•
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.

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.
•

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
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
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
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.

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 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 nosie. A low volume of nosie is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation of the grill. If humming nosie 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 Customer Service Helpline for
assistance.

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.
F, depending on
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.

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,

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

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 attem pt 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. W hen 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 grill, the tank is
out dated and m ust 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
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:
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 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 requiresthegrilllidtobeup.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.
