National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code.

Correct LP Gas Tank Use

LP gas grill models are designed for use with
a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas)
tank, not included with grill box. Never connect
your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds
this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches
in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maxi­mum size LP gas tank to use. You must use

an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed
Overfill Prevention Device. Thissafetyfeature

prevents the tank from being overfilled which can
cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, Regulator
and/or grill.

WARNING

2

1.

The LP gas tank has a Shut Off Valve, terminating
in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is
compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device.
The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief
device that has a direct communication with the
vapor space of the tank.

The tank supply system must be arranged for

2.
vapor withdrawal.
The LP gas tank used must have a collar

3.
to protect the tank valve.

Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,

breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is to
be used outdoors only, at least 24 inches from the back
and side of any combustible surface. Your gas grill
should not be placed under any surface that will burn.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air around the
gas grill housing.

This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

!

WARNING

Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in a fire or explosion that could
cause serious bodily injury, death, or prop­erty damage.

•

Never connect an unregulated LP gas t ank to
your gas grill. The gas Regulator assembly
supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have

an outlet pressure of 11" water column (W .C.)

for connection to an LP gas tank.

• Only use the Regulator and Hose Assembly

supplied with your gas grill . Replacement

Regulators and Hose Assemblies must be

those specified by manufacturer.

• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable propane

gas dealer and visually inspected and

re-qualified at each filling.

• Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full.

Have your propane gas dealer check the release

valve after every filling to ensure that it remains

free of defects.

• Always keep LP gas tanks in upright position.

• Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.

• An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must

NOT be stored on bottom shelf inside cabinet or in
the vicinity of this or any other gas grill.

• Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.

• Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you

store your gas grill in the garage or other indoor
location, always disconnect the LP gas tank

first, store it safely outside.

• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a

well-ventilated area and out of the reach of

children. Disconnected LP gas tanks must not

be stored in a building, garage or any other

enclosed area.

• When your gas grill is not in use the gas

must be turned off at the LP gas tank.

• The Regulator and Hose assembly m ust be

inspected before each use of the grill. If there
is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose
is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill

being used again.

• Keep the gas Regulator Hose away from hot

grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid
unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect

hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks,

excessive wear or other damage. If the Hose

appears damaged do not use the gas grill, call
our Customer Service Dept. for a replacement,

at 1-800-667-7313.

• Never light your gas grill with the Lid closed

or before checking to insure the Burner Tubes

are fully seated over the Gas Valve Orifices.

• Never allow children to operate your grill. Do

not allow children to play near your grill.

!

WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas
indicates a serious problem with your gas gri ll
or the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow
the steps listed below could result in a fire or
explosion that could cause serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.

• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.

• Put out any flame with a Class B fire

extinguisher.

• Open Grill Lid.

• Get away from the LP gas tank.

• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

• If odor continues or you have a fire you cannot

extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call
near the LP gas tank because your telephone is
an electrical device and could create a spark

resulting in fire and/or explosion.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
Regulator and Hose Assembly can create a
humming sound. A low volume of sound is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with opera­tion of the grill. If humming sound is loud and
excessive you may need to purge air from the
gas line or reset the Regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be done
every tim e a new LP gas tank is connected to
your grill. For help call the Grill Information
Center.

Assembly Instructions For Your Safety

During unpacking, assembly and construction
stages always wear work gloves and eye
protection.
As you unpack this gas grill from shipping
box, use the parts list to ensure all neces­sary parts are included. Inspect all parts for
damage as you proceed. Do not operate your
grill if it appears damage. If you have ques­tions during the assembly process, call
8:00am - 5:00pm EST, Monday through Friday,
1-800-667-7313
Remove white PVC protective film from stain­less steel surfaces before initial use.
CAUTION:
While it is possible for one person to unpack
this gas grill, obtain assistance from another
person when handing the large and heavy
grill head.

Before Using Your Grill

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see
CAUTION at left) clean the Burner Tubes and
Burners before fully assembling your grill. Re­move the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of
each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to Figure 1 and
perform one of these three cleaning methods:

Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger

1.

works well) into a small hook as shown
below. Run the hook through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to
remove any debris.

CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasion-

ally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner
tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs
can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could
result in a fire in and around the Burner Tubes.
This type of fire is known as a "FLASHBACK"
and can cause serious damage to your grill and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed Burner Tube is not the
only cause of "FLASHBACK", it is the most
comm on cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK", you
must clean the Burner Tubes before assembling
your grill, and at least once a month in late
summer or early fall when spiders are most active.
Also perform this Burner Tube cleaning procedure
if your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.

Tools Required for Assembly

Phillips Head screw driver

•

Long nose pliers - used to remove the

•

Cotter Pin when cleaning the Burners
Open-end wrench (included with Hardware

•

Pack) used to tighten the Casters.

Use a Burner Cleaning Brush, or a bottle

2.

brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush
through the Burner Tube and inside the
Burner several times, removing any debris.

Use an air hose to force air through each

3.

Burner Tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstructions through the Burner
and out the ports.

WARNING!

The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check
to ensure the Orifice is inside the Burner Tube
before using your gas grill. See Figure 2.Ifthe
orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the
Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Keeping outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear
and free from comustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.

As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep your grill in top operating
condition and prolong its life. By following these
cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your grill will
stay clean and work properly with minimum effort.

CAUTION:

Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.

Cleaning The Cooking Grids

Before initial use and as needed, wash your Grids
with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water. For
stubborn food residue use a degreaser and fiber or
brass cleaning brush.

Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle

To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining
Tray, Grease Receptacle and Heat Shield should be
inspected before each grill use. Remove grease
(a plastic spatula works well) and wash Grease Tray
and Receptacle with a mild soap and warm water
solution.

Cleaning the Flame Tamers

To reduce the chance of flare-ups, Flame Tamers
should be cleaned whenever food or grease drip­pings accumulate. Brush off Flame Tamers with a
fiber type brush and turn over to allow the burner
heat to burn off any stuborn food residue. The
Ceramic Flame Tamers work equally well on
either side.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior

Use a fiber or brass cleaning brush to cl ean the
interiorGrill Bowl, Cooking Grids, Flame Tamers and
grease containers. On porcelain finished parts never
use a wire brush or metal scraper which can scratch

or chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting.

1. Turn all Control Knobs to the full OFF position.

Cover each gas ValveOrifice with aluminum foil.

5.

Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a

6.
brass wire brush or fiber cleaning pad, and wash
with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse
thoroughly and let dry.

7.

Remove aluminum foil from Orifices and check
each Ori fice for obstruction.

Check eachSpark Electrode, adjusting as needed.

box. The edge of the collector box should be
overlapping the Burner Port.

Replace Flame Tamers and the Cooking Grids.

10.

Reconnect the gas source and observe the Burner

11.
flame for correct operation.

Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

Weathering and high heat can cause a stainless
steel grill Lid to turn tan in color. This is not to be
confused with rust and is not a product defect.
Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of
stainless steel as well as cooking oils and a dirty
grill Lid can also encourage discoloration if the Lid
is not cleaned prior to grill use.

1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect

fuel line from Gas Valve Manifold. Protect fuel

line fitting.

2. Use a Stainless Steel Cleaner and soft cloth to
remove residual adhesive and oils from the in

side and outside of your grill Lid. Never use

abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to

the initial cleaning, routine cleaning to remove

dirt, grease and oils will help discourage Lid dis
coloration.

2. Turn the LP gas Tank Valve to the full OFF position.

3. Detach the LP gas Regulator assembly from your gas
grill or disconnect the Quick Disconnect Hose from the
gas source.

4. Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Cooking

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Can I convert my grill from LPG to NG?
Answer: No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact

specifications and is certified for Liquid Propane (LPG)
or Natural Gas (NG) use only. For your safety,
conversion kits are not available. Any attempt to
convert your grill will void your warranty.

Question: The Hose and Regulator supplied with my
grill does not fit the older LPG tank I've used for years.

Answer: U.S. Government regulates gas appliances
and LP gas tanks. When regulations are changed the
LP gas tank fittings are altered to insure compliance.
If your LP gas tank does not fit the Hose and
Regulator supplied with your new gril l, the tank is
outdated and must be replaced. Note: Effective April
1, 2002 all LP gas tanks sold must include an OPD
Overflow Protection Device. This internal device
prevents the LP gas tank from being overfilled. Tanks
without an OPD val ve can not be refi lled.

Question: Are the serial and model numbers of my grill
listed somewhere for future reference?

Answer: The model and serial numbers are listed on
a Silver Label placed on the Control Panel bottom
right-hand side. If your grill features a Side Burner, it
will have its own silver label and a model number
ending in SB. This is not the primary grill model
number or serial number needed for Product Warranty
Registration or for Customer Support purposes.

Question: What causes grill parts to rust and what af
fect does it have on the grill materials.

Answer: Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may
appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect short
term performance of your grill. Stainless steel grill parts will
not rust. However, weathering and extreme heat can cause
a stainless steel Lid to turn tan color. This is discoloration
and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

Question: My grill does not light properly. Why?
Answer: Always light theBurner farthest from the fuel source

first. This d ra ws gas across t he Manifold hel ping prev ent air
pockets which obstruct gas flow. Also check these causes:



Check LP gas supply. An empty LP gas tank weights
about 20 pounds. A full tank weighs about 40 pounds.



Check to insure all gas connections are secure.



The Ignition AA battery may need replacing.



Ignition wires may be loose. Removethe battery, inspect
the Ignitor Junction Box found behind the Control Panel
and connect any loose wires.



Spark Electrode Tips may need repositioning. Refer to
the electrode Check” procedures found on page 15.



Check that the end of each Burner Tube is
properly located over each Gas Valve Orifice.



There may be an obstruction in the gas line. To correct
this, remove LP gas Hose and Regulator or Natural Gas
fuel line from your grill. Do not smoke! Open gas supply
for one second to clear any obstruction from fuel line.
Close off gas supply at source and reconnect fuel line to
your grill.



If an obstruction is suspected in the Orifice or Gas
Valves, call the Customer Service Helpline, at
1-800-667-7313.

Question: My grill has a low flame and sometimes
will not light. Why?

Answer: You need to purge air from the gas line or reset
the Regulator excess gas flow device. Opening the tank
valve all the way or too quickly triggers the Regulators
safety device to shut down gas flow which prevents
excessive gas flow to your grill. Lighting the Burner
farthest from the fuel source every time will help eliminate
air pockets in the Manifold. Perform this procedure every
time a new LP tank is connected to grill:

Turn all Control Knobs to the OFF position.



Turn off the LP gas tank valve.



Disconnect Regulator from LP gas tank.



Let unit stand for 5 minutes.



Reconnect Regulator to the LP gas tank.



Open Grill Lid or Side Burner Lid. Turn the



tank valve on s
Light the Burner farthest from fuel source by



turning its Control Knob to IGN then pushing
in the Control Knob. To light the Side Burner
push its Control Knob in and turn to HIGH.

Question: Sometimes I hear a humming sound
coming from my Regulator. What causes this?

Answer: The humming sound is gas flowing through
the Regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will
not interfere with the operation of your grill. If the
humming sound is loud and excessive you need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the Regulator excess gas
flow device as described above.

Question: How and when do I clean the interior
cooking components of my grill?

Stainless Steel Cooking Grids: Before initial useand
as needed, wash Grids with a mild detergent and rinse
with hot water. For stubborn food residue usea degreaser
and fiber or brass cleaning brush.

Flame Tamers: To reduce the chance of flare-ups,
Flame Tamers should be cleaned whenever food
or grease drippings accumulate. Brush off
Flame Tamers with a fiber type brush and turn
over to allow the burner heat to burn off any
stuborn food residue. The Ceramic Flame Tamers
work equally well on either side.

Grease Tray, Receptacle and Heat Shield:

To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining
Tray, Grease Receptacle and Heat Shield should
be inspected before each grill use. Remove grease
(a plastic spatula works well) and wash Grease
Tray and Receptacle with a mild soap and warm
water solution.

Question: What causes a stainless steel to discolor?
Answer: Weathering and high heat can cause a

stainless steel grill Lid to turn tan in color. This is not to
be confused with rust and is not a product defect.
Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of
stainless steel, cooking oils and a dirty grill Lid can
also encourage discoloration if the Lid is not cleaned
prior to grill use. After your grill is assembled, remove
the protective PVC film from the grill Lid and use a
Stainl ess Steel Cl eaner and soft cloth to remove
residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside
of your grill Lid. Never use abrasive cleaners or
scrubbers. Routine cleaning to remove dirt, grease and
oils will help discourage Lid discoloration.

Cooking Instructions

WARNING!

Your grill will get very hot. Never lean over

the cooking area while using your grill. Do
not touch cooking surfaces, grill housing,
Grill Lid or any other grill parts while the grill
is in operation, or until the grill has cooled
down after use.

Failure to comply with these instructions
may result in serious bodily injury.

Burn-off

Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you
will want to "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or
foreign matter. Just ignite the Burners, lower the Lid,
and operate grill on the HIGH setting for three to five
minutes.

CAUTION:

Operating your grill on the HIGH setting for longer than
five minutes may damage certain parts of your grill. Do

not leave your grill unattended.
Preheating

To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the lid and
follow this timetable:

For high temperature cooking, preheat grill

•

3 to 5 minutes.
For low temperature cooking, preheat grill

•

3 minutes.
To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.

•

Indirect Cooking

The indirect cooking method can also be used with
the supplied cooking grids. To cook indirectly,
the food should be placed on the left or right side
of your grill with the burner lit on the opposite side.

Indirect cooking must be done with the lid
down.

Flare-Ups

The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably,
distinctive taste and color to food cooked over an
open flame, they should be accepted up to a point.
Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can
result in a ruined meal.

!

WARNING

Do not line the bottom of the grill housing
with aluminum foil, sand or any substance
that will restrict the flow of grease i nto
the grease draining tray and receptacle.

Failure to compl y with these instructions
could result in a fire or explosion which
could cause serious bodily injury, death,
or property damage.

Cooking Temperatures

High setting: Only use this setting for fast warm-up,
