IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,

carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Also, used in one of the components of the IR burner, is crystalline Silica.

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances is minimized because this is an outdoor unit.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician

in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your grill or cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.

All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he shows

you where your gas supply shutoff is located. All gas lines must have a shutoff that is readily and easily accessible.

• Read this manual carefully and completely before using your grill or cooktop to reduce

the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury. Please retain this manual for future reference.

• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not design certified for and is not to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers, boats or any other moving installation.

• Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or around the grill or cooktop at any time.

When in use, portions of the grill or cooktop get hot enough to cause severe burns.

• Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or cooktop, in the grill drawers or built-in enclosure.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill or cooktop is located. Never allow children to crawl inside the grill or built-in 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 use water or other liquids

on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.

Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• Have a multi-purpose dry chemical

or foam-type fire extinguisher accessible.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this manual.

• Do not leave the grill or cooktop unattended while cooking.

• 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.

• Do not heat unopened food containers

as a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.

• Use a pot holder when opening the hood.

Open the hood slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Do not let pot holders touch hot portions of the grill grate or burner grates.

• Never lean over an open grill.

• Pay close attention when lighting a burner.

Be certain you are rotating the igniter labeled for the burner you intend to use.

• When using the grill, do not touch the grill

grate, burner grate or immediate surrounding areas as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Keep children away!

• Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle or dispose of it. Avoid letting grease deposits

collect in the drip tray. Clean the drip tray often.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip tray or grill grates. This can severely upset

combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area.

• When using the cooktop burners, always use flat-bottomed pans 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 away from the grill to avoid burns associated with spillovers and heat from the grill. Hold the handle of the pan with a pot holder when turning or stirring food.

• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.

• Never grill without the drip 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.

• Never rotisserie cook without the basting pan in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill under the food being cooked. Without it, hot grease could leak

downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly— meat to at least an INTERNAL

160°F

and

poultry to at least an INTERNAL

180°F

Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

• For proper lighting and performance of the burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.

• Clean the grill with caution. To 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.

• Do not operate the grill or cooktop under

unprotected combustible construction.

Always adhere to the required clearances listed in the Installation Instructions. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.

• Do not locate the grill where the grill exhaust

is directed at combustible materials, windows

(open or closed), doorways, etc. The grill vents combustion gases and smoke to the back of the appliance.

• 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.

• Allow 12" minimum clearance on both sides and the back of the grill to adjacent vertical combustible construction.

• At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of spiders, spider

webs or other insects. The burner area is a common and desired spider haven and can present a dangerous condition which can damage the grill or cooktop and render it unsafe for use. The presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects can 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. Check and clean the burners immediately if any of the following conditions exist:

1. The smell of gas in conjunction with extreme

yellow tipping of the burner flames.

2. The grill or cooktop burners do not reach

temperature.

3. The grill or cooktop burners heat unevenly.

4. The burners make popping noises.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important Safety Instructions

• Do not use charcoal on the grill.

• Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. Electrical cords should be placed away from walkways to avoid tripping hazard.

• Never touch the grill grates, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands as these areas become

extremely hot during use and could cause burns.

• Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Open grill hood slowly

to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.

• The grill hood must be fully opened when lighting. Never lean over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when attempting to light.

• Do not operate grill under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• If equipped, never place more than 30 pounds on a side shelf. Do not lean on shelves.

• If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control

knobs with hood open and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to relight.

• Prior to using grill, ensure that all tie down wires have been removed from burners.

For LP gas models only:

• Be sure to CLOSE the LP tank mounted valve

after every use of the grill.

•

If a free-standing unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool before attempting to move it and store it in a well-ventilated area.

If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, away from heat and out of the reach of children. From the caster side of the grill, push—never pull—the grill.

•

Place your grill well away from areas where children play.

•

Never move the grill when hot.

• Never store additional or empty propane

cylinders in the grill cabinet or around the grill. Never fill the cylinder more than 80% full.

Failure to follow these steps may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank.

See the requirements in the Installation Instructions.

• Never put more than one LP cylinder below a free-standing grill. Never modify

the free-standing grill to house a larger cylinder or more than one cylinder at a time. Do not store spare tanks in a built-in enclosure.

• Keep the ventilation openings of the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

• LP units require an LP tank equipped

with a type 1 connector, an overfill protection device and a collar to protect the valve. If you use a tank exchange system, be sure to exchange this tank

for a similarly equipped tank.

• The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the product must be used.

Replacement pressure regulators and hoses must be specified by GE.

• For built-in side burners and built-in cooktops only: Use proper pan size—avoid

pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover the burner grate. This will save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

For natural gas models only:

• Be sure to CLOSE the manual safety valve

supplying the unit after every use of the grill.

• This 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 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).

• This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing

its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).

• Be sure to close the manual shut-off valve to the unit after every use.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Never use the grill in windy conditions.

If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak will be required on the rear wall and both sides of the grill. Windbreak construction is the responsibility of the owner and must adhere to the specified clearances listed in the Installation Instructions.

As a high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the combustion process. Your grill has been engineered to take air in through the control panel area and exhaust the combustion byproducts out through the gap between the front and rear hoods.

Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air through your grill, leading to reduced performance or, in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the control panel area. This can lead to problems such as burn hazards when the control panel surfaces become too hot to touch and, ultimately, failure of the wiring and internal components if the conditions persist.

If you have a freestanding grill, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel, thus supporting the proper airflow. Winds hitting the back of the grill directly are the most likely to cause problems, although wind blowing along the hood gap can also be problematic.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NEVER USE THE GRILL IN WINDY CONDITIONS. Wind hitting the grill while

in use, especially winds blowing into or across this hood gap, can cause poor performance and in some cases can cause the control panel to get hot enough to cause burns.

Steady or gusty winds can prevent the normal exhaust of hot gases. Locate your grill away from prevailing winds and avoid grilling in windy conditions.

SPECIAL NOTE ON WINDY CONDITIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance 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 the plug.

If an extension cord is required to operate the grill, use only a grounded cord approved for outdoor use. Use as short of cord as possible and avoid wet areas.

See all requirements in the provided Installation Instructions.

Before lighting the outdoor grill or cooktop

WARNING: IMPORTANT!

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. Any replacement pressure regulator or hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer.

For LP use, the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used.

This LP tank is equipped with overfill protection. When you refill or trade in your tank, make sure the one you receive also has overfill protection.

If the grill uses LP gas, connect the regulator to the LP tank and check the hose and regulator connections for leaks with a soap and water solution before operating the grill.

Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the connections for gas leaks before each use.

Turn all knobs to OFF then turn on the gas supply.

Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present.

Main grill burners

The grill section consists of stainless steel grill grates, stainless steel heat diffusers and stainless steel main burners.

The grates provide the grilling surface. The heat diffuser helps protect the main burner

ports from blockage and distributes heat. Each main burner is rated at 25,000 BTUs.

The Grill

Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

Grill grates

Heat diffuser

Main burner

Temperature gauge

The temperature gauge is meant to be a general indicator of surface temperatures with the hood in the closed position. It is especially useful during pre-heat when indicated temperatures become stable (approximately 10–15 minutes with all main burners on Hi).

NOTE: On models equipped with the Infrared Sear Burner, the temperature gauge will not respond when only that burner is turned on. For the 54" grill model, the temperature gauge will not respond if only the far left main burner is turned on.

Temperature gauge

Tank drawer with LP tank retainer loop

(free-standing models only)

To install the LP tank, fully extend the tank drawer and lift the retainer loop. Place the tank on the drawer bottom, inserting the loop on the bottom of the tank through the hole in the drawer bottom. Tilt the tank forward to lower the retainer loop to engage the top ring on the tank. Insert the coupler sleeve on the regulator over the tank inlet; turn clockwise to tighten. Do not overtighten the coupler (see Installation Instructions). Open the tank valve when ready to use the grill. Always close the tank valve when cooking is complete.

Location

Allow 12" minimum clearance on both sides and the back of the grill to adjacent vertical combustible construction. See the Installation Instructions for complete details.

Lighting Using the Control Knob

WARNING:

• Always open the hood prior to lighting.

• Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

Open the hood, push and turn the grill control knob to the LITE position and hold. You will hear a snapping sound, which is the igniter sparking. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.

If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again.

NOTE: All igniters spark simultaneously when pressing in any burner control knob.

IMPORTANT: The grill may smoke for a few minutes the first time it is used due to factory process oils. Run one complete pre-heat cycle (15 minutes with main burners on HIGH) with the hood down. Separately, run the Infrared Sear Burner (if equipped) for 10 minutes on HIGH to assure all oils are burned off.

To light the grill

Lighting Using a Match

WARNING:

• Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

A match stick extension rod is provided inside the grill drip tray. To match light a main grill burner, insert the UNLIT match stick securely into the clip end of the extension rod. Light the match stick and, holding the end of the rod, pass the flame of the lit match through the grill grate, past the heat diffuser directly in front of a burner port. Push and turn the control knob, which is centered on the burner you are trying to light, to the LITE position. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.

Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight a burner.

If the burner did not light in 4 seconds, turn all control knobs to OFF, leave the hood open to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate and wait 5 minutes before trying to light it again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, see the Problem Solver in the back of this manual.

Grilling hints

• When turning the meat over, always use a spatula as it will not puncture the meat, allowing the juices to run out. This will help to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once, as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat after it has been cooked; seasonings have a tendency to dry the meat out if applied before grilling.

• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from curling while they are being cooked, slit the fat around the edges at about 2-inch intervals. To test for doneness, make a small cut in the center of the meat.

• The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness. A steak should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time

is affected by the temperature of the meat when you start to cook it, the size and shape of the cut and the kind of meat you are cooking. The degree of doneness desired also affects the time.

• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says, “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F. means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book

. Your Kitchen Guide.

USDA latest edition.)

• When defrosting meats it is recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microwave. This in general yields a juicier cut of meat.

• Always ensure that the meat is thoroughly cooked by using a meat thermometer.

Using the grill

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the HI heat setting for the entire cooking time with the hood in the open position. 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 and is usually done with the hood closed.

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.

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.

1. Light the grill using the instructions in the drip

tray or by following the instructions in the To light the grill section of this manual.

2. Turn all main burner control knobs to HI and

preheat the grill for 10–15 minutes. The hood is to be closed during preheating.

3. Place the food on the grill and cook

to the desired doneness. The control knob may be set to any position to adjust the heat setting if necessary.

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer you preheat the grill, the faster the meat browns and the darker the grill marks will be.

Warming shelf

Use the warming shelf to keep already cooked items warm and ready to serve.

To lower the shelf to its warming position,

push up on its back edge with one hand and lower the front with the other hand.

To self-store the shelf when not in use or while rotisserie cooking, raise the front edge of the

shelf up and pull it forward to hook it in position.

To light the infrared sear burner

Lighting Using the Control Knob

WARNING:

• Always open the hood prior to lighting.

• Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

Open the hood. Push the Infrared knob in and turn to the lighting position. You will hear a snapping sound, which is the igniter sparking. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.

If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again.

NOTE: When first lighting the Infrared Sear Burner after a period of non-use, it may take longer than four seconds due to the large internal volume of the burner needing to be filled with gas.

Lighting Using a Match

WARNING:

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

A match stick extension rod is provided inside the grill drip tray. To match light the infrared burner, insert the UNLIT match stick securely into the clip end of the extension rod. Light the match stick and, holding the end of the rod, pass the flame of the lit match through the grill grate and directly above the ceramic perforated burner surface. Push and turn the control knob, which is centered on the burner you are trying to light, to the lighting position. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.

Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight a burner.

Infrared sear burner

(on some models)

On some models, the grill section has an infrared sear burner located on the right side. It consists of a stainless steel grill grate and an infrared burner with a protective screen.

The grate provides the searing surface. The infrared burner sears meat for a crispy

flavorful outside and a juicy inside. NOTE: On models equipped with the Infrared

Sear Burner, the temperature gauge will not respond when only that burner is turned on. For the 54" grill model, the temperature gauge will not respond if only the far left main burner is turned on.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to the burner:

• Always make sure that the protective screen

is properly in place on the infrared burner.

• Never place food over the infrared burner that

is not lit and preheated.

• Never allow water to contact the infrared

burner.

• On LP models, if lighting the infrared burner in extremely cold conditions there may be a possibility of “burn back.” If you hear a “whooshing” sound, immediately turn the burner knob off. Wait several minutes before attempting to relight.

Cooktop Burners

Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

Cooktop burners

(on some models)

Some grills have cooktops with two surface burners. Each surface burner is rated at 15,000 BTU and has a spark igniter for efficient lighting.

The burner grates are cast iron for durability. The two (2) center sections are reversible, allowing the use of a wok.

Each cooktop comes with a stainless steel cover which doubles as a work surface. When using the grill main burners with the side burner cooktop cover in place, heat can conduct from the grill section and cause the cooktop cover to heat up and become too hot to touch. Allow to cool before removing.

Never attempt to light the cooktop burners with the cooktop cover in place.

Cover the cooktop burners with the stainless steel cover when not in use.

To light a cooktop burner

(on some models)

First remove the cooktop cover and any cooking utensils from the cooktop grates.

CAUTION:

The cooktop cover may be hot if the grill burners have been in operation.

Push and turn the control knob to the LITE 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. The burner can be lit by holding a lit match next to the burner ports and turning the control knob to the LITE position.

Flame height

The correct height of the flame depends on the size and material of the pan being used, the food being cooked and how much liquid is in the pan.

• The flame should never extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

• Pans that conduct heat slowly (such as glassceramic) should be used with low or medium flame unless you are cooking with a large amount of liquid.

Note: The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware

you are using.

Rotisserie system

The rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back of the grill using infrared heat.

The rotisserie motor has three speeds (High, Medium and Low) and is capable of turning up to a 15 lb. cut of meat or poultry. The actual capacity is limited by clearance.

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage, the rotisserie motor must be removed and stored when using the grill main burners.

The rotisserie burner, located at the back of the grill, is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. This intense heat is magnificent for searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.

Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5 minutes.

The Rotisserie System

Professional Outdoor Grills & Cooktops

Assembly

Mount the rotisserie motor by sliding it down into place in the metal channel attached to the left side of the grill.

Remove the spit rod from its storage channel in the front of the drip tray and connect it to the motor by placing the pointed end through the motor access hole. The right side of the spit rod rests in the rotisserie roller grooves.

Attach the connecting cord to the receptacle in the motor and to the receptacle in the left front side of the grill.

NOTE: The transformer must be plugged into a properly grounded AC outlet to operate the rotisserie and lights.

Basting pan

The location of the burner allows the placement of the rotisserie basting pan (included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. It also minimizes grease drippings from accumulating on the heat diffusers and in the grease tray.

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.

To load the spit rod

1. To load the spit rod, slide one of the forks with

its prongs facing away from the flat end (right side in illustration), onto the spit rod.

2. Push the pointed end of the spit rod through

the center of the food; then slide the second fork, with the prongs toward the food, onto the spit rod.

3. Center the food between the locating grooves

on the spit rod. Push the forks firmly together. When cooking foods such as multiple chickens, always place the thickest portion of the food nearer the center of the spit rod.

4. Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may

be necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s string to secure any loose portions. Never use nylon or plastic string.

5. Once the food is secure, insert the pointed

end of the spit rod into the motor and lower the flat end onto the rollers. Place the basting pan beneath the food. It is normal for the spit rod to flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.

6. Attach the connecting cord to the receptacle

in the motor and to the receptacle in the left front side of the grill.

7. Use the motor switch to turn the rotisserie

to High, Medium, Low or Off.

Locating grooves in the spit rod

Use the grooves in the spit rod as locating start points for the forks. Center the forks and food between them to make sure the food is positioned in the front center of the rotisserie burner.

30" and 42" models have one set of locating grooves.

54" models have two sets of locating grooves.

To setup the grill for rotisserie cooking

1. Open the hood.

2. Raise the warming shelf up and hook it in

the self-store position (see Warming Shelf section).

3. Place the basting pan on the grill grates.

4. Assemble the rotisserie motor and spit rod.

5. Use the ROTISSERIE controls only for rotisserie

cooking.

NOTE: When rotisserie cooking, use only the rotisserie burner.

• Always open the hood prior to lighting.

• Always keep your face and body as far away

from the grill as possible when lighting.

Open the hood. Push the ROTISSERIE knob in, turn it to the LITE/ON position and continue to hold it in. You will hear a snapping sound, which is the igniter sparking.

If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again.

Once lit, hold the ROTISSERIE knob in for an additional 10 seconds to set the safety valve. Sparking will continue while holding in the knob—this is normal.

Release the ROTISSERIE knob. There is only one setting for the rotisserie burner, so do not attempt to adjust its flame setting.

NOTE: The rotisserie burner may be difficult to light and keep lighted in windy conditions. Lower the hood to the almost-closed position and observe the burner through the gap.

Lighting Using a Match

WARNING:

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

A match stick extension rod is provided inside the grill drip tray. Insert an UNLIT match stick securely into the clip end of the extension rod. To match light the rotisserie burner, open the hood. Push the ROTISSERIE knob in, turn it to the LITE position and continue to hold it in. You may hear a snapping sound, which is the igniter sparking at other burners. Light the match and hold it directly in front of the spark igniter. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF. Once lit, hold the ROTISSERIE knob in for an additional 10 seconds to set the safety valve. Sparking may continue while holding in the knob—this is normal.

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 of use.

Always soak the chips in water prior to putting them into the box. In the beginning you may want to use the HI position to start the chips smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level to prevent them from drying out and flaming.

Fill the smoker box with water to barely touch the smoker chip support plate.

CAUTION:

• During extended roasting periods, it is normal to add fresh wood chips and water to the box several times.

• If the wood chips do flame up, add a small amount of water to the smoker box to extinguish the flame, either after lifting the hood by the handle or through the water hole. This should be done carefully using heavy oven mitts.

• To avoid steam burns, use caution when adding water to a hot box. Never completely remove a hot box.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, do not remove the smoker box when hot.

The best time to clean the grill grates 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 brass bristle barbeque brush in cold tap water and scrub the hot grate. 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 should fall into the drip tray. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult.

For harder baked-on food particles, remove the grill grate and soak for about one hour in warm water. Lightly scrub with a Scotch Brite®pad.

The grill grates may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
