Important Safety Instructions


IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and

Toxic Enforcement Act requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances is minimized because this is an outdoor unit.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooking center unless it is specifically recommended in this guide.

All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located so that you know where to shut off the gas to the cooking center.

• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight.

Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

• This cooking center is for outdoor use only.

Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58,

Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking gas appliances.

• Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation.

In the absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code

No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National

Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest

Edition.

• Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the lighting instructions in this guide.

• Read this guide carefully and completely before using your cooking center to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.

Please retain this guide for future reference.

• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

• Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or around the cooking center at any time.

When in use, portions of the cooking center get hot enough to cause severe burns.

• Do not store items of interest to children around or below the cooking center, in the cart or built-in enclosure.

• Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.

• Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled.

Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.

Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foamtype fire extinguisher.

5


• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this guide.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the cooking center is being used.

• For personal safety, wear proper apparel.

Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance.

Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use.

Unsuitable types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

• Use a pot holder when opening the roll top lid.

Open the lid slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.

• Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Do not let pot holders touch hot portions of the grill rack or burner grates.

• Never lean over an open grill.

• Pay close attention when lighting a burner.

Be certain you are rotating the igniter labeled for the burner you intend on using.

• When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding areas as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Keep children away!

• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.

Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pans. Clean the drip pans often. (On some models)

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks.

This can severely upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs or rotary igniters.

• When using the range-top burners always use flat-bottomed pans which are large enough to cover the burner.

Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing. Position handles inward away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan with a pot holder when turning or stirring food.

• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.

• Never grill without the drip pan in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill.

Without it, hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.

• Never rotisserie cook without the basting pan in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill.

Without it, hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.

• Do not leave the cooking center unattended while cooking.

• For proper lighting and performance of the burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.

• Clean the grill with caution.

To avoid steam burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.

• Do not operate the cooking center under unprotected combustible construction.

Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.

• Do not locate the cooking center where the grill exhaust is directed at combustible materials, windows (open or closed), doorways, etc. The grill vents combustion gases and smoke to the back of the appliance.

• Keep the area surrounding the cooking center free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Important Safety Instructions



• At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects. The burner area is a common and desired spider haven and can present a dangerous condition which can damage the cooking center and render it unsafe for use. The presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects can cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel. Check the cooking center immediately if any of the following conditions exist:

1.

The smell of gas in conjunction with extreme yellow tipping of the burner flames.

2.

The grill or range-top burners do not reach temperature.

3.

The grill or range-top burners heat unevenly.

4.

The burners make popping noises.

• Do not use charcoal on the grill.

• Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor away from the heated areas of the cooking center.

• Never use the cooking center in windy conditions.

If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances listed in the installation instructions.

• The 24˝ professional grill is designed for single rows of ceramic briquettes to be placed in the stainless steel radiant trays above the grill burners.

To avoid blocking off the area for the grill burners to vent, do not place the ceramic briquettes over the holes in the stainless steel radiant trays.

Placing the ceramic briquettes over the holes in the stainless steel radiant trays can damage ignition components and knobs and void the warranty.

• The 27˝, 36˝ and 48˝ professional grills are designed for a single layer of lava rock to be spread evenly over the stainless steel radiant tray above the grill burners.

To avoid blocking off the area for the grill burners to vent, do not use more than a single layer of lava rock. Adding excess rock can damage ignition components and knobs and void the warranty.

• If a cart unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool before attempting to move it.

If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of the reach of children.

From the caster side of the cooking center push, never pull, the cooking center.

• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank.

See the requirements in the installation instructions.

• Never put more than one LP cylinder below a cart-mounted cooking center.

Never modify the cart to house a larger cylinder or more than one cylinder at a time. Do not store spare tanks in a built-in enclosure.

• Keep the ventilation openings of the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

• LP units require an LP tank equipped with a type 1 connector and an over-fill protection device. If you use a tank exchange system, be sure to exchange this tank for a similarly equipped tank.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL 160°F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL 180°F.

Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

General information

The Grill


The grill section consists of a large cast iron burner or burners (depending on model), a series of stainless steel heat baffles (on some models), a bed of natural lava rocks or ceramic briquettes and a porcelain enameled heat retaining grill rack(s).

Each burner is rated at 15,000 BTU for

24

″ models.

Each burner is rated at 20,000 BTU for

27 , 36

″ and 48

″ models.

Below each burner is a stainless steel heat baffle (on some models) which reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces the temperature of the drip pan below (on some models).

The cast iron grill burner encompasses the entire cooking area and is top ported to operate cooler and last longer.

On some models, the burners in the cooking area are side ported.

Above the burner(s) is a stainless steel radiant tray(s) which supports the lava rock or ceramic briquettes and protects the grill burner ports from blockage.

The Grill


The grill is supplied with natural lava rock

(on some models). Because of the porosity of natural lava rock it is superior in its ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners.

It also possesses the thermal mass needed for professional results. Flare-ups are controlled because the lava radiant keeps grease from getting to the flames and igniting.

The intense heat produced by this system produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized.

Place lava rocks in a single layer on top of the stainless steel radiant tray located under the grill rack. It is important to distribute the rocks evenly over the tray without leaving any large gaps. Uneven distribution of the rocks and air gaps can cause localized “hot” and “cold” spots which could result in unsatisfactory cooking performance.

The intense radiant heat from the ceramic briquettes caramelizes the fats and juices that are brought to the surface of the food, giving it the barbecued flavor.

The ceramic briquettes are in two separate stainless steel trays located under the grill racks. The small tray is to be placed in the back and the large tray is to be placed in the front.

(See the Rotisserie section for placement when rotisserie cooking.)

Make sure the briquettes are in place in the trays so that they do not cover the holes in the trays.

WARNING: IMPORTANT!

Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas on. If there is evidence of cuts, wear or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Any replacement pressure regulators or hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer.

For LP use, the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used.

This LP tank is equipped with overfill protection. When you refill or trade in your tank, make sure the one you receive also has overfill protection.

If the grill uses LP gas, connect the regulator to the LP tank and check the hose and regulator connections for leaks with a soap and water solution before operating the grill.

Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the connections for gas leaks before each use.

Turn all knobs to OFF then turn on the gas supply.

Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present.

AVERTISSEMENT : IMPORTANT!

Inspecter la canalisation d’alimentation de gaz ou le tuyau avant d’allumer le gaz. S’il existe un indice de coupure, usure ou abrasion, cette canalisation doit être remplacée avant l’utilisation de l’appareil. Tous les régulateurs de pression ou montage de tuyau de remplacement doivent être du type spécifié par le fabricant.

Pour l’utilisation avec le gaz propane, le régulateur de pression et le montage de tuyau fournis avec l’appareil doivent être utilisés.

Ce réservoir de gaz propane est muni d’un dispositif de protection contre le remplissage excessif. Lorsque vous remplissez de nouveau ou échangez votre réservoir, s’assurer que celui que vous recevez a aussi une protection contre le remplissage excessif.

Si le gril utilise du gaz propane, connecter le régulateur au réservoir de gaz propane et vérifier les connexions du tuyau et du régulateur pour les fuites, avec une solution de savon et d’eau avant de faire fonctionner le gril.

Garder une bouteille de vaporisation d’eau savonneuse près du robinet d’alimentation de gaz et vérifier les connexions pour les fuites de gaz avant chaque utilisation.

Tourner tous les boutons à OFF (ARRÊT) ensuite ouvrir l’approvisionnement de gaz.

Ne pas utiliser le gril s’il existe une odeur de gaz.

To light the grill

Allumage du gril

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

Open the lid, push and turn the grill control knob to the LITE position and immediately turn the rotary igniter knob of the spark igniter next to the grill control knob. You will hear a snapping sound. At the same time a spark will be provided at the grill burner.

It may be necessary to turn the rotary igniter knob several times until the burner is lit.

If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn both knobs to OFF and wait 5 minutes, for any accumulated gas to dissipate, before trying again.

If the burner will not light after several attempts the burner can be match lit. Remove the grill rack over the burner(s) you wish to light. If you’ve just attempted to light the burner with the igniter, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face as far away from the grill as possible and pass a lit, long stem match through the lava radiant tray and position it near the burner ports.

Make sure that the match is adjacent to the burner ports. (On 24

″ models, open the lid and use the lighting hole on the left top edge.)Push and turn the control knob, which is centered on the burner you wish to light, to

LITE. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds turn the knob OFF. Wait 5 minutes and try again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, see the Problem Solver in the back of this guide.

NOTE:

• Do not attempt to light the grill if the odor of gas is present. Call for service.

• Always wait 5 minutes before relighting a hot grill.

Toujours garder le visage et le corps aussi loin que possible du gril lors de l’allumage.

Ouvrir le couvercle, appuyer et tourner le bouton de commande du gril à la position LITE (allumage) et tourner immédiatement le bouton d’allumage rotatif de l’allumeur à étincelle, près du bouton de commande du gril. Un bruit sec se fait entendre. En même temps, une étincelle sera fournie au brûleur du gril.

Il peut être nécessaire de tourner le bouton d’allumage rotatif plusieurs fois jusqu’au moment où le brûleur s’allume. Si le brûleur ne s’allume pas en moins de 4 secondes, tourner les deux boutons à

OFF (arrêt) et attendre 5 minutes pour que tout le gaz accumulé se dissipe, avant d’essayer de nouveau l’allumage.

Si le brûleur ne s’allume pas après plusieurs essais, le brûleur peut être allumé par une allumette.

Enlever la grille du gril au dessus du (des) brûleur(s) que vous désirez allumer. Si vous venez juste d’essayer d’allumer le brûleur avec l’allumeur, attendre 5 minutes pour que tout le gaz accumulé se dissipe. Garder votre visage aussi loin que possible du gril et passer une longue allumette allumée à travers le plateau radiant de lave et la placer près des orifices du brûleur. S’assurer que l’allumette soit adjacente aux orifices du brûleur. (Sur les modèles de 24 pouces, ouvrir le couvercle et utiliser le sur le bord supérieur à gauche.)

Using the grill

Grilling hints

The Grill


Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the

HI heat setting for the entire cooking time.

However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside.

Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.

1.

Check to be certain the drip tray is in place.

2.

Light the grill using the instructions in the

To light the grill

section of this guide.

3.

Turn the control knob to HI and preheat the grill for 10–15 minutes. The roll top lid is to be closed during preheating.

4.

Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. The control knob may be set to any position to adjust the heat setting if necessary.

NOTE:

The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer you preheat the grill, the faster the meat browns and the darker the grill marks will be.

• When turning the meat over, always use a spatula as it will not puncture the meat allowing the juices to run out. This will help to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once, as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat after it has been cooked; these procedures have a tendency to dry the meat out.

• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from curling while they are being cooked, slit the fat around the edges at about 2-inch intervals.

To test for doneness, make a small cut in the center of the meat.

• The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness. A steak should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time is affected by the temperature of the meat when you start to cook it, the size and shape of the cut and the kind of meat you are cooking. The degree of doneness desired also affects the time.

• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,

“Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F. means some food poisoning organisms may survive.”

(Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen

Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)

• When defrosting meats it is recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microwave. This in general yields a juicier cut of meat.

• Always ensure that the meat is thoroughly cooked by using a meat thermometer.

(on some models)

Flame height

Range-Top Burners


Some cooking centers are equipped with heavy cast iron burners. Each is rated at 15,000 BTU and has a rotary spark igniter for efficient lighting.

The burner grates are porcelain enamel over cast iron for durability.

Each cooking center comes with a stainless steel cover which doubles as a work surface. When using the grill burners with the work surface in place, be careful as heat can conduct from the grill section and cause the work surface to heat up.

Never attempt to light the range-top burners with the work surface in place.

Cover the range-top burners with the stainless steel cover when not in use.

First remove the burner cover, by lifting up and to the side, or any cooking utensils from the burner grate.

CAUTION:

The burner cover may be hot if the grill burners are in operation.

MISE EN GARDE :

Le couvercle du brûleur peut être chaud si les brûleurs du gril sont en fonctionnement.

Push and turn the control knob to the LITE position and immediately turn the rotary igniter knob (between the rear and front burner knobs) until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass.

If the burner doesn’t ignite wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate then try again.

If the burner will not light after several attempts, wait 5 minutes. The burner can be lit by holding a lit match next to the burner ports and turning the control knob to LITE.

The correct height of the flame depends on the size and material of the pan being used, the food being cooked and how much liquid is in the pan.

• The flame should never extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

• Pans that conduct heat slowly (such as glassceramic) should be used with low or medium flame unless you are cooking with a large amount of liquid.

Correct Incorrect

Note: The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.

14

Rotisserie system

(on some models)

The rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back of the grill using infrared heat.

The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to a 12, 15 or 20 lb. cut of meat or poultry, depending on the model. The actual capacity is limited by clearance and motor torque.

The rotisserie burner (on some models) is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. This intense heat is magnificent for searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.

Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5 minutes.

WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance rotisserie motor is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.

Assembly

The Rotisserie System


On 24

″ models the motor is mounted by sliding it down into place in the metal channel attached to the right side of the grill. The skewer is connected to the motor assembly by placing the pointed end through the motor access hole in the grill and into the motor. The left side of the skewer rests in the grill groove.

On 27

″ models the motor is mounted to a metal channel which attaches to the left side of the grill and is tightened into place with a thumb screw. Ensure that the motor is straight prior to tightening the thumb screw.

The rotisserie motor on 36

″ and 48

″ models is secured down to a cast rotisserie block with the black screw-down knob. The rotisserie block is in turn bolted to the right side panel.

On 36

″ and 48

″ models, the skewer or the rotisserie is attached to the motor assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor and resting the threaded end on the support at the left side (right side on 24

″ and 27

″ models) of the grill.

With the skewer pushed as far as possible into the motor, the grooved skewer bushing should rest on the left side bracket.

The removable black handle should only be in place when handling the skewer. Remove the handle when cooking to allow the lid to close and avoid melting the handle with heat from the range-top burners (on some models).

7.

Use the REAR GRILL control only, for rotisserie cooking.

Basting pan

To load the skewer

24

″ model rotisserie

Basting Pan

The location of the burner allows the placement of the rotisserie basting pan

(included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy.

To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic or spices. Hams are especially good with the addition of pineapple slices and brown sugar to the basting pan.

1.

To load the skewer begin with the handle in place and slide one of the meat holders, with the prongs facing away from the handle, onto the skewer.

2.

Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide the second meat holder with the prongs toward the food, onto the skewer.

3.

Center the food on the skewer. Push the meat holders firmly together. (Some models have grooves on the skewer to indicate the burner position. Use them to position the meat holders.) When cooking foods such as multiple chickens, always place the thickest portion of the food nearer the center of the skewer.

4.

Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may be necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s string to secure any loose portions. Never use nylon or plastic string.

5.

Once the food is secure, insert the skewer into the motor. If needed, remove the grill racks. Place the basting pan beneath the food. It is normal for the skewer to flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.

6.

Use the motor switch (on some models) to turn the rotisserie motor on or off.

17

To light the rotisserie burner

(on some models)

The Rotisserie System


Open the lid. Push the control knob to the

LITE position.

Press the safety valve button, hold in, and begin turning the rotary ignitor button located next to the control knob. It may be necessary to turn the ignitor knob several times until the burner lights. You will hear a snapping sound.

At the same time, a spark will be provided at the safety probe. Once the burner ignites, hold the safety valve button in for about 10 seconds or until the burner remains lit.

This is the only burner on the grill with a safety valve. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.

If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, release the safety valve button and turn the control knob to OFF.

If the ignitor does not function, the burner can be lit by holding a lit match to the burner (with the control knob at LITE and the safety valve button pressed).

Wait 5 minutes before relighting a hot rotisserie burner.

NOTE:

The location of the rotisserie burner makes it susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill burners.

For this reason you should avoid utilizing the rotisserie burner during windy conditions.

As an added precaution we’ve equipped the burner with an automatic safety valve which will not allow gas to flow to the rotisserie burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob on:

1.

The safety valve button is pressed.

2.

The safety probe is sufficiently heated to open the valve.

The smoke flavor tray

(on some models)

The Smoker System


For the 27

″ models, the smoke flavor tray is located directly beneath the rotisserie burner.

It is a stainless steel tray which is designed to hold wood chips or herbs for adding a smoke flavor to foods.

For the 36

″ and 48

″ models, the smoke flavor tray is located above a 5,000 BTU burner. The burner is controlled by a precision brass valve which is capable of being turned down to very low heat levels. The smoker system may be used alone for low temperature roasting and smoking or in conjunction with any combination of other burners.

The tray may also be filled with water to produce steam. Whether smoking or steaming the lid should remain closed as much as possible to maximize the effect.

Smoke flavor tray (36

″ and 48

″ models)

Wood chips

There are many wood chips available for purchase and selection is based on personal taste. The most common wood chips used are mesquite or hickory. Mesquite has a sweeter taste and is commonly used with poultry and seafood. Hickory is best suited for red meats.

Use of oak, cherry, maple, aspen or apple is also common while aromatic herbs like sage, bay leaves, thyme or basil may also be of use.

Always soak the chips in water prior to putting them into the tray. In the beginning you may want to use the HI position to start the chips smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level to prevent them from drying out and flaming.

If the wood chips do flame up, add a small amount of water to extinguish the flame. This should be done carefully through the top of the grill area, or by pulling the tray out slightly.

To avoid steam burns, use caution when adding water to a hot tray. Never completely remove a hot tray.

During extended roasting periods it is normal to add fresh wood chips to the tray several times.

To minimize the possibility of burns do not remove the smoker tray when hot.

To light the smoker burner

(on some models)

Open the lid and remove the smoker tray. Locate the burner visually by looking through the cutout in the valve panel. Push and turn the control knob to the LITE position and immediately turn the smoker rotary ignitor knob (for 36

″ or

48

″ cooking centers) or the rotisserie rotary ignitor knob (for the 27

″ cooking centers) until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner doesn’t ignite, wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate, then try again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, wait 5 minutes then match light using a long stemmed match or lighter through the cut-out in the valve panel.

Once lit, fill the smoker tray and replace.

When using the smoker system in conjunction with the optional infrared rotisserie burner you’ll find it helpful to use the low setting of the smoker burner to minimize the heat rising up to the rotisserie basting pan. Staggering the meat away from the smoker burner also helps.

Grill rack(s)

Care and Cleaning


The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grill. Drip the brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall onto the hot lava rocks or ceramic briquettes and burn or fall into the drip tray (on some models). If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult.

For harder baked-on food particles, remove the grill rack and soak for about one hour in warm water. Lightly scrub with a Scotch Brite® pad.

Drip trays

(on some models)

The full width drip trays will collect grease from the grill section as well as boilovers and spills from the range-top burners (on some models).

Allow the pan and its contents to cool before attempting to clean. Clean the grease from the pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.

Lava rocks

(on some models)

It is not necessary to remove the lava rocks for cleaning. They burn themselves clean during the next cooking operation. Periodically the rocks need to be turned over for a thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and type of food cooked will determine when it is necessary to turn the lava rocks.

If grease can be seen on the top of the rocks or if you get a lot of flare-ups during cooking, the rocks need to be turned over and heated on HIGH for about 30 minutes, longer for heavy soil.

Ceramic briquettes

(on some models)

The layer of ceramic briquettes, under the grill rack(s), will last for many years with proper care.

Burned-on food particles and ash can be emptied off the stainless steel radiant trays when cool by shaking over a waste receptacle.

After emptying the ash from the trays, replace them with the small tray in the back and the large tray in the front. Make sure the briquettes do not cover the holes in the tray.

Chipping or cracking of the briquettes may occur as they may get brittle with age, depending on the frequency of use. This is normal and does not affect the performance.

Do not replace the stainless steel radiant trays with alternates. Should the ceramic briquettes ever need to be replaced, purchase them locally, wherever outdoor cooking centers are sold.

20

Burner grates

(on some models)

Stainless steel

Replacing a rotary igniter

Spider and insect warning

The range-top burner grates are porcelain enamel over cast iron for durability. To avoid burns do not clean a hot grate. They may be wiped while in place with hot, soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry. Never immerse a hot grate in water.

Due to rapid temperature changes the porcelain may pop off the edges of the grates.

Do not be concerned as the base metal, cast iron, soon darkens to blend with the porcelain enamel. Use care when wiping areas where the enamel has popped off. The edges may be sharp.

If you remove the grates for cleaning, care should be taken in lifting them. They are very heavy. Place the grates on a protected surface.

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the stainless steel surface.

Inside and outside stainless steel can be cleaned easily and quickly with a stainless steel cleaner such as Revere Copper and Stainless

Steel Cleaner®.

For hard to clean soil, or film layers of grease, use a stainless steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami®.

Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

Before replacing an igniter perform this simple test.

1.

Remove the drip tray (on some models).

2.

From underneath the valve panel, look upwards and locate the end of the igniter wire, where it is connected. Disconnect the wire and place the metal blade of a screwdriver about 1/8

″ from the terminal of the rotary igniter.

3.

Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good, a spark will jump across to the screwdriver.

If there is no spark, replace the igniter.

If there is a spark, examine the wire of the electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine the electrode for grease and debris or see if the electrode tip is bent. Is the tip sparking to the top of the electrode bracket?

The rotary igniter may be replaced from the front by removing the drip pan (on some models) and reaching behind the valve panel to unplug the igniter wire. Remove the igniter knob and the two mounting screws. (Reverse the procedure to replace.) If removing the valve panel is necessary begin by removing all the control knobs, then remove the 4 corner screws of the valve panel.

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.

The presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects can cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, damaging the cooking center and making it unsafe for use.

You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:

1.

The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.

2.

The grill or range-top burners do not reach temperature.

3.

The grill or range-top burners heat unevenly.

4.

The burners make popping noises.

If blockage exists, clean the burners immediately.

21

Burner removal

(on some models)

Care and Cleaning


Ensure the gas supply is off, the knobs are in the

OFF position and all surfaces are cool before removing a burner.

The grill and range-top burners are cast iron coated with porcelain enamel. Occasionally it will be necessary to remove surface rust to ensure proper performance. Frequency of cleaning will depend on the climate and location and how often you use the cooking center. The walls of the burners are thick so they can withstand many years of use.

To remove the grill burner(s), remove the grill rack(s), then lift out the stainless steel radiant tray(s) with the lava rocks or ceramic briquettes still on it. Remove wire shipping ties if present.

Grasp the burner, pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front. Angle the burner sideways and remove.(24

″ models have two grill burners.)

To remove the range-top burners

(on some models), remove the top grates. Lift out aeration pan from around the burners. Lift and remove the front and rear range-top burners.

The smoker burner

(on some models) can be removed and cleaned by unplugging the igniter wire and lifting out the burner.

To reassemble the burners, replace the burner by sliding the air shutters over the brass orifice, centering it in the hole. It is extremely important to center the burner on the orifice properly.

Be careful not to upset the air shutters’ original position (unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the burner into the cutouts on the support channel and make sure the locating hole in the burner end is seated over the pin in the burner box. Make sure all burners are level and do not rock.

On 24

″ models, to double check if the two burners are properly seated over the brass orifices, you can visually inspect them.

1.

Remove the two outer control knobs.

2.

Remove the two screws underneath the control knobs and the two screws underneath the control panel.

3.

Rotate the control panel forward. (Do not remove it.)

4.

Shine a flashlight in the gap to make sure the burners are over the brass orifices. Replace screws and knobs.

Be sure burner ports are clear and free from debris. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.

Never enlarge the burner ports. Shake out any debris through the air shutter.

Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened out to clear them.

NOTE:

To ensure warranty coverage and proper performance of the grill and range-top burners, monthly inspection and cleaning of all the grill and range-top burner orifices is recommended.
