provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices.

flare-ups.

Using Your Infrared Sear Burner
Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the
meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer
surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as
grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a
crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
Preheat the infrared sear burner for 5 minutes.
Ensure that meats are fully thawed and that all excess fat is
trimmed away prior to grilling.
Leave the burner set to HI when placing food on the grill to
sear.
Use the sear burner to sear meat 1 to 2 minutes on each side,
then move the meat to the main grill cooking surface to finish
grilling to the desired doneness.
OUTDOOR SEAR BURNER CARE
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the sear burner is cool. Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth
or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft,
lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
Do not use steel wool to clean the sear burner, as it will scratch
the surface.
To avoid weather damage to finish, use stainless steel sear
burner cover.
STAINLESS STEEL
IMPORTANT: Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive
cleaners, Cooktop Polishing Creme, steel wool, gritty wash
cloths or paper towels.
To avoid damage to the finish, cleaners should not contain
chlorine.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire sear burner is
cool. Spills may cause permanent discoloration.
NOTE: View is shown with grate removed. Grate is
to be in place when using the infrared sear burner.
