Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle
brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces,
ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior
to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces
while grill is hot.
If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill
onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once.
Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect
valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a
leak test.
Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart)
free and clear of debris.
Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart
enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the
underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise

and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your
apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the
ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from
walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.
° NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A
buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is
hazardous.
° Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct
position specified in assembly instructions.
• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove
coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from
specified operation position.
• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may
result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and LP
cylinder off.

not in use.
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner
control off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure. DO NOT leave burner control knob in ON
position if burner does not light. If the burner does not
ignite with the valve open, gas will continue to flow out
of the burner and could accidently ignite with risk of
injury.

checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check
valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring
back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly
before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back
to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
•Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only identical
replacement part valve/hose/regulator as specified in the
Parts List of this Use and Care Guide.
Side burner Match Lighting
1. Open side burner lid. Turn on gas at LPcylinder.
2. Place lit match near burner.
3. Turn side burner knob to HI. Be sure burner lights and
stays lit.
General Grill Cleaning
•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong
solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with
scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow
to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven
cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution
or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill's high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy
water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-
on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic
cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid
damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
• Grease Tray and Cup: Regularly clean the grease drippings from
the Grease Tray and Grease Cup. When the grill has completely
cooled down after use, remove the cup from the tray and slide
the tray out of the grill. Clean the grease drippings from the cup
and tray surfaces by washing with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth. Slide the tray back into the grill and replace
the cup back into the tray before using the grill again.
SPIDER ALERT!
Drawer Removal and Replacement
Remove the two center drawers to clean grill interior surfaces as
described in the procedure below.
CAUTION: Be extremely careful of hand and finger placement
when removing or replacing drawers. Drawer and slider edges
can cut exposed skin. Wear protective gloves when removing or
replacing drawers.
1. Pull the top drawer out as far as it will go until it comes to a
stop.
2. On the drawer sliders, press the right release lever down and
the left release lever up at the same time. See Figure below.
3. CAREFULLY slide the drawer back about an inch. Now grasp
the drawer by the handle with both hands and pull it all the way
out of the grill.
4. Repeat the three previous steps for the bottom drawer.
5. To replace each drawer, insert the ends of the drawer sliders
into the ends of the drawer brackets on the grill. Push drawer in
all the way until it closes.
Storing Your Grill
*Clean cooking grates.
*Store in dry location.
*When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
wellventilated space and out of reach of children.
*Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturer.
*Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
*When removing grill from storage, follow "Cleaning the Burner
Assembly" instructions before starting grill.
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that
The flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the time to
check and clean the burner tubes.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create
"flashback" problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests
and lay eggs in the grill's burner tubes obstructing the
flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite
in the burner tube behind the control panel. This is known
as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even
cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the
burner and burner tube assembly should be removed
from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill
has been idle for an extended period.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of
burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3. Remove cotter pins from rear of burners.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
