USING THE GRILL:

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the
HI heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or
poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning.
This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or
basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking
time.

1. Make sure the grill has been leak-tested and is properly located.

2. Remove any packing material.

3. Light the grill burners using the instructions in this manual.

4. Turn the control knob to

5. The grill lid is to be closed during the preheat period.

6. Place food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary.

The control knob may be set to any position between the lowest and highest possible settings.

7. The grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any

kind. Heat is radiated by the porcelain-coated heat diffusers under the cast iron cooking
grids.

8. The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat, the faster the

meat browns.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE:

1. Keep the grill area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other

flammable vapors and liquids.

2. Keep the holes in the sides of the cart clear and free from debris, ensuring the flow

of combustion and ventilation air is unobstructed.

3. Visually check burner flames as following:

• Remove cooking grids and flame tamers.

• Light burners.

• Turn knobs from the highest to the lowest possible setting and check the flame status.
The flame in the lowest position should be smaller than in the highest position, as figure
shown below.

• Always check flame before each use. See “Troubleshooting” if any abnormal status is
found.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
COOKING AREA CLEANING

The easiest way to clean the grill is to clean it immediately after turning off the flame when
cooking is completed. 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. Dip the brush
frequently in the water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning
process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall and burn. Never immerse a hot
part in water.

GRILL BURNER CLEANING

• Be sure the tank valve and the control knobs are in the OFF position. Make sure the grill is cool.

• Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal
scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden
toothpick since it may break off and clog the port.

• Please note that if insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas through the
burner, you will need to call Consumer Affairs.

VERY IMPORTANT: The orifice of the valve must be located in the center of the burner
section after removal and cleaning. Otherwise, it may cause serious bodily injury and
property damage. Swing the burner slightly after replacing to check whether it has been
installed properly.

GREASE TRAY CLEANING

The grease tray should be emptied, wiped down periodically, and washed in a mild detergent and
warm water solution. A small amount of sand may be placed in the bottom of the grease tray to
absorb the grease.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners after storing. The se nests can cause fires in side the
tube or beneath the grill. This is a very dangerous condition. Always cle an the burners befo re
use.

WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS

Inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:

1. Yellow flame with burning smell.

2. Temperature will not rise.

3. Heats unevenly.

4. Burners make popping noises.
