IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. The LazyMan Elite and Open Hearth Series grills arrive nearly fully assembled and require only minor

assembly steps. Assure that ALL packaging materials have been removed before attempting to light the appliance. This includes removing all shipping tie wraps, zip ties and cardboard. Remove the cooking grates and look for ALL internal packaging materials INSIDE the grill. Last, peel off all protective vinyl coating from ALL exterior and interior surfaces on the appliance.

2. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing or long sleeves while cooking. They could ignite.

3. Never leave the appliance unattended while cooking.

4. Never touch the grill racks or surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while cooking. These

surfaces will be HOT.

5. The use of an insulated glove or mitt is recommended while cooking.

6. The stainless steel cover MUST BE removed before attempting to light the grill, as an explosion could

occur. Do not lean over the appliance when lighting.

7. Do not heat unopened food containers on the appliance, as, pressure will build up and the container

can explode.

8. Do not use aluminum foil on the grill racks. This will prevent proper ventilation and allow excessive

heat to build inside the grill. Such heat can damage components of the grill.

9. Never remove the drip pan while cooking. Always assure that it is pushed all the way in. Hot overflow

can leak downward and produce a fire or explosion. The drip pan should be cleaned on a regular basis when the appliance is cold.

10. If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn gas off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.

If any burner goes out during operation, turn burner off and check for adequate fuel. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.

11. When using portable LP gas cylinders, always turn off the main valve on the cylinder after each use.

12. Use caution when operating the appliance in windy conditions. Wind can enter from the back or sides

and interrupt air flow. This can cause an overheating condition and damage the appliance and its components.

13. This grill has been made with the finest materials available and, as a result, this grill is HEAVY. Always

use caution when moving or installing this product. Failure to follow this instruction can result in back or other personal injuries.

Installation Method #1 for the Open Hearth Series grills uses a rear gas pipe exit point into the masonry island. The masonry should be laid so that there is horizontal notch running from front to back on the gas side, and partially back on the non-gas side. This product is shipped with the gas side on the left and the ‘stubbed’ side on the right. This notch should measure 1-1/2” wide by 3-1/2” high and be located at the bottom of the main cutout. On the ‘stubbed’ side of

the gas line, the notch needs only to be 2” back from the front. Reverse the notches and hole location if it is desired to

change the gas input line from the left side to the right side. With this installation method, the grill in inserted into place from the FRONT. After the grill is in place and connected, the front portion of the notch can be covered with a cover stone as shown in the above diagram.

Installation Method #2 for the Open Hearth Series grills uses a front/vertical gas pipe exit point into the masonry island. The masonry should be laid so that there is a vertical notch running from top to bottom on both sides of the cutout. A hole is created at the bottom of the cutout for the gas line exit. This product is shipped with the gas side on the left and

the ‘stubbed’ side on the right. The gas exit side can be changed to the right side by simply reversing the fittings. This

notch should measure 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” and run vertically on the entire height of the cutout on both front edges. With this installation method, the grill is inserted into place from the TOP down. After the grill is in place and connected, the front portion of the notch can be covered with a cover stones as shown in the above diagram.

OPEN HEARTH SERIES ISLAND INSTALLATION

Elbow Turned Toward Rear

NOTE: Use this INSTALLATION section in conjunction with the following ‘GAS CONNECTIONS’ section of this manual to assure that all gas considerations have been made before installing your grill.

INSTALLATION METHOD #1- USING NG GAS: After the island has been constructed and built per the previous cutout

recommendations and guidelines (method #1), it’s now time to install the LazyMan ATS Series Open Hearth grill into the island. The above diagram shows a typical Natural Gas installation where the gas piping is routed through the back of the island and externally to the gas source. This routing can also be accomplished internally (inside the island) if the island is constructed with a hollow design and there is space between the back wall of the cutout and the back wall of the island. This grill is shipped with a 1/2 NPT Elbow (female) fitting at the end of the gas manifold for both NG and LP hose connections.

For this installation method, carefully rotate this elbow (using a pipe wrench) toward the rear facing straight back.

This grill is also shipped with an NG regulator (for natural gas grills) and an LP regulator with hose for grills set up for liquid propane. NOTE: If you have a grill set up for NG gas type, and it is equipped with a 3/8 NPT Elbow, then a 3/8 male to 1/2 female straight conversion fitting will be required. A 1/2 NPT female elbow can also be used to replace the existing elbow.

It is highly recommended that a qualified plumber or gas technician make this installation and perform the gas hookup procedure.

1. Using two or more people, carefully lift the grill onto the island TOP surface next to the cutout. Align the grill

front to back. Measure the distance from the front gas exit point of the manifold (elbow) to the back of the

island. You will need a ½” pipe with ½” NPT male threads at both ends that match this distance plus 2”. This pipe is called a ‘nipple’. Nipples come pre-threaded at both ends and are available in a variety of different

lengths.

2. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape (to seal the threads) FOR ALL PIPE CONNECTIONS and install this

first pipe into the elbow at the front of the grill.

3. Using two or more people, carefully lift the grill into the island cutout and slide the grill toward the back of

the cutout. Allow the newly installed pipe to slide through the pre-cut hole or opening and through the back wall of the island. Slide the grill all the way in so that the front of the grill is flush with the front of the island.

4. Make your first connection using a ½” NPT female elbow. Point this elbow downward if the main gas supply

is near the ground. If the main gas supply is in a location other than the ground, point the elbow in that direction.

5. Install a short nipple into the open end of the elbow and install the supplied NG regulator at the end of this

nipple. Make sure the regulator is installed so the arrow (marked on the regulator) is pointing to the grill,

i.e., in the direction the gas will be flowing.

6. Measure the distance from the open end of the regulator to the ground and subtract 8” from this

measurement to allow for the next 3 connections. This will be the length of your next nipple.

7. Install this nipple to the regulator and at the other end, install a ½” NPT female ‘Tee’ connection. The third

(downward) leg of the ‘Tee’ is used to install a 3” minimum length ‘Drip Leg’ with cap. This leg is required in

many states and is used for periodic moisture relief. Check your local codes. This complete pipe routing should now be resting 1-2 inches above the ground.

8. Install the next nipple into the center opening of the ‘Tee’ and run this connection to the gas source.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the gas source does not have a gas shut-off valve, then a new ½” quarter turn valve MUST be installed between the last gas pipe and the existing gas source. This gas valve should be installed by a qualified plumber or gas technician. See the next step.

9. If the gas source is a stubbed gas pipe coming from the side of the house or exit point, then THE GAS MUST

BE TURNED OFF AT THE METER. A new quarter turn gas valve must be installed, either at the gas source or inline from the gas source in a convenient location.

10. Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas

connections prior to operation of this grill.

INSTALLATION METHOD #1- USING LP GAS (LIQUID PROPANE-BOTTLE)- when using bottled LP, then use the LP regulator and hose equipped with the LP grill. The installation should begin the same as an NG installation where a ½ NPT pipe (threaded at both ends) is routed from the gas exit elbow at the front of the grill through the rear of the island. A second ½ NPT elbow is also added at the rear pointing downward and outside of the island rear wall. At this point, the hard piping is complete. Connect the LP hose end directly to this elbow. Use the above diagram for routing the hose to the newly installed elbow. As previously mentioned, if the island is constructed in a ‘hollow’ manner, and there is a hollow space between the back of the cutout and the back of the island, then the hard piping can be routed downward into the island interior. This piping can terminate with either a ½ NPT female elbow or a ½ NPT straight coupler. The LP hose can then be attached directly to the ½ elbow or coupler. Always assure that the LP hose is completely visible and accessible inside the island.

1. Use 2 or more people and carefully lift the grill onto the island top surface.

2. Follow steps #1 through #4 of the NG piping installation. This portion of the installation completes the hard

piping requirements and routes the piping through the island and out the back. This piping terminates with a ½ NPT elbow mounted outside of the rear of the island.

3. Connect the fitting at the end of the LP hose directly to the elbow at the rear of the island. Use pipe joint

compound or Teflon tape on the fitting before installing.

4. Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas

connections after attaching the LP tank.

INSTALLATION METHOD #1- USING LP (LIQUID PROPANE) BULK TANK- If you have ordered a grill configured for LP (Liquid Propane), then you have received an LP regulator and hose with your grill. If you plan to attach the grill directly to a bulk propane tank, then you cannot use the supplied hose. You must obtain a regulator from LazyMan Inc. Please order P/N 10099. This is a regulator which converts from NG to LP. Please use the instructions that come with the regulator for this conversion. Follow the same connection pattern shown above for NG connections.

NOTE: Use this INSTALLATION section in conjunction with the following ‘GAS CONNECTIONS’ section of this manual to assure that all gas considerations have been made before installing your grill.

INSTALLATION METHOD #2- USING NG GAS: After the island has been constructed and built per the previous cutout

Elbow Turned Straight Down

recommendations and guidelines (method #2), it’s now time to install the LazyMan ATS Series Open Hearth grill into the island. If the gas piping is to be run INTERNALLY ((inside the island) then there must be hollow space below the grill for the gas pipe routing. The above diagram shows a typical Natural Gas installation where the gas piping is routed downward, through island and to the gas source. This routing can also be accomplished both internally and externally by routing the initial connection downward and then immediately routing the piping through the island rear or side wall of the island. In this instance, additional fittings will be needed and the gas regulator and gas shut-off valve is mounted outside of the island structure. This grill is shipped with a 1/2 NPT Elbow (female) fitting at the end of the gas manifold for both NG and LP hose connections. For this installation method, carefully rotate this elbow (using a pipe wrench)

downward so that the open end is facing the ground or bottom of the island.

This grill is also shipped with an NG regulator (for natural gas grills) and an LP regulator with hose for grills set up for liquid propane. NOTE: If you have a grill set up for NG gas type, and it is equipped with a 3/8 NPT Elbow, then a 3/8 NPT male to 1/2 NPT female straight conversion fitting will be required. A 1/2 NPT female elbow can also be used to replace the existing elbow.

It is highly recommended that a qualified plumber or gas technician make this installation and perform the gas hookup procedure.

1. Measure the distance from the front gas exit point of the manifold (elbow) to the inside bottom of the

island. This is the TOTAL space you have to work with. Also measure the distance from the bottom of the

cutout to the open space below it. Add 2” to this length. This will be the length of your first pipe. All piping should be 1/2 “ (I.D.) with 1/2” NPT male threads at both ends. This pipe is called a ‘nipple’. Nipples come

pre-threaded at both ends and are available in a variety of different lengths.

2. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape (to seal the threads) FOR ALL PIPE CONNECTIONS and install this

first pipe into the elbow at the front of the grill.

3. Using two or more people, carefully lift the grill into the island cutout FROM THE TOP DOWN and allow the

newly installed pipe to slide through the pre-cut hole or opening in the bottom of the cutout. Position the grill so that the front of the grill is flush with the front of the island.

4. Install the NG regulator to the end of this first pipe. Make sure the regulator is installed so the arrow

(marked on the regulator) is pointing to the grill, i.e., in the direction the gas will be flowing.

5. Measure the distance from the open end of the regulator to the bottom of the island and subtract 8” from

this measurement to allow for the next 3 connections. This will be the length of your next nipple.

6. Install this nipple to the regulator and at the other end, install a ½” NPT female ‘Tee’ connection. The third

(downward) leg of the ‘Tee’ is used to install a 3” minimum length ‘Drip Leg’ with cap. This leg is required in many states and is used for periodic moisture relief. Check your local codes. This complete pipe routing should now be resting 1-2 inches above the inside bottom of the island. It is best to create a small hole directly below this ‘Drip Leg’ in the bottom of the island. This will allow for moisture run-off, through the island bottom, when the drip leg cap needs to be removed for moisture relief.

7. Install the next nipple into the center opening of the ‘Tee’ and run this connection to the gas source.

8. If the gas source is a stubbed gas pipe coming from the side of the house or exit point, then THE GAS MUST BE

TURNED OFF AT THE METER. A new quarter turn gas valve must be installed, either at the gas source or inline from the gas source in a convenient location.

9. Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas connections

prior to operation of this grill.

INSTALLATION METHOD #2- USING LP GAS (LIQUID PROPANE-BOTTLE)- when using bottled LP, then use the LP regulator and hose equipped with the LP grill. The installation should begin the same as an NG installation where a ½ NPT pipe (threaded at both ends) is routed from the gas exit elbow at the front of the grill through the hole or opening in the bottom of the island cutout. Use the above diagram for routing this hard piping from the grill. A ½ NPT female elbow or ½ NPT straight coupler is then added to the end of this pipe. The LP hose can now be attached directly to the ½ elbow or coupler. Always assure that the LP hose is completely visible and accessible inside the island.

Route this hose directly to the propane tank. In the above illustration, the propane tank would be resting on the floor INSIDE the island. For this installation method, carefully rotate the elbow (using a pipe wrench) downward so that the open end is facing the ground or bottom of the island.

1. Use 2 or more people and lift the grill into place.

2. Follow steps #1 through #3 of the NG piping installation.

3. At the end of the ½ NPT pipe, install a ½ NPT female elbow (instead of the ‘Tee’ fitting). A ½ NPT straight coupler

can also be used. This now completes the hard piping requirements for LP applications.

4. Connect the fitting at the end of the LP hose directly to the newly installed elbow or coupler. Use pipe joint

compound or Teflon tape on the fitting before installing.

5. Use the ‘Leak Test Procedure’ found in the ‘FINAL CHECKS’ section of this manual to check all gas connections

after attaching the LP tank.

INSTALLATION METHOD #2- USING LP (LIQUID PROPANE) BULK TANK- If you have ordered a grill configured for LP (Liquid Propane), then you have received an LP regulator and hose with your grill. If you plan to attach the grill directly to a bulk propane tank, then you cannot use the supplied hose. You must obtain a regulator from LazyMan Inc. Please order P/N 10099. This is a regulator which converts from NG to LP. Please use the instructions that come with the regulator for this conversion. Follow the same connection pattern shown above for NG connections.

ALL ISLAND INSTALLATIONS-ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS Neither the Open Hearth Grills nor the Elite Series Grills require electricity for their basic operation. However, if the optional hood and rotisserie system is being used, then a 120V, 60 Hertz, 15 Amp, outdoor GFI outlet should be installed near the rear of the island within 30” from the edge of the grill cutout (rotisserie motor location). The rear vertical wall of the island, if present, is the ideal location. It is always practical to include one or more of these outlets when planning an island installation.

FREESTANDING (ELITE) GRILL CONSIDERATIONS

Because of their mobility, freestanding grills are more versatile since they can be moved to various locations for convenience and accessibility. Here are a few points to consider when selecting a location:

1. Locate the grill in an open air environment. Do not locate under a breezeway, or inside a garage, building, or shed.

Proper distance to combustibles must be maintained at all times (12” to sides, front, and back). Do not locate this grill

under any combustible, overhead construction.

2. Select a location where prevailing winds come from either side of the grill or from the front. If your grill is equipped

with an optional hood, do not face the back of the grill toward oncoming winds. When grilling with the hood closed, winds can enter from the back, disrupt air flow, and cause overheating. Damage caused is not covered under warranty.

3. Position the grill within 30” of an outdoor 120V electrical outlet for the optional rotisserie operation. If this is not

possible, then position grill such that when using an outdoor extension cord, the cord does not lay in a high traffic area. This cord can create a trip hazard. The cord can be ‘taped’ to the ground securely to prevent any such hazard. If the freestanding grill is using Natural Gas (NG), position the grill in the vicinity of a gas outlet/valve to minimize the amount of piping required to hook up the grill.

This grill has been factory pre-set to use either Propane Gas (LP) or Natural Gas (NG). It is critical that the gas you use matches the gas that the grill has been set up for. You can verify this by checking the label mounted on the right rear side of the grill.

Ensure that the gas supplied meets minimum pressure requirements, as shown below, under full load:

Both the regulator and the manifold orifices have been set for the type of gas specified on the label. If it is desired to convert to a different type of gas, a gas conversion kit must be obtained from LazyMan Inc. or from one of its dealers, and must be installed by a qualified technician.

chart entitled “Gas Supply Line Runs” to

determine allowable run line distances. Failure to meet these minimum run requirements will reduce the performance of the grill and any other appliances connected to this line. In general, always keep the supply line run as SHORT as possible.

The longer the gas run line, the lower the gas pressure and the smaller number of BTU’s the line can handle.

NATURAL GAS:

LazyMan Inc. recommends that only a qualified professional performs the required gas hook-ups on this product.

To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the TOTAL BTU requirements of all the gas fired equipment that will be connected to this line. Minimum pipe size should be 1/2” I.D., however, 3/4" I.D. is recommended for the long runs and best performance. For this, a 3/4" FIP x 1/2” MIP reducer fitting will be required (not supplied).

Calculate the total BTU output of all appliances that will be attached to this line and use the

A gas shut-off valve must be installed between the gas appliances and the gas line in an easily accessible location. This valve should be installed by a qualified plumber.

All pipe joints must be sealed with teflon tape or pipe joint compound. The first 2 threads should be free and clear of any compound to avoid the compound from entering into the pipe. Never use threading compound on flare fittings.

LIQUID PROPANE GAS:

Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb (5 gal) LP gas cylinder.

GAS CONNECTIONS

All fittings necessary to attach the hose assembly to the grill are included.

BULK TANK LP:

Some residences and/or commercial establishments use bulk propane cylinders and are permanently plumbed with LP connections. When this is the case, then a 4/11 regulator must be obtained and set for the proper gas type (LP). 4/11 regulators are convertible from NG to LP. To convert, follow the instructions provided with the regulator. Order LazyMan P/N 10099.

WARNING

Do not change the regulator/ hose assembly or use any other assembly other than the one supplied with your LazyMan grill.

Do not attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL cylinder/valve assembly.

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

Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.

A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and should not be used. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP supplier.

Always shut off the LP gas when finished using the grill, both at the grill valves and the LP cylinder valve.

Cylinders must always be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area and out be of reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors, the LP cylinder must be removed and stored outdoors.

LP CONNECTIONS:

Make sure the LP cylinder valve is fully closed before connecting to the grill. It is possible for the valve to be partially open without releasing gas, but, as soon as the regulator is connected, gas can leak from the connection. Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this connection.

To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the cylinder valve is turned completely off. Turn the coupler counter-clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.

LP CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS:

The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications for LP cylinders and be designed for use with a Type 1 system only.

When exchanging your cylinder for a refill, exchange only with a Type 1, 20 lb cylinder with an overfill protection device.

Always leak test the connection after refilling or exchanging LP gas cylinders. See ‘Leak Test Procedure’.

GAS LINE PURGING:

After refilling or replacing an LP gas cylinder, it is always best to purge the system of air before attempting to light the grill.

GAS CONNECTIONS

To purge, make sure all grill controls are in the “OFF” position.

Make sure the LP cylinder valve is turned ‘OFF’.

Turn one or more of the grill burner valves to ‘ON’. This releases pressure in the system.

Close the burner valve(s) back to the ‘OFF’

position.

Turn the LP cylinder valve to the ‘ON’

position.

Light the burners as usual, one at a time, by opening the valves slowly.

DANGER!

To prevent fire or explosion, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, etc.) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. NEVER conduct a leak test using fire or flame.

For LP, turn the cylinder valve knob one complete turn (minimum) in the counterclockwise direction.

Apply the soap solution generously with a paint brush or squirt bottle on every connection and fitting.

If bubbles appear to ‘grow’ on any of the

connections, then gas is escaping. Turn off gas supply immediately.

FIXING A GAS LEAK: Make sure the main gas supply has been turned ‘OFF’.

FINAL CHECKS

LEAK TEST PROCEDURE:

Create a soapy solution of one part dish soap and three parts water.

Confirm that all control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position.

Turn on the fuel supply. For Natural Gas, turn the valve handle 1/4 turn so the handle is in-line with the pipe and gas flow.

Turn all grill control knobs to ‘HIGH’ to purge the system of any gas build-up, then return them to ‘OFF’.

Wash off the soapy solution and then dry off.

Tighten the loose joint or replace any fitting that may be suspect.

For LP applications, do NOT attempt to repair any leaks found at the main cylinder valve. The LP cylinder needs to be replaced.

Repeat the leak test procedure to confirm that no leaks are present.

OPERATION OF YOUR GRILL

Burner Seated at Rear

INTRODUCTION

Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen cooking ranges and are able to sear and cook meats and other food products with a much hotter flame. The drippings from the meats fall onto the Lava Rocks and intensify the flames by ‘splashing’ back to the flames themselves as well as to the food. This is how the outdoor Bar B Que grill flavor is created. The high performance burners contained in this grill require a constant, steady supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel.

Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the proper air flow. Wind can be particularly disruptive (and damaging) if you are grilling on HIGH and you are using the optional hood in the closed position. If the wind is coming from the REAR, this

condition can trap the hot air and gasses inside the grill and cause an overheating condition. An early warning sign of this

condition can be seen if there is a lack of apparent heat reaching the grates. It can also be detected if your grill had been previously preheated, and the inside temperature shown by the hood thermometer, if so equipped, suddenly begins to DECREASE or INCREASE.

The wind has prevented the hot gases from escaping from the rear, and instead building up at the lower front of the grill, away from the hood thermometer probes. To immediately remedy this condition, open the hood and turn down the heat.

Any damage caused by this overheating condition is NOT COVERED by warranty.

If you are using a freestanding grill, this condition can also be remedied by moving the grill to a new location, such that the wind does not enter from the rear. (See

also section entitled “Freestanding Grill Application Requirements”).

PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE:

1. Make sure ALL packing materials have been removed from the interior and the exterior of the grill. This includes the plastic protective coating on the exterior surfaces of the grill.

2. Make sure the fuel lines have been connected per instructions in the installation section of this manual.

3. Make sure the burners are seated properly in the rear and resting over the valve orifices in the front.

4. Make sure the Lava Rocks have been placed inside the grill and spread out evenly covering each burner. IMPORTANT NOTE:

The grill will NOT light if the Lava Rock is not in place or if the Lava Rock is not covering the burners. The grill burners

depend on the reduced air mixture created by the Lava Rocks to function properly.

OPERATION OF YOUR GRILL

AT EACH NEW SEASON:

At the start of each new grilling season, the grill should be inspected. Remove the weather cover and cooking grates. Grasp each burner by spreading the Lava Rocks and check that the burner is securely in place. Check for any apparent obstructions of the burners. Look especially for cottonlike or mud-like formations. Spiders, wasps, and other insects nesting in these areas can disrupt air and gas flow, and can cause damage to the grill or personal injury.

Once the burners are checked, re-spread the Lava Rocks evenly over the burners so that each burner is covered.

As a final check, inspect all hoses and gas lines for any evidence of damage.

By following these procedures, you can keep your outdoor grill operating like new for years to come. If you have any questions, you can always call the factory at

(800) 475-1950.

5. Connections to any Propane cylinder, if

being used, have been leak tested.

6. The valve on a Propane cylinder, if being

used, has been turned ON before attempting to light the grill.

7. If you are using Natural Gas (NG), be sure

that the main gas valve has been turned ON before attempting to light the grill.

8. Wind is not blowing too strongly from the

rear of the grill.

WARNING

1. Never attempt to light the grill if you smell gas.

CHECKLIST BEFORE EACH USE:

Always make sure that:

1. You DO NOT smell gas BEFORE you light

the grill. If you smell gas, shut everything OFF and call a qualified plumber to check for leaks. See also section in this manual entitled “FINAL CHECKS”.

2. The cooking area and cooking grates are

free from combustibles that could ignite.

3. All control valves turn freely.

4. All burners are seated properly.

2. Always light the grill with the hood OPEN, if so equipped, or the Stainless Steel Weather Cover removed.

3. DO NOT release fuel into an open or closed grill before lighting. This will increase the risk of explosion, property damage, personal injury, or death.

4. When lighting, keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible. If a burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the control OFF, and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate, before attempting to reignite.

5. Never leave the grill unattended while

cooking.

LIGHTING YOUR GRILL

Make sure all control levers for the grill are in the ‘OFF’ position. They are off when the levers are parallel to the front of the grill as shown in the above diagram.

For Natural Gas (NG) grills, turn the main gas control valve to ON. The valve is ON when the valve lever is in line and parallel to the gas

piping and gas flow.

For Propane (LP) grills, turn the propane cylinder valve at least one full turn in the counterclockwise direction.

TO LIGHT YOUR GRILL:

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LIGHTING

 Remove the weather cover or, if your

grill is equipped with a hood, open the hood.

 Select the desired burner and zone that

you wish to light first. Each zone contains two burners. All zones do not need to be lit, but both burners in the desired zone should be lit. Lighting all burners allows for faster pre-heating results.

 If your grill is equipped with a full hood

or partial hood, then it is best to light all burners that are present under the hood area.

 Use a stick lighter or long wooden

match and insert THROUGH the grate and directly above the Lava Rock. Align the lighter or match with the valve controlling the burner.

 Rotate the corresponding valve lever

toward you (counterclockwise) 90 degrees until it is straight out. This is the

‘ON’/ ‘HIGH’ position.

 The gas will begin flowing through the

burner and up through the Lava Rock. The burner should ignite after only a few seconds.

 If, after 5 seconds, the burner DOES NOT

light, then turn the valve OFF and wait 5 minutes for the unburned gas to dissipate. Then, after 5 minutes, it is safe to begin the procedure again.

 Light the second burner in the same

zone and by using the same procedure as the first burner. NOTE: if your environment is free from prevailing winds, it is possible to allow the second burner to ‘cross-light’ from the first burner, BUT ONLY WITHIN THAT SECTION OF 2 BURNERS. Each new

section MUST be lit with the lighter or match.

 If at any time, a burner valve has been

turned on but the burner fails to light after 5 seconds, then turn ALL burners OFF, and wait 5 minutes for the unburned gas to dissipate. After 5 minutes, it is safe to start the procedure again.

 After successful ignition of ALL desired

burners, allow the grill to preheat. If your grill is equipped with a full or partial hood, then close the hood over that section for best preheating results and a faster pre-heat cycle. In most cases, 10 minutes is sufficient for preheating. See also the following

section entitled ‘PREHEATING’ for

further details.

 NEVER leave the grill unattended

during the pre-heat cycle. If your grill is equipped with a hood thermometer, do not allow the thermometer to exceed

OPERATION OF YOUR GRILL

450°. This indicates that your grill is getting too hot and may cause damage to the grill. When grilling with the hood closed, most grilling can be done with the temperature range of 200°-300°.

 After the grill is preheated, the burners

not needed for cooking can be turned OFF.

COOKING ON YOUR GRILL

The heat intensity of the burners can be adjusted by rotating the valve lever clockwise from the 90° HIGH position (straight out) to approximately the 45° position. Practice turning the valve lever (clockwise) to reduce the flame intensity and to achieve the desired results. In general:

HIGH SETTING- Use this setting for ALL warmup and preheating, and for searing steaks and chops. This setting can also be used for burning food residue from the cooking grates after the cook-out is over.

MEDIUM SETTING- Use this setting for most grilling, roasting, or baking, as well as for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.

LOW SETTING- Use this setting for all smoke cooking, rotisserie cooking, and for cooking very lean, thin cuts of meat or fish.

Use the cooking chart on the following page as a guide to prepare a wide variety of food dishes on your grill. Use a food thermometer, purchased separately, to periodically check the internal temperature of the food you are cooking to assure it has reached the perfect degree of ‘doneness’.

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LIGHTING

Use the lighting instructions found on the previous pages to continue.

PRE-HEATING

As mentioned earlier, preheating your grill is an important part of the grilling process and will provide much more consistent cooking results. It gives the burners, the Lava Rocks, and the grates time to properly and evenly

warm up.

Light your grill per the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS. For the best preheating results, light all burners, and set the controls to ‘HIGH’. Even if you are planning to use only two burners in one zone, it is best to preheat with all burners on. Close the optional hood, if your grill is so equipped, to begin pre-heating. Pre-heat the grill for around 10 minutes or around 350° as shown on the hood thermometer. NEVER allow the thermometer to exceed 450° indicating that your grill is overheating.

Overheating can damage the grill hood and grill components and is NOT covered by warranty.

After pre-heating, turn off the burner(s) that you do not plan to use.

OPERATION OF YOUR GRILL

WARNING

DO NOT leave the grill unattended during the pre-heat process or ANY time while the grill is in use.

DO NOT pre-heat the grill for more than 10 minutes as, damage caused by overheating can result.

achieved by placing the food on ONE side of the grill and lighting the burner(s) on the OTHER side of the grill. The burner below the food is turned OFF. This type of cooking requires the use of the optional full hood or partial hood which remains closed throughout most of the cooking process. The heat is regulated by adjusting the setting on the valve lever for the ‘active’ burner(s).

TYPES OF HEAT

The high powered burners used in your LazyMan Open Hearth and Elite Series grills are capable of creating a very large range of heat intensities. By varying the number of burners used, the valve lever setting, and the hood open/closed positions (for hood models), a wide variety of cooking possibilities exist. These possibilities can lead to an endless list of delicious recipes. The two primary types of heat are ‘DIRECT HEAT’ AND ‘INDIRECT HEAT’.

DIRECT HEAT

‘Direct Heat’ is also known as ‘Radiant Heat’.

This type of heat occurs when the food is placed directly over the heat source (main burner). The heat radiates directly from the

burners up to the food. Direct heat is a ‘must have’ for general back yard bar-b-ques when it is desired to ‘sear’ the outside of the meat to

seal in the juices and flavors.

INDIRECT HEAT

‘Indirect Heat’ occurs when the heat source is

NOT directly below the food source. Heat reaches the food source through air movement and not from direct flames. This type of heat is also known as ‘convection’ cooking. It is

USING THE OPTIONAL ROTISSERIE SYSTEM

Rotisserie cooking is an entirely different process than cooking with the food resting directly on the cooking grates. With rotisserie cooking, the food product is mounted to a

‘spit’ rod held in place with ‘forks’. The spit rod

is mounted to a rotisserie motor which slowly turns the food above the burners.

As the meat heats up, juices begin to flow. As the meat is turning, the juices fall back into the meat rather that falling away. This essentially creates a ‘self-basting’ process. The basting can be enhanced by collecting the juices that do fall from the meat (in a basting or baking pan) and reapplying them to the meat with a basting brush. The end result is a very juicy and evenly cooked meal.

OPERATION OF YOUR GRILL

PROCEEDURE

The components to the optional rotisserie system are:

-Rotisserie motor

-Motor Holding Bracket

-Spit Rod

-Spit Forks

Slide the motor into place over the Motor Holding Bracket. Plug the motor power cord into the intended 120V outdoor outlet.

Locate the spit rod and place one of the forks toward the center of the rod. The pointed end of the fork should be facing the pointed end of the spit rod. Slide the meat product over the pointed end of the spit rod and down to the existing fork. Slide the other fork down to the meat product. Center the meat and press BOTH forks into the meat so that the meat is held tightly in place by the forks. Roll the spit rod in your hand, to assure proper meat placement, and tighten BOTH thumb screws on the forks. Wrap any loose portion of the meat, for example, the wing of a turkey, with

butcher’s string only. Do NOT use standard

string, plastic, or nylon string.

Slide the pointed end of the spit rod into the square receptacle of the motor.

Place the other end of the spit rod into its cradle at the right side of the hood.

Place a basting pan or baking pan, if desired, directly under the meat. This will allow the collection of additional juices that fall from the meat. Select a pan size just large enough to collect the juices under the meat but not so large as to block the heat coming from the burners. If the meat being cooked is LARGER than the space below it, then remove the cooking grate directly below it. If a basting pan is being used, place the pan directly on top of the Lava Rocks.

After everything is in place, i.e., the motor is in position, the spit rod is in place, loaded with

OPERATION OF YOUR GRILL

the meat product, and the basting pan is in place, light the first burner using the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS found on the previous pages. Continue by lighting all other burners. If you are using a partial hood, then light only those burners found under the hood portion. After the grill is warm, the appropriate burners can be left ON, and the burners not needed can be turned OFF. Turn the rotisserie motor ON to start the process.

WARNING

Never attempt to light the burners BEFORE the meat is in place, as, severe burns to the fingers and hands can result while attempting to mount the meat and spit rod on top of the hot burners. DO NOT attempt to use the rotisserie system when the grill is already hot.

Most rotisserie cooking is done with the optional hood OPEN, if the grill is so equipped. The hood can be closed periodically during windy conditions, but be careful not to allow the hood to overheat.

It is a good practice to periodically check the rotisserie process while cooking. The cooking of the meat may be proceeding too fast or too slow. If you see any signs of burning during the early cooking process, you will want to adjust the control settings for each burner.

Example shown above is the LazyMan Model A3TS/SS/B60 which has three cooking zones but the far left zone has been changed from the conventional burner and Lava Rock to a powerful 60,000 BTU burner. This burner is designed with three rings of which any or all of the rings can be turned on depending on cooking needs. The outside ring generates 30,000 BTU’s of heat, the middle ring

generates 20,000 BTU’s, and the center ring generates 10,000 BTU’s of heat.

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LIGHTING

LIGHTING THE BIG 60 BURNER-make sure all

three control knobs are in the OFF position. If it is desired to light all 3 rings of the burner, start by lighting the center ring of the burner i.e., the far left control knob. Place a stick lighter or a long wooden match directly above the center ring. At the same time, push IN on the FAR LEFT control knob and turn 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to HIGH. The burner should light within seconds. If, after 5 seconds, the burner does NOT light, turn the valve OFF and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate. Then, after 5 minutes, it is safe

to start the procedure again. Once the center burner is lit, the middle burner should be lit by using the ‘crosslighting’ system. Turn the CENTER control knob to HIGH and allow the MIDDLE ring to light from flames generated by the center ring. Repeat this procedure to light the OUTSIDE ring by turning the control knob on the FAR RIGHT to HIGH. Once all 3 rings of the burner are lit, you can turn off any ring not needed for cooking. NOTE: if only one burner ring needs to be lit, then that particular ring can be lit independently, using the lighter or stick match, without having to light the other rings. NEVER attempt to crossover light the

center ring to the outside ring. The 3 rings must be lit in sequence.

CLEANING YOUR GRILL

Drip Pan

CLEANING YOUR GRILL

The LazyMan Model A Series grill products have been built with the finest grade of 304 stainless steel available. All exterior surfaces feature a #4 brushed finish. With proper maintenance, this finish will last for many years. Here are a few pointers to keep your appliance looking and functioning like new:

After each use, wipe down the complete exterior of your grill using a soft cloth and a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. It is important to remove the grease splatters and food debris at this time, rather than allowing it to become ‘cooked on’. It will be much harder to remove the next time.

Always wipe in the direction of the grain finish. The front surfaces, the top surfaces, and the weather cover have the grain running in a horizontal direction.

GRAIN DIRECTION

CLEANING THE DRIP PAN

Similar to cleaning the main grill components, the longer you wait to clean the Drip Pan(s), the harder it will be to remove the grease and food debris. The drip pans can be removed completely from the grill for easier cleaning.

Each cooking zone has its own drip pan. Carefully slide each drip pan straight forward and out from the grill. Start by draining any free flowing grease by tilting the pan over a waste container (an empty coffee can is perfect). Scoop up the food debris with a dust pan or similar device. Wipe the remaining grease with paper towels, and then finish by using a mild solution of dish soap and a kitchen sponge backed by a Scotch-Bright® pad. A commercially available stainless steel cleaner can also be used.

When trying to remove a heavier grease and dirt build-up, a mild mixture of dish soap and warm water can be used for cleaning. To remove the most stubborn stains, a non- metallic, medium grit abrasive like Scotch-Brite® can be used, but ALWAYS remember to work in the direction of the grain.

DO NOT use metallic abrasives (like steel wool) to clean your grill’s front surfaces.

DO NOT use solvents on the grill label.

WARNING It is critical to keep the drip pan free from

food build-up, as this debris can still cause flare-ups and create a fire hazard. Always

remember to replace the drip pan into the grill after cleaning. DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE DRIP PAN IN PLACE.

It is also good practice to check the contents

of the drip pan after a heavy rain.

If the appliance is not covered, the drip pan can

collect water and prevent it from doing its job.

CLEANING YOUR GRILL

Grate

CLEANING THE GRATES

It is best to clean the Grates after each use by using a commercially available brass grate cleaning brush. Brush in the direction of the grate bars (forward and backward). This can be accomplished after the grill has been turned OFF but is still warm. It is important to remove the grease splatters and food debris at this time rather than allowing it to be ‘baked-on’ at the next cook-out.

Periodically, the grates should be cleaned in a more thorough manner. Remove the grates from the grill AFTER THE GRILL IS COMPLETELY COOL. Deep clean the grates as you would clean a pot or pan by placing it in a sink with warm soapy water. For the more stubborn stains, use a sponge backed with Scotch-Brite® and carefully apply pressure to the stain. Remember to always rub in the direction of the grate bars.

(away from you) to allow the front of the burner to slide off from the valve orifice. Carefully remove the burner from the grill and tilt the open end of the burner over a trash can to allow loose debris to fall.

Use a brass or steel brush to remove as much

exterior debris as possible. For any stubborn stains or debris spots, use a metal scraper (putty knife or equivalent) to remove. Inspect all burner ports (holes) to assure that they are not clogged. Clear any clogged ports with a paper clip. DO NOT use a wooden tooth pick as it can break off inside the port.

Continue the cleaning process by again tilting

the burner upright, with the venturi opening facing down, and over the trash can. Shake the burner and allow all remaining INSIDE debris to fall out from the venturi opening.

CLEANING THE BURNERS

Once the Grates have been removed from the appliance (see above), you may want to include a deep cleaning of the burners since you will now have easier access to the burners. Make

sure the appliance is cool and that all control valves and main gas supply lines are turned OFF.

With gloves on your hands, carefully spread the Lava Rocks away from each burner to completely expose the burner. Slide the burner FORWARD (toward you) to allow the back flange to lift up and disengage from it retaining cradle. Now, slide the burner toward the rear

The INSIDE of the burner can be cleaned by

flushing it out with a garden hose. Be sure each burner is completely dry before re-installing.

WARNING

Proper placement of ALL burners, after cleaning,

is CRITICAL. They must be centered over the brass orifices and engaged into their rear cradles. The Lava Rocks must be re-spread over the burners to allow proper function of the burners.

Big 60 Top Pan

Big 60 Burner

SPECIAL CLEANING FOR A1TS/B60 AND GRILLS WITH BIG 60 BURNER

CLEANING THE BURNER

If your grill is equipped with a BIG 60 side power burner, then periodically you should perform a mild cleaning of the Pan Supports, Top Pan, and the Burner. All procedures must be done when

the appliance is COLD and all control knobs and main gas supply lines are turned OFF.

Start by removing the Pan Supports located on top of the appliance. These supports can be removed by lifting each one up from the center and tilting them out from their retaining slots.

Continue by removing the Top Pan by simply lifting up on the pan and separating it from the grill body.

Both the Pan Supports and the Top Pan can be placed in a sink of dish soap water (similar to cleaning a kitchen pot or pan) and then gently scrubbing them with a non-metallic medium grit abrasive (like a sponge backed with ScotchBrite® or equivalent). Using metallic abrasives

(like steel wool) is NOT recommended since portions of the steel fibers can remain on the supports.

NOTE: in some cases, depending on the option,

a heavy duty bar grate is supplied with the Big 60 unit rather than a Top Pan and Pan Supports. If this is the case, simply remove this grate for cleaning and to access the burner.

Examine the Burner:

Once the Top Pan and Pan Supports (or the

grate) have been removed, the burner will be clearly visible and accessible.

Check the burner for any dirt or debris that may

have fallen onto it. Clean the burner with a brass or wire brush and look particularly for clogged burner ports. Clear any visibly clogged ports with a paper clip. Do NOT use a wooden tooth pick as, this could break off inside the port. In most cases, minor surface cleaning of this burner is all that is needed to keep your grill clean and working properly.

If you suspect that the burner may need a more

thorough cleaning, i.e., it appears to generate reduced heat or the burner flames are solid yellow, then the burner can be removed from the grill for a deeper cleaning and adjustment. See also the ‘Trouble Shooting’ section of this manual under the heading ‘Yellow Burner Flames- Big 60 Only’.

REMOVING THE BURNER Always be sure that the appliance is cold and

the valve controls and the main gas supply have been turned OFF.

on the front venturis of the burner.

from the venturi openings. The INSIDE of the burner can be cleaned by flushing it out with a garden hose. Be sure the burner is completely dry before re-installing.

Once the burner is thoroughly clean and dry,

reinstall the burner into the grill by first sliding the three front venturi openings over the three valve orifices. Allow the burner to rest on its rear support and allow the screw to enter the hole in the burner support. Reinstall the nut. Reinstall the Top Pan, and the Pan Supports or the top Grate.

WARNING Proper placement of the

burner, after cleaning, is CRITICAL. It must be centered over the brass orifices and resting on its rear support cradle with nut installed.

For adjustment or re-adjustment of the Air

Shutters on the burner venturi, please see the ‘Trouble Shooting’ section of this manual under the heading ‘Yellow Burner Flames- Big 60 Only’.

Working over a trash can, turn the burner over to allow the loose debris to fall. Use a brass or steel brush to remove as much debris as possible. For any stubborn stains or debris spots, use a metal scraper (putty knife or equivalent) to remove. Inspect all burner ports (holes) to assure that they are not clogged. Clear any clogged ports with a paper clip. DO NOT use a wooden tooth pick as it can break off inside the port. Finish the cleaning process by tilting the burner upright, with the three venturi openings facing down, and over the trash can. Shake the burner and allow all remaining INSIDE debris to fall out

TROUBLESHOOTING

Please check the more common and more obvious functions before further attempting to troubleshoot your LazyMan Model A Series appliance, and before you call for service. Sometimes great aggravations can result from simple oversights.

 For Natural Gas (NG)- is the main shut-

off valve turned on? The valve will be ON when the valve lever is parallel to the gas line.

For Liquid Propane Gas (LP)- is the valve knob turned at least one complete turn in the COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction?

 Does the Liquid Propane (LP) gas

cylinder have fuel? Is the hose connection tight? These cylinders have a built-in safety valve that prevents the fuel from being supplied (or may reduce the gas flow) if the tank has recently been tilted or jarred. This will make the cylinder appear to be empty. If so, wait 5 minutes for the valve to reset and try again. This time, open the valve very SLOWLY to help allow the valve to reset.

 Is the correct type of fuel being

supplied? The type of fuel your grill was built for (NG or LP) can be found on the label at the right rear of the appliance.

 Is the Lava Rock properly and evenly

spread over the burners and covering the burners completely? Per design of this grill, the burners will not ignite if they are not properly covered by the Lava Rock. The grill burners depend on the reduced air mixture created by the Lava Rocks to function properly.

In most cases, the following troubleshooting tips can be performed by the grill owner and can be performed relatively safely. Please read and follow the steps carefully to assure that there have not been oversights in troubleshooting your LazyMan product. If you have exhausted the troubleshooting steps, OR if you are simply not comfortable working on your grill, you can contact the LazyMan Customer Service team and they will be glad to assist you.

TROUBLESHOOTING

GRILL DOESN’T LIGHT

See the previous Troubleshooting tips for checking the most common lighting issues.

LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT

If you suspect that your appliance is NOT providing the amount of heat that you expect, there may be several things to look at.

1. First, assure that you provide adequate time for the food being prepared to heat up. This process should be similar to and exceed that amount of time you might expect from your kitchen range.

2. Do not line ANY portion for the appliance with aluminum foil. This will disrupt air flow and cause the unit to burn unevenly.

3. Assure that the appliance is level. This will also disrupt air flow and cause uneven cooking.

4. Make sure that the gas type being used (NG or LP) is the gas type that the grill was set for at the factory. The label with this information can be found on the right rear of the appliance. If the gas type has been converted (either at installation or at the place of purchase) then check for the following:

The Natural Gas (NG) unit has been equipped with a gas regulator to be installed at the rear. If this appliance has been converted to Liquid Propane (LP), then ensure that the original NG regulator has been removed from the gas line grill before the LP hose connection was added. Never use more than one gas regulator to control

gas flow. This will substantially REDUCE cooking efficiency.

5. If a low heat condition still persists, check that the gas line (for NG applications) is of adequate size for the length of run for all of the equipment being used. The minimum size is 1/2"(I.D.), but the larger 3/4"(I.D.) size is recommended for optimum performance. See section entitled

‘NATURAL GAS’ under the ‘GAS CONNECTIONS’ portion of this manual.

6. If the gas used is Liquid Propane (LP), check that the gas hose is not being

‘crimped’ and is connected to the tank

properly. The hose and regulator assembly MUST be the hose that has been supplied with your LazyMan appliance.

7. Low or insufficient heat can also be caused by burner obstructions. Follow the burner removal instructions found in the

section entitled ‘CLEANING THE BURNERS’.

With the burners out of the grill, look inside each burner for obstructions that may interrupt gas flow. Follow the remainder of that section.

8. Windy conditions can greatly interrupt air flow and cause insufficient heat conditions. If heavy winds are prevailing and are coming from any direction, it is better to turn DOWN the heat on the burner. Cooking may take a little longer, but the smaller flames will not be as disrupted from the wind as the larger flames.

YELLOW BURNER FLAMES-BIG 60 ONLY

1. A yellow flame from the burners indicates a lack of air entering the burner. This can also contribute to low or

TROUBLESHOOTING

insufficient heat. Note that as the appliance interior becomes dusty or greasy, a yellow tip may appear at the tip of a blue flame. This is normal. The full yellow flame can be adjusted by opening up the air shutters found on the front intake (venturi) of the Big 60 burner. Please follow the burner

removal instructions found in the section of this manual entitled ‘CLEANING YOUR GRILL’ and under the heading ‘REMOVING THE BURNER’. With the burner in your

hand, face the venturis and air shutters toward you. The air shutters have been factory tested and set so the air shutter is opened HALF way.

IF YOU SMELL OF GAS

1. If you smell gas while the appliance is lit, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.

2. Perform a leak test per the instructions

under the ‘GAS CONNECTIONS’ section of this manual entitled ‘LEAK TEST PROCEEDURE’. If no leaks are found, check

for blockages in the burner inlets (venturis). Refer to the section of this manual entitled

‘CLEANING THE BURNERS’. If you are

uncomfortable with performing these tests yourself, then call your local gas company.

APPLIANCE DOES NOT LIGHT AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME

2. Loosen the screw found on the bottom of the air shutter. The shutter can now be rotated in either direction to reach the desired opening. Rotate the shutter slightly to close the opening that is seen through the side of the air shutter. Repeat for all burner rings that appeared to have had yellow flames. Re-tighten all screws.

3. Reinsert the burner and test. If the flames are BLUE but are noisy (like a torch) and appear to ‘lift’ off the burner, then repeat the process. Allow the burner to cool and modify the adjustment by rotating the shutter BACK slightly (closing up the air shutter opening), until the flames are blue, stable, and quiet.

Insects are attracted to the smell of gas. Check the burner(s) and valve orifices to be sure they are clear of any spider webs or nests. The burner(s) should be cleaned periodically for optimum performance.

VALVE DOES NOT TURN FREELY

Never attempt to lubricate valves. They are sealed and lubricated at the time of manufacture. They do not require further maintenance. If your valves are hard to turn, then they need to be replaced. Refer to the parts lists at the end of this manual or contact your dealer where the grill was purchased.
