SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the outdoor cooking
gas appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:

■

Do not install portable or built-in outdoor cooking gas
appliances in or on a recreational vehicle, portable trailer,
boat or in any other moving installation.

■

Always maintain minimum clearances from combustible
construction, see “Location Requirements” section.

■

The outdoor cooking gas appliance shall not be located
under overhead unprotected combustible construction.

■

This outdoor cooking gas appliance shall be used only
outdoors and shall not be used in a building, garage, or any
other enclosed area.

■

Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away
from any heated surfaces.

■

Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.

■

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free
and clear from debris.

■

Open the cabinet door and inspect the gas cylinder supply
hose before each use of the outdoor cooking gas
appliance. If the hose shows excessive abrasion or wear,
or is cut, it MUST be replaced before using the outdoor
cooking gas appliance. Contact your dealer and use only
replacement hoses specified for use with the outdoor
cooking gas appliance.

■

Visually check the burner flames.
They should be blue. Slight
yellow tipping is normal for LP
gas. The flames should be
approximately 1" (2.5 cm) high.

■

Check and clean burner/venturi tube for insects and insect
nest. A clogged tube can lead to fire under the outdoor
cooking gas appliance.

■

The LP gas supply cylinder to be used must be:

- constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specification for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of
Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes
for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.

- provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.

- provided with a cylinder connection device compatible
with the connection for outdoor cooking gas appliances.

■

Always check connections for leaks each time you connect
and disconnect the LP gas supply cylinder. See
“Installation Instructions” section.

■

When the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the
gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.

■

Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is
permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.

■

Cylinders must be stored outdoors and out of the reach of
children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area.

■

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with
the outdoor cooking gas appliance must be used. A
replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly
specific to your model is available from your outdoor
cooking gas appliance dealer.

■

Gas cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.

■

For appliances designed to use a CGA791 Connection:
Place a 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.

If the following information is not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.

■

Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this
outdoor cooking gas appliance.

■

Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

However, variations in gas supply and other conditions may make minor
adjustments to air shutter or low flame setting necessary.

It is recommended that a qualified person make burner adjustments.
NOTE: The rotisserie burner cannot be adjusted.
Checking and adjusting the grill burner flames requires removing the

grates and flame tamers.

Burner Flame Characteristics

The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some models) should
be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (LP gas flames will
have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If
flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some
yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HI setting are acceptable
as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.

Check that burners are not blocked by dirt

TIPS FOR OUTDOOR

GRILLING

Ŷ

Shorten the pre

flare-ups.

Ŷ

Lightly oil the grill grates
meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or
skinless chicken breasts.

Ŷ

Using too much oil can cause gray ash to deposit on food.

Ŷ

Trim excess fat

Ŷ

Make verti
meat to avoid curling.

Ŷ

Add seasoning or salt only after the

heat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or

or the food when cooking low-fat cuts of

from meats prior to cooking to reduce 

cal cuts at 2" (5,0 cm) intervals around the fat edge of

cooking is finished.

During Grilling

Turn foods only once. Juices are lost when meat is turned several

Ŷ

times.

Ŷ

Turn meat just when juices begin to appear on the surface.

Ŷ

Avoid puncturing
juices to escape.

It may be necessary to lower the heat setting for foods that cook a

Ŷ

long time or are marinated or basted in a sugary sauce.

Ŷ

If using a high flame, add barbecue sauce only during the last 10
minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.

Ŷ

The degree of doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut of
meat (size, shape and thickness), heat setting selected, and length of
time on the grill.

Ŷ

Cooking time will be longer with an open grill

or cutting the meats to test doneness. This allows

cover.

Cooking Methods

Direct Heat

Cooking by direct heat means the food is placed
above lighted burners. Hood position can be up or down. If hood is in the
up position, total cooking times may be longer.

Direct heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural juices in
food by cooking with intense heat for a short period of time. While
juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a flavorful grilled coating.

Replacing the Igniter Battery

If igniters stop sparki

1. Unscrew igniter button cap counterclockwise to remove.

2. Remove battery from the battery compartment.

3. Replace with a new alkaline “AA” size battery. Install battery with

negative end in first.

4. Screw igniter button cap clockwise into place.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the

grill is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or

sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth
to avoid spots and streaks.

Do not use steel wool to clean the grill, as it will scratch the surface.
To avoid weather damage to finish, use

Low heat

LP Gas:

For outdoor grills using a 20 lb LP gas fuel tank, slowly open the tank
valve.

NOTE: If flow limiting device activates, your grill may not light. If your
grill does light, the flames will be low and will not heat properly.

1. Turn tank valve and all control knobs off and wait 30 seconds.

2. After shutting off the tank, very slowly open the tank valve and wait

5 seconds before lighting.

3. Light the burners one at a time. See “Lighting the Main Grill”

section.

Natural Gas:

Gas pressure is affected by size and length of the gas line from the house
to the grill. Contact a qualified gas technician to provide the Natural gas
supply to the selected grill location in accordance with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 - latest edition, and local codes.
