Food Safety Food safety isa very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep foodsafe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils,and surfaces with hot soapywater
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: 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: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly. For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 (in Washington, DC(202) 720-3333, 10:00 am- 4:00 pm EST).
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coathanger 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 sureair comes out each hole.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burnerto removefood residue and dirt.
8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
9. Check burnerfor damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. Ifany large cracks or
holes are found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve
openings. See illustrations at right.
10. Attach electrode to burner.
11. Carefully replace burners.
12. Attach burners to brackets onfirebox.
13. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replaceflame tamers and
cooking grates.

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
Meat and poultry cookedon a grill often brownsvery fast onthe outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached
a safeinternal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signsof doneness.
Whole poultry should reach 165° F.Juices should run clear and flesh should not bepink.
Hamburgers made of any ground meator poultry should reach
160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pinkjuices. 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 meator poultry and finish cookinglater. Cook food completely to destroy harmfulbacteria.
When reheating takeout foods orfully cooked meats like hot dogs, grillto 165° F,or until steaming hot.
WARNING: Toensure that it is safe to eat, food must be cooked to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table below.
