GENERAL WARNINGS

WARNING

LP GAS CYLINDER (NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS GRILL)

The LP cylinder is available for purchase at the same location the grill was purchased.

The LP (Liquid Propane) gas cylinder specifically designed to be used with this grill must have a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity incorporating a Type 1 cylinder valve and an over-filling protection device (OPD).

• This grill is designed to fit Worthington, Manchester or SMPC brand 20 lb. (9.1 kg) cylinders.

Other brand DOT cylinders may fit this grill if the cylinder has similar dimensions of the top and bottom rings.

• DO NOT connect this grill to an existing #510 POL cylinder valve with Left Hand threads. The

Type 1 valve can be identified with the large external threads on the valve outlet.

• DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding this capacity.

• DO NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION:

The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with:

All applicable local codes, or in the absence of local codes, either:

• National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54

• Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1

• Natural Gas Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1 (Canada)

• Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.2 (Canada)

To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company. This grill was not intended to be connected to a natural gas supply line. If an external electrical source is utilized, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 22.1.

• FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as a garage,

shed or breezeway.

• Use your grill OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to

prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. We recommend your grill be situated at least 10 feet (3.1 m) from buildings. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper ventilation and may increase the risk of a fire and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury.

• Maintain a minimum clearance of 36 inches (91 cm) between all sides of grill, deck railings,

walls or other combustible material. DO NOT use grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction.

• DO NOT use or install this grill in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boat.

The cylinder must also be equipped with:

• A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.

• A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is obtained.

• An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.

• A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.

• A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

• A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).

IINNSSTTAALLLLIINNGG TTHHEE LLPP GGAASS CCYYLLIINNDDEERR OONNTTOO TTHHEE GGRRIILLLL::

1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.

2. Place the cylinder into the tank holder in the bottom of cabinet.

3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening faces the side burner, and so that the hose is not kinked or damaged.

4. Fully tighten the cylinder clamp underneath tank holder to secure tank.

5. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only when cylinder is at rest in tank holder.

HHOOSSEE AANNDD RREEGGUULLAATTOORR::

Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:

1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a positive connection to the valve has been made.

Note: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any

connection is made or removed.

2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to 150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and dispose of properly. A replacement regulator assembly can be purchased by contacting customer service at 800-527-0717. The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before using your grill again.

3. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device is activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.

••

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

PPRREEHHEEAATTIINNGG TTHHEE GGRRIILLLL::

••

Prior to 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 10 to 15 minutes. Close the cover during the preheat period.

CCOONNTTRROOLLLLIINNGG FFLLAARREE--UUPPSS::

••

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of 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 close the lid and turn off the main burners until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.

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 screw 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 and flame port several times.

Note: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 6.

6. Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

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

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT::

Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.

9. Orient burners CORRECTLY by aligning screw hole in burner to the left as shown.

Note: Make sure burner tubes align evenly between

crossover channels.

10. Replace screw on each burner and follow the "Gas Leak Testing" section of this manual. Relight burners to verify proper operation.

11. Replace heat distribution plates and cooking grills.

• 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 a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank outdoors in a well ventilated area out

of direct sunlight.

• Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one

month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.

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

may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252 or 800-527-0717.

Your grill's serial number and model number, and the contact information for Brinkmann Customer Service, are listed on a silver label found beneath the control panel, on the back of the grill or on the side of the grill body, under the side shelf.

These questions and answers are for your general knowledge, and may not be applicable to your model grill.

Always follow lighting instructions as listed on the control panel or in this manual. Also check these

causes:

• Check LP gas supply.

• Check to ensure all gas connections are secure.

• The igniter AA battery may need replacing.

• Ignition wires may be loose. Remove the battery, inspect the igniter junction box found behind the control panel and connect any loose wires.

• Spark electrode tips may need repositioning. With the gas supply closed and control knob set to the "OFF" position, press the igniter button and have another person watch for the presence of a spark at the electrode tips. The gap between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be about 3/16". If the electrode tip needs to be adjusted, bend it to the appropriate gap distance.

• Check that the end of each burner venturi tube is properly located over its gas valve orifice fitting.

• There may be an obstruction in the gas line. To correct this, remove LP gas hose / regulator or natural gas fuel line from your grill. Open gas supply for one second to test for obstruction. If no obstruction is present, reconnect fuel line. If the fuel line is blocked, replace with a new hose / regulator assembly.

• If an obstruction is suspected in the hose / regulator assembly, orifice or gas valves call Brinkmann Customer Service at 800-527-0717.

You need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator's flow limiting device. Opening the cylinder valve all the way or too quickly triggers the regulator’s flow limiting device to shut down the gas flow, which prevents excessive gas flow to your grill. Note: This procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill:

Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect the short-term performance of your grill. However, weathering and extreme heat can cause a stainless steel lid to turn a bronze color. This is discoloration, not rust, and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

Smoke, weathering and high heat can cause a stainless steel grill lid to turn bronze in color. This is not to be confused with rust and is not a product defect. Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel as well as cooking oils and a dirty grill lid can also encourage discoloration if the lid is not cleaned prior to grill use. After your grill is assembled, remove the protective PVC film from your grill lid and use a stainless steel cleaner and soft cloth to remove residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside of your grill lid. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial cleaning, routine cleaning to remove dirt, grease and oils will help discourage lid discoloration.

Most gas grills are manufactured to exact specifications and are certified for either propane gas or natural gas use only. However, some models can be converted safely with conversion kits available for specific models. Contact Brinkmann Customer Service at 800-527-0717 to see if your grill can be converted.

U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and LP gas tanks. When regulations were changed, the LP gas tank fittings were updated to ensure compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the hose / regulator supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002, all LP gas tanks sold must include an "OPD" overflow protection device. This internal device prevents the LP gas tank from being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve cannot be refilled.

The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is normal and will not interfere with the operation of your grill. If the humming noise is loud and excessive, you need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator flow limiting device following the Regulator Resetting Procedure under Connecting LP Cylinder and Hose/Regulator to Grill. This procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help, refer to your owner’s manual or call Brinkmann Customer Service at 800-527-0717.
