Note To Customer:
We recommend that you “break in” your grill by cooking the first two or three times at medium or low
temperature settings. This allows the stainless steel drip pan to “season/break in’.
Caution: We recommend after each use, you turn the control knobs to HIGH (with the lid closed)
and run the grill for approximately 10 minutes. This will allow the accumulated fats and greases to
cook off, and avoid a possible flare up on the next use. HINT: The fats and greases are cooked off
when no more smoke is flowing from the grill vents.
READ this book first!

The column and base should be assembled first, then
the grill head to the completed base assembly.
Assemble As Follows:
Step 1: Follow this step if you have selected the
Black Aluminum Column Mount.
Go To Step 1A If You Have A Stainless Steel Column
A. In box #2, find and attach the LP Tank Locking Bar
across the back of the column. This spreads and holds
the correct spacing at the back of the column regard-
less of the type of gas that will be used. Use the (2)
3/4" Hex Bolts, Nylon Lock Bar Spacers and Kep Nuts
to fasten the lock bar in place. (Fig. 1)
B. Align the Holes!
Attach the column to the base using six 3/4 inch bolts,
four large rectangular washers, and on the underside,
siX round washers and six Kep nuts. This assembly
work is most easily done with the column lying on its
front or back to provide access to the washers and nuts
beneath the base. (Fig. 2)
IMPORTANT! The large rectangular washers are used
at the column left and right sides on top of the bottom
lip and under the head of the bolts. The six round
washers are used under the casting. Tighten all se-
curely and stand unit upright.
C. On portable bases, attach the wheels by slipping the
axle through the base, slide the wheels on and install
the axle clips. Finish by snapping the hubcaps on. Flat

Step 2. At this point you have assembled the Pedestal/
Column and Base Assembly, and will now proceed to
the grill head itself, (carton 4.)
With the grill head still in its box, cut down all (4) cor-
ners ofthe box to expose the grill head. Remove and
set the grill Lid aside. Remove the Control Panel inter
pack, side shelf, grease bucket, and cooking grid which
are packed inside the grill head. Last, remove the “Y”
shaped stainless drip pan from the bottom of the grill
head. Remove the grill head being very careful not to
damage the Venturi Tubes or Ignitor Insulator protrud-
ing from the bottom.
On a protective sheet of cardboard, stand the grill head
on its side and remove the two (2) wing nuts holding
the burner in place. Remove the BurnerVenturi assem-
bly from the unit. It will be reinstalled later and secured
with the two (2) wing nuts.

Warning! Always check the alignment of the orifice and
the venture whenever the grill has been moved. Make
sure that the orifice fits into the venture tube 1/4" to
1/2" . Failure to make this connection may cause fire
and result in serious body injury or damage to your grill.
The threaded burner posts go through the matching
holes in the pit bottom. Make sure the (2) wing nuts
are installed from underneath onto the threaded
studs.
Step 7. Reinstall Drip Pan and Drain Valve
Lower the "VV" shaped drip pan into the pit with the
drain pipe to the right side, as it will go through the
hole at the bottom of the pit. Lightly coat the ex-
posed threads with pipe sealant and tread on the
drain valve. Make sure it is in the open position.
Hang the grease bucket from the valve. Install the
stainless steel cooking grid.
Step 8. Install From Access Panel and Lid
First, make sure that the regulator hose is posi-
tioned into the slot on the column and that the
regulator itself is passed through into the column
below the heat shield. It will be connected to the
tank which will sit in the column. {Fig 7)
Carefully place lid onto the grill pit and align the
holes of the upper and lower hinges. Reinstall the
lid pins and securing clips. Remove the remain-
ing protective white film from the Lid and all
other body parts.
Step 9. Install Access Panel
The front access panel attaches directly under the
control panel and hides the access opening. Lift
the access panel up behind the lip of the control
panel, then slip the bottom double edge of the ac-
cess panel (upward pressure may be needed)
over the edge of the access opening (Fig. 7).

open side of the tank valve collar pointing towards the
square hole in the tank enclosure.
Ensure that all hoses, fittings and regulators are prop-
erly protected from heat and accidental damage. Hoses
can be burned or chaffed if routed improperly. (See
Hose and Regulator, page 3). Be sure all burner control
valves on the grill are turned off. To connect hose and
regulator to cylinder turn coupling nut clockwise as
shown in diagram below (Fig. 8). (To remove the quick
connect coupling nut, turn counter clockwise.)
Your Scottsdale Grill comes with a Type | connector,
also known as a “Quick Connect Valve” connection. It
has a large plastic “coupling nut” that screws onto the
propane tank gas outlet. Note: Your Scottsdale Grill
does not come with a propane tank. Therefore, be
sure the tank you purchase has this type of hook-
up. Also, the cylinder you use must be equipped
with a listed overfilling protection device. This can
be identified by the triangular hand wheel. (See
diagram below and page 2 of these instructions).
Please remember when you Scottsdale Grill is not
In use, the gas must be turned off at the supply
cylinder.

First Time After Storage Checklist
A SAFETY
Prior To Use
Listed below are steps to follow each time you use
your grill. If this is the first ime, be sure you read
and understand all information in this manual.
-Your grill parts have been coated with a pre-
servative to prevent rust. Prior to the first use, it is
important that the grill be lit and allowed to oper-
ate on “HIGH” for at least 15 minutes with the lid
closed before any food is placed on the cooking
surface.
-If the grill has been moved or cleaned, be sure
the venturis are properly located. The valve out-
lets MUST be inside the venturis. Improper posi-
tioning could cause property damage or personal
injury. (See Picture on Page 5.)
-Be sure all gas connections are free from leaks.
(See "Leak Testing procedure).
-Be sure any electrical supply cords and/or any
fuel supply hoses are kept away from hot sur-
faces.
-Be sure to periodically clean the venturis. (See
“Care and Maintenance” for cleaning procedure).
-Be sure ventilation openings of the cylinder en-
closure are kept clean and clear of debris.
-Do not move the grill when lit.
/\ WARNING
NEVER Move Grill After It Is Lit.
Natural Gas Precautions
If your Scottsdale Grill has been converted to
natural gas by an authorized Scottsdale Grill Dis-
tributor then please follow the precautions de-
scribed hereafter.
A Caution:
The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individ-
ual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 PSI (3.5 KPA).
Beware of Spiders
In some areas of the country, spiders and small
Insects have been known to spin webs or make
nests inside of the venture tubes. These webs can
lead to gas flow obstruction which could result in a
fire in and around the venture tubes. This type of
fire is commonly known as a Flashback , and can
cause serious damage to the grill and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user. Although
An obstructed venture tube is not the only cause
of “Flashback”, it is the most common cause.
There, to avoid this problem, frequent inspection
and cleaning of the venture tubes is neces-
sary, even before the first operation of the
grill. Failure to do so may result in a fire be-
neath your grill. See (Care and Maintenance
Section” for proper procedure to ensure clean
venture tubes.
A SAFETY LIGHTING
-Have you completed the “Leak Test” procedure?
If not, do so before attempting to light grill.
-Be sure you have followed the “Prior to Use and
all safety instructions before lighting grill.
-Open grill top before lighting. NEVER light grill
with top down.
-Make sure that control knobs are on “OFF”.
-Turn the gas supply on at the propane cylinder.
ignitor and Match Lighting Procedure
Push-button Lighting Procedure:
1. Push in and turn either left or right control knob
to “HI”.
2. Immediately push igniter button all the way in
until ignition is heard, then release. Check through
center peep hole to verify ignition has taken place.
Adjust burner knobs to desired heat setting.
3. If ignition does not occur within 9 seconds turn
burner control(s) off. Wait © minutes and repeat
lighting procedure.
Match Lighting Procedure:
You may also elect to use a match to light your
grill. Place a match in the hole left of the drip pan
valve, then push in and turn the right control knob
to HI until you see the gas is lit through the
peephole located just above the control knobs.
Then follow steps 3 and 4 above.
IMPORTANT: If the burner flame goes out when
the unit is in use, always turn gas control knobs to
“OFF” immediately. Open grill lid and wait 5 min-
utes before relighting.
Always turn off the gas supply at the propane tank
valve when the grill is not in use.
BURNER FLAME APPEARANCE
Burner Flame —
—— YELLOW YELLOW
BLUE BLUE
GOOD FLAME BAD FLAME
Visually check the burner flame appearance each
time the grill is used. A good burner flame should
be blue with some yellow at the tip. If the burner
flame is nearly all yellow, check the following:
-Are the burner holes clogged? If so, refer to
“Care and Maintenance” section for cleaning in-
structions.
-Are the venture tubes blocked? If so, refer to
“Care and Maintenance section for cleaning in-
structions.
-Are venturis properly located on the valve out-
lets? Refer to “Prior to Use” section. Correct prob-
lems if any.
If, after checking all of the above, your flame still
burns with yellow tips, your burner needs to be
adjusted. Located on your venture tube is an air
shutter that can be adjusted. It is located on the
end of the venture valve where it connects to the
control valve. Loosen the screw and adjust the
shutters until a correct flame appears.
DAMPER OPERATION
Adjust the damper to the desired position prior to
lighting up the grill because the adjusting screw
will become HOT after the grill has been lit.
Care and Maintenance Section
As with all appliances, proper care and mainte-
nance will keep them in top operating condition
and prolong their life. Your new gas grill is no ex-
ception. By following these cleaning procedures
oh a timely basis, your grill will be kept clean and
working properly with minimum effort.
/\ SAFETY
Venturi Cleaning
To reduce the chance of “Flashback”, the proce-
dure below should be followed at least once or
twice a month, especially in late summer and early
fall when spiders are most active, or whenever
your grill has not been used for an extended pe-
riod of time.
Following we provide two methods for cleaning
the venture tubes. Follow the procedure that is
most convenient for you.
1. Remove the burner assembly from the grill
bottom. See step 25 in the assembly instruction
section on how to remove.
2. Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook. Run the hook up
through each venture tube past bend and into
the burner several times.
3. Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run
the brush up through each venture tube past
bend and into the burner several times.
Should “Flashback” occur, immediately turn the
control knob to “OFF” and carefully turn the gas
supply off at the propane tank. Wait until your grill
has cooled, and determine the cause. The
“Trouble Shooting Guide” (found in this manual)
lists other causes of Flashback and can be help-
ful in determining the cause and solution. Correct
problem, and replace any damaged parts before
using grill.
Burner Cleaning
Regardless of which venture cleaning procedure
you used, we recommend that you complete the
following steps to help prolong burner life.
“Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to re-
move loose corrosion.
-Clean any clogged holes with a stiff wire (for ex-
ample, an open paper clip).
-Inspect the burner and venturis for any opening
caused by corrosion.
-If openings due to corrosion are found, order a
new burner.
-Check the burner for proper location after replac-
ing.
-Check to assure the valve outlets are inside of
the venturis.
-Check to ensure that the Wing Nuts that hold the
burner, are tight. Periodically check and tighten as
needed.
Annual Cleaning
Al least once a year you should follow these steps
to give the entire appliance a thorough cleaning.
This will help maintain your grill in top operating
condition.
-Remove all components from inside your grill.
-Cover the valve orifices with a small piece of alu-
minum foil. (Note: Remove foil after cleaning).
-Brush interior surfaces of the housings with a stiff
wire brush. If desired, the interior and exterior may
be washed.
-Brush the burner and any clogged holes with a
stiff wire. For more detailed instructions, see
“Burner Cleaning” section.
-Clean the venture tubes and inspect parts for cor-
rosion as described in the “Venturi Cleaning”
Section.
-Replace all damaged or worn parts. Do not at-
tempt to use your grill with damaged or worn
parts.
-Replace all parts as shown in the assembly in-
structions.
-Check for proper burner and venture placement.
-Do not operate with any loose or missing bolts.
Tighten or replace.
-Check hose for deterioration or damage. Replace
at first sign of leak or if “cracking” becomes notice-
able.
Stainless Steel Cleaning
Before cleaning, determine which way the
“grain” of the metal runs and always clean
with the grain. NEVER USE STEEL WOOL
PADS TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL.
1. Routine cleaning is done with a warm soapy
water applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Always
rinse with clean hot water and wipe dry with a soft
cloth. Glass cleaners like Windex also works well.
2. Stubborn stains can be removed with a mild
non-scratching abrasive household powder. Add a
small amount of vinegar to the scouring powder to
Increase its potency.
3. Commercial stainless steel cleaners and polish-
ers also work well, such as MHP's Stainless Steel
Cleaner (Part #55C). Note: Over time the
stainless steel will turn a mild gold patina from
the grill’s heat. This is normal.
4. We recommend covering your grill with a MHP
felt-backed cover. A cover will prolong the life of
the grill and prevent rain water from draining into
the grease bucket, causing it to overflow. A cover
can be purchased through you Scottsdale Dealer.
COOKING TIPS FOR YOUR
SCOTTSDALE GAS GRILL
Thank you for purchasing a MHP Scottsdale se-
ries grill. Your new Scottsdale eliminates flare-ups
because the cooking surface is shielded from di-
rect flame contact by a drip pan. For best results
we recommend that all preheating, grilling,
smoking, baking and steaming be performed
with the lid closed! (Warning: Always light
your grill with the lid open.
GETTING STARTED
Before you use your grill for the first time be sure
to read and thoroughly understand all grill safety,
lighting, locating, operating and maintenance pro-
cedures found in this book.
We recommend you “break in” your grill by
cooking the first 2 or 3 times at medium or low
temperature settings. This allows the drip pan
to “season/break-in”. Please Note: as long as
the grease can flow into the grease bucket it is
not necessary to clean the drip pan after each
use. Clean as needed or approximately every
10 uses.
We recommend after each use, you turn the
control knobs to “HIGH” {with the lid closed)
and run the grill for approximately 10 minutes.
This will allow the accumulated fats and
greases to cook off, and avoid a possible flare
up on the next use. HINT: The fats and greases
are cooked off when no more smoke is flowing
from grill vents.
We recommend cleaning the cooking surface
(cooking grid) before each use and before you
light the grill. Simply run a wire brush front to back
and side to side across the diamond shaped cook-
ing surface. This can be performed with cooking
grid in place or you can remove the cooking grid
for cleaning.
The drip pan drain valve should be kept open
while your grill is in use. This allows the grease
that drips from your food. To continuously drain
into the grease catch bucket. If you are cooking a
small quantity of food or food with very little fat,
you may not notice any grease collecting in the
grease bucket. However, If you notice grease ac-
cumulating in the drip pan but itis not running into
the grease bucket, then either your drain valve is
not open or the drip pan pipe is clogged. Don't at-
tempt to clear the clog while the grill is hot! Wait
until the grill has cooled, remove the cooking grid
and run a stick down the drain pipe until the clog
Is cleared.
The only time the drip pan drain valve should be
closed during grill use, is when you are steaming r
smoking with liquid smoke. See below for steam-
ing and smoking instructions.
The following grilling, steaming, smoking and bak-
ing tips are provided as helpful guidelines. With
experience you will find the cooking times and
temperature control settings that best suit your
taste. Please refer to page 15 for suggested cook-
ing times.
