COOKING TEMPERATURES

Burn-off:
Before cooking on your barbecue for the first time, burn-off any residual oils or foreign matter by igniting the
burners. Ensure the lid is opened, and operate at “HIGH” setting for approximately 10 minutes. Wipe with cloth to
remove all residue. Allow to cool before washing parts thoroughly with soap suds and scrubbing brush. Wipe
clean with cloth. Your grill is ready to use.

Preheating:
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for a short time before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food
and the cooking temperature. Food that requires a high cooking temperature needs only a period of 2-3 minutes
preheating.

INSTALLATION: This gas grill must be installed in accordance with the local codes or, if in an

area without local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

In Canada, installation must conform to the standard CAN/CGA-B149.1 and/or .2 (Installation

Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment) and any local codes.

DANGER

used indoors, including in the garage, breezeways, sheds or enclosed areas.
* DO NOT add charcoal starter fluid or charcoal to the gas grill.
* DO NOT leave barbecue unattended.
* DO NOT allow infants, children or pets near or around the grill at any time.
* DO NOT attempt to move the grill while hot at any time.
* DO NOT cook on grill while wearing loose clothing or flowing sleeves.
* DO NOT cook on decks, covered patios or areas of dry grass.
* DO NOT leave fuel cylinder attached to grill when not in use.
* DO NOT attempt to clean the grill until it has completely cooled.
* DO NOT store a spare LP cylinder under or near this grill.

WARNINGS

* Always maintain a minimum clearance of 3 feet or 1 meter from all sides of grill to any

combustible construction.

* Keep any electrical supply cord away from any heated surface. During assembly of grill and

when attaching or replacing the L.P. gas cylinder, insure that the gas supply hose is free of kinks

and is at least 3” away from hot surfaces such as the grill casting.
* DO NOT use Natural Gas in a unit designed for Liquid Propane Gas.
* Your new barbecue grill is equipped with a type 1 coupling nut. DO NOT attempt to connect to

any other L.P. cylinder not equipped with a mating type 1 cylinder valve. This grill is not to be

used with any other cylinder connection device.
* YOU MUST USE AN ''OPD'' GAS TANK WHICH OFFERS AN OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE.
* Always open lid before and during lighting the grill.

DO NOT turn gas supply on without having

the lid in the open position.
* Never touch the barbecue body, cooking grill, or gas grate to see if they are hot.
*

DO NOT hold your face over the grill while lighting. Stand off to the side of the grill.

* Always use barbecue mitts or hot pads while barbecuing or adjusting the gas control.
* Always use barbecue tools with long, heat-resistant handles.
*

DO NOT line the grill with aluminum foil. This will block off air vents and the grill will not operate

properly.
*

DO NOT use sharp or abrasive cleaners on the grill surface.

* Discard used and empty fuel tanks in a safe manner. See fuel tank manufacturer’s instructions.
*

DO NOT store fuel tanks in the house. Always store fuel tanks in well ventilated areas, away from

the barbecue grill. See fuel tank manufacturer’s instructions.
*

DO NOT puncture or burn fuel tanks.

*

DO NOT operate the grill if you suspect there is a gas leak.

*

DO NOT use a match or flame to check for gas leaks.
* DO NOT disconnect the gas tank from the gas fitting while the unit is in operation.

* DO NOT operate an LP gas grill if you have knowledge of or suspect a gas leak.
* Grill is residential use only. Do not use for commercial cooking.
* LP gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in an LP unit or LP

gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void you warranty.
* Never use the grill with water when its surfaces are hot because it may cause grease to splatter

or the porcelain cooking grid and grill body to break.
* The LP gas cylinder should never be filled more than 80% of cylinder volume. (20 lb. Maximum).

DO NOT ask the propane supplier to over-fill the cylinder.
* If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or

regulator, turn off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause

and correct it. After cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly, perform a leak test

before continuing use.
