Disconnect LP Gas Cylinder by turning coupling nut on regulator in a counterclockwise direction until regulator is released from threaded LP Gas Cylinder nozzle.
9. Place the protective cap over LP Gas Cylinder nozzle.
10. Re-attach the wire leads to the Igniter Button. Replace Control Panel around flanges at Bowl ends and align bolt holes on each side. Replace and retighten all bolts. (Fig. 1)
Lighting the Grill Using the Pulse-Spark Ignitor
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from an explosion or a fire beneath the grill:
• Inspect and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects or insect nests. Spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the grill’s Venturi Tubes, (Fig 15, page 28) obstructing the flow of gas to the Burner. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the Control Panel and cause a fire beneath the grill, posing the risk of death or serious bodily injury. This is known as a “flashback.”
• Be sure Burners are re-installed properly before using grill.
Should you notice that your Burner(s) are getting hard to light or the flame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the
“How to Clean your Burners” section on page 28, to remove any possible obstructions.
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion:
• Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from gas build-up.
• During failed lighting attempts, or if the Burners go out during operation, turn Control Knobs “Off” to dissipate any accumulation of gas. Wait five minutes before repeating lighting procedure.
• Light each burner from the left before lighting the next burning to prevent gas from accumulating.
1. Open the Hood.
2. IMPORTANT: Make sure Control Knobs are turned “Off.” (Fig. 7)
3. Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counterclockwise until it stops. (Fig. 8)

Check The Flame
The Burners have been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture.
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Check the flame especially after long periods of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked Burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the Burner or Burner opening. See How to Clean the Burners.

Cooking On the Gas Grill
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire, explosion or burn hazard:
• Never use charcoal or lighter fluid in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
• Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstructions to the flow of combustion and ventilation air before each use.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the LP Gas Cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
• Always open the Hood before lighting the LP gas grill.
• Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids. Have a BC fire extinguisher accessible.
Never douse or spray the grill or cooking surfaces with water when hot. Burns from grease or water splatters could occur.
• If your gas grill catches on fire:
- If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the Control Knobs on the Control Panel, then turn them
to the “Off” position.
- If the fire is in one of the hoses, and you can safely reach the LP Gas Cylinder valve, then shut the valve off.
- If the fire involves the LP Gas Cylinder, leave it alone, evacuate the area, and call the Fire Department.
- If there is any type of fire that threatens either personal safety or endangers property, call the Fire Depart-
ment.
• Do not use the grill without Bottom Panel and Grease Pan in place. Check the Foil Pan and Grease Pan for build-up. Empty excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the pan.
• If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the valve, hose, and regulator assembly, perform a leak test before continuing use. See “Performing a Leak Test.”
• Do not operate a gas grill if you have knowledge of or suspect a gas leak.
• Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in use or hot.
• Do not lean your body over the gas grill when lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since the grill will become very hot. Open the Hood carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside.
• Do not allow children to operate or play near a gas grill. Keep children, animals and bystanders out of the grill area. Do not leave grill unattended.
• Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
• When grill is not in use, turn off all grill Control Knobs, LP Gas Cylinder valve, and disconnect the
LP Gas Cylinder.
Grill Cooking (Direct Method)
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion:
• Do not cover more than half (50%) the cooking area if using griddle plates. Full coverage of cooking area will cause overheating below the plates.
• Always make sure the Foil Pan, Grease Pan, and Bottom Panel are empty and are properly installed under the
Bowl before each cooking.
• Do not leave any utensils or cookware on a hot Cooking Grid.
25
Grill Cooking (Direct Method)
Direct Cooking on the Grids:
Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The Burners heat up the Flavor Activators under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flavor Activators below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.
Use the Direct Cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and more.
These foods should be turned once halfway through the grilling time.
To sear meats, place them over Direct High heat for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time.
Hamburgers, steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing. Usually after searing you finish cooking the food at a lower temperature.
For Direct Cooking, preheat the grill with the Main Burners on “High.” Place food on the Cooking Grate, and then adjust all Burners to the temperature required. Close the Hood and lift it only to turn food or to test for doneness at the end of the recommended cooking time.
Cooking on Griddle Plates allows cooking of smaller items that otherwise would fall through the grill. The Burners heat the Griddle Plates directly, which cooks the food on contact. The Griddle Plates sear thin cuts of meat or cook food like eggs that can not be cooked on a grill. They can also be used to heat pans.
CAUTION
Do not preheat Cooking Grids over 5 minutes. The cooking surface coatings could be destroyed.
Use only long-handled heat-resistant plastic or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.
Roasting (Indirect Method)
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside:
• Open the Hood carefully when roasting on grill.
Indirect Cooking (Roasting):
Food is cooked like in an oven under lower heat and/or longer cooking times. These foods require more than 25 minutes grilling time and some are so delicate that Direct Cooking would dry them out or scorch them.
Use the Indirect Cooking Method to cook whole meats such as roasts, ribs, chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of meat, as well as delicate fish fillets. Place the food to bake or roast on the center of the cooking grids inside a metal baking tray or a disposable heavy-gauge foil pan or on a roasting rack.
Preheat the grill with the Main Burners on “High.” Then adjust the Burners lower on each side of the food to the correct temperature and turn “Off” the Burner(s) directly below the food.
Close the hood and cook “indirectly.” Monitor the temperature in the Hood Gauge. If the heat gets too high, turn the
Burner to the “Low” position. Avoid lifting the Hood frequently, as heat is lost and the cooking time is extended.
For longer cooking times, add water to the Roasting Pan to keep drippings from burning. The drippings can be used to make gravies or sauces.
26
Warming Rack
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or flare-up from grease drippings:
• When cooking food on the warming rack, make sure no Burners are on directly under the Drip Pan.
• Clean grease drippings away from grill after each use.
Warming Racks are a convenient way to cook food, keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. To keep foods warm, set the Burners on Low or turn off all that are not needed. When cooking food on the Warming Rack, follow procedures for “Roasting (Indirect Cooking).” Be sure to place a pan or drip tray under the food.
When opening the Hood, be alert of dripping fat from the Warming Rack that could drip onto the back of the grill.
Always check that your Warming Rack is properly fitted before use. Wipe away any dripping grease.
End of Cooking Session
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or burn hazard:
• Allow grill and the grease in the Foil Pan to completely cool before emptying, handling parts, cleaning, moving, or storage.
• Empty the Foil Pan and Grease Pan after each cooking session so excessive grease does not accumulate.
• Never light the LP gas grill without the Foil Pan, Grease Pan, and Bottom Panel in place.
1. After each cooking session, close the Hood and turn the Burners to the “High” position and burn for five minutes.
This will burn off some cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. (Side Burner not affected.)
2. When you have finished using your grill, turn the Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.
3. Turn off the gas at the LP Gas Cylinder valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops.
4. Wait until the grill is cool before closing the Hood, cleaning, or putting on a grill cover.
5. Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
27
Care and Maintenance
!
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of a laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling parts that have sharp edges.
Cleaning the Grill
Bottom Panel, Grease Pan, Foil Pan:
Remove the two bolts on the sides securing the Bottom Panel. (Step 14, page 12) Scrape away food and fat residue from the Bottom Panel. Empty and wash the Foil Pan and Grease Pan with hot soapy water and a cloth. The Foil Pan can be replaced with a standard size foil pan. (approx. 5-1/2” W x 8-1/2” L x 1-1/8” H) from your local grocer or retail store or ordered online at www.AussieGrills.com
Grill Body and Cabinet:
Do not mistake the accumulation of grease and smoke residue for peeling or flaking paint. Remove excess grease and/ or fat with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch painted, porcelain-coated, or stainless steel surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. Wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth.
Warming Rack:
Clean if necessary.
Cooking Grid/Flavor Activators:
Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder.
Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the stainless steel or porcelain-coated surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.
All other Cleaning:
For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not immerse the Gas Controls or
Manifold in water. (Avoid getting water in the Burner holes.)
Burners:
Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the Burners clean with normal usage, provided the Burners are operating correctly. Clean the Burners annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in the Burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the Burners. See How to Clean
the Burners.
After cleaning, replace all the cleaned parts. Re-tighten Bottom Panel bolts.
!
WARNING
To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from an explosion or a fire beneath the grill:
• Inspect and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects or insect nests. Spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the grill’s Venturi Tubes, (Fig 15) obstructing the flow of gas to the Burner. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the Control Panel and cause a fire beneath the grill, posing the risk of death or serious bodily injury. This is known as a “flashback.”
• Be sure Burners are re-installed properly before using grill.
Should you notice that your Burner(s) are getting hard to light or the flame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the
“How to Clean your Burners” section to remove any possible obstructions.
28
In order to prevent flashbacks, the Burner(s) should be removed from the grill and cleaned periodically, especially if the grill has been stored for an extended period of time.
