PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider
before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
•All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed
from the burners. (See INDEX: “Unpacking and Assembly”
for further details.)
•You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
•You have electrical connected. (See INDEX: “Electric
Requirements” for further details.)
•A qualified plumber has performed a leak test on all the
fittings that supply fuel to your grill.
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove
the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifices
and valves for obstructions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill
and can disrupt air flow, causing damage to the grill and
personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and fittings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.
CHECKLIST BEFORE EACH USE (FOR YOUR SAFETY)
•Do you smell gas? If yes, shut off everything and call the
gas company or a qualified plumber to check for leaks, if
not please continue.
•If you are using a portable propane cylinder, is it
connected and leak tested? If not, check the connection
before continuing. If yes, please continue.
•Are you prepared to stay with the grill during the entire
cooking process? If not, gather what you need before
starting the lighting process. If yes, please continue.
•Is your cooking area free and clear of any combustibles,
besides your food, that might ignite? If not, clear the area
before starting the lighting process, If yes, please continue.
•Do all control knobs turn freely? If not, call for service, if
yes, please continue.
•Do you know where your grill’s main gas supply shut off
valve is located? If not, locate it before continuing. If yes,
please continue.
•Are all burners properly seated in the grill with mounting
legs in slots? If not, seat the burners properly before
continuing. If yes, please continue.
•Is the wind blowing just lightly and not blowing on the
back of the grill? If not, wait until the wind subsides or turn
your free standing grill so the wind goes into the front of
the grill. If yes, please continue with the lighting process.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please review these imPortant safety Precautions before you use your grill.
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the
burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy
area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Conditions” for
further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves
while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill surfaces or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while grilling.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill.
7. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare
ups. Internal fires or damage caused by them or by the
grill being left unattended while cooking are not covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure
build-up will cause the container to explode.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure
that the drip pans are in place to prevent grease from
leaking downward and producing a fire or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool
down before attempting to handle or dispose of it.
The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular
basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See INDEX: “Leak Test
Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load
weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs and wait five (5)
minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable L.P. cylinders: Always shut off the main valve
on the L.P. cylinder after each use.
9. Inspect the LP hose before each use. If the hose shows
excessive wear or abrasion, or the hose is cut it must be
replaced with a hose assembly available from Lynx Grills.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis,
valves and orifices of a grill, disrupting the gas flow.
This very dangerous condition can cause a fire behind the control panel, damaging the grill and risking
personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long
time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves
and orifices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning the Brass Burner”
for further details.)

PRE-HEATING
BASIC GRILLING
FOOD SETTING
Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely
important. Pre-heating allows the briquettes to properly
heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking
results.
Pre-heat your grill by lighting all main burners and setting
them to the desired cooking temperature.
NOTE: Only heat the grill to the maximum setting when
you plan on cooking at that temperature. Once heated, the
grill will retain heat for long time. Set the temperature for
your desired food items. The temperature controller indicator lights will turn off when the grill reaches the temperature
set point.
COOKING ON THE GRIDDLE PLATE
1. Push in the Power/Shutoff button. The BLUE burner
knob lights will show that the grill is energized
2. Turn the knob clockwise to the desired position. The
indicator lights will glow until the grill reaches the temperature set point. The indicator lights and burners will
cycle OFF and ON under normal operation to maintain
the temperature setting.

STAINLESS STEEL
CLEANING YOUR LYNX GRILL
Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance.
We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship.
In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life
of the grill it is important to take the following steps:
•After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to re-
move grease and splatters.
•Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the
cooking surface clean and ready for use.
•Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner to
clean and polish the exterior surfaces.
Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount
of effort required.
Part of the appeal of your Lynx Grill is the fine grain finish.
When removing stubborn stains:
•Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direc-
tion of the grain.
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS GREASE OR LIQUIDS
TO ACCUMULATE IN THE DRIP TRAY AS THIS
MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD.
NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT DRIP TRAY PROPERLY INSTALLED.
•Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on
your Lynx Grill.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND
COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of
a Lynx Grill is highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the
air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause
surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left
on the product.
Here are a few tips to avoid this:
•Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp
cloth. (Micro fiber cloths such as Ecloth perform very well).
•Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do
not cover a damp grill.
•In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which
leaves a microscopic protective layer on the grill. Products
that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors (VpCI™)
protect the surface very well.
•For seasonal storage use the product referred to above,
ensure the grill is dry and then cover and secure the cover
to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY PROVIDES
PROTECTION AGAINST RUST THROUGH OF PARTS THAT
RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT
COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE
TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
After your first use certain areas of the grill may discolor
from the intense heat given off by the burners - this is normal and cannot be cleaned off.
For light and heavy food stains there are many different
stainless steel cleaners available.
DRIP TRAY
•Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing
in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather
in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the appearance of rust.
To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium grit
non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
•Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can
be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel. Ensure your Lynx products are well protected before you
allow the use of such chemicals near your grill.
The drip trays should be cleaned after each use. After the
grill is completely cool, remove the drip trays by tilting
them forward and up, lifting them out.
They can be wiped down with a paper towel and placed in
a dishwasher for cleaning.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR LYNX GRILL
before you call for service
Please check a few things before calling for service:
•Is there fuel supplied to the grill?
•Is the main shut-off valve open?
•Are you using the correct type of fuel? (LP or Natural Gas)
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.)
•Is your propane cylinder empty? Have you recently refilled
the propane cylinder? If so, is the connection tight?
•Have you opened the valve on the propane cylinder?
•Is the grill plugged in to a live electric circuit?
If you’ve checked the above items, review the trouble-
shooting list below before calling Lynx for service.
WARNING
PROPER PLACEMENT OF EACH BURNER IS
CRITICAL. AFTER CLEANING THEY MUST BE
CENTERED ON THE BRASS ORIFICE,
RESTING LEVEL WITHOUT ANY ROCKING.
FAILURE TO MEET THESE CONDITIONS MAY
CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT
CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
GRILL WON’T LIGHT
First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by turning
on the lights, then:
Check the Igniters
Your Lynx Grill uses an electric ignition system that does
not spark. Instead, the igniters will glow constantly when a
control knob is turned ON.
SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING
IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF THE
MAIN FUEL SUPPLY.
•Perform a leak test (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further
details.)
•Check for blockages (See INDEX: “Clean the Burner”
for further details.)LIGHTS WON’T LIGHT
Check the Burners
If the igniters are working check to see if gas is reaching the
burners by attempting to match light a burner.
•Ensure that all burner controls are set to OFF.
•Lift open the cooking surface.
•Turn the burner knob ON and wait approximately
1 minute for the igniter to glow.
•Check all igniters. If they do not glow, proceed with
trouble shooting.
BE CAREFUL! IF THE BURNER FAILS TO IGNITE, WAIT
5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO IGNITE OTHER
BURNERS! (See INDEX: “Match Lighting” for further details.)
If match lighting doesn’t work, re-check fuel connections
for leaks and ensure the supply is of the correct type and is
of adequate pressure. (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further
details.)
If the burner will light with a match, then the igniter may not
be functioning correctly. Call for service.
If the burner will not match light, and you know you are
getting gas, wait for any gas to dissipate and remove the
burner and check it for blockages.
