USE AND CARE

DANGER

• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the
appliance or in an enclosed area.

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.

• If the information in the two points above is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.

• An overfilled or improperly stored cylinder is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the safety
relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with
risk of property damage, serious injury or death.

• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping,
immediately get away from the LP cylinder and
appliance and call your fire department.

LP Tank Removal, Transport And Storage

• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn coupling nut
counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to

disconnect. Lift LP tank wire upward off of LP tank collar, then lift

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

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.

• 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 grease 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 grease 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 tray before using the grill again.

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.

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.

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
Assembly

” 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. (See Fig A. next

Page)

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.

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.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve
openings. See illustrations below.

8. Carefully replace burners.

9. Attach burners to brackets with cotter pin. (See Fig B. next

Replace heat diffusers and cooking grates.

Indirect Cooking

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.

1 Burner Cooking

Cook with direct or indirect heat.
Best for smaller meals or foods.
Consumes less fuel.

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
temperature.

• Place food over over unlit burner(s).

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 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 [phone], 10:00 am
4:00 pm EST).

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

• 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

gs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
