National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z21.58a-2006/CSA

1.6a-2006 Natural Gas and Propane 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. This safety feature

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

FOR YOUR SAFETY

WARNING

Installation

Page 3

The LP gas tank has a Shut Off Valve, terminating

1. 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 36 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 tank 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 must 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 grill 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 time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help call the Grill Information Center.

Natural Gas Safety Instructions

•

Your Natural Gas Grill is designed to operate on

Natural Gas only, at a pressure of 7" water column

(W.C.) (1/4 psig or 1.75 kpa), regulated at the

residential meter. Check with your gas utility com-

pany for local gas pressure and with your local

municipality for building code requirements. If your residential gas line pressure has not been

regulated to 7" W.C., contact your local gas utility

company for professional assistance.

•

The gas pressure Regulator supplied with this appliance must be used. This Regulator is set

for an outlet pressure of 4" W.C.

•

It is recommended that a Shut Off Valve be installed at the gas supply source outdoors. Install at a point after the gas pipeexits the outside wall andbefore the Quick Disconnect Hose, or install it at the point before the gas line piping enters the ground. See

Figure 1.

•

Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape resistant to the action of Natural Gas must be used on all male pipe threads when making the connection.

•

Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This gas grill and its individual Shut Off Valve must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of that system at pressure in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).

•

Turn off your gas grill when the gas supply is tested at low pressures. The grill must be

isolated from the gas supply pipe system

by closing its individual Manual Shut Off Valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pipe system at pressures equal to

or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).

•

The Quick Disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch

NPT thread from gas source. The Quick

Disconnect fitting is a hand operated device

that automatically shuts off the the flow of

gas from the source when it is disconnected.

•

The Quick Disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally,or pointing downward.DO NOT install the fitting with the opening pointing

upward because the fitting could collect water

and debris.

•

The Dust Covers (plastic plugs) provided with the Quick Disconnect help keep the open

ends clean while disconnected.

•

The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to

a ridged permanent construction.

Gas Line Piping

If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of . 062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe.

Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.

Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.

Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover.

Test Connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58a-2006

/CSA1.6a-2006

DANGER

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

•

The Quick Disconnect MUST BE installed above ground.

•

WARNING: Do not route the 10 foot Quick

Disconnect Hose under a deck. The hose must

be visible and inspected prior to each grill use.

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 neces-

sary parts are included. Inspect all parts for

damage as you proceed. Do not operate your

grill if it appears damage. If you have ques-

tions during the assembly process, call

8:00am - 5:00pm EST, Monday through Friday,

1-800-667-7313

Remove white PVC protective film from stain-

less 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 screws from the rear of each burner using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.

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

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

common 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 - also used to

•

remove the screws from the rear of each burner when cleaning the Burners

Open-end wrench (included with Hardware

•

Pack) used to tighten the Casters.

Use a Burner Cleaning Brush, or a bottle

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

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.

Electrode Check

Requires and assistant:

Before placing the cooking components into your grill, insure that the Spark Electrode Tip is properly positioned within each Gas Collector Box (stainless steel mechanism found at the front between each set of Burners.) The easiest way to insure this is to perform this Electrode Check:

1. Be sure all Control Knobs are set to "OFF" and open the Grill Lid.

2. Have an assistant stand behind to the right of the grill and look down at each Gas Collector Box. NEVER put your face inside Grill Head.

3. Push Ignition Cap. You should hear a clicking

sound and your assistant should see a small

blue spark within each Gas Collector Box.

If a spark is present the Electrode Tips are

properly positioned.

4. If no spark is seen the Spark Gap shown in Figure 15 needs to be adjusted as follows:

Ignitor AA battery not installed properly.

•

Ignitor wires may be loose. Remove the AA

•

battery, inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found behind the Control Panel, and connect

any loose wires.

Using your Infrared

Back Burner and Rotisserie

Your new grill includes an Infrared Back Burner and a Rotisserie designed to slowly cook foods that are moist and flavorful, because the turning food self bastes using infrared heat. The location of the Back Burner allows the placement of a basting pan beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan you may add herbs, onions, or other spices of your choice. The Rotisserie Burner is Infrared, which provides intense radiant heat. This intense heat is magnificent for searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.

Rotisserie cooking is a slow cooking process and the maximum temperature you can expect to reach with the Lid closed is about 425 to 450 weather conditions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be used, including the following:

Read All Instructions:

1. Always attach the Rotisserie to the grill first,and then plug cord into a grounded outlet. To disconnect, turn Rotisserie "OFF" then remove plug from outlet.

2. Most grill surfaces and accessories are hot during and after cooking, so use reasonable care around grill, wear flame retardant BBQ mitt and use the

Rotisserie Handle.

3. The use of accessory attachments on the Rotisserie is not recommended by the manufacture and may cause injuries.Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

4. Never line the bottom of your Grill Bowl with aluminum foil, sand or any grease absorbent substance.

5. Should a grease fire occur, turn the Burners and gas off and leave the Lid CLOSED until fire is out.

6. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse electrical cord, plug or motor in water

or expose to rain. Protect electrical elements

from burners, hot grill surfaces and grease.

7. Do not operate rotisserie with a damaged cord or

plug, or if the rotisserie malfunctions or has

been damaged in any manner.

8. Do not let children operate grill or rotisserie, and

do not let children play nearby.

9. Unplug rotisserie motor from electrical outlet when

not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before

adding or removing parts.

10. When rotisserie cooking place a drip pan of some sort under the food to be cooked. This will

capture the drippings and keep grill clean of

excess grease which could cause a fire. Use

caution when moving a drip pan containing hot

oils.

11. The motor is set for 120VAC, 50/60 Hz current.

12. This rotisserie is for use outdoors only.

Back Burner Lighting Instructions

Note: The location of the Back Burner makes it more

susceptible to winds that will decrease the performance of your Rotisserie cooking. For this reason you should not operate the Back Burner during windy weather conditions.

For best results, always Rotisserie cook with the grill Lid down and the Back Burner Control Knob set to High. Do not use the main grill Burners when the Back Burner is in operation.

1. Open the Grill Lid.

2. Set all Control Knobs to OFF and open the LP

gasTank Valve s

3. Push and turn the Back Burner Control Knob to "HI/Ign"

and press the electric ignitor 4-5 seconds to light the

burner. Hold the knob in 10 seconds before releasing.

4. If ignition does not take place within 5 seconds, turn

all burner valve knobs to OFF, wait 5 minutes, then repeat lighting instruction.

The Rotisserie Motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990. Keep the Rotisserie Motor electric cord away from the heated surface of the grill. Do not operate the Rotisserie with a damaged cord or plug, or if the Rotisserie malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Call theGrill Information Center for replacement. The power supply cord has a 3-prong grounded plug. For your personal safety do not remove the grounding prong. It must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Codes and local codes and ordinances. If an extension cord is used it must be properly grounded and suitable for use with Outdoor Appliances. Keep the extension cord connection dry, off of the ground and out of the reach of children. When the Rotisserie Motor is not in use remove and store in a dry indoor area.

lowly until 1/4 to 1/2 open.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Keep 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 ti mely 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

Befor e initial use and as needed, wipe your Grids with a clean cloth and apply a thin coating of cooking oil. 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 Flame Tamers work equally well on either side. Do not immerse in water.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior

Use a fiber or brass cleaning brush to clean 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.

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.

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

Check eachSpark Electrode, adjusting as needed.

8. The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark Receiver should be approximately 3/16".

Replace the Burners and adjust the gas collector

9. 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

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

effect 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 lid 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 the Burner farthest from the fuel source

first. This draws gas across the Manifold helping prevent 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 m ay need replacing.



Ignition wires may be loose. Remove the 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 16.



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?

Cooking Grids: Before initial use and as needed, wipe Grids with a clean cloth and apply a thin coating of

cooking oil. For stubborn food residue use a 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 Tam ers with a fiber type brush and turn over to allow the burner heat to burn off any stuborn food residue. The Flame Tamers work

equall y well on either side.

Grease Tray, Receptacle and Heat Shield:

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 Cleaner and soft cloth t o r em ove 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 into the grease draining tray and receptacle.

Failure to comply 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,

searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue off the grill after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.

Medium to Low settings: Most recipes specify medium to low settings, including alls moking,roasting, baking and for cooking lean cuts such as fish.

NOTE: Temperature settings will vary with the amount of wind and temperature outside your home.

Direct Cooking

The direct cooking method can be used with the supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over the lit grill Burners. Direct cooking requires thegrilllidtobeup.This method is ideal for searing and whenever you want meat, poultry or fish to have an open-flame barbecued taste. Deep frying and smoking are also best cooked in this manner

because they require direct heat.
