SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDERANDWEBS

Ifyou notice thatyour grill is gettinghard to light or that the flame isn't as strong as it should be, take thetime to check

and cleanthe burner tubes.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Usethe one easiest for you.

(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Runthe 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 removefood

residue and dirt.

6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiffwire such as an open

paper clip.

7. Check burner for damage, due to normalwear 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.

Correct burner-to-valveengagement

Indirect Cooking Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the

grill by indirect heat. Placefood over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit burners circulates gently throughoutthe grill, cooking meat or poultry without thetouch 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.

1 Burner Cooking

Cook with direct or indirect heat. Best for smallermeals or foods.

Consumes less fuel.

Food Safety Food safety is a veryimportant 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 and poultry.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat

foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and

utensilswhen removing cooked foods. Cook: Cookmeat andpoultry 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).

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked ona grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat thermometerto besure food has

reached a safeinternal temperature, andcut into food to check for visual signs of aloneness.

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

• Hamburgers madeof any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F, and be brown in the middlewith no pink juices.

Beef,veal andlamb 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 completelyto destroy harmful bacteria.

•When reheating takeoutfoods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F,oruntil steaming hot.

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 temperatures.

• Place food over unlit burner(s)

2 Burner Cooking

Great indirect cookingon tow. Produces slow, even heating.

Idealfor slow roasting and baking.

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

cooked to the minimum internaltemperatures listed in the table below.

USDA* Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures Beef, Veal, Lamband Pork - Whole Cuts** 145° F

Fish 145° F Beef, Veal, Lamband Pork - Ground 160° F

Egg Dishes 160° F Turkey, Chicken &Duck- Whole, Pieces& Ground 165° F

* United States Department of Agriculture **Allow meat to rest three minutes before carving or consuming.

Gas Requirements LP Gas

If your grill is for LP Gas, the regulatorsupplied is set for an 11-in.water column (WC)and isfor usewith LPgas only.The factory-supplied regulatorand hose must be

used with a 20-lb. LPgas tank.

Excess Flow Control and Low Heat The propane regulatorassemblyincorporatesan excess

flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficientgas flow under normal conditions yet control excess gas flow.

Rapid changes in pressurecantrigger the excessflow deviceproviding a low flame and lowtemperature. Ifthe tankvalve is turnedopen to allow gasflow while a burner

valve isopen, thesurge of pressurewill cause the device to activate.The device willremain closed untilthe

pressureis equalized.This shouldoccur within 5 seconds.

Toensure this doesnot cause difficulty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:

1. Makesure all burner valves are "OFF".

2. Openthe tankvalve and wait 5 seconds.

3. Light the burners one at a time following the lighting instructions.

Helpful Care and Maintenance Hints

Beforegrilling, pre-heatgrill for 15minutes on "HI" with hooddown. To avoiduncontrolledflare-ups or grease

fires, grill meatswith hood open. Close hood if meats are thick or weather is cold, or if youare using a rotisserieor indirect cooking.
