Portable L.P. Gas Barbecue Cylinders

Liquefied Petroleum gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane), is highly flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see the section titled “LEAK TESTING”).

Portable LP gas grills require a fuel delivery system which is comprised of a valve [A], a regulator [B] with vent hole [C], an L.P. gas supply cylinder [D], (Fig. 1). Illustration in Fig. 1 is for description purposes only.

Cylinder Specifications

rAll L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall 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/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.

rRead labels on the L.P. Gas Supply Cylinder.

WARNING

Your new barbecue grill is equipped with a CGA # 600 regulator [B]. DO NOT attempt to connect this regulator to any other disposable L.P. cylinder not equipped with a mating CGA # 600 fitting [E]. This grill may only be used with the pressure regulator supplied with this unit, or pressure regulators specified by Coleman for use with this unit. Replacement regulators must only be those specified by Coleman. (Fig. 1)

CAUTION

Be certain the disposable cylinder is disconnected when the grill is placed in storage.

General Use and Correct Burner Flames

WARNING

rKeep the grill area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors, liquids, and spare L.P. cylinders.

rTo avoid the possibility of tipping over the grill, NEVER place more than 20 pounds on the side table. A filled 4-quart aluminum pot weighs approximately 10 pounds.

rDO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

rKeep the ventilation opening(s) of the L.P. cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.

rA barbecue grill becomes hot during use. DO NOT touch grates, or cooking surfaces.

rBe sure to tighten all hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.) at least once a year or before each grilling season.

Condition The Grill

rBefore using the grill for the first time, or after storage, operate the grill 15 minutes on the high setting with the lid closed, to burn away oil.

rOnce the oil has burned away, check the burner flame per the next step.

The Burner Flame

rOpen the grill lid. The cooking grates should be in place.

rKeep your arms and face away from being directly above the cooking area. Look through the cooking grates and observe the burner’s flame below.

rFlames should appear similar to the good flame shown in Fig. 34 and as follows:

rA good flame should be blue with a yellow tip.

rSome yellow tips on flames up to 1 inch in length are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.

rIf flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue may not be completely burned off, or the venturi may be clogged or may not be properly positioned over the orifices. Allow the grill to cool before repositioning the venturi over the valve and orifices.

rGrills that have been in use for a while sometimes begin to show more yellow flame. A build-up of food deposits, fats or cooking seasonings can cause yellowing flames. Clean the burner to remove residue and check for clogged burner holes or a blocked venturi. Refer to the section titled “Cleaning the Venturi”.

rRegular use of your grill will actually help keep it operating more smoothly.

rEach grill may heat differently. Some units will heat somewhat more to the center and back of the grill. The flavor of grilled food will improve the more you use the grill and as you become familiar with it.

Grilling Tips and Hints

Burner Control Setting Tips

rThe high flame setting is too hot for direct cooking. The high flame setting is good for quick searing of meat, then finish cooking on medium or low flame settings.

rUse the high flame setting with the lid closed to preheat the grill for 5 minutes before cooking and with the lid closed for a maximum of 5 minutes after cooking to burn off grease drippings.

rUse a medium flame setting for direct cooking of steaks, pork chops, chicken and hamburgers.

rUse a low flame setting for roasts.

rThick steaks will finish with a better texture and more juice if first seared on high flame setting and then cooked on a low flame setting.

Safe Grill Operation

rNEVER leave cooking food unattended. Continually observing the food will help in maintaining an even temperature, conserve fuel, improve the food’s flavor and lessen flare-ups.

English-9

rTo open the grill lid, slowly lift the handle to avoid burning in case of a grease fire flare-up.

rDO NOT expose any part of your body directly above the cooking area.

Food Preparation Hints

Your grill can cook a variety of foods. For best results, follow these instructions:

rTrim excess fat from meat and poultry. Slash any remaining fat to stop curling, but take care not to cut the meat.

rFrozen meat and poultry should be thawed prior to cooking.

rFrozen fish and vegetables will cook without thawing.

rSalt food after cooking to help prevent drying out the food.

rBrush naturally lean meats with cooking oil or margarine.

rCook small pieces of tender foods in foil or on special delicate-food cooking grates (see the section titled “Cooking Methods”).

rApply barbecue, tomato or sugar-based sauces no sooner than the last 10 minutes of cooking.

rTurn food with tongs or a spatula; piercing food (especially meat), tends to dry it out..

In Case of Grease Fire

Follow These Steps

1.Shut off the gas at the burner valve(s) and stay away!

2.Allow the fire to burn itself out.

3.Once the fire is out and the appliance has cooled, remove the disposable cylinder.

4.Clean all parts and inspect for damage. Parts to check for damage are the L.P. cylinder, regulator, burner valve(s) and burner(s).

5.If any of the above mentioned components are damaged, seek replacement from Coleman before operating the grill again. Locate your nearest service center by calling 1-800-835-3278.

Note:

rSome flare-up adds a smoky flavor and sears food. Excessive grease fires can cause a potentially hazardous situation and damage the grill.

rAvoid excessive flare-ups by preheating the grill with the lid closed for 5 minutes on the high setting to burn off grease from previous cooking.

rCook with the lid down and continually monitor cooking food to avoid grease fires and flare-ups.

rTrimming excess fat from meat will reduce grease fires and flareups. Cook fatty meat in smaller amounts over indirect heat on a low setting.

rBe sure to follow the instructions in the section titled “Care, Maintenance, and Cleaning”.

Cooking Methods

Direct method:

rThe heat source is directly below the food.

rUse for browning meat or cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, but check food frequently.

rUse for skillet and stir-fry cooking, but limit the amount of

oil and heat to be used.

rCook roasts, turkey or duck on low heat. Place meat with water in a foil pan with a corrugated bottom. Replenish water as needed.

Indirect method:

rLight only one side of the burner and place food on the opposite side for cooking.

rAllow food to cook at a lower temperature which increases tenderness and reduces grease flare-ups.

rIt is a good method for cooking foods that burn easily (vegetables, fish, etc.).

rCook casseroles in ovenware or foil pans much like cooking in a conventional oven.

rAlso try placing a pan of water above the lit burner side to help meat retain its juices. Replenish the water as needed.

Care, Maintenance and Cleaning

DRIP TRAY

The drip tray is located below the grill and should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris. (Fig. 35)

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, or in 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. We recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.

Fig. 35

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.

CAUTION

All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool & with the fuel supply turned off at the cylinder. Disposable propane cylinders should be detached from the grill during cleaning.

rCOOKING GRATES: Clean cooking grates with mild soap and hot water. Remove stubborn residue with a mild cleanser or scrub brush. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.

rGRILL INTERIOR: Remove grates. Scrape side with tools and remove excess grease and cooking residue.

Cleaning the Venturi

WARNING

Spider’s nests or wasp’s mud inside the venturi may cause fire at the valve. If a fire occurs, immediately turn off the gas supply at the control valve. (see representative illustration in Fig. 36)

Fig. 36	REPRESENTATIVE ILLUSTRATION

Note:

Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside the venturi tubes. This especially occurs in late summer and fall before frost when spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the burner valves. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to the grill. To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect the venturi tubes often (once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air pressure will not normally clear a spider web.

Steps For Cleaning Venturi:

1.To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory flexible venturi brush or bend a small hook on one end of a 20-inch long flexible wire such as the one shown in Fig. 37.

Fig. 37

2.Remove the cooking grates set aside. (Fig. 38)

Fig. 38

3.Using a screwdriver, remove the screws holding the cooktop and set aside. (Fig. 39)

Fig. 39

4.Using a screwdriver, remove the self-tapping screws holding the burner clamps and remove the burners. (Fig. 40)

Fig. 40

5.Look inside lower end of venturi tubes for nests, webs or mud. If present, clean as noted in Step 1, Fig. 37.

6.Inspect and clean the burner if needed.

7.Replace the main burners and burner clamps, and position the burners in the operating position.
