Gas Requirements

GENERAL INFORMATION

Always have a qualified service technician perform difficult conversions or modifications.

20

Gas Requirements

L.P. GAS INSTALLATION

Amana™Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with

the grill or a replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies specified by Amana™).

This assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.

LP hose/ regulator supplied with complete grill and cart.

(Type 1 connector)

L.P. TANK INFORMATION

Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.

L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire or possible injury.

The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CSA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill protection device, OPD, on it.)

The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of

Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “ Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous

Goods.”

L.P. TANK USE

• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to insure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.

• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “ OFF” position.

• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.

• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.

• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.

• Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill.

21

Pre Operation Leak Testing

GENERAL INFORMATION

Although all internal gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.

Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.

TESTING

1. Turn off the burner control knobs.

2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left) two (2) rotations to open.

3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear, there is no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.

4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.

5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the control knobs back off.

6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator.

Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is replaced.

Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected.

NOTE: When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections, including the side burner. A slight leak in the system can result in a low flame, or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.

NOTE: If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas company or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. If necessary, replace the faulty part with the manufacturer’ s recommended replacement part. A slight leak could cause a fire.

22

Lighting the Grill

BEFORE LIGHTING

Using the Grill

GRILL LOCATION

Do not use the grill in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area. Never operate the grill in enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup, which could result in injury or death. Place the grill on a level surface.

Avoid moving the grill while it is operation.

NOTE: The grill will operate best if it is not facing directly into the wind.

Clearance to combustible construction - A minimum of 12” from the sides and back must be maintained from the gas grill above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction.

Clearance to non-combustible construction - A minimum of 6” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the lid to fully open.

Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.

GENERAL RULES

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking!

1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.

2. Light the grill burners using the instructions provided in this manual.

3. Turn the control knobs to desired temperature “ High, Medium, or Low” and preheat the grill for

10 minutes before cooking.

4. Adjust heat settings to meet your cooking needs for desired results.

5. Allow grill to cool down, wipe off any splatters or grease and clean the drip tray as needed.

6. Do not put a cover on the grill while it is still hot as it could start a fire.

Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.

24

Using the Rotisserie

The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods, this intense heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.

Remove the warming rack from the grill when using the rotisserie to prevent warping from the intense heat of the infrared unit.

NOTE: The rotisserie spit rod is centered between the grill hood and the burners. It may be necessary to remove the grates and flavor grids when cooking larger portions of meat on the rotisserie. This is by design, since this configuration gives you the most possible room above and below the rod for larger pieces of meat.

Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5 minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 12 lbs. of food. The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of the grill. Make sure the rotisserie motor is completely seated on the bracket prior to operating. Make sure the rotisserie cord is away from any hot surfaces.

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 this plug.

ATTACHING THE ROTISSERIE

The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of the grill. (See Fig. 53)

With the rotisserie motor in place and plugged into an electrical outlet, it is now ready to operate. Slide one of the meat forks onto the rod (prongs facing away from the rounded end). Push the rod through the center of the food, then slide the second meat fork onto the rod (prongs toward the food). Center the food to be cooked on the rod, then push the meat forks firmly together. Tighten the thumb screws. It may also be necessary to wrap food with butcher’ s string, (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure loose portions. (See Fig. 54)

Once the food is secure, insert the pointed end of the rotisserie rod into the motor assembly and rest the other end on the support on the right-hand side of the grill.

(If needed, remove the cooking grates for more room).

Turn the power switch to the “ On” position to start the rotisserie motor.

NOTE: Remove the rotisserie when not in use. Store the unit indoors when not in use. Remove warming shelf when using rotisserie.

If the igniter does not function, the burner can be lit by holding a lit match to the burner while the control knob is turned counter clockwise to “ HIGH” . (See Fig. 56)

NOTE: After the first use the stainless steel around the burner will darken. This is a normal reaction of premium stainless steel to heat and is not a defect.

The infrared panel will also darken after initial use.

This is also a normal occurrence.

Fig. 56

NOTE: Do Not operate the main burners and infrared back burner at the same time. This can cause warping of the roll top grill hood.

SIDE BURNER LIGHTING

Push and turn the side burner control knob to the

“ HIGH” position and immediately press and hold the electronic igniter button. You’ ll hear a snapping sound. It may be necessary to hold the electronic starter button for about 4 seconds. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to the “ OFF” position and wait 5 minutes before trying again. Repeat above steps to light remaining burners. (See Fig. 57)

MATCH LIGHTING OF THE BURNER

If by chance the electronic igniter does not light the burner, the burner may be lit with a match. Keep your face as far away from the burner as possible and place a lit, long stem match through the spaces in the grate to the ports of the burner.

Position the match near the burner ports and push and turn the control knob to the “ HIGH” position.

Care and Maintenance

DRIP TRAY

The drip tray located below the grill, inside the cart, should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.

Note: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.

Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover sold separately). Rain water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.

COOKING GRATES

The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.

STAINLESS STEEL

After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.

Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn appearance. For removal, use an non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.

Note: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

Note: Always keep your grill covered when not in use.

IGNITER ACCESS

(UNDER SIDE BURNER SHELF)

To remove igniter, unscrew igniter push button and locking nut from front panel of the side burner and igniter will fall out through the bottom

REAR INFRARED BURNER

Light and burn the rear infrared burner at least once a month to ensure there is not a build-up of debris or grease on the burner. This will ensure the ceramic burner will continue to operate as it should.

PORCELAIN PARTS

Certain parts of your Grill have a porcelain coating. Porcelain is a glass-based product, and is highly durable to standard wear and tear. However, porcelain is sensitive to concussive blows, which can create interlaced micro-fractures, or “ spider-webs.” Please take care not to strike any porcelain covered parts with solid objects, drop them, or create any other concussive blows. These interlaced micro-fractures are common and may lead to minor chipping. Neither the chipping nor the interlaced micro-fractures will adversely affect the performance or your grill, and are not covered under the warranty for porcelain parts.

Troubleshooting Your Grill

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

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

• The smell of gas.

• Flames appearing mostly yellow. (some yellow at the tips is OK)

• The grill will not get hot enough.

• Burners make a snapping noise.

• The grill heats unevenly.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spider and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.

This is very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the grill and remove any spiders, insects and webs at least once a year to reduce this risk.

BEFORE CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE

If the grill does not function properly, use the following checklist.

PROBLEM

Grill will not light when the igniter button is pushed.

SOLUTION

Is your gas supply turned on ?

28

Check your igniter battery and replace if needed.

Check for loose wire connections to the igniter or electrodes.

Check to see if debris is blocking the electrodes.

Troubleshooting Your Grill

PROBLEM

Grill will not light with a match or low heat with dial set to "High" position.

Flame is erratic

SOLUTION

• Is your gas supply fully turned on?

• If this is an L.P. grill is there gas in your tank ? Check your gas level.

• If this is an L.P. grill, shut off gas supply, disconnect gas line at tank, reconnect the line to the tank.

• Make sure all the knobs are in the off position, then open the gas supply valve on the L.P. tank very slowly

1/4 turn, then open fully (at least two full turns). Check flame height again.

• Check to insure the gas supply line or hose is not kinked.

• If only one burner appears low, check and clean the burner ports if clogged or dirty.

• Check for leaks.

Note - Pre-Heating time can take from 5 to 10 minutes.

• Check gas connection

- look for kinked hose.

- make sure gas supply valve is fully open.

• Gas level may be low.

• Grill may be in need of cleaning.

Flare-ups

Burner flame is mostly yellow or orange, possibly in conjunction with smell of gas.

• Check flavor grids and cooking grates for excess food or grease build-up.

• Ensure grill is not placed directly in the path of wind.

• Be sure drip tray is clean, (do not use aluminum foil on drip tray.)

Note: Some flare-ups may be inevitable if cooking greasy foods.

• Check the burner inlet for obstructions. Particularly at air inlets for each burner.

• Grill may be in an area that is too windy.

Cart door does not align properly with cart

• Loosen the four 1/2” bolts under the grill hood that hold grill to cart. Slide grill head left or right as needed until door is aligned properly. Retighten bolts.

WARNING: Move grill head gently to the left or right on the cart! After the four bolts have been loosened, the grill is not attached to the cart and could fall, causing damage or physical injury.
