Toxic Enforcement Act requires 1he

Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known It the state to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure m 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 oi" LP fuels.

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,

as described in this guide.

• Children should not be left alone or

unattended in an area where the cooking
center is being used.

• Do not leave the cooking center unattended
while cooking.

• For personal safety, wear proper apparel.

I_oose fitting garments or sleeves should

never be worn while using flais 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. Unsuitable

types of materials may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only on low or

medium heat setting.'s according to the

manufacturer's directions.

• Do not heat unopened food containers as a

build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst.

• Use a pot holder when opening the roll top
lid. Open the lid 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 rack 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 on using.

• When using the grill, do not touch the grill
rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding

areas as these areas become extremely hot
and could cause burns. Keep children away!

• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting

grease deposits collect in the drip pans. Clean

the drip pans often. (On some models)

• 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 rotm T igniters,

• When using the range-top burners always use

flat-bnttomed 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 inward

away from open edges of the unit to avoid

burns associated with spillovers. 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

webs or other insects. The burner area is a
common and desired spider haven and can

present a dangerous condition which can
damage flae cooking center and render it
unsafe for use. The presence of spiders,
spider webs or oflaer insects can cause the gas

to flow from the front of the burner. This is a

vmT dangerous condition which can cause a
fire to occur behind the valve panel. Check

the cooking center immediately if any of the

following conditions exist:

1. The smell of gas in cot_junction wifla
extreme yellow tipping of the burner

flames.

2. The grill or range-lop burners do not

• Never use the cooking center in windy
conditions. If located in a consistently windy
area (oceanliqmt, mountaintop, etc.) awind
break will be required. Always adhere lc}

lhe specified clearances lisled in the
installalion instructions.

• The 24' professional grill is designed for

single rows of ceramic briquettes to be
placed in the stainless steel radiant trays
above the grill burners. To avoid blocking
off lhe area for the grill burners to vent, do

not place the ceramic briquettes over the

holes in lhe stainless steel radianl mays.

Placing the ceramic briquenes over lhe
holes in tim stainless steel radiant trays can
damage ignition components and knobs
and void lhe warranly.

• Some 27; 36" and 48"professional grills
utilize Gourmet Radiant TM Trays to evenly

distribute heat and to minimize cooking flare
ups. Do nol place lava rocks on mp of the

Gourmet Radiant _MTrays. This can damage

the knobs and ignition componenks and void
the warranty.

• Some 27; 36" and 48" professional grills are

designed for a single layer of lava rock to

The Grill

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

General

information

The grill section consists of a large cast iron
burner or burners (depending on model), a

series of stainless steel heat baffles (on some
models), a bed of natural lava rocks or ceramic

briquettes, or Gourmet Radiant TM Trays

(depending on model) and a porcelain

enameled heat retaining grill rack(s).
Each burner is rated at 15,000 BTU for

24"models.
Each burner is rated at 20,000 ffFU for

277 36" and 48" models.
Below each burner is a stainless steel heat

baffle (on some models) which reflects usable
heat upward into the cooking area and reduces

the temperature of the drip pan below (on
some models).

The cast iron grill burner encompasses the
entire cooking area and is top ported to
operate cooler and last longer.

On some models, the burners in the cooking
area are side ported.

Above the burner (s) on 24" models are t_o
slainless steel radiant tray(s) which support

ceramic briquetles and protect the grill burner
ports fi'om blockage.

The Gourmet Radiant rMTrays (on some
models) protect the grill burner ports fi'om

blockage on some 277 36" and 48" models.

Gourmet

Radiant TM

Trays

(on some models9

Some grills are supplied with Gourmet
Radiant TM Trays. They are uniquely shaped and
effectively distribule the heat from the burners
evenly- across the grill area.

Flare ups are minimized because dae Gourmet
Radiant TM Trays quickly redirect grease down
to the drip pan before it can begin to burn.

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.

The Grill

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

Lava rock

(on some m_)dels)

The grill is supplied with natural lava rock

(on some models). Because of the porosity of
nalural lava rock it is superior in its ability- to
capture heat as it rises from the grill burners.
It also possesses the thermal mass needed for
professional results. Flare-ups are controlled
because the lava radiant keeps grease fi'om
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.

Place lava rocks in a single layer on top of the
stainless steel radiant way located under the
grill rack. It is important Io distribute flae rocks
evenly over the tray-without leaving any large
gaps. Uneven distribution of the rocks and air
gaps can cause localized "hot" and "cold" spots
which could result in unsatisfactoI y cooking
performance.

Ceramic

briquettes

(onsomem_)dds)

The intense radiant heat from the ceramic

briquettes caramelizes the fats and.juices that
are brought to the surface of the food, giving it

the barbecued flavor,

The ceramic briquettes are in two separate

stainless steel trays located under the grill

racks. The small tray is to be placed in the back
and the large tray is to be placed in the front.

(See the Rotisserie section for placement when
rotisserie cooking.)

Make sure the briquettes are in place in the trays
so that they do not cover the holes in the trays.

Before

lighting
the grill

WARNING: IMPORTANT!

Inspect flae gas supply piping or hose prior m
tul'ning the gas on. If there is evidence of cuts,

wear or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to
use. Any replacement pressure regulators or

hose assembly must be the type specified by
the manufacturer.

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

This LP tank is equipped with overfill
prolection. When you refill or trade in your

tank, make sure the one you receive also has
overfill protection.

If flae grill uses LP gas, connect the regulator to

the I_P lank and check the hose and regulator
connections for leaks wifla a soap and water
solution before operating the grill.

Keep a spray botde 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.

Using the

grill

Grilling requires high heat for searing and
proper browning, Most foods are cooked at the

HI heat setting for dae entire cooking time.
However, when grilling large pieces of meat or

poulUT, it may be necessal T to turn dae heat m
a lower setting after the initial browning, This

cooks the food through without burning the
ouLside,

Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a
sugal T marinade may need a lower heat setting

near the end of the cooking time.
Do not leave the grill unattended while

cooking.

1. Check to be certain the drip tray is in place.

2. Light the grill using the instructions in the

To ligt_,tthe grillsection of 1his guide.

3. Turn the control knob to HI and preheat the
grill for 10-15 minutes. The roll top lid is to

be closed during preheating.

4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the
desired doneness. The conu'ot knob may be

set to any position to acliust the heat setting
if necessm T,

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in

the.juices. The longer you preheat flae grill, the

faster the meat browns and the darker the grill
marks will be.

Grilling

hints

•When turning the meat over, always use a

spatula as it will not puncture the meat
allowing the juices m run out. This will help m

keep the meat juicy. Turu dae meat only once,
as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly

turned. Season or salt the meat after it has
been cooked; these procedures have a

tendenc T to dry the meat out.

•Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or
poulU T. To prevent steaks or chops from

curling while they- are being cooked, slit the
fat around the edges at about 2-inch imervals.

To test for doneness, make a small cut in the
center of the meat.

•The doneness of meat is affecmd by dae
thickness of the cut, It is impossible to cook a

thin piece of meat to arare doneness. A steak
should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turu

out rm_e and juicy. The cooking time is
affected by the 1emperature of the meat

when you start to cook it, the size and shape
of dae cut and the kind of meat you m_e

cooking. The degree of doneness desired
also affecLs the time.

•The U. S, Deparfment of Agriculture says,

"Rare beef ispopular, 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 Rev.June 1985.)

•When defrosting meals it is recommended

that it be done overnight in the refrigerator
as opposed m a microwave. This in general

yields a juicier cut of meat,

•Always ensure that the meat is thoroughly

cooked by using a meat thermometer.

(on some mMels)

Some cooking centers are equipped with heavy
cast iron burners. Each is rated at 15,000 BTU

and has a romly spark igniter for efficient lighting.

The burner grates are porcelain enamel over
cast iron for durability.

Each cooking center comes with a stainless steel
cover which doubles as a work surface. When

using the grill burners with the work surface in
place, be careful as heat can conduct from the
grill section and cause the work surface to heat up.

Never attempt to light the range-top burners
with the work surface in place.

Cover the range-top burners with the stainless
steel cover when not in use.

To light a

The Rotisserie System

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

Rotisserie

system

(onsomem_)dels)

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

The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal
gears and is capable of turning up to a 12, 15
or 20 lb. cut of meat or poultry, depending on
the model. The actual capacity-is limited by
clearance and motor torque.

Maxiraum 24" model ............. 12 lb. turkey

Maxiraum 27" model ............. 15 lb. turkey

Maximum 36", 48" models ......... 20 lb. turkey

The rotisserie burner (on some models) is an
infrared type which provides imense searing

radiant heat. This intense heat is magnificent
for searing in the natural,juices and nutrients
found in qualily 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.

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 inlo a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove
the grounding prong from the plug.

The rotisserie motor must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or,

in dae absence of local codes, with the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.

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

Assembly

On 24" models the motor is mounted by sliding
it down into place in the metal channel attached

to the right side of the grill. The skewer is
connected to the motor assembly by placing

the pointed end through the motor access hole
in the grill and into the motor. The left side of

the skewer rests in the grill groove.
On 27" models the motor is mounted to a metal

channel which attaches to the left side of the
grill and is tightened into place with a thumb

screw. Ensure that the motor is s_aight prior to
tightening the thumb screw.

The rotisserie motor on 36" and 48" models is
secured down to a cast rotisserie block with the
black screw-down knob. The rotisserie block is

in turn bolted to the right side panel.
On 36" and 48" models, dae skewer or the

rotisserie is attached to dae motor assembly- by
placing the pointed end into the motor and

resting the threaded end on the support at the
left side (right side on 27" models) of the grill.

With the skewer pushed as far as possible into
the motoi', the grooved skewer bushing should
rest on the left side bracket. (It will rest on the
right side on 27" models.)

The removable black handle should only be in
place when handling the skewer. Remove the

handle when cooking to allow the lid to close
and avoid melting the handle with heat from

the range-top burners (on some models).

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.

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 skewer

1. To load the skewer begin with the handle in
place and slide one of the meat holders, with

the prongs facing away from the handle,

onto the skewer.

2. Push the skewer through the center of the

the prongs toward the food, onto flae skewer.

3. Center the food on the skewer. Push tlae meat

holders filTflly together, (Some models have
grooves on the skewer to indicate the burner
position. Use them to position the meat
holdel_,) When cooking foods such as multiple

chickens, always place the thickest portion
of the food nearer the center of the skewer.

4. Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may be
necessary m wrap the food with butcher's

string to secure any loose portions. Never
use nylon or plastic sn-ing.

5. Once the ff)od is secure, insert the skewer

into the motor. If needed, remove the grill

The smoke

flavor tray

(on some modds)

For the 27" models, the smoke flavor tray is
localed directly beneath the rotisserie burner.

It is a stainless steel nay which is designed m
hold wood chips or herbs for adding a smoke

flavor to foods.
For dae 3(7' and 48" models, the smoke flavor

tray is located above a 5,000 BTU burner. The
burner is controlled by a precision brass valve
which is capable of being turned down m vmy

low heat levels. The smoker system may- be used
alone for low temperature roasting and

smoking or in conjunction with any
combination of other burners.

The tray may also be filled with water m
produce steam. Whedaer smoking or sleaming,

the lid should remain closed as much as
possible to maximize the effect.

Robseene -x\

I Sm0kef,av0rtray

Because of the location of the smokeflavor tray on 27" models,
the rotisserie burner acts as the burner for the smoke flavor tray.

y (36" and 48" models)

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 hick(n y. Mesquite has a sweeter
taste and is commonly used with pouhl y and

seafood. Hick(n y 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 dae chips in water prior m putting
them into the tray. In the beginning you may

want to use the HI position to start the chips
smoking, then reduce the heat m a lower level

to prevent them from drying out and flaming.

lfdae wood chips do flame up, add a small

amount of water to extinguish flae flame. This
should be done carefully through dae top of

the grill area, or by pulling the tray- out slightly.
To avoid steam burns, use caution when
adding water to a hot _ay. Never completely

remove a hot tray.

During extended roasting periods, it is normal

m add fresh wood chips to the tray several

times.
To minimize the possibility of burns, do not

remove the smoker _ay when hot.

(on some m_)dds)

Open the lid and remove the smoker tray. l,ocate
the burner visually by looking darough the cul-
out in the valve panel. Push and turn the control
knob to dae I,ITE position and immediately
turn dae smoker rotary ignitor knob (for 36" or
48" cooking centers) or the rotisserie rotal T
ignitor knob (for the 27" cooking centers) until
the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner
doesn't ignite, wait 5 minutes for any accumulated
gas to dissipale, then UTagain.

If the burner will not light after several
attempts, the burner can be match lit. On some
models, a match stick extension rod is provided
inside the grill drip pan. Insert an UNLIT
match stick securely- into the clip end of the
extension rod. To match light the smoker tray
burner, first slide the tray out to its fully
extended position. Keep your face as far away
fi'om 1he grill as possible, light the match stick
and, holding the end of the rod, pass the flame
of the lit malch flarough the grill rack, past dae

seconds, turn the knob to OFF. Wait 5 minutes,
for any accumulated gas to dissipate, before

uying m light the burner again. If dae burner
will not light after several attempts, see the
Problem Solver in dae back of this guide.

Once lit, fill the smoker way and replace.
When using dae smoker system in conjunction

with the optional infrared rotisserie burner,
you'll find it helpful to use the low setting of flae
smoker burner to minimize the heat rising up to
the rotisserie basting pan. Staggering dae meat
away fi'om the smoker burner also helps.

Care and Cleaning

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking" Center

Do not clean any of dae grill componems in a
self-cleaning oven or in a dishwasher.

Do not use a steel wool pad to clean any of the
grill components.

Grill components should be cleaned by hand
using wmxn sudsy-water and a Scotch Brite _ pad.

A brass bristle grill brush may-also be used.

Grill rack(s) 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
brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and
scrub the hot grill. Drip the brush frequently in

the bowl of water. Steam, created as water
contacts dae hot grill, assists the cleaning

process by softening any food particles. The
food particles will fall onto the hot lava rocks
or ceramic briquettes and burn or fall into the
drip tray (on some models). If the grill is
allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will

be more difficult.

For harder baked-on ff)od particles, remove flae
grill rack and soak if)r about one hour in wmxn
water. Lightly scrub with a Scotch Brite _'pad.

D@ trays

(o_zsome m_)dels)

The full width drip _ays will collect grease from Allow the pan and its contents to cool before
the grill section, as well as boilovers and spills attempting to clean. Clean the grease from flae
from the range4op burners (on some models), pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.

Lava rocks

Omsomem_)dels)

It is not necessal T to remove the lava rocks for
cleaning. They burn themselves clean during
the next cooking operation. Periodically the
rocks need to be turned over for a thorough
cleaning. How often you use dae grill and the
amount and type of food cooked will determine
when it is necessm T to turn the lava rocks.

If grease can be seen on the top of the rocks,
or if you get a lot of flare-ups during cooking,

the rocks need to be turned over and heated
on HIGH for about 30 minutes, longer for

heavy soil.

Ceramic

briquettes

(on some m_)dels)

The layer of ceramic briquetms, under flae grill
rack (s), will last for many years with propel" care.

Burned-on food particles and ash can be
emptied off the stainless steel radiant trays
when cool by shaking over a waste receptacle.

After emptying the ash from the trays, replace
them with the small tray in the back and the
large tray in the front. Make sure the briquettes
do not cover the holes in the _ay.

Chipping or cracking of the briquettes
may occur as they may- get brittle with age,
depending on dae frequency- of use. This is
normal and does not affect the performance.

Do not replace flae stainless steel radiant _ays
wifla alternates. Should the ceramic briquettes
ever need to be replaced, purchase them

locally, wherever outdoor cooking centers
are sold.

Replacing

a rota U
ignite*

Before replacing an igniler, perform this
simple test.

1. Remove the drip tray (on some models).

2. From underneafla the valve panel, look
upwards and locate the end of the igniler

wire, where it is connecled. Disconnect the
wire and place the metal blade of a

screwdriver about 1/8" from the lerminal
of the rotal T igniler.

3. Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good,
a spark will.jump across to the screwdriver.

If there is no spark, replace the igniter.

If flaere is a spark, examine the wire of the

electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine

the electrode for grease and debris or see if the

electrode tip is bent. Is the tip sparking to the

top of the electrode bracket?

The rotary igniter may be replaced from the
front by removing the drip pan (on some

models) and reaching behind the valve panel

I{)unplug the igniler wire. Remove the igniler
knob and the two mounting screws. (Reverse

the procedure to replace.) If removing the

valve panel is necessmT, begin by removing all

lhe control knobs, then remove the 4 corner

screws of the valve panel.

Spider and
insect

warning

Spiders and insects can nest in line burners or
orifices of Ihis or any outdoor gas appliance.
The presence of spiders, spider webs or other
insects can cause the gas l{)flow from the
fi'ont of the burner. This is a vmy dangerous

condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, damaging the cooking

cenler and making it unsafe for use.

You should inspect the burners at least once a

year or immediately if any of the following
conditions occur:

1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the
burner flames appearing yellow.

2. The grill or range-top burners do not reach

temperature.

3. The grill or range-top burneI.'s heat unevenly-.

4. The burners make popping noises.
If blockage exisL%clean the burnei.'s immedialely.

Burne*

removal

(on some models9

Ensure flae gas supply is off, flae knobs are in the
OFF position and all surfaces are cool before
removing a burner.

The grill and range-top burners are cast iron
coaled wifla porcelain enamel. Occasionally
it will be necessary to remove surface rust to
ensure proper performance. Frequency- of
cleaning will depend on the climate and
location and how often you use flae cooking

center. The walls of the burners are flaick so
they can withstand many years of use.
