▲ Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
▲ The drip tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each use
Do not remove drip tray until grill has completely cooled.
▲ 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 drip 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.
▲ 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 during
operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
▲ If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
▲ 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:
Check with management to learn the requirements
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.
8 • 146.34611411
CAUTION
• Putting out drip fires by closing the lid is not possible. Grills
are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a drip fire. Personal injury may result.
If a drip fire develops, turn knobs and LP cylinder off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning
off food residue on HI. If grill has not been regularly
cleaned, a drip fire can occur that may damage the

procedure.
6. To ignite other main burners after ignition burner is lit,turn a
control knob that is adjacent to a lit burner to Hi.
Ignite far left burner last.
7. To ignite the Side Burner, follow steps 3-5 using the Side
Burner knob.
If igniter does not work, follow Match Lighting instructions.
y
• 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 drip
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.
•Drip Tray and Cup: Regularly clean the drip drippings from the
Drip Tray and Drip 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 drip 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 tra
before using the grill again.
CAUTION
Storing Your Grill
•Clean cooking grates.
•Store in dry location.
•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturer once available.
•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner
A
s
sembly” instructions before starting grill.
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 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.
See Fig. A next page.
SPIDER ALERT!
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.
(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.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve
openings. See illustrations below.
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
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
10. 146.34611411
8. Carefully replace burners.
9. Attach burners to brackets with cotter pin. See Fig. B next
page.
10. Replace heat diffusers and cooking grates.
Burner Flame Check
WARNING
Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF when not
in use.
CAUTION
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the
• Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light burners, turn
knobs from HI to LO. You should see a smaller flame in
LO position than seen on HI. Perform burner flame check
on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If

LO
burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the
lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with
the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the
burner and could ignite with risk of injury.
Match Lighting
▲Do not lean over grill while lighting.
1. Open lid during lighting.
2. Place match into match holder (hanging on right back leg).
Light match, place into lighting hole on left side of firebox.
3. Turn right knob to HI position. Be sure burner lights and stay lit.
4. Light other burners follow with step 3.
Sideburner Match Lighting
1. Open sideburner lid. Turn on gas at LP cylinder.
2. Place lit match near burner.
3. Turn sideburner knob to HI. Be sure burner lights and stays lit.
Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off by turning
Igniter Check
• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic igniter
button. "Clicking" 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.
Cast Iron Grate Seasoning (if applicable)
First Use – Before first use, season cast iron grates as follows: Rinse
cast iron grates with hot water. Do not use soap. Dry grates
thoroughly with a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or
non-stick cooking spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly
raise temperature to 350° - 400° F. Heat grates for one hour. Turn
off grill and allow grates to cool completely before using to cook.
Cleaning – Do not use soap when cleaning grates. Clean grates with
a stiff brush and hot water. Dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel.
Re-seasoning – Re-season grates when rust spots appear on grate
surface. When re-seasoning grates, soap may be used with hot
water to clean grates. After cleaning, dry grates thoroughly with a
cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking
spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly raise temperature
to 350° - 400° F. Heat grates for one hour. Turn off grill and allow
grates to cool completely before using again.
.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of drip 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.
