• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.

(Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)

• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.

Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.

▲ Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for

tightness.

▲ When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder

valve.

▲ Never move grill while in operation or still hot. ▲ Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns

and splatters.

▲ Maximum load for side shelf is 10 lbs. ▲ The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each

use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has completely cooled.

▲ Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle brush is

used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

▲ If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill

Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve, Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free and clear of debris.

▲ Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure that

would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.

▲ The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during

operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.

▲ If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section". ▲ If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve

immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

• Apartment Dwellers:

Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.

• NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A

buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is hazardous.

• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct

position specified in assembly instructions.

• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove

coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from specified operation position.

CAUTION

• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.

Valve Check

• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.

Hose Check

• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator as specified in the parts list of this Use & Care Guide.

Cast Iron Grate Seasoning (if applicable) First Use – Before first use, season cast iron grates as follows:

Rinse cast iron grates with hot water. Do not use soap. Dry grate thoroughly with a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly raise temperature to 350° - 400° F. Heat grates for one hour. Turn off grill and allow grates to cool completely before using to cook. Cleaning – Do not use soap when cleaning grates. Clean grates with a stiff brush and hot water. Dry grates thoroughly with cloth towel. Re-seasoning – Re-season grates when rust spots appear on grate surface. When re-seasoning grates, soap may be used with hot water to clean grates. After cleaning, dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly raise temperature to 350° - 400° F. Heat grates for one

hour. Turn off grill and allow grates to cool completely before using again.

General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted

surfaces.

• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most

residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or

specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

146.23766310 • 9

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or

nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality

appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on drip deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of

the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

Drip Tray and Cup: Regularly clean the grease drippings

•

from the Drip Tray and Drip Cup. When the grill has completely cooled down after use, remove the cup from the tray and slide the tray out of the grill. Clean the grease drippings from the cup and tray surfaces by washing with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth. Slide the tray back into the grill and replace the cup back into the tray before using the grill again.

WARNING

Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF when not in use.

Soaking Wood Chips :

Note: soaking wood chips will prevent the wood chips from igniting and will produce better smoking results. For best results soak your wood chips as follows:

• Small wood chips soak 1 – 2 hours before use

• Larger wood chips soak 2 – 3 hours before use

Adding Wood Chips

Fill the center section of the wood chip pan with wood chips. Pour water into the surrounding outer section of the pan. The surrounding water will prevent the wood chips from overheating and burning out too quickly. One full pan is typically enough for several hours of smoking. Once the pan is filled, set the pan in the smoker and cover with lid. To add wood chips while cooking, we recommend using tongs or long handled pliers to remove the pan lid and to place the pieces into the wood chip pan without removing the pan. It is not recommended to remove the wood chip pan while the smoker is in operation.

Smoker Burner Igniter Lighting:

1. Open door before lighting smoker burner.

2. Make sure control knob is in the “OFF” position.

3. Push and turn smoker burner control knob to Hi.

CAUTION

The wood chip pan and lid get very hot. Avoid handling them while in use. Always wear protective oven mitts when handling hot components.

Smoker Operation:

• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your

smoker, oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surface of your smoker.

• Before cooking on your smoker for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on “Hi” to burn off these residual oils.

Cooking Tips:

• To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean

watering can with a long spout.

4. If Ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner control knob OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.

5. To turn off, turn control knob clockwise until it locks in the “OFF” position.

Match Lighting the Smoker:

1. Open the door to the burner before lighting.

2. Turn the burner control knob to “OFF”.

3. Strike and carefully place a match approximately

1/2” (1 to 2cm) from the burner.

4. Turn the burner control knob to the “HI” position.

The burner should light within 5 seconds.

5. Once burner is lit, continue to push and hold

control knob for 30 seconds.

6. If the burner does not light, turn the control knob to

“OFF” and wait 5 minutes for gas to clear away and repeat lighting procedure.

7. If the burner does not light within the first few

attempts of match lighting, there is a problem with the gas supply. Turn off the gas at the burner and cylinder. DO NOT attempt to operate the grill until the problem is found and corrected.

10 • 146.23766310

Cooking Tips – Flavoring wood:

• Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip box.

• Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite.

• Most fruit or nut tree woods produce excellent smoke flavoring

• Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood. This usually produce unpleasant flavoring.

• Let your taste be your guide – experiment with different types and quantities of wood chunks, chips, or sticks. You can even mix woods.

•To produce more smoke and to prevent fast burning, pre-soak the wood chips in a separate bowl of water for at least 20 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated aluminum foil.

• Most smoke flavoring occurs within the first hour of cooking. Adding wood chips after the first hour is typically not necessary unless extra smoke flavoring is desired.

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in which spiders tend to build nests.

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the venturi’s.

Spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Storing Your Grill

•Clean cooking grates.

•Store in dry location.

•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.

•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by manufacturer once available.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.

• When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly

” instructions before starting grill.

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder

2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.

3. Remove cotter pin from rear of burners. (See Fig A. next Page)

4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.

Indirect Cooking

Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.

Indirect Cooking Instructions

• Always cook with the lid closed.

• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking temperature.

• Place food over over unlit burner(s).

2 Burner Cooking

Great indirect cooking on low. Produces slow, even heating. Ideal for slow roasting and baking.

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps: Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry. Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods. Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures. Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly. For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 (In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00 am

4:00 pm EST).

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast

on the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.

• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145° F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.

• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like

hot dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.

WARNING: To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be cooked to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table below.
