AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

Air shutters are preset at the factory based on the
gas the sideburner is built to burn. However, altitude
or other local conditions may require air shutter
adjustment for proper combustion.

The fl ames from a properly adjusted sideburner
will touch the burner ports and appear mostly blue.

If they are orange, “lazy,” or lift off the burner ports,
then adjust the sideburner air shutter using the
following steps.

The air shutter is located at the end of the burner
assembly, behind the control panel. It can safely
and easily be adjusted while the unit is lit.

CAUTION: Do not touch the sideburner

surrounding top area, as it will be
hot while adjusting the air shutter.

1. Remove the control knob and screws fi rst, then

carefully lift away the control panel.

Important: Prior to fully removing the control

panel, you must disconnect the
battery holder assembly wires that
are located behind the control panel.

SAFE USE & MAINTENANCE OF PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS PROVIDED WITH THE PROPANE-GAS CYLINDER.

When operating this appliance with a propane-gas cylinder, these instructions and warnings MUST be observed.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

CYLINDER/CONNECTOR REQUIREMENTS

a. Propane-gas cylinders, valves, and hoses must be

maintained in good condition and must be replaced if
there is visible damage to either the cylinder or valve. If the
hose is cut or shows excessive abrasion or wear, it must
be replaced before using the gas appliance (see e.).

b. This unit, when used with a cylinder, should be connected

to a standard 5-gallon (20 lb.) propane-gas cylinder
equipped with an OPD (Overfi ll Prevention Device).
The OPD has been required on all cylinders sold since
October 1,1998, to prevent overfi lling.

c. Cylinder dimensions should be approximately 12" (30.5

cm) in diameter and 18" (45.7 cm) high. Cylinders must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the

Specifi cations for Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres, and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods.

d. The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the

cylinder valve, and the cylinder supply system must be
arranged for vapor withdrawal.

e. The pressure regulator and hose assembly used must

cylinder is not in use.

QUICK COUPLER OPERATION

To connect the regulator/hose assembly to the propane­gas cylinder valve fi tting: Press the hand nut on the regulator

over the Acme thread fi tting on the cylinder valve. Turn the hand
nut clockwise to engage the threads and tighten until snug.

The use of pliers or a wrench should not be necessary. Only
cylinders marked “propane” may be used.

To disconnect: Turn the hand nut counterclockwise until
detached (Fig. 15-1).

Important: Before using the unit, and after each time the

cylinder is removed and reattached, check
the hose for wear (see a.) and check all
connections for leaks. Turn off the unit valves
and open the main cylinder valve, then check
connections with soapy water. Repair any
leaks before lighting the unit.

CAUTION: Always turn the propane cylinder main valve

off after each use, and before moving the unit
and cylinder or disconnecting the coupling.
This valve must remain closed and the
cylinder disconnected while the appliance
is not in use, even though the gas fl ow is
stopped by a safety feature when the coupler
is disconnected.

Carefully inspect the hose assembly each time before the
gas is turned on. A cracked or frayed hose must be replaced
immediately.

If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed. Disconnected

cylinders must be

stored outdoors, out of the reach of children, with threaded
valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a

building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

a. DO NOT store a spare propane-gas cylinder under or

near this appliance.

b. NEVER fi ll the cylinder beyond 80-percent full.
c. IF THE INFORMATION IN a. AND b. IS NOT FOLLOWED

CARE & CLEANING

APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN
CLEANING. DO NOT SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR
LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.

The appliance must be cleaned as often as once a month
(depending on use) to prevent grease build-up and other
food deposits.

INTERIOR

THE BURNER PORTS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN TO
ENSURE PROPER IGNITION AND OPERATION.

Wipe with grain

Remove the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions)
and clean the ports and slots as required. Also inspect
and clean the burner inlet for insects and nests. A clogged
burner can lead to a fi re in the bottom of the appliance.

The inside of the appliance may be cleaned periodically
with oven cleaner if desired. Follow the oven cleaner
instructions for proper use.

Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface
of the appliance as it can permanently damage the fi nish.

EXTERIOR

Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures
produced by the grilling process will change color. The
stainless steel will change color from silver to brown
and blue. This can be removed by using stainless steel
cleaner.

Clean your appliance by fi rst using grill cleaner to remove
grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain (See Fig.
19-1). Next, use stainless steel cleaner to restore the
stainless steel color (Note: not for mirror fi nish). Finish
by wiping your appliance down using polish wipes. To

clean any mirror fi nish (if applicable), use a quality
brand glass cleaner only, not any of the cleaners
mentioned above.

If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or
poolside (chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible
to corrosion and must be maintained/cleaned more
frequently. Do not store chemicals (such as chlorine or
fertilizer) near your stainless steel appliance.

Fig. 19-1 - Wipe with grain

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE
WEATHER

An optional cover will protect your appliance when not
in use. (Allow to cool before covering.)

Please specify the model number and serial number
of your appliance when ordering a cover.

IMPORTANT

IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE MAIN GAS VALVE TO THE GRILL.
KEEP THE LID OPEN AND ALLOW THE FIRE TO
EXTINGUISH ITSELF. A THOROUGH INSPECTION
BY A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN SHOULD
BE CONDUCTED BEFORE FUTURE USE OF YOUR
GRILL. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WILL CHECK
THE SYSTEM FOR GAS LEAKS AND WILL CHECK
ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR DAMAGE. ALL GAS
LEAKS AND WIRING MUST BE REPAIRED PRIOR
TO FUTURE USE.

Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide
deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits
are removable with stainless steel cleaner through prompt
and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly,
permanent pitting may occur.

By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the
beauty and convenience of your appliance for many years
to come.
