“LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual.

CAUTION: Beware of Flashback

TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANS Z21.58a CSA

1.6a-2008 STANDARD FOR OUTDOOR COOKING GAS
APPLIANCE. THIS GRILL IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally
spin webs or make nest in the grill
burner tubes during transit and
warehousing. These webs can lead
to gas flow obstruction, which could
result in a fire in and around burner
tubes. This type of fire is known as
“FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your grill
and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.

Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of

“FLASH-BACK”, it is the most common cause.
To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK”, you must clean the

burner tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a
month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most
active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if
your grill has not been used for an extended period of time. A
clogged tube can be lead to a fire beneath the grill.

Grill Installation Codes

Check your local building codes for the proper method of
installation. in the absence of local codes, this unit should
be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code ,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gases, ANSI /NFPA B149.2 or CSA
B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, and the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Correct LP Gas Tank Use
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20
lb. Liquid Propane Gas tank, not included with grill. Never
connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this
capacity.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and

Leak Testing

GENERAL

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak
tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas

leak test must be performed at the installation

site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or
excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the
unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks
following the procedures listed below. If the smell of
gas is detected at anytime you should immediately
check the entire system for leaks.

BEFORE TESTING

Make sure that all packing material is removed from
the grill including tie-down straps.

DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN
FLAME.

Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and
one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or
rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial
leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder is 80% full.

TO TEST

1. Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF”
position, and turn on the gas supply.

2. Check all connections from the LP gas
regulator and supply valve up to and including
the connection to the manifold pipe assembly
(the pipe that goes to the burners). Soap
bubbles will appear where a leak is present.

3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas
supply and tighten the leaky fittings.

4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.

5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the
fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact
customer service at 1-888-301-0332.

ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY L.P.
TANK CHANGE

Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each
use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy
water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line.
Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.

Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer
should be used on the grill.

Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the grill
until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

GAS FLOW CHECK

Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory
prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas
supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The
flames of the burners should be visually checked.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips,
excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist,
check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked
by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If you have any
questions regarding flame stability, please call customer
service 1-888-301-0332.

Operating Instructions

GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL

Each main burner is rated at 10,000 Btu/hr. The main
grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and
are side ported to minimize blockage from falling
grease and debris.

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices.
The more thoroughly the grill is preheated, the faster
the meat browns and the darker the grill marks.

DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.

Grill Lighting Instructions

WARNING: IMPORTANT!
BEFORE LIGHTING

Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas

“ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion,

it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill
if the odor of gas is present. Only the pressure
regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit
should be used.

Never substitute regulators and hose assembly for
those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is
necessary, contact the manufacturer for proper
replacement. The replacement must be that
specified in the manual.

WARNING: Always keep your face and body as
far away from the burner as possible when
lighting.

TO LIGHT THE MAIN BURNER

Make sure all knobs are “OFF” then turn on the gas

supply from the LP (Liquid Propane) tank. Always
keep your face and body as far from the grill as
possible when lighting.
Push and turn Main Burner knob slowly to
IGNITE/HIGH, hold in until the burner is lit,
burner should light immediately.
If burner does not light , turn the knob to OFF
and repeat the lighting procedure.
If the burner does not light wait 5 minutes for any
excess gas to dissipate and then retry.

TO MATCH LIGHT THE GRILL
If the burner will not light after several attempts then the

burner can be match lit.
Match light extension rod is located on the inside panel of

the door.

If you’ve just attempted to light the burner with the igniter,

allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate.
Keep your face and hands as far away from the grill as
possible.
Insert a lit match attached to the lighting rod through the
cooking grids to the burner.
Press the control knob and rotate left to the HIGH/ON
setting continue to press the knob until the burner ignites.
Burner should light immediately.

immediately turn the control knob “OFF”. Allow 5 minutes

for any accumulated gas to dissipate. If the sear burner
igniter is not functioning, see the following section for
match lighting.

USING THE GRILL
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper

browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HIGH” heat

setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling
large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to
turn the heat to the lower setting after the initial browning.
This cooks the food through without burning the outside.
Foods cooked for a long time or foods basted with a
sugary marinade may need the lower heat setting near
the end of the cooking time.

NOTE: This grill is designed to grill efficiently without the
use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is
radiated by the stainless steel flame tamers positioned
above each burner.

Do not attempt to light the grill if odor of gas is
present. Call for service at 1-888-301-0332.

Care and Maintenance

STAINLESS STEEL

There are many different stainless steel cleaners available.
Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in
the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will
scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches in the
stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper
in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on
the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface
and give the appearance of rust. For removal use a mild
abrasive pad in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.

GRILL GRATE

The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking
is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque
mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass
bristle barbeque brush in water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the
brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam, created as water
contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening
any food particles. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning,
cleaning will be more difficult.

ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY AND THE KNOBS ARE

IN THE “OFF” POSITION. MAKE SURE THE RANGE TOP

BURNER IS COOL BEFORE REMOVAL.

GRILL BURNERS

Extreme care should be taken when moving a burner as it
must be correctly centered on the orifice before any attempt is
made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on
how often you use the grill.

MAIN GRILL BURNER CLEANING

Ensure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the “OFF”

position. Make sure the grill is cool. Clean the exterior of the
burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal
scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper
clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and
clog the port. Please note if insects or other obstructions are
blocking the flow of gas through the burner, and if so you will
need to call our customer service line at 1-888-301-0332.

GREASE TRAY CLEANING
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down
periodically and wash with a mild detergent and warm water
solution. A small amount of sand may be placed in bottom of
grease tray to absorb the grease. Check the grease tray
frequently, do not allow excess grease to accumulate and
overflow out of the grease tray.

Warning: If you wish to replace main burner, we
strongly recommend that you hire a
professionally trained technician to replace it.
Please understand that we will not be responsible
for any liability, personal injury, or property
damage resulting from an improperly assembled
burner.

HOW TO REPLACE MAIN BURNER

Step 1. Remove the main burner “R” pin on the back wall of

fire box by using needle nose pliers. Use a flathead
screwdriver to remove burner pin cover, then remove the
burner on the front wall of fire box, as shown below.

Step 2. Insert the burner onto the orifice and secure the
burner pin cover on the burner, as shown below, make
sure burner hole aim at orifice .

Step 3. Secure the main burner on the back wall of fire box
with “R” Pin.

CAUTION

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

2. Do not obstruct the flow of combustible and
ventilation air.

3. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder
enclosure free and clear from debris.

Trouble Shooting

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS

You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the following conditions occur:

1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.

2. The grill does not reach temperature.

3. The grill heats unevenly.

4. The burners make popping noises.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

If the grill does not function properly, use the following check list before contacting your dealer for service. You may save the
cost of a service call.

PREHEATING: The grill lid should be in a closed position during the preheat time period. It is necessary to preheat the grill
before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature. Food that requires a high cooking
temperature needs a pre-heat
period of five minutes; food that requires a lower cooking temperature needs only a period of two to three minutes.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

High setting-Use this setting for fast warm-up, for searing steaks and chops, and grilling.
Low setting-Use this setting for all roasting, baking, and when cooking very lean cuts such as fish.
These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind.
Cooking with indirect Heat: You can cook poultry and large cuts of meat slowly to perfection on one side of the grill by indirect

heat from the burner on the other side. Heat from the lighted burner circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking the meat or
poultry without any direct flame touching it. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts, because
there is no direct flame to light the fats and juices that drip down during cooking.

CAUTION: If burners go out during operation, close gas supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Open lid and wait five
minutes before attempting to re-light (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).

CAUTION: Should a grease fire occur, close gas supply at source, turn off all burners and leave lid closed until fire is out.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your grill is in operation. As with all appliances, proper care

and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your gas gill has no exception.
CAUTION: Side burner lid will get hot if used when lid is closed.

Trouble Shooting continued

PROBLEM SOLUTION

When attempting to light my grill, it
will not light immediately.

Make sure you have a spark while you are trying to light the burner (if no
spark) . Check if the battery is installed properly.
Ensure that the wire is connected to the electrode assembly.
Clean wire (s) and / or electrode with rubbing alcohol and a clean swab.
Wipe with a clean cloth.
Check to see if the other burners operate. If so, check the gas orifice on
the malfunctioning burner for an obstruction.

Regulator makes noise. Vent hose on the regulator may be plugged or regulator may be faulty.

Ensure the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. Clear the hole,
close the gas control valves. Wait ten minutes and restart.
Check your flames for proper performance. If the flames are not correct,
replace regulator.

Full size cover does not fit the grill. Cover may be incorrect for your grill. It may be a tight fit.

Ensure the cover is the correct length for your grill.
Measure it left to right. Compare to the grill’s measurement.
Compare the location and size of the hood portion of the cover to your
grill.
Spread the cover and allow it to relax, preferably in warm sunlight or in a
warm room.
For grill with a side shelf bunch the cover like a sock, put on left to right.

Grill only heats to 200-300 degrees. Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or kinked.

Make sure the grill area is clear of dust.
Make sure the burner and orifices are clean.
Check for spiders and insects.
The regulator has a safety device that restricts the flow of gas in the
event of a leak. This safety device can be triggered without a gas leak.
To reset the safety device, turn off all burners and close the LP tank
valve. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank and wait one minute.
Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank and slowly open the LP tank
valve until the valve is fully open. Light all burners and observe the
temperature.

Grill takes a long time to preheat. Normal preheat 500-600 degrees, takes about 10-15 min. Cold weather

and wind may effect your preheat time.
If you are using volcanic rock or briquettes they can increase the preheat
time and maximum temperature.

Burner flames are not light blue. Too much or not enough air for the flame.

Elevation is the principal cause, however cold weather can affect the
mixture. Burner adjustment may be required.
Grill is in a windy location.

Grill Hints

The doneness of meat, whether rare, medium, or
well done, is affected to a large degree by the
thickness of the cut. Expert chefs say it is
impossible to have a rare doneness with a thin cut
of meat.

The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat,
the size and shape of the cut, the temperature of
the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of
doneness desired.

When defrosting meats it is recommended that it
be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to
a microwave. This in general yields a juicier cut of
meat.

Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat, as
a spatula will not puncture the meat and let the juices run
out.

To get the juiciest meats, add seasoning or salt after the
cooking is finished on each side and turn the meat only
once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several
times). Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble
to the surface.

Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. To
prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking, slit
the fat around the edges at 2-inch intervals.

DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE
COOKING.
