ASSEMBLY, ENSAMBLAJE, ASSEMBLAGE
CAUTION: Although we make every effort to ensure that the assembly process is as easy and as safe as possible, it is inherent with fabricated steel parts that corners and edges can cause cuts if improperly handled during assembly procedures. Be careful while handling any parts during assembly. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT HANDS BE PROTECTED WITH A PAIR OF WORK GLOVES.

PRECAUCIÓN: Aunque hacemos todo lo posible para que el proceso de ensamblaje sea tan fácil y seguro, es imposible evitar que, con las partes fabricadas de acero, las esquinas y los bordes causen cortes si no son usados apropiadamente durante el proceso de ensamblaje. ES MUY RECOMENDABLE QUE LAS MANOS SEAN PROTEGIDAS POR GUANTES DE TRABAJO.
ATTENTION : Bien que nous fassions tous les efforts possibles pour s’assurer que le processus d’assemblage soit aussi facile et sécuritaire que possible, il est inhérent que la fabrication de pièces métalliques laissent des coins et des bords tranchants qui puissent causer des blessures lors de la manipulation incorrecte pendant les procédures d’assemblage. Soyez prudent lors de la manipulation de toute pièce durant l’assemblage. IL EST FORTEMENT RECOMMANDÉ DE PORTER DES GANTS POUR PROTÉGER VOS MAINS.

INSTALLATION Natural Gas Grills
24”
Locating Your Grill
• Your Ducane® Gas Grill is manufactured for outdoor use only! Any grill, charcoal or gas, produces carbon monoxide while in operation and the gas should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined area. Never operate this grill inside your home or recreational vehicle or any enclosed area.
• When locating your grill, choose a safe outdoor location away from flammable or combustible surfaces and out of traffic paths. Ducane® strongly recommends a 24” clearance to combustible surfaces.
• Consult your local codes for possible additional restrictions on location or operation of your grill.
• As your grill uses gas, it requires air to burn properly. Do not locate your grill in such manner or as to obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the grill.
• When possible, adjust your grills’ position to reduce the likelihood of wind blowing onto it.
CAUTION: Never operate your grill under any overhead com-
bustible construction.
CAUTION: This grill is not intended to be installed in or at-
tached to a recreational vehicle. It is also not intended to be installed in or on a boat.
WARNING: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other ap­pliance. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
Assembly
Make sure your grill is assembled properly. Detailed assembly instructions are packed with each grill giving specific assembly procedures for each model. Follow these in­structions carefully to ensure the correct and safe assembly of the grill.
CAUTION: Although we take every effort to ensure that the
assembly process is as easy and as safe as possible, it is inherent with fabricated steel parts that corners and edges can cause cuts if improperly handled during assembly pro­cedures. Be careful while handling any parts during assem­bly. It is strongly recommended that you protect hands with a pair of work gloves.
Leveling
It is important for the proper operation of the grill that it be located on a level surface.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance shall be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding­type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. Plug into a GFCI-protected
outdoor receptacle, where available.
Extension Cords
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3­pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the appliance. Only extension cords identified by the marking with the suffix letters W-A, and tagged “Suitable for use with outdoor appliances” shall be used outdoors. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not tug on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
CONNECTION Natural Gas Grills
Type of Gas
Your natural gas grill is factory built to operate using natural gas only. Never attempt to operate your grill on gases other than the type specified on the grill rating plates. Your grill operates at 7” of water column pressure. If replacement of the hose becomes necessary, factory specified parts are required. See your local dealer. For safety and design reasons, the conversion of a Ducane® grill from operation using Natural gas to operation using LP gas requires the change out of the entire gas supply system of the grill. If this becomes necessary, see your dealer for additional
information.
What is Natural Gas?
Natural gas, often called methane, is a safe modern fuel. Natural gas is supplied by your local utility and should be readily available if your house is already heated with
gas.
NATURAL GAS INSTALLER’S GUIDE
This guide is a recommendation for natural gas installations. It advises the installer as to the size tubing that is necessary on a natural gas installation depending on how far the grill is located from the house. All tubing should be anticorrosive tin-lined copper or an AGA-approved alternate. Operating pressure of the grill is 3” water column pressure. This should be verified after the installation is complete. Comparable sized black iron pipe is also acceptable for natural gas lines.
Distance Pipe Size
1 - 25 feet 3/8"
26 - 50 feet 1/2"
51- 100 feet 2/3" of the run 3/4" down to 1/2"
101 feet or more 3/4"

Portable Installation
Limited portability can be afforded to the grill head when mounted on the portable cart. All grill heads mounted on this portable cart and cabinet model grills so equipped can be moved about 10 feet away from the main gas supply. Ducane recommends moving the grill at least two (2) feet from the gas supply and any combustible surfaces. After the gas supply has been run and checked for leaks in accordance to the assembly instructions, you are ready to grill. To connect the hose to the gas supply, pull back the outer fitting, insert the hose fitting all of the way, and release the outer fitting. This process will produce a gas joint. Follow special storage instructions located in the Helpful Hints section of this manual for proper care of your grill and its gas hose.
Gas Leaks Checks
Before operating your grill, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight and there are no gas leaks. Never use a match or flame for leak detection. Use soapy water or testing solution. Brush the solution on to connection points and look closely for bubbles indicating escaping gas. If leaks are detected, shut off the main gas supply valve and securely retighten connections, then repeat the leak test.
CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff 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 (14” wc).
CAUTION: The appliance must be isolated from the gas sup-
ply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14” wc).
WARNING: Never use an open flame when testing for gas
leaks! Use of an open flame may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

NORMAL OPERATION
WARNING: Your Ducane® grill was not designed to operate
with the Rotisserie Burner and the Main Burner(s) on at the same time. Failure to follow this warning will lead to an over­heating condition which would damage grill components and cause bodily harm.
WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel sup-
ply hose away from any heated surfaces.
Plug in Accessory Power to Your Grill
Connect your grill to a convenient outdoor outlet. This appliance shall be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. Plug into a GFCI protected outdoor receptacle, where available.
WARNING: Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the appliance. Only extension cords identified by the marking with the suffix letters W-A, and tagged “Suitable for use with outdoor appliances” shall be used outdoors. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not tug on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
Lighting Your Grill
WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to
inspect the full length of the gas line hose. Your hose can be accessed through the cabinet doors. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced with a manufacturer recommended part prior to the appliance being put into operation.
Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose as­sembly. It will be necessary to open the doors to fully inspect the hose.
DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion
any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.
IMPORTANT
If an external electrical source is used it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
Preheating Grill
It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After lighting, close the lid and preheat the grill on “high” for 10 minutes. This
preheating will ensure that the cooking grid is hot enough for proper grilling.
WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires can be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and bodily harm.
Open or Close Lid for Grilling
Cooking with the lid open or closed is a matter of personal preference. Cooking with the lid closed is recommended if you enjoy cooking at maximum “searing” tempera­tures. This method will also speed the cooking process, and will give you a more ro­bust, smoky, outdoor flavor. If you prefer cooking slower, with less flare up, we suggest the lid-open method. We recommend always cooking with your lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or colder climate. Your Ducane® gas grill has been designed and constructed to give you maximum flexibility and cooking performance. Be creative, try different cooking methods on your grill to determine what suits your needs best…there is no “right” or “wrong” way to cook…just different individual styles.
WARNING: Please remember that this is an outdoor gas
cooking appliance. Many areas of the grill generate extreme heat. We have taken every precaution to protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all high-temperature areas. Therefore, use good judgment and a certain degree of caution when grilling on this product. We suggest a covered, protected hand during operation of grill. Do not move your grill when it is in operation or hot to the touch. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly cooled down before moving from place to place. Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury.

Cooking with the Rotisserie
• When using the rotisserie, the lid must be closed except when basting.
• Meats (except poultry and ground meat) should be brought to room temperature before cooking. (20 to 30 minutes should be adequate for most foods. If frozen defrost completely before cooking.)
• Tie meat or poultry with a string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as pos­sible before putting it on the spit.
• Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow food to turn freely.
• Follow Lighting Instructions for Rotisserie Burner under Lighting Your Grill sec tion.
• Set Rotisserie Burner on “med-high” based on outside air temperatures.
• Place food within area of burner.
• If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip pan directly under the food on top of the heat distribution plates.
• Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie cooking as for regular cooking.
NOTE: When using the Rotisserie Burner, grill thermometer will not reflect the tem­perature inside the cooking box.
Operating the Electric Warming Drawer
 CAUTION: When operating additional appliances while the
rotisserie motor is in use, the household electrical circuit could overload.

WARNING: Do not use or spill liquids on our near the accessory outlet.

NORMAL OPERATION
Flare Ups
Any time you cook fatty foods over an open flame, you can expect flare ups. Flare ups are caused by the flash which occurs when the natural juices fall on the heat distribu­tion plates. Controlled flare ups give foods their delicious outdoor flavor and appear­ance. Excessive flare ups may occur when your grill is not level or when cooking fatty foods such as spare ribs and chicken parts, especially if the cooking temperature is set too high. These flare ups should be controlled or your food will burn, although it will
not burn nearly as much as you might think even in the direct flame.
WARNING: Do not spray or pour any liquid into the cooking
box to control flare ups. Doing so will void your warranty and may damage the grill.
To help control flare ups, we suggest using leaner cuts of meats and trimming excess fat from the meats to be grilled. Also, your grill should be level. If flare ups do occur, use the “Low” control setting and relocate the meat on the cooking grid until the flare ups have subsided.
1. To prevent food from sticking to the grid, preheat the cooking surface with the hood down for 10 minutes. Place the meat product on the grid and allow it to remain there for at least half of the suggested grilling time.
2. It is unnecessary to keep flipping meat products— allow them to sear and seal in
their juices, then halfway through the cooking period, with a spatula, flip the meat product onto its other side. When grilling chicken, always place the meat side on the grill first.
3. A light coating of oil applied to any of the meat products prior to grilling will also help. The use of a commercial spray cooking product is also helpful. This spray should only be used prior to lighting your grill but never during the cooking period. Use of spray cooking product can leave a black stain on areas of your cook grate. This is not harmful and does not affect cooking; however, if this becomes an appear­ance problem, the best way to remove the discoloration is by placing the cook grate in a self-cleaning oven during the clean cycle.
When Using the Rotisserie
WARNING: The rotisserie motor must be stored indoors
when not in use. Do not leave it mounted on the grill.
1. When using the rotisserie, the hood must be closed except when basting.
2. Important: Always light rotisserie burner with the hood in the full open position.
3. It is important to evenly balance the meat on the spit rod. This can be difficult especially with a turkey. Proper balancing will lead to more even cooking and prolong the life of the rotis motor.
4. Pliers may be used to tighten thumb screws on meat forks when larger cuts of meat are being rotissed.
5. Use twine to secure the meat on the spit rod, especially fowl or other cuts of meat that require tying.
Rotisserie Bracket (Motor Bracket Side)
When mounting the spit rod motor onto the motor bracket (right side burner box), the ears of the motor bracket must be fully inserted into the spit motor slots. Accomplish this by sliding the spit motor down to the stops of the spit motor bracket. The spit rod should not be making surface contact with the slot in the spit motor bracket. See Assembly Guide for more information.
Shelf/Shelves
Do not use shelf or shelves as a cutting board. Clean with soap and water.
Moving Portable Grills
When your grill is not in use and you wish to relocate it, we recommend you push the grill by the side shelf.
CAUTION: If your grill is portable and you are using a gas
tank, make sure you turn the appliance control knobs first, and then the gas supply tank. On permanent installations, it is strongly recommended that the inline field installed cutoff valve also be turned off when the grill is not in use.
HELPFUL HINTS
Storing Natural Gas Grills
After you have finished cooking and have cleaned your grill, (see Maintenance section – for cleaning), turn your grill off at your appliance control knob. It is strongly recom­mended that the inline field installed cutoff valve also be turned off when the grill is not in use. When the portable grill is to be stored indoors, the connection between the hose and the gas supply line must be broken. While the special fitting will stop the gas flow when the hose connection is removed, it is highly recommended you turn the gas supply off prior to disconnecting the hose assembly. To protect the gas fitting, it is necessary to insert the plastic plug (supplied with 10’ hose package) into the female quick connect. The male end of the hose must be protected by placing the plastic cap (supplied with
10’ hose package) over the brass fitting on the end of the hose.
Gas Valve Orifice
WARNING: Any alteration made to the orifice(s) such as drill-
ing it out, will void your warranty and may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

PROBLEM CHECK and CURE IMPORTANT
IGNITION SYSTEM
MAIN GRILLING BURNERS
WARMING DRAWER
ROTISSERIE BURNER ELECTRONIC IGNITION
Be sure that there is gas flow to the burners by attempting to match light your burners. If match lighting is successful, the problem lies somewhere in the ignition system and will need to be checked.
CAUTION: Always turn the gas supply off at the main gas
cut off before proceeding with any troubleshooting proce­dures.
If, for any reason, the snap ignition fails to ignite the main grilling burner(s), repeat the lighting procedures described on the grill control panel.
WARNING: The hood must be in the full open position any
time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the hood could lead to delayed ignition resulting in bodily harm.
After shutting off the main gas supply, remove the cook grate and heat distribution plates. Turn snap igniter counter clockwise and check if the electrode is sparking to the igniter tube. Try the snap igniter several times.
If, for any reason, the Warming Drawer fails to operate:
1. Repeat the operating procedures described earlier.
2. Check that the grill has been plugged into an outlet with household current.
3. Check that the power to the circuit is on.
4. If the outlet is a GFCI device, check that the device has been reset.
With a fresh battery installed, push electronic ignition button and check if there is a spark between the two electrode tips. There needs to be a 1/8” to 3/16” gap between the electrode tips. If the gap is lesser or greater, carefully bend the electrode tips until you have the correct gap of 1/8” to 3/16”(A).
If the main burner(s) still fails to ignite, make sure that there is gas flowing to the burner(s) by attempting to match light the burner(s). If the burners will match light, then proceed with the ignition checkout. If for any reason the igniter system is still inoperative, follow match lighting instructions.
Verify that the battery is in good condition and installed correctly. If so, try a new battery. If for any reason the igniter system is still inoperative, follow match lighting instructions.
BURNERS WITH POOR FLAME
If problems cannot be corrected by using these methods, please contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.ducane.com.
Check to be sure burner ports, shutter, end of the burner (venturi) and orifice(s) are
free of any obstructions. Also, if your grill has been stored over a prolonged period of time, check to make sure no spiderwebs have been formed in the shutter end of the burner (venturi) or over orifices.
If you still have a poor flame, please contact dealer for futher assistance or call Customer Service.
MAINTENANCE
Yes, you paid a lot of money for your grill, but even an expensive grill doesn’t clean and maintain itself, and you want it to look good and function properly. That’s why this section of your manual is so important. This section gives you the information necessary to help you keep your grill looking new and working properly. Reading and following the instructions in this section will make your grill investment pay off for many years.
90-Day Grill Maintenance Schedule
It is recommended that every 90 days the following maintenance procedure is fol­lowed, but it is absolutely necessary to perform this maintenance at least once a year. By doing so you will extend the life of your gas grill.
Cleaning the Hood
The exterior of the hood should be maintained with a stainless steel cleaner. The inside of the hood may be cleaned with a solution of warm water and liquid detergent to remove any grease build-up.
IMPORTANT
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids at all times.
• Do not locate your grill in such a manner or otherwise obstruct the flow of combus­tion and ventilation air around the grill.
• As part of the normal maintenance schedule, check to be sure that all ventilation openings are free and clear from debris.
