Preparing the Grill

Electrical Connection

1. Plug the electrical cord located in lower left rear of the cabinet on Cart Models into a GFI equipped outdoor electrical outlet (120VAC 15A GFI). (Note: See Use and Care Manual (page 11 for Built-in models)

2. This plug powers the transformer for the grill surface light and the rotisserie motor jack

Gas Connection (LP / Natural Gas) -

See Use and Care Manual (Utility Requirements page 9) for gas hook up and gas line-purging instructions.

Lighting the Grill

See Use and Care Manual (Page 16) for Lighting Instructions

1. Open the grill hood and keep open when lighting the grill burners

2. Check ignition: Press and hold the ignite button on the right side of the control panel (left side for 27” models) for 5 seconds, listen for a “clicking” sound, if no clicking sound check the battery.

3. Once the grill has been lit following the instructions on page 16, close the grill hood and allow grill to preheat for approximate 10-15 minutes before starting to cook

4. Choose the burner(s) you want to cook on and turn off the remaining burners

TIP: The Temperature Gauge located in the grill hood (except 27” models) measures the ambient temperature of the air under the closed grill hood and does not indicate grill surface temperature. Grill grates are approximately 200 ° F hotter than the reading on the Temperature Gauge.

5. Open the grill hood and adjust the burners to the desired cooking setting

6. Begin to cook keeping hood open for best grilling results for small items

7. Grilling with the hood closed creates an oven effect and is good for large items and indirect cooking.

Cooking with the Rotisserie

Unpack the Motor

1. Remove motor from carton and slide onto mounting bracket located at left side of grill.

2. Remove motor electrical connecting wire.

3. Plug one end into jack in motor.

4. Plug other end into jack on left side of grill just below light switch.

Assemble spit rod

1. Locate spit rod handle and screw onto threaded end of spit rod. Load one forked meat holder onto the spit rod, prongs facing away from the handle and tighten thumbscrew. On a flat surface insert spit rod into the center of the meat and push through meat until it is centered on the spit rod.

2. Place second forked prongs into the meat and secure the meat by pushing the prongs together.

3. Further tighten with wing (Note: Use pliers if necessary) It is sometimes necessary to tie meats or poultry to hold any loose bits of meat together.

4. Use only cotton butchers string (Important: Do not use plastic or nylon string)

5. Place pointed end of spit rod into the motor opening and rest other end in slot on right hood side piece. Ensure shoulder of spit rod is inside the groove.

Lighting the rotisserie burner

See Use and Care Manual (Page 16) for Lighting Instructions

1. Grill surface burners should be off for rotisserie cooking

2. Select a rotisserie speed on the motor that is best suited for your food item and turn the motor on

3. Meat should be centered and balanced on the rotisserie spit rod for efficient cooking.

4. Use a drip pan under the meat to catch any juices

5. Keep hood closed when cooking with the rotisserie

Using the Smoker

1. The smoker drawer can be used with the grill when low temperature cooking, rotisserie cooking or indirect cooking

2. For maximum smoke flavoring, soak wood chips in water for 30 to 60 minutes before using

3. Pull the smoker drawer out from the control panel to load with wood chips

4. Use small amounts of presoaked (wet) wood chips at a time and heat slowly for maximum flavor release

5. To turn on the smoker burner (30”, 42” and 54” models only), press in control knob and turn counterclockwise to the

“LITE” position. (Note: 27” and 36” grill models utilize heat from the brass burner closest to the smoker drawer)

6. Press and hold the ignite button on the right side of the control panel for 5 seconds

7. Start the smoking process with control knob set at high for 5 minutes

8. Turn control knob clockwise to the desired setting (Note: Lower settings will keep wood chips from burning too fast)

9. Exercise caution when removing the smoker tray to add more chips – It will be very hot!!
