For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious
Injury:
Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
CAUTION
Main Burner Igniter Lighting
Match Lighting
Apartment Dwellers:
NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A
buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is
h
azardous.
• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct
position specified in assembly instruc
tions.
• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove
coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from
specif
ied operation position.
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that
burn.
• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.
• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use
in enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch,
covered patio, or under an overhead structure of
any kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas
grill.
•U
Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch
fire, or to sources of ignition such as pilot lights on
water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.
Ʒ Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for
tightness.
Ʒ When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder
valve.
Ʒ Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
Ʒ Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns
and splatters.
Ʒ Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
Ʒ The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each
use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has completely cooled.
Ʒ 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.
Ʒ 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.
Ʒ 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.
Ʒ The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during
operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
Ʒ If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
Ʒ 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!

Cleaning the Burner Assembly
CAUTION
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve
openings. See illustrations below.
Storing Your 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 venturi’s.
clean the venturi’s.
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.
WARNING
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER ALERT!
CONTROL PANEL
VALVE
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.
SPIDER WEBS
INSIDE VENTURI
BURNER
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 pin from rear of burners.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into 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 into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
7. 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.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
.
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Indirect Cooking Instructions
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
2 Burner Cooking
WARNING:
USDA* Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures
USDA* Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill
by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit
burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or
poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly
reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no
direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.
Cook with direct or indirect heat.
Best for smaller meals or foods.
Consumes less fuel.
• 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 unlit burner(s).
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
• 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.
Great indirect cooking on low.
Produces slow, even heating.
Ideal for slow roasting and baking.
