of grilling to avoid burning.  
2. When gas grill is cool, thoroughly season cooking grids by  
spraying or wiping olive or vegetable oil on them. Ensure  
that the entire surface is generously coated including  
the corners. For cast iron cooking grids, light seasoning  
should be done before every usage.  
2. Organize the area around the gas grill to include forks,  
tongs, oven mitts, sauces and seasonings to allow you to  
stay in the vicinity of the gas grill while cooking.  
3. You are ready to grill. Proceed to “Preheating.”  
Preheating: Preheat the gas grill on MEDIUM/HIGH with the  
lid closed for ten minutes. Reduce heat as appropriate for what  
you are grilling. Firmly but carefully scrub grids with a wire grill  
brush. Next, brush or spray the grids with vegetable or olive oil  
to prevent food from sticking.  
3. Bring meat to room temperature just prior to grilling. Trim  
excess fat from meat to minimize the “flare-ups” that are  
caused by dripping grease.  
4. Pre-heat the gas grill to the desired temperature with the  
lid closed.  
Lid Position: The position of the lid during cooking is a matter  
of personal preference, but the gas grill cooks faster, uses less  
fuel, and controls the temperature best with the lid closed. A  
closed lid also imparts a smokier flavor to meat cooked directly  
on the grid, and is essential for smoking and convection  
cooking.  
5. Coat the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food  
from sticking to the grids.  
6. Hold the salt when cooking meats on the gas grill. The  
meat will stay juicier if the salt is added after cooking.  
7. To prevent steaks from “drying out,” use tongs rather than  
a fork and start on “MEDIUM/HIGH” to sear the meat and  
seal juices in. Reduce the heat and extend cooking times  
when grilling thicker cuts of meat.  
Vaporization Systems: Your gas grill is designed for use with  
the included Flav-R-Wave™ vaporization system. Do not use  
lava rock, ceramic briquettes or any other vaporization system  
other than the one that came with the gas grill.  
8. Learn to test when the meat is done by time and feel. Meat  
firms up as it cooks. When the meat is soft it is rare. When  
it is firm, it is well done.  
COOKING TEMPERATURES  
High Setting: Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of  
approximately 600 - 650°F (320 - 340° C). Use this setting only  
for fast warm-up or for burning food residue from the cooking  
grids after cooking. This setting is also ideal for quickly searing  
steaks before reducing the temperature. Rarely, if ever, do you  
use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.  
9. Follow the perfect steak grilling guide for most meat, fish,  
poultry and vegetables.  
THE PERFECT STEAK GRILLING GUIDE  
Place steak on angle  
on hot grids.  
Flip the steak as  
shown below.  
Turn and flip the  
steak again.  
Finally, flip the  
steak again.  
Medium/High: Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of  
approximately 550°F (290 ° C). Use this setting for warm-up  
and for grilling steaks and chops.  
Medium: Produces temperatures inside the gas grill of  
approximately 450° F (230°C) with the lid down. Use this  
setting for most grilling of chicken, burgers and vegetables as  
well as for roasting and baking.

(pg.7)  
1. The rotisserie can accommodate up to 7 kg (15lb) of meat  
with the limiting factor of rotating clearance. For best  
results the meat should be centered on the center line of  
spit to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.  
INDIRECT CONVECTION COOKING  
This method is ideal for cooking large cuts of meat such as  
roasts or poultry. The food is cooked by hot air circulating  
around it.  
2. The rotisserie can be used with the cooking grids in place  
if space allows.  
1. For most applications of convection cooking with and  
without a rotisserie, a drip pan is recommended to catch  
the drippings. Place drip pan on top of the Flav-R-Wave,  
beneath center of food. Put half to one inch of water in the  
drip pan. Fruit juice, wine or marinade may also be added to  
enhance the flavor. Do not let the drip pan run dry.  
3. Fasten the meat securely on the spit prior to placing it on  
the gas grill. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in tightly.  
REAR BURNER ROTISSERIE  
2. Convection cooking without a rotisserie is best with the lid  
closed and the heat reduced. All burners can be set to low  
or the outside burners can be set to medium and the middle  
burner(s) can be turned off. Turning the center burner off will  
prevent juices in the drip pan from burning.  
Rear  
Burner  
3. Prior to placing the meat on the gas grill, baste the meat with  
vegetable oil. This will enhance browning on the outside of  
the meat.  
4. When cooking without a drip pan, close attention must be  
paidtoavoidtheriskofagreasefireandisnotrecommended.  
5. Turn gas grill off and allow it to cool before removing drip  
pan. The fat drippings are highly flammable and must be  
handled carefully to avoid injury.  
1. Certain models feature a rear burner for rotisserie cooking.  
The rear burner rotisserie method is the ultimate for  
cooking roasts and poultry. With the heat source located  
behind the food, there is no chance of a flare up caused  
by fat drippings. A dish or drip pan placed below the spit  
will collect the juices for basting or for preparing a sauce.  
6. For convection cooking roasts and poultry without a  
rotisserie, put meat in a roasting rack directly on grids.

COOKING TECHNIQUES  
USING A SPIT – LEG OF LAMB  
Spit  
Balance  
1. Have 3” of bone sawed from small end of leg.  
2. Leave meat around bone intact to form a flap.  
3. Put a spit fork on rod.  
4. Fold flap up and run rod through flap and leg.  
SPIT BALANCE  
1. Loosen the rod handle to allow the balance to turn freely.  
5. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in each end of leg.  
Test for balance. Tighten screws.  
2. Set the rotisserie rod in the slots of the gas grill casting.  
Let the heaviest side of the meat rotate to the bottom.  
USING A SPIT – POULTRY  
3. Adjust the balance to the top of the rod, opposite the  
heaviest side of the meat.  
4. Tighten the rod handle. Periodically, check to see if the  
meat turns smoothly while cooking. Adjust the balancer  
as necessary. Caution: Use oven mitt when adjusting  
balancer.  
HOW TO USE A PROBE THERMOMETER  
1. The accurate way to determine when a large piece of  
meat is done is to use a probe thermometer. Insert the  
thermometer at an angle so the sturdy pointed metal tip  
rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Be  
careful that it doesn’t touch the spit or the bone, and  
that the point is not resting in fat (you will notice much  
less resistance when probing in fat).  
1. With breast down, bring neck skin up over cavity.  
2. Turn under edges of skin; skewer to back skin.  
3. Loop twine around skewer and tie.  
4. Turn breast side up; tie or skewer wings to body.  
5. Put a spit fork on rod. Insert rod in neck skin parallel to  
backbone and exit just above tail.  
6. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in breast and tail.  
Test for balance. Tighten screws.  
7. Tie tail to rod with twine. Cross legs; tie to tail.  
THREE CHICKENS ON A SPIT  
2. When the thermometer displays the desired temperature  
the meat is done. Add your sauces during the last few  
minutes of cooking time and let the meat stand about 15  
minutes to firm up. Carve and serve.  
1. Tie or skewer wings to body.  
2. Put a spit fork on rod. Place chickens on rod as  
demonstrated in the above diagram.  
• Poultry: insert the tip of the thermometer in the thickest part  
of the thigh close to the body.  
3. Loop twine around tails and legs; tie to rod.  
4. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in chicken. Tighten  
screws.  
• Ham or roasts: insert the tip of the thermometer in the center  
of the heaviest section of the meat.

Cast iron grids should be seasoned before every use by wiping  
or spraying them with vegetable or olive oil. Ensure that the  
whole surface of the grid is covered by a light layer of oil. This  
helps prevent rusting and deterioration. If rusting does occur,  
scrape it off gently with a scrub pad and season thoroughly.  
During longer periods of inactivity, grids should be seasoned,  
wiped dry then stored in a dry place. Before first usage and  
after periods of storage, grids should be washed (see “Cooking  
Grids” to right), dried with paper towel then wiped down  
thoroughly with vegetable shortening or olive/vegetable oil.  
for touch-up. Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may  
appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect short  
term performance of your grill.  
STAINLESS STEEL  
Wash with soap and water. Use stainless steel cleaner to  
polish and remove stains or marks. Weathering and extreme  
heat can cause a stainless steel lid to turn a tan color. This  
is discoloration and is not considered a manufacturing defect.  
RESIN COMPONENTS AND SIDE SHELVES  
Wash with soap and water.  
REPLACEMENT PARTS  
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control  
valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer, approved  
service center, or contact the factory for repairs or replacement  
parts. To ensure optimum performance, use only original OMC  
replacement parts.  
LEAK TEST  
FLAV-R-WAVE  
When reconnecting a gas cylinder on propane models, be sure  
to check for leaks. See “Leak Testing.” (page 5)  
If residue accumulates on the Flav-R-Wave, remove the  
cooking grids and scrape the residue off the Flav-R-Wave with  
a grill brush.  
COOKING GRIDS  
GREASE TRAY  
To wash stainless or cast iron grids, use a light detergent  
and water and then rinse and dry with paper towel; never air  
dry grids or use a dishwasher. For cast iron grids, thoroughly  
season (see left: “Cast Iron Cooking Grids”) after washing.  
The grease tray is located directly under the drainage hole on  
the bottom of the gas grill. It is accessible from the side or rear  
of the appliance and should be cleaned or replaced regularly  
to avoid grease overflowing onto your patio.  
GENERAL CLEANING  
Perform a Burn-Off (see below). When gas grill is cool, remove  
grids, scrape the Flav-R-Wave clean then remove it. Clean the  
interior of the gas grill as necessary by scraping the sides and  
bottom of the cookbox and vacuuming.  
BURN-OFF  
Ignite the burners as per “Lighting” (page 6). Operate gas grill  
on HIGH with lid closed for 10 min. or until smoking stops. Turn  
the gas source off then turn control knobs to OFF.
