OPERATING THE GRILL:

WARNING

• Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.

• Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal smoking box to contain ash and prevent  res.

• DO NOT cover cooking grates or other components with aluminum foil, as this blocks ventilation and damage to grill or personal injury may occur.

• DO NOT leave your grill unattended while “ON” or in use.

• DO NOT move grill when in use.

• DO NOT use water on a grease  re. Closing the lid to extinguish a grease  re is not possible. Use type BC dry chemical  re extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

• Never cook on the grill without the grease cup/tray in place.

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:

• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on burners

and cooking surfaces of your grill.

• Before cooking on your grill for the  rst time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on “HIGH” to burn off

these residual oils.

PREHEATING GRILL:

• Prior to each use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces

are at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set main burner control knobs to “HIGH” position for 5 to 10 minutes. Close lid during the preheat period.

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS/GREASE FIRES:

• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique  avor of cooking on a

gas grill. Use caution when opening lid as sudden  are-ups may occur. Excessive  are-ups can overcook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive  are-ups result from the build-up of grease in your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the  ames. This can cause grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm.

• If grease  re occurs while lid is open, leave lid open, turn burner knobs to “OFF”, turn off LP cylinder valve. If possible, relocate food to a different section of cooking grate and allow grease to burn out or smother  ames with baking soda.

• If grease  re occurs while lid is closed, leave lid closed, as a sudden burst of air may increase  ames. Turn burner knobs to “OFF”, turn off LP cylinder valve. Allow grease to burn out.

• Never pour water on a grease  re as grease may splatter/spread and could result in bodily injury or property damage.

• If grease  re does not quickly burn out or  re is growing/spreading, use type BC dry chemical  re extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Closing lid to extinguish a grease  re is not possible.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:

OFF

• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.

• Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.

HIGH

LOW

• Ensure that your grill is on level ground and grease is allowed to evacuate grill through drain hole in bottom and into grease cup/tray.

• Clean grill frequently to minimize grease buildup.

MED

INDIRECT COOKING:

• Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without heat source being directly under your

food. You can sear meats over a high  ame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the other (unlit) side of the grill.

ROTISSERIE COOKING:

• Your grill was pre-drilled from the factory to include mounting holes for a rotisserie. Compatible with the

3 Embers® Stainless Steel Rotisserie Kit - Model ACC7100AS (sold separately).

• Read and follow all instructions provided with the rotisserie. Save instructions for future reference.

TURNING OFF THE GRILL:

1. Turn off cylinder valve.

2. Turn all burner control knobs to “OFF” position.

Note: Turn off LP cylinder  rst to prevent gas from being left in the system under

pressure.

To turn off cylinder valve, turn knob clockwise until it stops.

CAUTION:

• The cylinder valve should always be in the off, or closed, position when grill is not in use.

PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:

WARNING: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain

on the cooking surfaces prior to grilling as loose bristles may attach to food.

CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:

• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with bristle brush and then turning burners to HIGH for approximately 5 minutes.

• Make sure unit has adequately cooled before cleaning.

• Clean up of the grill after each use is required.

WARNING: DO NOT leave grill unattended when grill is on. Wear oven mitts to protect from burns.

• The heat from burners will burn off most food/grease residue from grates & heat tents and turn it to an ash like substance which will fall to the bottom of the  rebox or grease tray. After the grill cools (approximately 30 minutes) remove grates and heat tents and brush the ash and any grease out of the  rebox. Clean and replace grease cup. Inspect the heat tents for damage or deterioration before reinstalling in the grill. Don’t scrap or brush heat tents to avoid damage to screens. (Replacements can be ordered by calling 855-735-9922.)

CAUTION: DO NOT allow ash residue to remain on grease tray or  rebox as it could block proper grease

drainage of the grill.

INTERIOR OF GRILL LID:

• Smoke will accumulate inside grill lid and may  ake onto your food. Clean the inside of the grill lid with scrub brush and baking soda/water solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior of gas grill lids are not painted.

MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF GRILL:

• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.

• Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.

• Stainless steel surfaces. To maintain your grill’s 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  nish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics. Car wax may help protect the exterior  nish of your grill.

• Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with a solution of baking soda and water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for stubborn stains.

• Plastic and rubber parts. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

RUST:

• Discoloration, rust and rust pits can occur as a result of high cooking temperatures, acidic marinades, grease  res and exposure to coastal climates or other natural elements.

• Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

• Never use cleaners containing chlorine or store swimming pool supplies or chemicals in cart compartment as chlorine promotes rust.

BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
