READ THIS CARE AND USE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE USING YOUR

GRILL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR OTHER INJURY. KEEP THIS MANU-

AL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

When properly cared for, your ™ Gourmet Grill will give safe, reliable service for many years.

However, extreme care must be used since the grill produces intense heat, which can increase accident

potential. When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, including but not limited to

the following:

 Begin by ensuring proper assembly. A qualified technician should perform all other service.

 Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual.

 All other service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.

 For personal safety, wear proper apparel while barbecuing.

 Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance.

 Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

 Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate,

burner or hot surface until it has cooled down sufficiently. Fabrics may ignite and result in personal injury.

 Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause personal burns from steam. Do

not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill rack.

 Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill

use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat

settings and according to their manufacturer’s directions.

 Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.

 Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill by cleaning the grease tray often. Never while

grill is on or hot from recent use; pan will not come out.

 Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks, nor to line the drip tray. This can severely upset combustion

airflow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs, igniters and in-

creased chance of personal injury. Never grill without the drip pan in place and pushed all the way to the back

of the grill. Without the drip pan, hot grease can leak downward creating a fire or explosion hazard.

 Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to

sit, stand or play on or around the grill. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or in

the cart. Never allow children to crawl inside of the cart.

 Do not heat unopened food containers that may cause the container to build-up pressure and burst.

 Protect your hand when opening a hot grill lid. Never lean over an open hot grill.

 When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are depressing the

correct igniter button labeled for the burner you intend on using.

 When using the grill: do not touch the grill rack, burner grate, hood or immediate surrounding area as these

areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only the handles and knobs provided for operation of

the grill.

 For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodi-

cally for Optimum performance. The burners will only operate in one position and must mounted correctly for

safe operation.

 Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is

hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite when applied to a hot surface.

 INSECT WARNING: Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and other grills, and cause the gas to

flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur behind

the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill at least twice a

year.

 Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or

around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause

metal parts to corrode.

 Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surfaces. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do

not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or any enclosed areas.

 Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors

such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion gases and ventilation air-

ways.

 Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.

 If the unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. If propane is used, the cylinder must be unhooked and the

propane cylinder stored outside in a well-ventilated area, out of reach of children.

 Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area, oceanfront, mountaintop, etc... a

windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances.

 Keep any electrical supply cord, away from the heated areas of the grill.

nectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75 • CAS 6.27.

LEAK TESTING:

GENERAL:

Although all gas connections on your ™ Gourmet Grill are leak tested at the factory prior to

shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible

mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check

the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING:

 Do not smoke while leak testing.

 Never leak test with an open flame.

 Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.

 Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle, or brush.

 For LP units, always check with a full cylinder.

TO TEST:

 Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.

 Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.

 Turn the gas supply on.

 Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe

assembly.

 Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.

 If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas

supply back on, and recheck.

 If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your dealer where you purchased

your grill.

 Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP TANK CHANGE.

If a leak is present, or if the connection hose shows signs of wear, these conditions must be corrected

prior to using your grill. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear,or the hose is cut, it must be

replaced prior to the cooking appliance is being put into operation.

The replacement hose assembly is part number:

PROP-KIT-01 which consists of a 36” long hose assembly

with dual in-line regulator and a 3/8” ODF connector.

Contact

™ Grills for replacement.

Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water

near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:

BEFORE LIGHTING…

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. Never substitute

regulators for those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is necessary, contact the factory for proper

replacement.

Screw the regulator (Type QCC1) onto the LP tank. Leak check the hose and regulator connections with

a soap and water solution before operating as explained on the LEAK TESTING section of this manual.

BUTTON SYMBOLS AND LOCATIONS:

To ensure that an IR burner is lit, very carefully place your hand 8-10 inches away from the burner

surface. If you do not feel the heat of the burner, shut off the gas at the control knob, wait five minutes,

and then try again.

LIGHTING THE GRILL’S U-BURNER , SMOKER AND SEAR-ZONE™ BURNERS:

Turn all knobs to “OFF” and then turn on the gas supply.

Adjustable valves are labeled OFF MAX ► MIN. Non adjustable valves are labeled OFF ON.

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting!.

Lift the hood, depress the igniter button (see above symbol) and for the burner you are trying to light,

immediately push and turn the burner control knob 90° counter-clockwise to:

 “MAX” position (U-Burners and Smoker ) or

 “ON” position (Sear-Zone™).

Wait for the burner to light. Adjust the temperature by

turning the knob from MAX (high setting) to MIN (low

setting) by turning counter clock-wise.

NOTE: The first burner may take longer to light while air is

purged from the gas supply system. If the burner does not

light within 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF” and wait 5

minutes to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate before

trying again.

LIGHTING SIDE BURNERS (MODELS ALXE-56 & 56 SZ):

FRONT BURNER: Push and turn the side burner right hand control knob 90° counter-clockwise to the

“MAX” position and immediately depress the right hand igniter button. You’ll hear a snapping sound from

U-BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT:

Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local

gas supply, elevation and other factors might make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the

burners should be visually checked and compared with Figure 4.

If any of these conditions exist, check if dirt, debris, spider webs, etc., are blocking the air shutter or

burner ports. Proceed with air shutter adjustment.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT:

A sheet metal cap at the inlet of the burner called the “AIR SHUTTER” regulates the amount of air that

enters into the burner for combustion.

The air shutter is locked in place by a screw, which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for

adjustment. The air shutter adjustment screws are accessible with a screwdriver by removing the burner.

Loosen the screw of the air shutter. Reinstall the burner. Make certain that the burners are sitting

properly on the orifices taking care not to move or damage the igniter electrode.

Light the burners and adjust according to the following directions:

 Turn the valve on “HI”, light the burner and allow it to “WARM UP” for 10 minutes.

 If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to

allow more air to the burner. *Caution, see note below.

 If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, (WITH THE BRIQUETTE

TRAYS IN POSITION) indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise to reduce

the amount of air to the burner.

 Retighten the locking screw of the air shutter cap.

*NOTE: Be careful, as the burner may be or will become very hot after lighting it.

AIR SHUTTER APPERTURE IS FACTORY SET TO APPROXIMATELY 1/2”

FOR LP & 5/8” FOR NG - MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY DUE

TO FACTORS SUCH AS HIGH ALTITUDE LOCATIONS.

Figure # 5

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.

LOW HEAT SETTING ADJUSTMENT:

NOTE:

THE LOW HEAT SETTING ON YOUR GRILL IS PRESET AT THE FACTORY. ADJUST ONLY IF

ALTITUDE OR ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ARE CAUSING POOR, LOW HEAT, PERFORMANCE.

ADJUSTMENT STEPS:

1. Follow lighting instructions by setting the control

knob on “HI” and allow the burner to preheat for 10

minutes.

2. Turn the control knob to “LOW” and wait for the

burner temperature to drop and stabilize.

3. Attempting adjustment at any setting other than

LOW can create a dangerous condition.

4. Remove knob by pulling straight away from control

panel.

5. Insert a small blade screwdriver into the valve stem

to begin the adjustment. (see figure # 5)

6. Turn counter-clockwise to INCREASE the low heat

flame while using pliers to hold the stem securely.

7. Adjust the flames so the burner is fully lit around the perimeter when the knob is in the LOW

position. Once proper adjustment is reached, reattach the knob by pushing onto stem.

OPERATING THE GRILL:

U-BURNERS:

Each U-burner is rated at 27,500 BTU. (See figure # 6).

The grill burners encompass the entire cooking area

and are side ported to minimize blockage from falling

grease and debris.

Above the burners there are stainless steel briquette

trays with ceramic briquettes. The briquette tray is a

fundamental part for the performance of the grill. Do

not cook on the grill without them.

Make sure the briquette tray is installed properly

before lighting the burner. Each grill burner has its

own igniter.

The burners are locked in the proper position within

the barbeque unit by the inlet port where the valve

orifice stem is located, the shutter adjustment screw

notch and the rear mounting bracket at the back of

the grill cavity. (See figure # 6a)

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 method will cook the food

through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade

may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat period, the faster the

meat browns and the darker the sear marks. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired brown

level. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and

“LOW”. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.

SEAR-ZONE™ - IR BURNERS:

Each U-burner is rated at 27,500 BTU. (See figure # 7).

An IR grill works by producing 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. Just the

result you want with most grilled foods. Sear-Zone™ burners

are located in their proper position by the inlet port and the rear

bracket support of the burner area.

USING THE GRILL:

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. The intense infrared heat produced by your

™ Gourmet Grill meets these requirements perfectly. Meat is cooked evenly throughout,

while juices, grease and food particles are vaporized upon contact with the burner, giving added flavor

to your food.

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. Proper preheating browns the meat and pro-

duces darker sear marks. Place the food on the grill and sear both sides as recommended on the

“Infrared Grilling Tips” section on page 19. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.

ROTISSERIE BURNERS:

Your ™ Gourmet Grill is capable of per-

forming back burner rotisserie cooking. The location

of the rear burner allows the placement of the rotis-

serie basting pan (included) beneath the food to col-

lect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To

flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add

herbs, onion, garlic, or spices.

To assure that an IR burner is lit, very carefully place your hand 8-10 inches away from the burner sur-

face. If you do not feel the heat of the burner, shut off control knob, wait five minutes, and attempt to re-

light.

ROTISSERIE MOTOR:

The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 50 Lb. cut of meat or poultry, with a maximum diameter

of 12”. The rotisserie motor is an integral part of the grill, mounted on the rear bottom of the unit. The

motor drives a chain and sprocket system to a skewer coupler located your upper cooking area.

The rotisserie motor is electrically grounded by the grill electrical system and plug, therefore the grill

must installed in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electri-

cal Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.

SKEWER:

The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the skewer coupler (located right side of the grill) by plac-

ing the pointed end into the square opening of the coupler. The other end of the skewer (round shaft

end) rests between the rotisserie bearing wheels opposite to the skewer coupler, on the left side of the

grill.

To load the skewer, slide the meat holders with the prongs facing towards the center the skewer bar.

Push the skewer through the center of the food, and then slide the second meat holder (prongs toward

the food) onto the skewer.

Center the product to be cooked on the skewer then push the meat holders firmly together. Tighten the

thumb nuts of the meat holders with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s

string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any loose portions. Once the food is secure, insert the

skewer into the coupler. Start the motor with the switch located on the right side of the control panel.

ROTISSERIE BASTING PAN:

Your

™ Gourmet Grill includes a basting pan

for use with the rotisserie. Place the pan onto the grill

racks (or, if necessary, directly onto the briquettes if the

grill racks are removed to accommodate large cuts of

meat). This pan will catch drippings from the meat being

cooked, preventing grease build-up on the briquettes or

Sear-Zone™ IR Burner.

NOTE: Never use the basting pan when any of the grill burners are lit. Basting pan is for use with

the rotisserie burner only.

DO NOT USE WHILE GRILLING.

ROTISSERIE GENERAL COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

As a general rule, rotisserie cooking will take 15 ~ 20 minutes per pound of meat. Keep the hood closed

as much as possible to improve performance.

INFRARED GRILLING TIPS:

Even for an experienced chef, infrared cooking can, at first, present a bit of a challenge. By following

these simple tips, you will soon be producing juicier, more flavorful foods than you have ever

experienced before. As a general rule, foods will cook in less time than they would take on an ordinary

grill.

By turning food frequently (approximately every 2 minutes), excessive charring is simply avoided.

ALFRESCO RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TURN FOOD BEING GRILLED ON A SEAR

ZONE™ IR-BURNER EVERY TWO MINUTES DURING THE COOKING PERIOD.

NEVER ALLOW FOOD TO COOK MORE THAN 2 1/2 MINUTES WITHOUT TURNING.

SEARING IS THE KEY:

An infrared grill works by producing intense heat which quickly sears meats. 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.

Just the result you want with most grilled foods.

HOW TO GRILL WITH IR:

Properly pre-heat the grill by following the lighting instructions on page 12. Place food on grill grids and

turn every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until food is cooked to desired taste. Do not let food cook more than 2 1/2

minutes without turning. Perfect cross sear marks can be made by rotating food 90° at each turn.

APPROXIMATE SEAR-ZONE™ COOKING TIMES:

 These are recommended times only. Due to the variations on the cuts of meats and personal taste,

your cooking times may be different. Use your discretion when cooking with ALFRESCO™ Gourmet

Grill Sear-Zone™ IR-Burners.

WOOD CHIP SMOKER:

By using real wood chips in the smoker system of your ™ Gourmet Grill, you can add extra

flavor to all of your grilled foods. For good smoke performance, soak the wood chips for not less than 30

minutes, drain excess liquid and fill the smoker tray completely.

HOW TO SMOKE:

1. Fill the smoker tray with thoroughly soaked and drained wood chips.

2. Light the smoker burner according to the instructions on page 12.

Replace the smoker tray into the grill, close the hood and set the smoker burner to high. Smoke should

begin in about 20 ~ 30 minutes

One tray of wood chips will usually last about one hour. During extended grilling, chips may need to be

added several times. Pull the drawer only partially out of the grill to add chips while in use. Never re-

move the hot smoker tray completely from the grill. To improve smoke performance, keep the hood

closed as much as possible while food is grilling.

NOTE: If not thoroughly soaked, the wood chips will flare up during grilling. To extinguish flames, pull the

drawer slowly a few inches out of the grill front and add a small amount of water. The smoker tray can

also be filled with water to produce steam which can help keep delicate foods moist during grilling.

TYPES OF WOOD CHIPS TO USE:

 Alder: Medium, tart smoke flavor. Excellent on fish, chicken or game.

 Maple: Sweet, hearty smoke flavor. Best with fish, jerky or bacon.

 Apple: Light, sweet smoke flavor. Superb with poultry, ham or sausage.

 Hickory: Heavy smoke flavor. Best with beef, pork or game.

 Mesquite: Light smoke flavor. Excellent on fish, poultry or beef.

 Oak: Heavy smoke flavor. Best with beef, lamb or pork.

 Pecan: Rich, sweet, versatile flavor. Good with any grilled foods.

 Grapevine: Strong smoke flavor. Best with beef or poultry.
