COOKING ZONES
Your grill is divided into three cooking zones, each
corresponding to a burner. Burners are numbered
starting at one (1) on the left, going to three (3) on the
right (see Fig. 21-1). The cooking zones are monitored
by the digital thermometer.
GRILL HEAT DISTRIBUTION - IR BURNER
Infrared burners are designed for even, searing
heat across their whole surface. Because the heat
is radiant, it tends to heat the food you are cooking
directly without heating the air around it as much as
a conventional burner.
Note: E1060 models contain an additional cooking
zone, on the far left of the grill. This zone is not SMOKER DRAWER USE

Specific zones are better suited to specific types of
cooking because of features such as being adjacent

The front of the grill is designed, for safety reasons,
to be the coolest part of the grill. If you look directly
down on the grill top, while it is off and cool, you can
see this portion of the grill, where the front end of each
burner stops and the slope of the inner grill fire wall
begins. This area also loses heat most rapidly when
the oven lid is opened (see Fig. 21-2).
