OPERATING THE GRILL:

WARNING

• Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.

• Never use charcoal, lava rocks or wood briquets in a gas grill. Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal smoking box to contain ash and prevent fires.

• DO NOT cover cooking grates or other components with aluminum foil, as this blocks ventilation and damage to grill or personal injury may occur.

• DO NOT leave your grill unattended while “ON” or in use.

• DO NOT move grill when in use.

• DO NOT use water on a grease fire. Closing the lid to extinguish a grease fire is not possible. Use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

• Never cook on the grill without the grease cup/tray in place.

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:

• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the

burners and cooking surfaces of your grill.

• Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on “HIGH” to burn

off these residual oils.

PREHEATING THE GRILL:

• Prior to each use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces

are at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the main burner control knobs to the “HIGH” position for 5 to 10 minutes. Close the lid during the preheat period.

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS/GREASE FIRES:

• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas

grill. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur. Excessive flare-ups can overcook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm.

• If grease fire occurs while lid is open, leave lid open, turn burner knobs to “OFF”, turn off LP cylinder valve. If possible, relocate food to a different section of cooking grate and allow grease to burn out or smother the flames with baking soda.

• If grease fire occurs while lid is closed, leave lid closed, as a sudden burst of air may increase flames. Turn burner knobs to “OFF”, turn off LP cylinder valve. Allow grease to burn out.

• Never pour water on a grease fire as grease may splatter/spread and could result in bodily injury or property damage.

• If grease fire does not quickly burn out or the fire is growing/spreading, use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Closing the lid to extinguish a grease fire is not possible.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:

• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.

• Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.

• Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the

drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup/tray.

• Clean grill frequently to minimize grease buildup.

INDIRECT COOKING:

• Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your

food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the not use a rotisserie not specifically manufactured for this grill.

•

WARNING

• When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes:

• In the US: The National Electrical Code – ANSI-NFPA No. 70 – Latest Edition

YOUR BRINKMANN DUAL FUNCTION GRILL IS NOW PREHEATED AND READY FOR USE.

SMOKING:

1. Follow the instructions above to build a fire in the firebox.

2. With coals burning well, carefully add wood chunks using long cook ing tongs (see “Fla vor ing Wood” and “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” sections of this man u al.)

3. Place cooking grills on grill support lips.

4. Lower charcoal grate to lowest level.

WARNING: Wear protective gloves or oven mitts when adjusting ash tray or cooking height.

5. Place food in cooking chamber and close lid.

6. The ideal smoking temperature is between 175°F and 250°F. For large cuts of meat, allow approximately one hour of cooking time per pound of meat. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing from grill.

7. Allow grill to cool, then follow instructions in the “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual.

GRILLING/SEARING:

1. Place cooking grill on grill support lips. Position charcoal grate to desired cooking level. Position it low for slow grilling, in the middle for medium grilling or up high for searing meats.

WARNING: Always wear oven mitts/gloves when adjusting cooking levels to protect your hands from burns.

2. Place food on cooking grill and close grill lid. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing from grill.

3. Allow grill to cool, then follow instructions in the “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual.

FLAVORING WOOD:

To obtain your favorite smoke flavor, ex per i ment by using chunks, sticks or chips of flavor producing wood such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite. Most fruit or nut tree wood may be used for smoke flavoring. Do not use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.

Wood chunks or sticks 3” to 4” (7 to 10 cm) long and 1” to 2” (2 to 4 cm) thick work best. Unless the wood is still green, soak the wood in water for 30 minutes or wrap each piece in foil and tear several small holes in the foil to pro duce more smoke and prevent the wood from burning too quickly. A lot of wood is not required to obtain a good smoke flavor. A recommended amount for the Brinkmann Dual Function Grill is 5 to 6 wood chunks or sticks. Experiment by using more wood for stronger smoke flavor or less wood for milder smoke flavor.

Additional flavoring wood should not have to be added during the cooking process. However, it may be necessary when cooking very large pieces of food. Follow instructions and cautions in the “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual to avoid injury while adding wood.

TO INCREASE HEAT:

To increase heat, more wood and/or char coal may be needed. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/ Wood During Cooking” section of this manual. To maintain the temperature, more wood and/or charcoal may need to be added during the cooking cycle.

Note: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want to increase the ratio of wood to charcoal

to increase the cooking tem per a ture. Hardwood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an excellent fuel because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure the wood is seasoned and dry. DO NOT use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.

ADDING CHARCOAL/WOOD DURING COOKING:

Additional charcoal and/or wood may be re quired to maintain or increase cooking tem per a ture.

1. Stand back and carefully open grill lid. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire.

2. Wearing oven mitts/gloves, remove food and cooking grates to access charcoal grate.

WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.

3. When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts/gloves and carefully return charcoal grate to desired

cooking level. Replace food and cooking grates. Ensure that no ashes, coals or embers have fallen to the ground as a fire may start. As a precaution, completely wet beneath and around grill with water to extinguish any fallen ashes, coals or embers.

4. Close the grill lid. Allow food to continue cooking.

PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:

WARNING: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain

on the cooking surfaces prior to grilling as loose bristles may attach to food.

CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:

• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with wire bristle brush and then turning burners to “HIGH” for approximately 5 minutes.

WARNING: DO NOT leave grill unattended when grill is on. Wear oven mitts to protect from burns.

• The heat from the burners will burn off most food/grease residue from grates & heat tents and turn it to an ash like substance which will fall to the bottom of the firebox or grease tray. After the grill cools (approximately 30 minutes) remove grates and heat tents and brush the ash and any grease out of the firebox. Clean and replace grease cup. Inspect the heat tents for damage or deterioration before reinstalling in the grill. (Replacements can be ordered by calling 800-527-0717.)

• Wash the grates and heat tents with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water periodically if desired.

CAUTION: DO NOT allow ash residue to remain on the grease tray or firebox as it could block proper grease

drainage of the grill.

INTERIOR OF GRILL LID:

• Smoke will accumulate inside grill lid and may flake onto your food. Clean the inside of the grill lid with scrub brush and baking soda/water solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior of gas grill lids are not painted.

MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF GRILL:

• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.

• Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.

• Stainless steel surfaces. To maintain your grill’s appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics. Car wax may help protect the exterior finish of your grill.

• Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with a solution of baking soda and water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for stubborn stains.

• Plastic and rubber parts. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, de-greasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

RUST:

• Discoloration, rust and rust pits can occur as a result of high cooking temperatures, acidic marinades, grease fires and exposure to coastal climates or other natural elements.

• Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

• Never use cleaners containing chlorine or store swimming pool supplies or chemicals in cart compartment as chlorine promotes rust.

BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.

• Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in “Burner Assembly/Maintenance” under Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.

• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after extended periods of storage.

• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.

CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.

• Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.

BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE:

• Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they may corrode as a result of the extreme heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.

• DO NOT block ventilation areas in sides, back or cart compartment of grill. Burner tubes can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.

2. Remove cooking grills and heat distribution plates.

3. Remove bolt from each burner “foot” using a screwdriver.

4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

5. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook to run through each burner tube or use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection when using compressed air.

6. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

7. Check burner for damage, if any cracks or holes are found replace burner.

8. Install burner in grill and carefully align crossover channels between burners and orient burners CORRECTLY.

IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.

9. Replace bolts to each burner and crossover channel.

Note: Follow the “Gas Leak Testing” section of this

manual. Relight burners to verify proper operation.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:

WARNING

• Never move a grill when hot or in use.

• Make sure that cylinder valve is closed and burner knobs are in the off position.

• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (filled or empty) under or near the grill.

• Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.

• If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the LP gas supply cylinder.

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

• Cylinders must not be stored in a building or enclosure, including garages and sheds.

• Cylinders must be kept out of reach of children.

BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:

• Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.

• Clean all surfaces. Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.

• If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

• Check and clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder months). Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. See “Burner Assembly/Maintenance” under “Proper Care and Maintenance”.

• If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.
