INSTALLATION (cont.)
INSTALL THE FLAVOR GRIDS
Place the flavor grids directly onto the studs on the burners. See Fig. 17-1. The slightly larger grids are designed to
be placed over the outside burners, and the slightly smaller grid(s) over the inner burner(s). The flavor
grids allow heat from the burners to be evenly distributed throughout the cooking area.
INSTALL THE COOKING GRIDS
Note: Wear heat-resistant gloves if necessary. Note: Do not leave the lifter on any hot surfaces.
1. With the prongs facing downward, insert the notched-
end of the lifter between two grid rods, then rotate, as shown in Fig. 17-2, A & B.
Note: To balance, insert the notched-end of the lifter in
the middle front half of the cooking grid.
2. Insert the rear pointed-end of the lifter between the
same two rods (Fig. 17-2, B) and carefully lift the cooking grid and place onto the front and rear grid rests of the grill (see Fig. 17-3). Repeat for all other cooking grids.
INSTALL THE DRIP TRAY
Your grill includes a pack of four drip tray liners. Place a liner into the drip tray as shown in Fig. 17-4, and fully insert the drip tray into the bottom front of the control panel.
Note: The liner must fit under the rear lip and two front
tabs found on the drip tray.

SERVICING AND CLEANING
Your grill requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Refer to these instructions for details. Performing these procedures
will ensure proper operation, appearance, and safety.
WARNINGS
• Prior to servicing or cleaning make sure the unit is completely cool, the control knobs are turned to the OFF position, and the gas supply is shut off (as applicable and unless otherwise stated).
• Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during any servicing or cleaning.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner or liquids on the grill when hot.
• The grill MUST be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up and other food deposits. A clean and well maintained grill prevents the risk of grease build-up and grease fires.
• Verify proper operation after servicing or deep cleaning.
• See INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION section for additional related information.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL
Before Each Use
1. Inspect and clean the exterior surfaces of the unit: With a cool grill, clean any dust, grease, splatter, or spills as
needed with a damp clean cloth.
After Each Use
1. Perform a burn-off and clean the cooking grids: Operate the grill on high with the hood closed for 15 minutes to
burn-off food and grease and allow for an easier cooking grid clean. Then turn OFF the grill and use a grill brush to clean the cooking grids of all residue. Wear protective gloves and use caution around hot surfaces.
2. Check and clean your drip tray: When the grill is cool, carefully remove the drip tray and dispose of contents
appropriately. If tray is equipped with a liner, dispose of the liner. Clean tray in a soapy water solution if needed. For tough deposits, a copper pad can be used. Rinse and dry completely. Replace a new liner and insert the tray back into the grill. Order more drip tray liners through your local dealer.
3. Cover your grill: Once the grill is dry and cool, cover your grill with a vinyl cover.
Twice A Year (or as needed) - Deep Clean
1. Interior of grill: In addition to cleaning the cooking grids and drip tray, a deep clean of the interior of
the grill, burners, and all components MUST be performed twice year (or as needed depending on use). Refer to the CARE, CLEANING, & MAINTENANCE GUIDE manual provided with your grill, or simply scan the QR code on the right.
Important: The burner ports and carry-over ports/slots MUST be kept clean to ensure proper ignition
and operation. The guide provides all details on cleaning.
2. Exterior of grill: With a cool grill, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water solution) and a clean cloth to remove grease
and dirt from the outside of the grill. For tough deposits, a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with the grain. Rinse and dry completely. Then follow up with a
stainless steel cleaner and a clean cloth. DO NOT use other cleaners or chemicals. If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel may become dull and
develop surface rust (due to use and atmospheric conditions). If left uncleaned, significant damage and pitting may occur.
Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools, or any other cleaners/
chemicals to clean the exterior other than recommended above. Such items promote rust.
Note: Due to the nature of stainless steel, temperatures produced by the grilling process will cause discoloration. This
can be reduced by routine cleaning.

SERVICING AND CLEANING (cont.)
For Environments High In Salt, Chloride, Or Other Corrosive Chemicals
When this grill is installed in a corrosive environment such as near the ocean (salt air), poolside (chlorine and/or pool chemicals) or any other location with exposure to high salt/chloride content or corrosive chemicals/solutions, it will be more susceptible to corrosion and MUST be maintained/cleaned more frequently.
• DO NOT store any corrosive chemicals (chlorine, hydrochloric acid, fertilizer, etc.) near your stainless steel grill.
• DO NOT allow any corrosive materials (masonry dust, debris, etc.) to settle on your stainless steel grill.
• These environments, chemicals, and materials may cause the 304 stainless steel to develop surface rust and consequently pitting. Under these conditions the grill exterior MUST be cleaned at least monthly. Inspect your grill often and clean accordingly.
Protecting Your Grill
An optional vinyl cover will protect your grill when not in use. Install the cover on a cool and dry grill. DO NOT cover a damp grill. During high humidity or after rainy conditions, remove the cover to dry trapped moisture if present. (If the cover is installed over a damp grill it can cause surface rust.)
Ensure that the INSIDE of the cover is DRY before putting it back on the grill.
25
SERVICING AND CLEANING (Cont.)
CONVERTING THE GAS TYPE
CAUTION: Make sure the grill is at a safe temperature
and isolated from gas and electrical supplies before beginning.
For your safety, exercise caution, and make sure you have adequate hand protection, such as gloves, when handling metal parts.
Apply Conversion Label
This grill comes from the factory configured for one type of gas as marked on the label inside the cabinet.
When the grill is converted, the label for the new gas (included at original shipping) MUST be filled out and applied next to the existing label mentioned above.
Convert Regulator
The gas regulator, located behind the control panel, must be set for the type of gas used to fuel the grill. To check the regulator setting, remove the cap in the center of the regulator (Fig. 26-1, A). Holding the cap vertical (see Fig. 26-1, B), the letters at the bottom of the plastic stalk indicate the gas type for which the regulator is currently configured.
If the text on the bottom of the regulator stalk does not match the gas type connected to the grill, remove the stalk from the cap, invert, and replace into center of cap. Replace cap on the regulator, screwing down until snug.
Connect To New Gas Supply
Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply. (Additional components may be needed for your specific setup.) Be sure to leak test at all connections.
Natural-gas to propane-gas conversions using a tank internal to a portable grill require installation of a propane tank holder (not included). This tank holder must be purchased separately from the manufacturer.
Convert/Check Main Burner Orifices
1. Remove the cooking grids and flavor grids and set
them aside.
2. Remove the burners. See BURNER REMOVAL
section for step-by-step instructions.
3. Use a
orifice (Fig. 26-3). Check orifice. If needed, replace it with the correct orifice for the new gas.
4. Replace the burners (reference BURNER
REMOVAL section).
Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning

SERVICING AND CLEANING (Cont.)
BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important: Air shutters are preset at the
factory based on the gas the grill is built to burn. However, altitude or other local conditions may require air shutter adjustment for proper combustion.
Main Burner(s)
Flames from a properly adjusted main burner with no wind or breeze present will appear fairly steady, consistent, and mostly blue. If the tip of a flame were to turn orange, it should only do so briefly and then become blue again. The flames will appear to burn while touching the burner ports (see Figure 27-1).
If the flames have orange in them and appear to undulate slowly from side to side, or if some of them appear to lift off the burner instead of touching it, then adjust the air shutter, as instructed below.

CAUTION: Turn all burner control knobs to the
OFF position and turn off the gas
supply at the source before removing or adjusting a burner.
WARNING
Wait for the burner to be cool or use heavily insulated
heat-resistant gloves when handling the burner.
Too large an air shutter opening will allow too much air into the burner, which will cause the flames first to shorten and then to appear to lift up off the ports. For the bottom of the flames to move closer to the ports, close the air shutter more.
If the air shutter opening is too small or closed, the flames will present consistently orange tips and become “lazy,” slowly undulating back and forth.
For propane gas, ideal settings tend to be just slightly open. For natural gas, which generally requires less primary air than propane, the main burner air shutter may be nearly closed.
3. Adjust the air shutter opening and then replace
the burner (reference BURNER REMOVAL section).
4. Follow the lighting instructions in this manual to
light the burner.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until the flames appear to
touch the burner ports, burning fairly steadily and mostly blue (see Fig. 27-1).
6. Replace the burner clip, flavor grid, and cooking
grid.
Repeat these steps for each main burner.
