CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
Professional chefs far and wide set their restaurant cuisine
apart by cooking
over wood fires.
Imparting a delicate
hint of wood smoke
enhances food,
raising your culinary
skills to the next
level.
Your new grill comes
with the Lynx Smoker
Set with handle. This oval shaped Lynx Smoker box can be
placed anywhere on the grates directly over any burner.
The unique handle and interlock mechanism is designed to
allow quick removal or refilling of the Lynx smoker box.
The smoker box is designed with special draft and flow
through for maximum smoke. It is constructed of 304 Heavy
Gauge Stainless Steel for years of use.
The Lynx Smoker box can be used with smoker pellets
or wood chips. Whether using wood chips or pellets, we
recommend using approximately 3 oz. of either material.
There is no need for presoaking, just fill the smoker box.
Now use the handle to place
the smoker box directly on
the hot grates. Don’t forget
to remove the smoker handle
before closing the grill lid.
Smoke occurs at approximately
575 degrees F. at the grilling
surface. Set the burner knob to medium/medium low to
achieve this temperature. Use the handle to move or refill
the smoker box. Control the smoking by adjusting the heat
and being careful not to adjust it too high.
For best results keep the lid closed. The best absorption
of smoke flavor occurs early in the cooking process. When
finished with smoking, allow the smoker box to cool and
dispose of remnants.
Slide the pointed end of the skewer into the motor and rest
the other end on the rollers on the other side of the grill.
The notched portion of the skewer must rest on the rollers
for proper operation.
The Rotisserie Burner
To light the rotisserie infrared burner, first mount the
skewered food item on the grill then follow the rotis-
serie lighting procedure. (See INDEX: “Rotisserie Burner,
Lighting” for further details.)
Once lit, the rotisserie burner should reach cooking
temperatures in about 1 minute. It will glow evenly across
its surface in about 5 minutes.
NOTE: The grill thermometer should not be used for
rotisserie cooking. It is not designed to read direct infrared
heat.
If the burner will not stay lit when you release the control
knob, re-light it and hold the control knob in for at least 60
seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
If, after holding the control knob in for at least 60 seconds,
the burner still will not stay lit when releasing the control
knob, call for service.
(See INDEX: “Obtaining service from Lynx” for further
details.)

USING THE SMOKER BOX
Handle the smoker box with care. The cover
becomes extremely hot when in use. Use sturdy,
properly insulated gloves or dry pot holders.
CAUTION
STAINLESS STEEL
Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance.
We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of
stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship.
In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life
of the grill it is important to take the following steps:
• After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to
remove grease and splatters.
• Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the
grates and burners clean and ready for use.
• Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner* to
clean and polish the exterior surfaces.
Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount
of effort required.
Part of the appeal of your Lynx Grill is the fine grain finish.
When removing stubborn stains:
• Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the
direction of the grain.
• Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on
your Lynx Grill.
• Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing
in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather
in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the
surface, giving the appearance of rust.
To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium
grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in
conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
• Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry
can be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel.
Ensure your Lynx products are well protected before
you allow the use of such chemicals near your grill.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND
COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of
a Lynx Grill is highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the
air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause
surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left
on the product.
Here are a few tips to avoid this:
• Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp
cloth. (Micro fiber cloths such as Ecloth perform very
well).
• Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do
not cover a damp grill.
• In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which
leaves a microscopic protective layer on the grill.
Products that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors
(VpCI™) protect the surface very well.
• For seasonal storage use the product referred to above,
ensure the grill is dry and then cover and secure the
cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the
surfaces.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY PROVIDES
PROTECTION AGAINST RUST THROUGH OF PARTS THAT
RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT
COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE
TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
After your first use certain areas of the grill may discolor
from the intense heat given off by the burners - this is
normal and cannot be cleaned off.
For light and heavy food stains there are many different
stainless steel cleaners available.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the
grill is completely cool, remove the drip tray by pulling it
out until it stops, then lifting the front edge until the drip
tray comes free.
Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style
cleaning product and re-install. When using an oven-style
cleaning product be sure to carefully follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Many of these cleaners are
toxic and can damage the stainless steel finish if not used
properly.
Also, check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill
uncovered, you may need to remove the drip tray drain
plug to drain the water from the tray. The drain plug can be
removed with a flat-head screwdriver.
