Leak Testing
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service. All
leaks must be corrected immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle
for a new one, make sure all control valves are in the “off” position.
With the LP regulator connected to tank and grill and the grill knobs turned to OFF. Open
the val v e on th e tank . Test for leaks by applyin g liquid soap s olution to all joints. Bubbles
forming indicate gas leak. Fix gas leak before continuing use.
Burner Adjustments
Every gri ll is th orou ghly checke d for pr oper ligh ting and bu r ner flam e pattern. Cond it ions at
the location may necessitate minor adjustment of the burner air intake, if the flames
are not steady/stable as shown in the figure.
The fl ame should be full length of the burner, blue and stable. The air intake (if applicable)
should be adjusted ONLY if the flame is lifting off of the ports or has noticeable
amounts of yellow in the flame.
18 | Page
If flame is lifting, remove the front panel to access the burner fro nt (air shut ter) then turn
the air shutter clockwise reducing this intake. The screw should be loosened before
turning the air shutter.
If the flame has more yellow than blue, the ai r shutter sh ould be turned co unter clock wise
allowing more air in. This will stabilize the flame. Make sure to tighten the screw after
adjustments are made.
In order to provide gas to the burner, the orifice must be inside the burner venturi
opening. Check to ensure that the burner is properly secured at the front and back.
Lighting Instructions
Before Li g ht ing:
Check gas line/hose for signs of wear, abrasion or cuts. If evidence of
deterioration is visible, replace the part prior to use.
If you smell gas, check for leaks. If odor continues, immediately call for service.
Keep your face and body away from the grill top when lighting.

Operation
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE IN OPERATION.
Grill: Grill burners are controlled individually with control knobs. After
lighting, turn the knob to HI, LO or in between as desired. Turn on as
many burners as required. The top cover may be closed during
grilling. Keep the top cover in closed position during the pre heat
period.
If you have installed an optional infra-red burner in your grill, you must leave the lid
open while the infra red burner is in use, due to the intense heat it will generate!
Rotisserie: (Not included with all models) Plug in the motor power cord to a
properly grounded receptac le .
Rotisserie cooking can be done with grill burners as well as with the
Rotisserie burner ‘ON’. KEEP THE MOTOR STORED INDOORS
WHEN NOT IS USE.
Be sure to remove the upper grid in the back of your grill PRIOR to lighting
the rear burner!
The skewers slide in from the side with the ti p sli ding into the motor s haft
adapter. The slot on the handle side should be on the side support
panel edge.
Use the prongs to hold the meat. Tighten thumbscrew on the prong hubs to
secure in place.
When ready, turn the switch on the motor bo x to the ‘ON’ position. The

20 | Page
First Time Operation
MAIN BURNERS:
Before cooking with your grill the first time, burn off any foreign matter and rid
the unit of any odors by operating the unit for about 10 minutes with all lower
burners on high.
The flame should have a bluish color to it. It may have a tint of yellow and
adjustment to the air shutters can be made to obtain a blue flame with a slight
yellow tip.
Although the grill can be operated with the hood closed, do not continually
operate the rotisserie burner with the hood closed. This will damage the grill
and void the warranty.
The grill should be preheated with the main burners on HIGH for 10-15
minutes with the hood closed. If you have an optional infrared burner, the grill
lid must remain open while the infrared burner is in use.
Temperature Settings
- Use HIGH burner setting for searing, heavy cooking, preheat and clean up.
- Use other burner settings to create temperatures to fit your personal cooking
preferences.
- Temperatures may vary with outside temperature and wind conditions.
Remember-your heat indicator is just that, an INDICATOR not an actual
thermometer. ALSO-the temperature at the cooking surface is significantly
higher than what the heat indicator shows in the lid. Your RCS grill has been
designed and manufactured to provide optimum cooking temperatures across
a wide range of foods, without “cooking itself to death!”
You can cook poultry and larger cuts of meat slowly if you turn OFF the burner
directly under the food and use adjacent burners to supply heat (convection
Cooking or Indirect Cooking). When cooking fattier foods, cooking with indirect
heat also greatly reduces flare-ups.
Fats and juices that drip down can cause flare-ups. Since some flare-up do
impart a distinctive and desirable flavor, taste and color to foods being grilled,
they should be carefully and reasonably encouraged. Uncontrolled or
excessive flare-ups, however, will damage your food
21 | Page
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning: Your Bar-B-Q grill works better and lasts longer if properly cleaned and
maintained. Clean the grill after each use. Turn grill off before starting to
clean. Protect your hand with a good mitt when cleaning the hot grill. Use a
wire brush, dip i n water and scrub the cooking grids to soften and loose n
food spills. The food spills will fall into the crumb pan.
Do not use Aerosol cleaners on hot grill surface. Chemicals may
produce noxious fumes and may ignite on contact with the hot
surface.
Shield: Burner shields are m ade up of stainless steel. Occasionally, after allowing
the shields to cool down, remove and soak them in w ater w ith a mild soap
or detergent. Replace when dry.
Crumb Tray / Grease Pan:
Empty grease pan as required to pre vent overflowing. After use, remove
the full width crumb pan and brush off the contents. Clean with hot water
and soap or detergent. NEVER lin e the pan with any type of foil!
All stai nless ste el parts shoul d be cleaned with a mild so ap or deter gent or with a liquid
cleanser especially made for stainless steel. Never attempt to clean stainless steel
with steel wool, abrasive cloths or powders.
Maintenance
Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and air ventilation. Keep the ventilation
opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest
cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noti ceable
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 surface rust. Surface rust is caused by using
steel wool or steel bristle brushes to clean the surfaces. Never use steel wool or steel
bristle brushes on the stainless steel surfaces. It can also be caused by harsh
chemicals used in the area of the grill, like common pool chemicals or acid used to
wash down patios or decks. NEVER store chemicals of ANY kind in or near your grill!
Surface rust may also be caused by othe r fo r m s of cont aminants found in the a ir or as
a result of foreign matter introduced to the grill. For removal of most types of surface
rust, use a slightly abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless
steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the grai n. Surface rust is not covered under
the warranty.
22 | Page
The burners, control area, crumb pan, etc. should be kept clean at all times. During
prolonged non-use of the grill, spiders & insects can nest in areas that will adversely affect
the functioning of the grill. Check burne r inlets, orif ice hood (gas inlet to burner) , igniter ,
sparkers, etc. thoroughly and clean before use.
Fuel (Gas) Conversion Instructions for RCS grills.
This should only be performed by a licensed gas professional
Extra regulator:
Currently all grills are supplied with a regulator installed. When converting the gas
application you must also convert the regulator by removing the large nut on the front
of the regulator, pulling out the plastic orifice, flipping it over and replacing it. Tighten
the large nut and you’re ready to go. (This step does not apply to the LP hose and
regulator set, only the separate regulator that comes with the grill).
In order, the regulator must be installed and converted first in order to achieve
the proper pressure to test the conversion steps 1-10 and back burner
conversion 1-3 below. To adjust the low flame setting if necessary, see next
page………
Unscrew an d remove this br ass ca p
Remove brass cap. This exposes the plastic
plunger
Pull off and flip over the plastic plunger and
replace in the hole. Large side down converts the
regulator to LP by compressing the interior
spring.
Replace the brass cap and you are done!!!
Note: the pl u ng er snaps in and out of the cap.

Low flame setting
Fuel Conversion of Main Burners:
1- Determine the existing gas type. (LP or Natural gas) Changing the gas type
and orifice change out is the same for both gases.
2- You must remove all grates and burner covers to expose the main burners in
the grill.
3- On the bottom rear of each burner is a c otter pin. Remove pin.
4- Slide burner to the rear of the grill and up. Repeat for each burner.
5- Where the burner was located going through a hole in the basin and
connecting to the valve is now evacuated space.
6- Inside the space you will find the end of the valve (front of grill), with an orific e
(brass fitting), screwed into the end of the valve stem.
7- Remove the orifice with a socket set and extension. (These are extremely
fragile when turning. Be extremely gentle when removing).
8- Replace new change out orifice, (repeat for all burners). When re-installing
orifice do not over tighten or you will strip the brass fitting. Little pressure is
needed!!!
9- Replace burn er s an d t est for pr op er flame height. Flame should stand at ½” to
1” on low a nd 1.5” to 2” o n high. ( to adjust t he low flame setting simply light the
grill on the low setting a nd adjust t he screw whi ch is loc at ed under th e k n ob on
the front of the valve as per diagram below.)
10- Replace burner cov er s an d gr ates.
