A 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.

A If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill

Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve.
Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free

and clear of debris.

A Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure that

would block the flow of combustion air to the undeside of either
the control panel or the firebox bowl.

A The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during

operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.

A If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
A If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve

immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it
should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

' Apartment Dwellers:

Burner Flame Check

• Remove cooking grates and flame tamers. Light burners, rotate
knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in

LOW position than seen on HIGH. Perform burner flame check
on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If
only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in
the Troubleshooting Section.

Turning Grill Off

• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off by turning

Ignitor Check

• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor
button. "Click" should be heard and spark seen each time
between collector box or burner and electrode. See
"Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.

Valve Check

• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before
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

valve/hose/regulator as specified in the parts list of this Use & Care
Guide.

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.

• 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
n.onabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill's high guality

appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease
deposits may reguire 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.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes

are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in

which spiders tend to build nests.

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 venturi's.

Spiders or small Insects have been known to create “flashback”
problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs In the grill's
venturi tube (s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The
backed-up gas can Ignite in the venturi 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
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned

6. Carefully liff each burner up and away from valve openings.

We suggesf three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.

(A) Bend a sfiff wire (a lighf weighf coaf hanger works well)

info a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube several times.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not

use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner tube several times.

(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air info

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each

port to make sure air comes out each hole.

7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirf.

8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.

9. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and
corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large
cracks or holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve
openings. See illustrations at right.

10. Affach elecfrode to burner.

Indirect Cooking

Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill
by indirect heat. Place food over unlif burner(s); the heat from lif
burners circulafes genfly throughouf the grill, cooking meat or
poultry without the touch of a direcf flame. This method greatly
reduces flare-ups when cooking exfra faffy cufs because there is no
direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.

1 Burner Cooking

Cook with direct or indirect heat.

Best for smaller meals or foods.
Consumes less fuel.

Indirect Cooking Instructions

• Always cook with the lid closed.

• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During
cold and windy conditions the temperature setting may
need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking
temperature.

• Place food over over unlif burner(s).

QPf,

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacferia,
follow these four basic sfeps:

Clean: Wash hands, ufensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water

before and affer handling raw meaf and poulfry.

Separate: Separafe raw meafs and poulfry from ready-fo-eaf

foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meaf and poulfry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a

thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperafures.

Chill: Refrigerafe prepared foods and leftovers prompfly. For
more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at
1-800-535-4555 (In Washington, DC [phone],10:00 am

4:00 pm EST).

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast

on the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has

reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to

check for visual signs of doneness.

• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should

reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices
Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be

cooked to 145° F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.

• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking

later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like

hot dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.

2 Burner Cooking

Great indirect cooking on low.
Produces slow, even heating.
Ideal for slow roasting and baking.

WARNING: To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be cooked

to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table below.
