GRILLING GUIDE – Getting Started

First Time Use

Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put
together properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising
material from all grill surfaces before first use. We
recommend operating your grill on its highest setting for 15­20 minutes prior to your first use. This aids in removing the
oils used during manufacturing.

Lava Rock / Briquettes

This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to
be used with flame tamers or heat distribution plates to
provide more even heating, improve the cleaning process,
and reduce flare-ups. The addition of after market lava
rocks, charcoal, or briquettes of any type will cause poor
combustion and increase the likelihood of a grease fire, and
is not recommended. Using briquettes, lava rock, or
charcoal in this grill will void your warranty. For extra
smoke flavor, we recommend using a smoker box with wood
chips.

Temperature

The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill
measures air temperature. The air temperature inside your
grill will never be as hot as the temperature at the cooking
surface.

Note: Since 1995, all regulators (the part that attaches to
the gas tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a
safety feature that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas
leak. You can inadvertently activate this safety feature
without having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you
turn on the gas using the grill control knob before you turn
on the LP tank valve. If the gas regulator safety feature
activates, the grill will only reach temperatures between
250°F and 300°F even with all burners on the high setting.

Regulator

Coupling Nut

If your grill is not getting hotter than 250°F to 300°F these
steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety
device:

1. Open the grill lid.

2. Turn off all knobs on the control panel in front.

3. Turn off the tank knob.

4. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.

5. Wait 30 seconds.

6. Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank.

7. Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way. Do not put
excessive force on the valve at the full open position to
avoid damaging the valve.

8. Turn on the appropriate control knob and light the grill
per the instructions on the control panel.

An illustration of this process is included in this Product
Guide. See Troubleshooting section for additional
information.

Pre-Heating Your Grill

Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated to
provide optimum performance. Pre-heat the grill on high for
10-15 minutes – longer if weather conditions require. Please
refer to the lighting instructions inside the Product Guide if
you have questions about how to light your grill. A match­light chain and hole is provided for your convenience.

GRILLING GUIDE – Grilling 101

Outdoor grilling is really quite simple. You'll succeed with
burgers, dogs, or steaks usually on your very first try. With
experience, you will learn how to work with your grill,
creating more imaginative meals all the time. This
knowledge makes up the art of grilling. Before you start
grilling, organize your food according to cooking technique
and required cooking time, and optimize the use of your
grilling area.

Direct Cooking

Direct cooking involves grilling your meat directly over high
heat. It is perfect for searing steaks, chops, and other
smaller pieces of meat and vegetables that quickly make
their way to the table.

Rotisserie Cooking

Rotisserie cooking is best for 'round' meat, such as large
roasts, whole poultry, and pork. It generally requires an
accessory motor and spit rod that allows the meat to be
turned at a constant speed. Rotisserie cooking is best done
in front of a special rotisserie burner, or utilizing an indirect
cooking burner arrangement. A pan can be placed
underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings,
and helps minimize clean-up.

Indirect Cooking

Indirect cooking utilizes select burners to circulate heat
throughout the grill, without direct contact between the
meat and the flame. The meat is placed over the burner
that is 'off'. This method is generally used to slow cook
large cuts of meat and poultry. A pan can be placed
underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings,
and helps minimize clean-up.

Food Safety

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:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy
water before and after handling raw meat.
Separate: Separate raw meats 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.

Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it
is recommended to remain outside with your grill while
cooking. Grilling can be affected by many external
conditions. In cold weather, you will need more heat to
reach an ideal cooking temperature, and grilling may take
longer. The meat's internal temperature and thickness can
also affect cooking times. Cold and thicker meats will take
longer to cook.

Internal Meat Temperatures

Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has
reached safe internal temperatures.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency

Recommended Internal cooking tempeaures

Wood Chips

For extra smoke flavor when grilling, try adding wood
chips. Soak the chips in water for approximately 30
minutes before adding to a smoke box or pan. Place smoke
box or pan on top of the cooking grate above the flame.
Turn grill on high until the wood starts to smoke. Reduce
heat to desired temperature for cooking, and place food on
cooking grate as desired. Close lid to retain more smoke.
Hardwood varieties that work particularly well with grilled
foods include Alder, Apple, Cherry, Grapevines, Hickory,
Mesquite, Oak, Rosemary and Sassafras.

Skewers

Metal skewers should be flat, with long handles. Round
skewers allow food to roll when turned, so it may not cook
as evenly. Use metal skewers when cooking meat kabobs.
Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for an hour
before use, and are best used for quick cooking foods such
as vegetables and fruits.

Sauces

Sauces containing sugars and fats can cause flare-ups, and
your food may burn. In general, apply these sauces during
the final 10 minutes of cooking. Keep in mind, use of
excessive sauces or glazes will also require extra cleaning
afterwards.

Marinades and Rubs

To enhance the flavor of grilled foods, a liquid marinade or
dry rub can be used prior to cooking. Meat can be either
soaked or injected with liquid marinade up to 24 hours
prior to grilling. Dry rubs can be applied directly to the
meat immediately before grilling.

6 • 466724112

Utensils

Use tongs or a spatula to handle the food instead of a fork,
and don't turn the food too
often. Piercing the food
with a fork will release
juices that you want in
the meat, and may
cause flare-ups.

GRILLING GUIDE – Cleaning Your Grill

Why Clean?

We've all heard the saying, “an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.” This is great advice when it comes
to keeping your grill clean.

Routine Care

Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary,
as grill fires can occur when grease and
food debris collect in the bottom of the grill.
After each use, remove any remaining
food particles from the cooking grate and
inside of the grill using a grill brush. Do
this after the grill has cooled down, yet is
still warm. It is much easier to clean food
particles while warmth is still present, than
after the food particles have completely
cooled and hardened. This grill is not
designed to be 'burned off' by closing the
lid and turning the burners on High for an
extended time. The excessive heat
generated can cause leftover grease to
catch fire, and can cause permanent
damage to your grill.

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.

Storing Your Grill

• Clean cooking grates.

• Store grill 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.

• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off,

disconnected, and removed from grill. Never store LP
cylinder indoors.

• When removing grill from storage, follow the 'Cleaning

the Burner Assembly' instructions in the Use and Care
section of the Product Guide.

General Cleaning

Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use 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 glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder
for stubborn stains.

Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive
cleaner and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft non­abrasive cloth.

Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain
conditions. This can be caused by environmental conditions
such as chlorine or salt water, or improper
cleaning tools such as wire or steel
wool. It can also discolor due to heat,
chemicals, or grease build-up. To
maintain your grill's high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent
and warm water, or use a stainless
steel grill cleaner. 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.

Critters

Spiders like to make their homes in the venturi tubes of
grills. These must be inspected and cleaned regularly to
ensure there are no blockages. Refer to the Use and Care
portion of this Product Guide for complete information.

8 • 466724112

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced.
For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to
rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly
when mixed with air.

LP Tank Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP dealer must purge new tank before filling.

• Dealer should NEVER fill LP Tank more than 80% of LP Tank

volume. Volume of propane in tank will vary by temperature.

• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close
LP Tank valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.

• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere.
This is a hazardous practice.

• To remove gas from LP Tank, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP
dealers.

LP Tank Exchange

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP tank through an exchange service.
Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect,
precision fill, test and certify their tanks. Exchange your

tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as
described in the "LP Tank" section of this manual.

• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright
position during use, transit or storage.

• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE

connecting to grill.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the

cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on
the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage
of propane.

LP Tank Leak Test

For your safety

• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged

or refilled.

• Do not smoke during leak test.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,

away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open
flames or sparks.

covered patio, or under an overhead structure of
any kind.

• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas
grill. (Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)

• Do not cover grates with aluminum foil or any
other material. This will block burner ventilation
and create a potentially dangerous condition
resulting in property damage and/or personal
injury.

• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch
fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on
water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.

Safety Tips

s Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut

for tightness.

s When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP

cylinder valve.

s Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
s Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to

avoid burns and splatters.

s Maximum load for side burner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
s The grease tray or cup must be inserted into grill and

emptied after each use. Do not remove grease tray or
cup until grill has completely cooled.

s 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.

s 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.

s Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill

cart) free and clear of debris.

s 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.

s The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise

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

s If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
s 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.

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.

CAUTION

• 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.

Turning Grill Off

• Turn all knobs to the OFF position. Turn LP cylinder OFF by
turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop or turn of NG
source.

Ignitor Check

• Turn gas off at LP cylinder or source. Press and hold

electronic ignitor button. "Click" should be heard and
spark seen each time between each collector box or
burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or
spark.

Valve Check

• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder or source
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 or

kinked. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use
only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

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.

CAUTION

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.

4. Detach electrode from burner.

NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend
on the burner configuration. See different
configurations in illustrations below.

5. 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.

SPIDER AND WEBS

INSIDE BURNER TUBE

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.

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 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 venturi tube assembly should be removed from the grill
and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an
extended period.

SPIDER WEBS

INSIDE VENTURI TUBE

BURNER

(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.

6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove

food residue and dirt.

7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an

open paper clip.

8. 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.

9. Attach electrode to burner.

10. Carefully replace burners.

11. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

12. Reposition carryover

tubes and attach to
burners. Replace heat
