The TEC Sterling Patio FR grill features an efficient burner design that allows for both infrared grilling and conventional radiant cooking.

4.1 Паљење

1. Уверите се да је вентил резервоара за пропан потпуно отворен.
2. Отворите поклопац роштиља.
3. Push in and slowly turn a control knob to the HIGH position.
4. Притискајте дугме за паљење више пута док се горионик не упали.
5. If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the ignition procedure.

4.2 Infrared Grilling

TEC's infrared grill technology provides even heat distribution and minimizes moisture loss, resulting in flavorful, charbroiled results. When preheating on high with the hood closed, the grill can reach temperatures of 850°F - 900°F in approximately 7 minutes.

The radiant glass panels block rising hot air from the burners, allowing food to retain up to 35% more of its own juices. Drippings are incinerated on the heated glass, creating a rich, smoky vapor that enhances flavor without flare-ups.

4.3 Conventional Radiant Cooking

The grill also supports conventional radiant cooking. The stainless steel cooking grates sit directly on top of the radiant glass panels, preventing air flow that ignites food drippings and causes flare-ups. Burners distribute heat evenly across the cooking grates, and temperatures can be controlled by adjusting the knobs.

4.4 Special Cooking Methods

• Slow Cooks, Smokes, and Sears: Achieve a wide range of temperatures, from high searing heat to a low 200°F for slow cooking and smoking.
• Traditional Stovetop Use: Place cookware directly on top of the cooking grate to simmer, boil, or sauté, eliminating the need for a separate side burner.
