WARNING!

When in use, portions of this appliance get hot enough to cause severe burns. Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in an area where the appliance is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand, or play on or around the Grill or Side Burner at any time.

IMPORTANT!

Improper use or installation is dangerous. Carefully follow these instructions.

When properly cared for, your Performance Series™ grill or side burner will give you years of safe and reliable enjoyment. However, extreme care must be taken since this appliance produces intense heat, increasing the risk of accident potential. When using the grill, basic safety practices must be followed, including the following:

To reduce the risk of fire, burns, or other injury, read this Use and Care guide thoroughly. Begin by ensuring proper installation and servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill or side burner unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other service must be referred to a qualified Factory Authorized Technician, call us at 1-866-402-45600 for details.

DO NOT store items of interest to children in or around the grill or

side burner. Never allow children to use the Performance Series™ grill or side burner.

NEVER let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come into contact with or come too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

DO NOT heat unopened food containers as a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst

NEVER lean on an open grill or side burner. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are pushing the ignition button when you attempt to light the burner.

DO NOT touch the grill grates (racks) or side burner grate, or any item in the interior cavity or surrounding area of the appliance when burners are on. These areas become extremely hot and could cause severe burns.

GREASE is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.

DO NOT line grill or side burner grates with aluminum foil. This may severely disrupt combustion airflow or trap excessive heat in the controlled area. This may result in melted knobs and/or igniters, and damage to the lighting system

TAKE CAUTION when cleaning the grill or side burner. Avoid steam burns:

Do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean any surface while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.

BE SAFE! 3

BE SURE all control knobs are in the OFF position and grill or side burner is cool prior to using any aerosol cleaner on or around it. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

ALWAYS use dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. DO NOT let potholders touch hot portions of the Side Burner grate or burner.

DO NOT operate the grill or siide burner under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated area. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

DO NOT use the grill or side burner in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for Outdoor Use Only!

KEEP ALL electrical cords away from the heated areas of this appliance.

BEGIN by ensuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions provided with this product. Have your grill or side burner installed by a qualified technician. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut off valve is located, so that you know where to shut off the gas to the grill.

IF YOU SMELL GAS, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “ON” position, and this must be done only by a qualified technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE REGARDING LP TANKS:

Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill or side burner beyond cylinder filling capacity.

This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition.

“Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tank’s pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:

1.When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total filling capacity.

2.If you own or use an extra tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should never store it near or under the grill unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source.

BE SAFE! 4

WARNING!:

Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING!:

NEVER use the grill in windy conditions.

If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to specific clearances listed.

IMPORTANT:

Never use a dented or rusty LP tank.

A NOTE ON CLOTHING:

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

A NOTE ON COOKWARE:

Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

IMPORTANT:

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!:

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition that can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.

please do this!

When using the open top burners, always use flat-bottomed utensils large enough to cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing. Position handles inward, away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with unintentional spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movements of the utensil when turning or stirring food. For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodically for optimum performance.

Keep the Performance Series (TM) grill covered

when not in use. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the grill. If the grill has not been used for an extended period of time (over winter, for example), the unit should be checked for gas leaks and obstructions in the burner. Thoroughly clean the Performance Series™ grill on a regular basis.

Only use the Performance Series™ grill with the type of gas specified on the rating plate. To change from LP gas to natural, a factory conversion kit is available for

purchase (see your Capital authorized dealer for details)

Please inspect the burner(s) at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions are present:

•The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.

•The grill does not reach temperature.

•The burner(s) makes popping noises.

Verify the type of gas to be used, either LP (propane), or Natural gas, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply.

NEVER connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance!

An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer-supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and the National Fuel gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988.

All pipe sealants must be an approved type.

All gas connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-1988. Gas conversion kits are available from the factory. When ordering gas conversion kits, please have the model # and gas type (natural or LP) available from your grill.

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa). The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. 1a-1988. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the standard Can 1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation

code for gas burning appliances and equipment) and local codes.

NATURAL GAS HOOKUP:

Connection: 1/2” NPT male. Operating Pressure: 4.0” W.C. Supply Pressure: 5” to 14” water column. If in excess of 14” W.C. a step down regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility

company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size or run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP gases.

TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL:

Assemble as shown (Fig.1). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT. Use second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR)

Grills and side burners orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.

Connection: 1/2” NPT male with a 3/8” Flare adapter (included). LP hose with a quick disconnect and fittings are included. Operating Pressure: 10.0” W.C.

To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve after each use and during transport of the tank or unit (see Fig. 2). Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not over-tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve “ON” and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HI” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge before attempting to light the burners.

LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:

A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.

NOTE:

When an LP unit is directly attached into an LP house system, the step down regulator MUST be used to reduce the supply pressure to a max. 14” W.C. and min. 11” W.C. to the grill regulator.

GENERAL:

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING:

Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. The valve panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings. First, remove the knobs. Next, remove the drip pan tray to access the screws that affix the front panel to the unit. Using a screwdriver, remove the screws. Lastly, gently pull the panel downward and out, making sure that you are not pull out the wires to the ignition system and lights. Unplug the wires from the ignition module and the back of the ignition button. Remove the screws which hold the service panel in place.

TO TEST:

Make sure that all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe

To check rotis burner and safety valve, the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections located behind the service panel. If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas company, or the dealer from whom you purchased the grill. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the Grill. Substitution can void the warranty.

Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. (See Fig. 3 and 4)

locating grill	8

GENERAL:

The grill is designed for easy placement into non-combustible masonry enclosures. For non-combustible applications the grill drops into the opening shown in Fig 5 and hangs from its side flanges. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom.

LOCATION:

When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas

without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.

IMPORTANT:

A minimum of 12” clearance from the sides and a minimum of 6” from the back must be maintained from the grill above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction. See Fig 6 on next page.

NOTE: For combustible enclosures grills MUST be installed with an insulated jacket! Use of insulated jacket requires alternate cutout dimensions.
