CHECKING AND CONVERTING GAS TYPE

This unit comes from the factory confi gured for one type of gas, as marked on the label behind the faceplate.

Converting this unit to burn a different type of gas requires a conversion kit from the factory.

The professional installer who converts this unit to burn a different gas must perform the following functions:

WARNING

HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR

IF A NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH

PROPANE GAS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THE

CORRECT ORIFICES ARE INSTALLED, OR IF AN

ORIFICE CHANGE IS NECESSARY, REFER TO

THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Change brass gas orifices (included at original shipping) on each burner to match the new gas type

(see PRODUCT DATA TABLE, Table 1).

CAUTION: Make sure the unit is at a safe temperature and isolated from gas and electrical supplies before beginning the tasks outlined below.

2. Switch the convertible gas regulator (included at original shipping) to match the new gas type

(see below).

Note: The cooler the unit, the greater the tolerances between the stainless-steel parts, and therefore the easier to disassemble and reassemble parts of the unit.

3. Plumb the unit to the new gas supply.

4. Apply a new label behind the faceplate, indicating the new gas the unit will burn (included with conversion kit).

CAUTION: For your safety, exercise caution and use adequate hand protection (such as gloves) when handling potentially sharp sheet-metal parts.

CHECKING AND CONVERTING THE REGULATOR

BARBECUE SAFETY INFORMATION & MAINTENANCE

Each time you use the barbecue, make sure that: DRIP COLLECTION SYSTEM

1. The area around the barbecue is clear of fl ammable vapors, liquids, and substances such as gasoline, yard debris, wood, etc.

The drip collector in this barbecue is part of the unit’s main frame and is located below the burners. The drip collector has one hole that will allow excess drippings to fall through during cooking, while separating the fi rebox from the drip tray. Clean the drip tray after each use.

2. There is no blockage of the airfl ow through the vent space located below the face of the unit.

3. When using propane gas:

a. The special ventilation openings in the enclosure should be kept free and clear of debris

(see PLANNING THE LOCATION OF THE

BARBECUE).

The drip collector allows you to brush or scrape residue from the barbecue’s inner liner into the drip tray.

Following the manufacturers instructions and regular cleaning of the barbecue’s interior with oven cleaner, will help to prevent grease fi res.

b. If connected to a propane cylinder, the rubber hose attached to the regulator should be carefully inspected before each use.

c. The propane cylinder, regulator, and rubber hose should be installed in a location not subject to heating above

125° F (51° C).

Periodically check the burners to make sure they are clear of debris. Properly adjusted burner fl ames burn evenly along both sides of each burner with a steady fl ame (mostly blue with yellow tipping). If burner fl ames are not normal, check the orifi ce and burner for insects or insect nests. (See section on

CHECKING/CONVERTING THE BURNER ORIFICES for instructions on burner removal and replacement.) 4. The burner fl ames burn evenly along both sides of each burner with a steady fl ame, which is mostly blue with yellow tipping. (Refer to section on AIR

SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT.) If burner fl ames are not normal, check the orifi ce and burner for insects or insect nests.

Check the burner ports at least annually for blockage by removing the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions) and visually inspect the gas intake tube for insects and nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fi re beneath the grill.

5. The inline gas valve or gas cylinder valve is always shut OFF when the barbecue is not in use.

ROTISSERIE INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE BACKBURNER AND ROTISSERIE RUNNING THE ROTISSERIE

Rotisser ie cooking with the backbur ner is accomplished without use of the main burners. Follow the steps in the appropriate sections below to set up and use these accessories.

SET UP

1. Remove the cooking grids from the barbecue, if necessary, to obtain maximum clearance for larger cuts. The fl avor grids may also be removed if required.

PUTTING THE MEAT ON THE SPIT ROD

1. Slide the meat and spit prongs onto the spit rod so the meat is centered and balanced as well as possible.

2. Tighten the spit prongs into place so that the meat remains in a fi xed position on the rod and the meat rotates with the rod.

1. Place the pointed end of the spit rod into the motor drive socket and rest the handle end of the spit rod in the spit bracket on the right side of the barbecue.

2. Plug in (if necessary) and turn on the rotisserie motor.

3. Use a standard roasting guide to estimate the length of time for your meat. A meat thermometer may also be used to tell when your favorite cuts are cooked to your liking. When testing temperatures with a thermometer, turn off the rotisserie motor and turn the backburner on LOW. This will keep the meat from over cooking on one side.

Tip: Aluminum foil or a baking pan may be placed over the main burners, a little forward of center, to catch excess drippings from the meat.

2. Attach the rotisserie motor to the rotisserie mounting on the right side of your barbecue by sliding the bracket attached to the motor housing onto the tab on the right of the barbecue so that the spit rod will fi t into the motor drive socket from the left.

3. Follow the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS to light the backburner.

4. Allow the backburner to preheat for approximately

10 minutes on HI LIGHT setting.

Note: When burning properly, the backburner grating will glow red. The fi rst time it is used the backburner may smoke a little.

Important: Operate the backburner with the oven closed. This simulates an oven effect and helps your meat cook faster.

Constant rotation of the spit assures even cooking and maximum retention of juices.

Note: On large cuts of meat or whole turkeys, it may be necessary to reduce the heat from your backburner. Cooking food at a lower temperature for a longer period of time will keep the outer surface from burning while cooking the interior of the meat.

ACCESSORIES

THE VAPORIZER PANEL(S) THE WARMING RACK

The warming rack (Fig. 21-2) is packed separately.

Place each vaporizer panel directly on a burner or burner pair. Center each panel over the burner, oriented as shown in Fig. 21-1.

Note: This allows heat from the burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area. The vaporizer panels heat and cool quickly, making the grill very responsive to the changes in heat from the burners.

To install the warming rack, lift the front of the rack up slightly and insert the rack hangers into the two holes in the back of the inner oven hood just above the backburner. Then lower the front of the rack into a level position to lock the rack in place.

To remove the warming rack, lift up on the front of the rack until the rack hangers pull free from their supporting holes.

THE COOKING GRID LIFTER

Hold the grid lifter by gripping the center section with the prongs pointing down (use an oven mitt or heavy glove if the grill is hot). Insert the notched end of the grid lifter into the cooking grid, in front of the midway point (front to back; Fig. 21-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 21-4). the handle is parallel to the grill rods. This “seats” the spiked end of the grid lifter between two rods, enabling you to safely lift out the grid. Lift slowly and adjust the grid lifter, if necessary, for balance.

THE DRIP PAN

The drip collection system allows you to brush or scrape excess dried residue from the grilling area directly into the drip pan (see PARTS LIST for drip pan location).

To simplify cleanup when using the rotisserie, you may place a baking pan or foil under the rotisserie on top of the burners to collect the drippings. Clean the drip pan after each use.

Note: Removing the warming rack before using the rotisserie will leave more clearance for the meat being cooked.

CARE & CLEANING

CARE AND CLEANING

Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures produced by the grilling process will change color. The stainless steel will change color from silver to brown and blue. This can be removed by using Fire Magic Stainless Steel Cleaner (3581-1).

Clean your appliance by fi rst using Fire Magic

Barbecue and Grill Cleaner (part #3580-1) to remove grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain

(See Fig. 22-1). Next, use Fire Magic Stainless

Steel Cleaner (3581-1) to restore the stainless steel color (Note: not for mirror fi nish). Finish by wiping your appliance down using Fire Magic Polish Wipes

(3586-1). To clean the mirror panel, use a quality brand glass cleaner only, not any of the cleaners mentioned above.

Wipe with g rain

Fig. 22-1 - Wipe with grain

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE

WEATHER

Clean your appliance at least once a month.

If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or poolside (chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible to corrosion and must be maintained/cleaned more frequently. Do not store chemicals (such as chlorine or fertilizer) near your stainless steel appliance.

An optional heavy-duty cover will protect your appliance’s fi nish and protect your investment. The water repellent cover will protect your appliance from the weather. Always cover your appliance when not in use. (Allow to cool before covering.)

Please specify the model number and serial number of your appliance when ordering a cover.

Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits are removable with stainless-steel cleaner through prompt and periodic maintenance.

If not attended to promptly, permanent pitting may occur.

Check and clean the burner ports and burner carryover slits for blockage at least annually by removing the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions) and visually inspecting the burner inlet for insects and nests. A clogged burner can lead to a fi re in the bottom of the appliance.

The inside of the appliance may be cleaned periodically with oven cleaner if desired. Follow the oven cleaner instructions for proper use.

Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface of the appliance as it can permanently damage the fi nish.

By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the beauty and convenience of your appliance for many years to come.
