Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the
outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from
harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot
soapy water before and after handling raw meat and
poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-
to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean
platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria.
Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food
temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry
Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC (202)
720-3333, 10:00 am-4:00 pm EST.
How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly
Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often
browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed
meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food
to check for visual signs of doneness.
We recommend food to be at least 40°F before
cooking in your appliance.
Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run
clear and flesh should not be pink.
Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops
can be cooked to 145° F.
NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish
cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful
bacteria.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal
food temperatures.

CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER
If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is
weak, check and clean the venturi’s and burners.
Spiders or small insects are know to create
“flashback” problems by building nests and laying
eggs in the appliance venturi or burner obstructing
the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind
the control panel. This flashback can damage your
appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks
and ensure good performance the burner and venturi
tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when
ever the appliance has been idle for an extended
period of time.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of
burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting
appliance.
1. Turn gas OFF at control knob and LP cylinder
and disengage regulator from cylinder.
2. Remove top cover, cooking basket and cooking
pot, shown A. This will expose the burner from
inside, shown B.
3. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to
remove food residue and dirt.
4. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as
an open paper clip.
5. Disconnect electrode wire underneath appliance,
shown C.
6. Remove screws and disengage control panel
assembly from unit, shown D.
7. Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown
E.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube.
Use the one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook. Run hook through
burner tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible
handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the
brush through burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to
force air into the burner tube and out the burner
ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out
each hole.
8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and
corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any
large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace control panel assembly .
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over
valve opening. See illustration, shown F.
