WARNING
General Installation
Liquefied Petroleum gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane), is highly
flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a
cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and
tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking
connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see the
section titled “LEAK TESTING”).
Portable LP gas grills require a fuel delivery system which is comprised
of a valve [A], a regulator [B] with vent hole [C], an L.P. gas supply
cylinder [D], (Fig. 1). Illustration in Fig. 1 is for description purposes only.

Shutting Off the Grill
WARNING
• Keep the grill area clean and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors, liquids,
and spare L.P. cylinders.
• To avoid the possibility of tipping over the grill, NEVER
place more than 10 pounds on the side table. A filled 4quart aluminum pot weighs approximately 10 pounds.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the L.P. cylinder
enclosure free and clear of debris.
• A barbecue grill becomes hot during use. DO NOT touch
grates, or cooking surfaces.
• Be sure to tighten all hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.)
at least once a year or before each grilling season.
General Use and Correct Burner Flames
Condition The Grill
• Before using the grill for the first time, or after storage, operate
the grill 15 minutes on the high setting with the lid closed, to
burn away oil.
• Once the oil has burned away, check the burner flame per the
next step.
The Burner Flame
• Open the grill lid. The cooking grates should be in place.
• Keep your arms and face away from being directly above the
cooking area. Look through the cooking grates and observe
the burner’s flame below the heat tents.
• Flames should appear similar to the good flame shown in
Fig. 27 and as follows:
• A good flame should be blue with a yellow tip.
• Some yellow tips on flames up to 1 inch in length are
acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
• If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue
may not be completely burned off, or the venturi may be
clogged or may not be properly positioned over the orifices.
Allow the grill to cool before repositioning the venturi over the
valve and orifices.
• Grills that have been in use for a while sometimes begin to
show more yellow flame. A build-up of food deposits, fats
or cooking seasonings can cause yellowing flames.
Clean the burner to remove residue and check for clogged
burner holes or a blocked venturi. Refer to the section titled
“Cleaning the Venturi”.
• Regular use of your grill will actually help keep it operating
more smoothly.
• Each grill may heat differently. Some units will heat somewhat
more to the center and back of the grill. The flavor of grilled
food will improve the more you use the grill and as you
become familiar with it.

Burner Control Setting Tips
• The high flame setting is too hot for direct cooking. The high
flame setting is good for quick searing of meat, then finish
cooking on medium or low flame settings.
• Use the high flame setting with the lid
closed to preheat the grill
for 5 minutes bef
ore cooking and with the lid closed for a maxi-
mum of 5 minutes after
cooking to burn off grease drippings.
• Use a medium flame setting for direct cooking of steaks, pork
chops, chicken and hamburgers.
• Use a low flame setting for roasts.
• Thick steaks will finish with a better texture and more juice if
first seared on high flame setting and then cooked on a low
flame setting.
Safe Grill Operation
• NEVER leave cooking food unattended. Continually observing
the food will help in maintaining an even temperature, conserve
fuel, improve the food’s flavor and lessen flare-ups.
• To open the grill lid, slowly lift the handle to avoid burning in
case of a grease fire flare-up.
• DO NOT expose any part of your body directly above the
cooking area.
Food Preparation Hints
Your grill can cook a variety of foods. For best results, follow these
instructions:
• Trim excess fat from meat and poultry. Slash any remaining fat
to stop curling, but take care not to cut the meat.
• Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed prior to cooking.
• Frozen fish and vegetables will cook without thawing.
• Salt food after
cooking to help prevent drying out the food.
• Brush naturally lean meats with cooking oil or margarine.
• Cook small pieces of tender foods in foil or on special delicatefood cooking grates (see the section titled “Cooking Methods”).
• Apply barbecue, tomato or sugar-based sauces no sooner than
the last 10 minutes of cooking.
• Turn food with tongs or a spatula; piercing food (especially
meat), tends to dry it out.
Grilling Tips and Hints
Direct Method:
• The heat source is directly below the food.
•
Use for browning meat or cooking hot dogs and hamburgers,
but
check food frequently.
• Use for skillet and stir-fry cooking, but limit the amount of oil
and heat to be used.
• Cook roasts, turkey or duck on low heat. Place meat with
water in a foil pan with a corrugated bottom. Replenish water
as needed.
Indirect Method:
• Light only one side of the burner and place food on the opposite
side for cooking.
• Allow food to cook at a lower temperature which increases
tenderness and reduces grease flare-ups.
• It is a good method for cooking foods that burn easily (vegetables,
fish, etc.).
• Cook casseroles in ovenware or foil pans much like
cooking in a conventional oven.
• Also try placing a pan of water above the lit burner side to
help meat retain its juices. Replenish the water as needed.
Cooking Methods
In Case of Grease Fire
Follow These Steps:
1. Shut off the gas at the burner valve(s) and stay away!
2. Allow the fire to burn itself out.
3. Once the fire is out and the appliance has cooled, remove the
disposable cylinder.
4. Clean all parts and inspect for damage. Parts to check for
damage are the L.P. cylinder, regulator, burner valve(s) and
burner(s).
5. If any of the above mentioned components are damaged, seek
replacement from Coleman before operating the grill again.
Locate your nearest service center by calling
1-800-835-3278.
Note:
• Some flare-up adds a smoky flavor and sears food. Excessive
grease fires can cause a potentially hazardous situation and
damage the grill.
• Avoid excessive flare-ups by preheating the grill with the lid
closed for 5 minutes on the high setting to burn off grease from
previous cooking.
• Cook with the lid down and continually monitor cooking food to
avoid grease fires and flare-ups.
• Trimming excess fat from meat will reduce grease fires and flare-
ups. Cook fatty meat in smaller amounts over indirect heat on a
low setting.
• Be sure to follow the instructions in the section titled
“Care,
Maintenance, and Cleaning”
.

Fig. 28
Care, Maintenance and Cleaning
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray is located below the grill and should be cleaned
periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris (Fig. 28).
NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement
weather unless it is covered (cover sold separately). Rain
water can collect inside of the grill, or in the drip tray if left
uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the
grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing
grease and water to spill. We recommend cleaning and
storing the drip tray after every use.
CAUTION
All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the
grill is cool & with the fuel supply turned off at the cylinder.
Disposable propane cylinders should be detached from the
grill during cleaning.
Suggested Cleaning Materials:
• Mild dishwashing liquid detergent • Hot water • Wire brush
• Paper clip • Nylon cleaning pad • Soft brass-bristled brush
• Putty knife • Scraper
Component Cleaning:
• BURNER: Wire-brush loose corrosion from the burner exterior.
Clean clogged gas port holes with an opened paper clip.
Replace corroded or damaged burners that would emit excess
gas.
• STAINLESS STEEL: Clean with any multipurpose (low abrasive,
no phosphorous) metal polish or stainless steel polish and a soft
cloth to prevent marring or scratching the surface. NEVER
USE OVEN CLEANER!
• COOKING GRATES: Clean cooking grates with mild soap and
hot water. Remove stubborn residue with a mild cleanser or
scrub brush. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
• HEAT TENTS: Wipe off grease residue using a cleaning pad
and a brass-bristle brush to knock off residue. Replace heat
tents to their correct position.
• GRILL INTERIOR: Remove grates and heat tents.
Scrape side with tools and remove excess grease and cooking residue.
COOKING GRA
TES
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is
completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue mitt and
scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to
cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the
grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
ST
AINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense
heat given off by the burners, this is normal and not considered
a defect.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of
the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather on the surface
of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn
appearance. For removal, use an non-abrasive oven cleaner in
conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

REPRESENTATIVE ILLUSTRATION
WARNING
Spider’s nests or wasp’s mud inside the venturi may cause
fire at the valve. If a fire occurs, immediately
turn off the
gas supply at the L.P. cylinder valve (see representative
illustration in Fig. 29).
Note:
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside the
venturi tubes. This especially occurs in late summer and fall before
frost when spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gas
flow and cause a fire in and around the burner valves. Such a fire
can cause operator injury and serious damage to the grill. To help
prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect
the venturi tubes often (once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or air
pressure will not
normally clear a spider web.
Fig. 29
Cleaning the Venturi
Steps For Cleaning Venturi:
1. To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory flexible venturi
brush or bend a small hook on one end of a 20-inch long flexible wire
such as the one shown in Fig. 30.
Fig. 30
2. Remove the cooking grates set aside (Fig. 31).

4. Using a screwdriver, remove the self-tapping screws holding
the burner clamps and remove the burners (Fig. 33).
5. Look inside lower end of venturi tubes for nests, webs or mud.
If present, clean as shown in Step 1, Fig. 30.
6. Inspect and clean the burner if needed.
7. Replace the main burners and burner clamps, and position the
burners in the operating position.
8. Make sure the valve orifices are inside the venturi tubes and
the venturi tubes are inside the burner tubes, then tighten all
self-tapping screws (Fig. 34).
9. Reinstall the heat tents and the cooking grates.

CAUTION
A collision with the grill, as with any metal object, could cause
injury. Use care when moving a portable gas grill.
Moving the grill:
• DO NOT move the grill while it is lit or hot, or with objects on
the cooking surface or side tables.
• Clean the grease tray before moving the grill to prevent spills.
• Collapse the grill before moving.
• Move the grill slowly. DO NOT run with the grill behind
you; it could hit you from behind causing injury.
After moving the grill:
• Check all gas connections for leaks that could occur from the
movement.
• Check the venturi tubes to be sure they are still over
the orifices.
Steps to follow before storing grill:
• Clean the grill, including the grease tray.
• Coat the burner lightly with cooking oil to retard rusting.
• For outdoor use only. If the grill is stored indoors, detach the
cylinder outdoors. If left outdoors, remove the cylinder and
cover the grill for protection from the weather. Grill covers may
be purchased from a grill dealer or manufacturer.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Grill will not light when the igniter
button is pushed or has incomplete burner
flame.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder has fuel.
2. Make sure one of the burners is turned on. Allow up to four
seconds for gas flow to ignite.
3. If burner lights with match but not igniter, check the ceramic
electrode position near the burner, the condition of the igniter wire
and its connections. Perform igniter test and replace any
damaged parts.
4. Check for spider webs or insect nest in venturi and clean venturi.
5. Check for misalignment of venturi on orifices. Position venturi
over orifices.
6. Burner ports, orifices or valves have blockage. Clean the
components.
7. Regulator failure; regulator needs to be replaced by an authorized
service dealer.
8. Make sure the regulator and cylinder are properly assembled. See
the section titled “Installing 1 lb.Disposable Cylinders”.
Problem:Yellow flame.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Check for spider webs or insect nest in the venturi and clean
the venturi.
2. New burner may have residual oil which will burn off.
3. Clean off any food residue, grease or seasoning salts on the burner.
4. The venturi may be misaligned and needs to be lined up over
the orifice.
Troubleshooting
(continued)
Problem: Flame blows out on low setting or
has uneven heat distribution.
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Check for spider webs or insect nests in the venturi and clean
the venturi.
