8. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.

Lighting Your Grill

Danger: Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not light, may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.

WARNING: Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.

Main Burner

1. Open lid while lighting burners.

WARNING: Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make` sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.

2. All valves must be in the “OFF” position.

3. Open cylinder valve.

4. Ignite only the burners you wish to use, using the same method for each:

Push desired burner valve knob and rotate slowly about 1/4 counterclockwise until a click is heard. The burner should light. If the burner does not light, return the valve knob to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure. After burner is lit, repeat the procedure with any other burner desired.

5. Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.

Using the Lighting Stick to Light the Main Burners

1.

Light a match by inserting it into the end of a lighting stick.

2. Once lit, place the flame through the hole under desired burner on grill body to reach the burner ports.(See diagram to right.)

3. Press the valve knob and rotate it counterclockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position. The burner should light immediately. If more than one burner is desired, repeat the procedure 2-3 until all desired burners are lit.

4. Adjust burners to the desired cooking temperature.

Far Right Side Burner

Excess flow safety valve reset procedure

●

The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However, unsafe

● practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.

A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.

●

This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a

Natural Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".

●

To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully performed, please carefully follow these instructions:

1. Close the LP tank valve.

2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.

3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.

4. Open the lid of the grill.

5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.

6. Wait at least 1 minute.

7. Turn burner control knobs OFF.

8. Wait for at least 5 minutes.

9. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank.

10. Slowly turn the LP tank valve ¼ turn at a time and have the valve all the way open.

11. With the lid open: For grill with ignition button: turn on only ONE front burner control knob to the HIGH position. Ignite the grill by pushing the ignition button. For grill with an automatic ignition: Push down the control knob you want to light, turn counterclockwise until you hear the ignition click.

12. After the first front burner is lit, turn on the other control knob(s) to the HIGH position. **If you have more than two burners, turn them on only ONE AT A TIME.

13. When all front burners are lit, close the grill lid.

14. Wait for 10-15 minutes; the temperature should reach 400 – 450°F

WARNING: The cylinder valve always has to be above the horizontal position, for the cylinder to have vapor withdrawl

only.

Operation Instructions for Rotisserie use on a grill equipped with rotisserie burners*:

IMPORTANT: If your grill is equipped with a rotisserie burner, only that burner should be used for cooking when the rotisserie is mounted and in operation. The main burners on the grill must be turned to the off position when the rotisserie burner is in use.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the rotisserie burner and the main burner at the same time while rotisserie is in use. Do not use side burners when the rotisserie is in use to prevent burns.

1. Slide one of the meat prongs onto the rod (prongs toward the food). Center the food on the rod, followed by the other meat prongs. Then push the meat forks firmly together. Tighten the thumbscrews. It may also be necessary to wrap food with butcher’s string, (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure loose portions.

2. 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.

3. Check for clearance with the cooking grates. The grates can be removed if additional clearance is required. IMPORTANT: If grates are removed, make sure food is not touching the burner(s).

4. Place a shallow drip pan underneath the food to catch drippings and make for easier cleanup.

5. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position to start the rotisserie motor. To begin, turn burners onto the lowest setting.

6. Check for constant speed of the rotisserie rod. If the rod does not turn at a constant speed, reposition the food on the forks and adjust the weight so it is balanced on the rod. An unbalanced rotisserie rod will damage the motor.

7. Check food frequently and adjust burner temperature based on observations. This will require some experimentation as each grill has different heating and cooking characteristics.

Operation Instructions for Rotisserie use without a rotisserie burner:

NOTE: Do not attempt to use rotisserie on a two (2) burner grill because of insufficient heat from a single burner and difficulty in balancing the rotisserie rod.

Follow steps as outlined above except do not use the main burners directly below the food on the rotisserie rod. Using these burners will burn the food and may cause dangerous flare ups.

Operation Instructions for Indirect Cooking:

Indirect cooking can be used for many different kinds of foods, especially when the food may contain a lot of fat or have an oil-based marinade that may cause flare ups. Delicate foods that cannot withstand direct heat are also good choices, particularly vegetables. Do not attempt to use indirect cooking methods on a grill with fewer than 2 burners.

1. Place food on the cooking grate or in a wire basket on the grill. The food can either be placed in the center on the grates (using the burners on either side) or the food can be placed on one side of the grill and the burner on the opposite side would be used.

2. Check the food frequently and adjust the temperature based on observations. This will require some experimentation as each grill has different heating and cooking characteristics.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Care and Maintenance

IMPORTANT

Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.

Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.

Cleaning

Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up. Clean the grill before and after cooking is recommended.

Recommended cleaning materials -

Mild dishwashing liquid detergent Hot water

Nylon cleaning pad Wire brush

Paper clip Putty knife/scraper

Compressed air

DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.

Outside surfaces

Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution to clean. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Inside surface

If the inside surface of the grill lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked on grease has turned to carbon and is flaking off.

Clean thoroughly with a strong solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse with water and allow it to completely dry.

Interior of grill bottom – Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with a dishwashing detergent and hot water solution. Rinse with water and let dry.

Cooking Grates – The porcelain grates have a glass-like composition that should be handled with care. Use a mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non-abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn stains. Rinse with water.

Heat Plates – Clean residue with wire brush and wash with soapy water. Rinse with water.

Grease Cup – Periodically empty the grease cup and clean with a dishwashing detergent and hot water solution.
