Installation Safety Precautions

• Usegrill, as purchased, only with LP (propane) gas and the

regulator/valve assembly supplied. A conversion kit must be purchased for use with natural gas.

• Grill installation must conform with local codes, or in their absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas

Code,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational

Vehicles,ANSI A 119.2/NFPA1192,and CSAZ240 RV Series,

Recreational Vehicle Code,as applicable.

• All electrical accessories (such as rotisserie) must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or

National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. Keep any electrical cords and/or

fuel supply hoses away from any hot surfaces.

• This grill issafety certified for use in the United States and/or Canada only. Donot modify for use in any other location.

Modification wilt result in a safety hazard.

Using pots larger than 6 quarts in capacity could exceed weight limit of the

side burner shelf, resulting in failure of grill cart components.

Do not attempt to repair or alter the hose/valve/regulator for any "assumed" defect. Any modification to this assembly will void your warranty and create the risk of a gas leak and fire. Use only

authorized replacement parts supplied by manufacturer.

• NEVERstore a spare LP cylinder under or near the

appliance or in an enclosed area.

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80%full.

• If the informationin two pointsabove is not followed exactly, afire causing death or serious injury may occur.

• An over filled or improperlystored cylinder is a hazard due to possiblegas release from the safety

relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.

• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately

get away from the LP cylindedapplianceand call your fire department.

LP Cylinder

*The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the

marking.

,LP cylinder valve must have:

,Type 1 outlet compatible with

regulatoror grill.

,Safety relief valve. ,UL listed Overfill Protection OPDHandWheel

Device (OPD). This OPD safety

feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

,LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include

collar to protect LP cylinder valve.Always keep LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.

LP Tank Removal, Transport And Storage

immediately.There is a major leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding.

Holdcoupling nut and regulator asshownfor properconnection

to LP cylindervalve.

6.Turn the coupling nut clockwiseand tighten to a full stop. The regulatorwill seal on the back-checkfeature in the LP cylinder

valve, resulting in some resistance.An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete the

connection. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.

NOTE: If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulatorand

repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unableto completethe connection, do not use this regulator!

"Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.

Valve Check

•important: Makesure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position.To check

valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring

back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly beforeusing grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to

OFF position.Valves should turn smoothly.

Hose Check

Replace damaged hoses before usinggrill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

General Grill Cleaning

•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiorsof gas grills are not painted at the

specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

•Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive

cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

•Stainless steel surfaces: Tomaintain your grill's high quality

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.

• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is usedto clean any of

the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommendedto

clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

SPIDERWEBS

INSIDE VENTURI

BURNER

Cleaning the Burner Assembly Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner

assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill,

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

2. Remove cooking grates and flame tamers,

3. Remove hitch pinsand carryover tubes from rear of burners,

4. Remove Hitch pin to disengage burner from bracket on firebox,

5. Detach electrode from burnerwith a flat screw driver by pressing the electrode clamp out of the burner through the notch on the clamp, Electrode should remain in firebox,

6. Carefully lift each burner up andaway from valve openings,

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.

(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hangerworks well)

into a small hook. Run the hook through each 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 each burner tube several times.

the burner tube and out the burner 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. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

9. Check burner fordamage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or

holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve

openings. See illustrations at right.

10. Attach electrode to burner.

11. Carefully replace burners.

12. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

13. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace flame tamers and

cooking grates.
