IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the
grill beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling”may create a dangerous
condition.
“Overfilled”tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device,the tanks pressure relief valve will
vent propane gas vapor to relieve this ex cess pr essur e . 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 capacity.
2. If you own or use an extra spare 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. A metallic sticker with this warning is
attached to the grill to remind you,your family and all others who may
use your BBQ grill of these safety precautions.
Do not remove this sticker.
WARNING:
Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the
“LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS”section of this manual.
This Grill is for outdoor use only.
WARNING:
Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to “HI”. If
burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes
before trying again for any accumulated gas to dissipate.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never
allow them to sit,stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use,portions of the
grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill, in the cart or masonr y
enclosure. Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.
Never let clothing,pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or 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.
Always use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and
steam to escape.
Never lean over an open grill. 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 grill.
When using the grill, do not touch the grill burner grate or immediate surrounding area as
these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.

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. Only certain types of glass,heat-proof glass ceramic,earthenware,or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on
low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.
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
which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel,thereby damaging the
grill components and making it unsafe to operate.
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 wind break will be required. Always adhere
to the specified clearances listed.

GRILL PLACEMENT
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can severely upset combustion air
flow or trap excessive heat in the control area.The result of this can be melted knobs or ignition
buttons.
Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions
provided with this product. Have your grill 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. I f 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 by a qualified technician.

When using the open top burners always use flat bottomed utensils which are 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 movement of
the utensil when turning or stirring food. For proper lighting and performance of the burners
keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodically for optimum performance.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns;do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the
grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot
surface.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat,ignite or cause metal par ts to corrode.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of
the grill. Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well
ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings,garages, sheds,breezeway or other such enclosed
areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.
If a cart unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool,fold the side shelf down,then push, never
pull,the grill. If LP,the c ylinder must be unhooked and the LP c ylinder stored outside in a well
ventilated area,out of reach of children.
Do not use charcoal in the grill. Never use the grill in a windy area. Keep any electrical supply
cord,or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill.
Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure
free and clear from debris.
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch
hot portions of the grill or burner grate.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING: The Burning of gas cooking fuel generates some
by-products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances always
operate this unit according to the Use and Care Manual,ensuring you provide good ventilation
when cooking with gas.

Verify the type of gas supply to be used,
either natural or LP, and make sure the
marking on the appliance rating plate
agrees with that of the supply. The rating
plate is located on the outside of the back
wall of the Grill. 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.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type
and resistant to the actions of LP gases.
Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. 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. Gas conversion kits are available from the factory. When ordering
gas conversion kits have the model number,and the type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill.
TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE GRILL WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI:
BGB48-BQR - 122,500 Btu/hr BGB48-BQAR - 121,500 Btu/hr BGB36-BQAR - 92,500 Btu/hr
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 shutoff 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 Z223.1. Installation in Canada must be in
accordance with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation code for gas burning appliances and
equipment) and local codes.
NATURAL GAS HOOK UP:
Connection: 1/2" NPT male with 3/8" flare adapter. Operating pressure: 4.0" W.C.
Supply pressure: 5" to 14" water column. I f 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 of run, and how deep to bur y the line. If the gas line is too
small, the grill will not func tion 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.01). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading
compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a 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 orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for
connection to a standard 20 lb.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 of its safety feature,you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig.02)
after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Inser t the regulator inlet into the tank valve
and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler .
Turn the main tank valv e on and turn the burner control valv es 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.
To disc onnect the coupler,first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn
counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage,remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has
not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the
proper equipment to fill your tank.
LP T ANK 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
Typ e 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.

INSULATED JACKET:
Do not build the Grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. If the Grill is to be
placed into a combustible enclosure,an approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available from
your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has specifically been designed and tested for this
purpose.
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 :
Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be easily
accessible.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:
A Minimum of 12" from the sides and a minimum of 12" from the back must be maintained from the
Grill above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction.(Fig.03)
Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction:
A minimum of 3" clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for
the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6" side clearance to noncombustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you’ll be using the rotisserie
option,the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The Grill can be placed directly adjacent
to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface.(Fig.03)

General
The Grill is designed for easy placement into masonry enclosures. For non-combustible applications
the grill drops into the opening shown in (Fig. 04) and hangs from its side flanges. A deck is not
required to support it from the bottom.When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure
application,see the bottom of Fig.04.The jacket assembly must be supported from the bottom by a
ledge on each side or a solid deck beneath the entire grill or insulated jacket.
Review the detail drawing shown (Fig.04) and take into account the provisions shown for gas line
hook-up clearance in the right rear corner. It is recommended that ventilation holes are provided in
the enclosure in the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat. The
counter should also be level.

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. Remove the knobs and the safety valve knob,then
remove the 2 screws which fasten the valve panel t o the unit (you will need a Philips head for this). Pull
the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the ignition module and the back of the ignition
button. Remove the screws which hold the service panel in place. Remove the service panel.
T o Test:
Make sure 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 pipe assembly. Apply the soap
solution around the connection, valve, tubing and end of 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
utility, or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. 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.(Fig. 05 & 06)

INSTALLER FINAL CHECKLIST:
GRILL BURNER FLAME HEIGHT:
To access the grill burner air shutters first remove
the valve panel by removing it the same way as
described on page 12, section “Before Testing”.
With a screw driver,loosen the lock-screw on the
face of the air shutter. Light the burner and adjust
according to the directions (Fig.07).
SIDE BURNER FLAME HEIGHT:
The correct height of the flame mainly depends
on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil,
the material of the cooking utensil, the amount
and type of food and the amount of liquid in the
utensil. Following are some basic rules for
selecting flame height.
For safety reasons the flame must never
extend beyond the bottom of the cooking
utensil. Never allow flames to curl up
the side of the pan (see Fig.08).
Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such
as glass-ceramic) should be used with
medium to low flames. If you are
cooking with a large amount of liquid, a
slightly larger flame can be used.

Grill Burner Air Adjustment:
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment;however,variations in the local
gas supply or a conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The
flames of the burners (except the rotisserie burner) should be visually checked and compared to that
of the drawing in Fig.07 and Fig.08. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips,excessive
noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist,check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by
dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. Proceed with air shutter adjustment. The amount of air which enters a
burner is governed by a sheet metal cup at the inlet of the burner called an air shutter.It is locked in
place by a set screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment.
To Adjust:
1. Be careful as the burner may be very hot.
2. If the flame is yellow,indicating insufficient air,turn the airshutter counterclockwise to allow more
air to the burner.
3. If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air
shutter clockwise.
4. Once adjusted turn the burner off and reverse steps to reassemble.
LOW SETTING ADJUSTMENTS:
The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting. Due to fluctuations in gas pressure,heating
value or gas conversion,you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in the low position.
We do not recommend adjusting the infrared rotis burner.
To Adjust:
1. Light the burner.
2. Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (all the way
counter-clockwise).
3. Remove the knob.
4. While holding the valve shaft with pliers, insert a thin, flat
tipped screwdriver into the shaft and while viewing the
burner adjust to a minimum stable flame (Fig.09).
WARNING:IMPORTANT!
Before lighting,inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas
"on". If there is evidence of cuts,wear,or abrasion,it must be replaced prior to
use.

GRILL:
Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a stainless steel
heat baffles,a series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel rack,and a
stainless steel heat retaining grate. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr.
Below burners there is a stainless steel heat baffle which reflects usable heat
upward into the cooking area and reduces temperatures of the drip pan
below. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants which encase the
ceramic rods and protect the grill burner ports from blockage.
RADIANT ASSSEMBLY INSTALLATION:
1. Unpack ceramic rods and remove radiant (Fig. 11)
from the unit.
2. Unlock radiant end cap by pushing it up with two
fingers (Fig.12).
3.Place 18 ceramic rods on the radiant (Fig.13).
4.Lock radiant end cap (Fig.14).
5.Place the assembled radiant in the unit (Fig.15).
NOTE: In case a ceramic rod breaks:
a) Unlock radiant end cap by pushing it up with two fingers (Fig.13) or pliers may be used.
b) Replace broken ceramic rod.
c) Lock radiant end cap.
The Grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods.Because of the porosity of ceramic rods,performance is
superior in the rods’ ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. They also possess the
thermal mass needed for results. Flare ups are controlled because our radiant ceramic rods keeps
grease from getting to the flames and igniting. The intense heat produced by this system produces
true grilled flavor as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized.
Discoloration is normal after use.

REPLACEMENT OF REGULATORS AND HOSE:
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. The replacement
pressure regulators and hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use
the grill if the odor of gas is present. If the unit is LP,screw the regulator into the tank and leak check
the hose and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before operating the grill. Turn all
knobs to "OFF" then turn on the gas supply. If LP, is there gas in the tank? Always keep your face and
body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the connections before
each use.
Do not attempt to "LITE" the grill if the odor of gas is present.
Wait 5 minutes before relighting a hot grill.
IMPORTANT - USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “MEDIUM”
heat setting for the entire cooking time. However,when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry,it may
be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through
without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may
need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
1.Check to be cer tain the drip pan and grease tray are in place.
2.Light the grill burners using the instruc tions on page 17.
3. With the grill lid open, turn the control knob to “HI” to light. Preheat the grill for 5 to 10
minutes.
4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if
necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “HI”and “LO”- most grilling
is between “MED”and “LO”.
5.Allow grill to cool and clean the grates,drip pan and grease tray after each use.
Note: If using LP gas, your preheat time may be shorter than recommended. To prevent
overcooking or burning you may want to lower heat settings.
GRILLING HINTS:
The doneness of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large degree by the
thickness of the cut. Expert chefs say it is impossible to have a rare doneness with a thin cut of meat.
The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat,the size and shape of the cut,the temperature of the
meat when cooking begins, and the degree of doneness desired. When defrosting meats it is
recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microw av e . This in general
yields a juicier cut of meat. Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat,as a spatula will
not puncture the meat and let the juices run out. To get the juiciest meats,add seasoning or salt after
the cooking is finished and turn the meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several
times). Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface. Trim any excess fat from the
meat before cooking. To prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking,slit the fat around the
edges at 2-inch intervals.

Grilling Method Note: Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect
cooking uses heat from adjacent burners to cook food and in many cases, reduces the possibility of
overcooked or overly browned food. Foods most appropriate for indirect grilling included breads, thicker
pieces of chicken or steaks.
TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER:
NOTE:Open the grill lid and/or remove the top grate cover before lighting. Turn all knobs to “OFF”.
Turn the main gas supply on. If you smell gas,shut-off gas supply and call for ser vice.
Push and hold the ignition button,turn the selec ted burner knob to “HI”. If burner does not light in 4
to 5 seconds, turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again for any accumulated gas to
dissipate.
Match Lighting:
If the burner will not light after several attempts then the burner can be match lit. If you’ve just
attempted to light the burner with the ignition,allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate.
Keep your face as far away from the grill as possible and hold and pass a lit,long stem match over the
hole located on the top left for burner on the left,or the right hole for the right burner (Fig.17). Push
and turn the control knob which is centered on the burner where the lit match is located,to “HI”. If the
burner does not light in 4 seconds turn the knob off,wait 5 minutes and try again.
Once the left or right burner is lit,the adjacent burner(s) can be lit by the cross-lighting method. For
center burners to cross light,light the adjacent far left or right burner using the standard or match light
procedure. Push and turn the control knob for the desired center burner to “HI”. The gas will be ignited
by the adjacent burners flame. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds,turn k nob off,wait 5 minutes
and try again.

TO LIGHT DUAL SIDE BURNERS (48BQR MODELS ONLY):
CAUTION:
The side burner cover may be hot if the grill burners are in operation.
Side Burners Lighting Instructions:
First remove the burner cover and any cooking utensils
from the burner grate. Push and hold the ignition
button, turn the control knob to the “HI” position until
the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner doesn’t
ignite, wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to
dissipate then try again. If the burner will not light after
several attempts. Check the troubleshooting
instructions on page 27. To light burner manually see
page 17,“M atch Lighting”.
Side Burners Match Lighting:
Hold a fireplace lit match near the burner ports,turn the
control knob counterclockwise to “HI”. Move your hand
immediately once the burner is lit. Rotate the control
knob to the desired setting.
Note: If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports
a few seconds after the burner has been turned “off”. This “extinction pop” is
normal for propane gas.
Side burners:
Your new side burner is equipped with burners typical
of those used in restaurants (Fig.19). These burners are
designed for maximum cleanability and controlability.
The burner should never be operated if the cap is not in
place.

The smoker system on each grill consists of a stainless steel
slide out tray which is positioned above a 3,500 Btu/hr burner.
The burner is controlled by a precision brass valve which is
capable of being turned down to very low heat levels. The
system may be used alone for low temperature roasting and
smoking or in conjunction with any combination of other
burners. When using the smoker system in conjunction with
the optional infrared rotisserie burner you’ll find it helpful to
use the low setting of the smoker burner to minimize the heat
rising up to the rotis basting pan. Staggering the meat away
from the smoker burner also helps.
To minimize burn potential do not completely remove the smoker
tray when hot.
TO LIGHT THE SMOKER BURNER:
Open the lid and remove the smoker tray. Locate the burner
visually by looking through the cut-out in the valve panel. Push
and hold the ignition button,turn the control knob to the “HI”
position until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner
doesn’t ignite wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to
dissipate then try again. If the burner will not light after several
attempts, wait 5 minutes then match light using a long
stemmed match or lighter through the cut-out in the valve
panel. Once lit,fill the smoker tray and replace.
Wood Chips:
There are many wood chips available for purchase and selection is based on personal taste. The most
common wood chips used are mesquite or hickory. Mesquite has a sweeter taste and is commonly
used with poultry and seafood. Hickory is best suited for red meats. Use of oak,cherry,maple,aspen
or apple is also common while aromatic herbs like sage,bay leaves,thyme or basil may also be used.
To start,you may want to use the “HI” position to start the chips smok ing,then reduce the heat to a
lower level to prevent them from drying out and flaming. If the wood chips do flame up,add a small
amount of water to extinguish the flame. This should be done carefully through the top in the grill
area,or by pulling the tray out slightly. Use caution when adding water to a hot tra y to a v oid steam
burns, and never completely remove a hot tray. When smoking, the lid should remain closed as
much as possible to maximize the effect. During extended roasting periods it is normal to add fresh
wood chips to the tray several times.

The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook
items from the back using infrared heat. The
location of the burner allows the placement of the
rotis basting pan (included) beneath the food to
collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy.
To flavor the contents of the basting pan,you can
add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are
especially good with the addition of pineapple
slices and brown sugar to the basting pan. The
rotisserie burner is an infrared type which
provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred
by chefs over other methods,this intense heat is
magnificent for searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.
Once lit,the rotis burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. The orange/red glow will
even out in about 5 minutes. The rotis motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning
up to a 25 lb.cut of meat or poultry.
The rotis motor on the grills is secured down to a cast rotis block with two black screw- down knobs.
The rotis block is in turn bolted to the right side panel. The rod for the rotis is assembled into the motor
assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor,and resting the handle end on the support at the
left side of the grill. With the rod pushed as far as possible into the motor,the grooved rod should rest
on the rollers.
To load the rod begin with the handle in place,and slide one
of the meat holders (prongs facing away from the handle)
onto the rod. Push the rod through the center of the food,
then slide the second meat holder (prongs toward the food)
onto the rod. Center the product to be cooked on the rod
then push the meat holders firmly together. Tighten the L
shape nut with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the
food with butchers string or dental floss (never use nylon or
plastic string) to secure any loose portions. Once the food is
secure,insert the rod into the motor. If needed, remove the
grill grates. Place the basting pan beneath the food. It is
normal for the rod to flex when larger cuts of meat are being
cooked.
Also, the motor is equipped with a halogen bulb to provide
light when other sources of light are not sufficient. Use only
a 50W Max.Halogen Narrow Flood replacement bulb.
WARNING:
Halogen lamps are constructed of a glass bulb with a pressurized internal
filament tube that operates at high temperatures and could unexpectedly
shatter. Should the outer bulb break,particles of extremely hot glass could be
discharged into the fixture enclosure and/or surrounding environment,
thereby creating a risk of personal injury or fire. When replacing the bulb, let
the bulb cool, and assure that power to the light has been turned off. Never
allow the hot bulb to come into contact with water. DO NOT TOUCH the Light
Bulb when in use. They may be hot enough to cause injury.

WARNING:
Never have the grill burners (bottom burners) on during Rotisserie cooking. It
will burn your meat and make it very dry. Use only one section at a time,grill
or rotisserie.
PREPARATION
Recommended:
Dental floss or butcher string,scissors,broiler pan (bottom only),pliers,instant read thermometer,foil,
and hot pads.
Working Area:
Allow enough space to accommodate food and
rotisserie rod assembly in a clean environment.
Meat Preparation:
Tie meat with butcher string or Dental floss in
three areas. Buy a roast that is equally balanced
from top to bottom in size. The meat will cook
more evenly while on the Rotisserie.For Poultry,
tie wings and legs to the body using Dental floss
or butcher string to prevent flopping around
while turning.(Fig.24)
1. Determine the center placement for the food, put 1st prong on Rod, turn L shape screw to
tighten.
2. Center tied meat/poultry on Rod,place second prong,turn L shape screw to tighten.(Fig.25)
3. Pick up Rod,rotate it to check for balance.If not,adjust prongs and food to balance. Take pliers
and tighten the L shape screw on both sides of the prong.
4. Remove grates and top rack on the grill,place bottom portion of broiler pan on ceramic rods,
so meat drippings can be caught in pan.(Fig.26)

1. Place prepared rod into motor,lay across to other side in groove.(Fig.27)
2. Verify placement as shown in Fig.28.
3. Ignite Burner,start Rotisserie Motor,and k eep on High for cooking all meats on the Rotisserie.
4. To check temperature,turn off motor, turn temperature to low while using your instant read
thermometer. For poultry it should read 170º in breast. Thermometer should touch the
breastbone,then lift up 3/4 inch from the bone to get a more accurate temperature. Turn on
motor,return heat to high if more cooking is needed. Repeat above instructions.(Fig.29)
5. Remove Rod,using hot pads,place meat or poultry on broiler pan bottom,then remove prongs.
(Fig.30)
WARNING:
The fork rods are very sharp. Keep hands away from tips when removing the
food.
6. Cover with foil for a 15 to 20 minute waiting time. Meat will carve better and juices will go back
into the meat.

TO LIGHT THE ROTISSERIE BURNER:
The location of the rotis burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions,more so than the
protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the rotis during windy conditions.
As an added safety feature we’ve equipped the burner with an automatic safety valve which will not
allow gas to flow to the rotis burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob on:
1.The safety valve button is pressed,and held down.
2.The safety valve thermocouple has been sufficiently heated to keep safety valve open.
Open the lid. Push and hold the ignition button. You’ll hear a snapping sound. Turn the control knob
to “HI”. Engage the safety valve button and continue to hold until the burner is lit. Once lit,turn control
knob to desired setting. If the burner does not light within 4 to 5 seconds, release the safety valve
button and turn the control knob to “OFF”and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
If relighting a hot burner,wait 5 minutes.
Never leave the control knob on if rotis is not in use.
Never light a grill burner under the rotis while rotisserie burner is lit.
MANUAL LIGHTING:
To manually light the rotisserie, place a
butane lighter near the tip of the thermocouple as shown in Fig.31. Turn the control
knob to “HI”. Hold the safety valve button in
for about 4 to 5 seconds or until the burner
remains lit. Once lit, turn control knob to
desired setting. If the burner does not light
within 4 or 5 seconds, release the safety
valve button and turn the control knob to
“OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying
again.
WARNING:
Keep hands and face away from front of burner! STAND TO THE SIDE WHEN
LIGHTING.ONCE LIT MOVE HAND AWAY QUICKLY.
WARNING:
Electrical Grounding Instructions:
This appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle.Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
The Rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,in the absence
of local codes,with the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFP A 70-1990. Keep the rotis motor electric cord
away from the heated surfaces of the grill. When not in use, remove and store the motor in a dry
location.

BATTERY
REPLACEMENT:
1. Remove drip pan.
2. Open cart door.
3. Pull battery downwards
(This may require use of
pliers.)
4. Re-install upward and
push to snap - Fig. 32.
(Polarity is shown in
Fig.33).
NOTE: Battery condition should be checked at least once a year.
GRILL GRATES:
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the
flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a fine brass bristle
barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water.
Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food
particles. The food particles will fall onto the ceramic rods and burn or fall into the drip pan. If the grill
is allowed to cool before cleaning,cleaning will be more difficult.
DRIP PAN AND GREASE TRAY:
The full width drip pan with grease tray will collect grease from the grill section and boil overs and
spills from the power burners. Allow the pan and its contents to cool before attempting to clean.
Clean grease from the pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
CERAMIC RODS:
It is not necessary to remove the ceramic rods for cleaning. They burn themselves clean during the
next cooking operation. Periodically the trays holding the ceramic rods need to be turned over, and
shaken free of debris for a thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and type
of food cooked will determine when it is necessary to clean the ceramic rods. If grease can be seen on
the top of the tubes or if you get a lot of flare-up during cooking,the tubes need to be turned over and
heated on“HIGH” for 30 minutes;longer for heavy soil.
STAINLESS STEEL:
The Grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. After initial usage,areas of the
grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many
different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first,scrubbing
in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel,sand ver y lightly
with dry 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces
of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust. For removal use an
abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the
direction of the grain.
Note: Stainless steel tends to rust in presence of chlorides and sulfides specially in coastal areas.
To ensure rust prevention,wash all stainless steel sur faces every 3-4 weeks with fresh water
and stainless cleaner.

SIDE BURNERS:
For proper lighting and performance
keep the burners clean. It is necessary
to clean the burners if they do not light
even though the igniter clicks, if there
has been a severe boil over, or when
the flame does not burn blue. Be
certain all burner knobs are in the off
position before attempting to clean
the burners. The burners have been
designed for ease in cleaning. When
the grates and burners are cool,
remove the grate. The burner cap and
the brass port ring can easily be lifted
off. Wash these parts in hot soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The
burner caps are porcelain enamel,
follow the directions on the previous
page that were given for the burner
grates. A bristle brush can be used to
clean out the toothed burner ports, if
necessary. After cleaning, it is
important to make sure the location
pins on the bottom side of the port
ring are properly aligned with the
corresponding holes in the base. In correct alignment will
produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner
performance (see Fig.34).
IGNITERS:
Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not
to damage the igniter (see Fig.35)
GRILL BURNER:
Remove the grill grates,then lift out the grill radiant tray.
Grasp the burner,pull it up and slightly to the rear of the
unit so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the
front,angle the burner sideways,and remove.
Grill burner cleaning:
Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear
stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports
with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick
as it may break off and clog the port. Shake out any debris
through the air shutter. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner
inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen,
use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened out.

SMOKER BURNER:
The smoker burner can be removed and cleaned by unplugging the igniter wire and lifting out the
burner. Cleaning is similar to the grill burner. Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the
brass orifice,centering it in the hole.
WARNING:
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO
CENTER THE BURNER ON THE
ORIFICE PROPERLY TO PREVENT A
FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
Be careful not to upset the air shutters’original position (unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the
burner into the cutouts on the support channel at the rear of the burner box. Make sure it is level and
does not rock. Light all of the burners and check for proper flame characteristics. If adjustments are
necessary,refer to (page 14). Do this prior to cooking on the grill.
