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.

■

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.

■

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.

On built-in models, the model/serial number rating plate is located on the right-hand side of the grill. See the following illustration.

Gas Supply Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International approved “outdoor” gas supply line.

Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure

gas pressure does not exceed 11” (28 cm) water column.

Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

A. Model/serial number plate

Gas Conversion:

No attempt shall be made to convert the grill from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas type without consulting the serving gas supplier. The conversion kits specified must be used.

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this grill must be used. The inlet (supply) pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

LP Gas:

Operating pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP Inlet (supply) pressure: 11" to 14" (27.9 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP

Natural Gas:

Operating pressure: 4" (10.2 cm) WCP Inlet (supply) pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP

maximum. Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet

(supply) pressure.

Burner Requirements for High Altitude

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level. Orifice conversion is required. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

6. Go to “Check and Adjust the Burners” section.

Check and Adjust the Burners

The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient operation. 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 grate and sear plates.

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, debris, insect nests, etc. and clean as necessary. If they are clean, adjust air shutters as needed.

IMPORTANT: Before adjusting air shutters, let burners cool completely.

To Adjust:

1. Light grill using information in the “Outdoor Grill Use” section.

2. Observe flame to determine which burners need adjustment

and how the flame is acting.

3. Turn off the valve and wait until grill and burners cool

completely.

4. Remove grill grates and sear plates.

6. If flame is yellow (not enough air), turn air shutter adjustment

screw counterclockwise. If flame is noisy or lifts away from burner (too much air), turn

air shutter adjustment screw clockwise.

A. Air shutter adjustment screw

Adjustment should be made clockwise or counterclockwise from ¹⁄₈" (3.2 mm) to ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm).

7. Replace gas burner, sear plates and grates.

8. Light grill using information in the “Outdoor Grill Use” section.

See “Burner Flame Characteristics.”

Low Flame Adjustment

If flame goes out on the “LO” setting, the low flame setting must be adjusted.

1. Turn off the valve and wait until grill and burners are cool.

2. Remove grill grates and sear plates.

3. Light grill using information in the “Outdoor Grill Use” section.

4. Turn burner to its lowest setting and remove knob.

5. Hold valve stem with pliers and insert a small flat-blade

screwdriver into the shaft.

6. Watch the flame and slowly turn the screwdriver

counterclockwise.

7. Adjust flame to minimum stable flame.

A. Valve stem B. Small flat-blade screwdriver C. Pliers

8. Replace the control knob and turn off the burner.

9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 for each burner if needed.

10. Replace the sear plates and grates after the burners have

cooled.
