LOCATING THE GRILL

When selecting a suitable location for your grill, take into account concerns such as wind exposure

and areas of high trafc. Do not locate the grill close to a home or any kind of combustible

construction. Do not locate overhead shading umbrellas or other combustible items near or

above the grill. Grill exhaust can be very hot and under extreme conditions can emit ames.

Maintain an open area around the grill and enclosure at all times, keeping the area free from

combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable vapors and liquids. Be sure your grill is

located on a level surface.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: It’s necessary to open the tank valves slowly to avoid an excess ow surge in the tank

connector safety tting which would cause the gas ow to the manifold to be reduced. This is
a safety feature designed to limit the ow of gas under an excessive ow condition and would
cause the burners to operate with a reduced ame. If this occurs, verify tanks are not empty

or running out of gas. Shut down the grill and “slowly” open the tank gas control valve. Follow
the lighting instructions outlines in steps 1 to 5.

NOTE: The rst time lighting of the appliance may take

longer because of the need to purge the air out of
the gas line and manifold.

Fig. 1, Turn on Gas Supply and press the
igniter button to ignite the igniter tube.

Fig. 2, Use the lighter rod with a lit match to
ignite the igniter tube if the igniter button fails.

1. Be sure LP tank valves are turned “OFF” and are
secured in place. Be sure all knobs are turned
clockwise to “OFF”. If the unit has a hood, be sure
to open it.

2. Slowly open the LP tank gas valve counter clockwise

to allow gas ow to the side of the grill to be lit.

3. Turn the red knob counter clockwise to the “ON”
position and press in the igniter button on the side
to be lit. It may take several tries on the igniter
button to get the small igniter tube lit (Fig 1).

4. If the igniter button does not light the burner after
several tries, turn red knob to OFF position and
use the lighter rod supplied with the unit to hold a
match to light the igniter tube. Push and turn the
red knob counter clockwise to the “ON” position
and using a lit match attached to the lighter rod,
insert this down through the grates to light the 3/8”D
igniter tube. (Fig 2)

5. Verify that the entire length of the lighter tube is lit
and operating. If the lighter tube does not light,
turn off the gas supply, wait 5 minutes and attempt
to re-light the unit. Once the lighter tube is lit, the
burner knobs (black) can be pushed and turned
counter clockwise to the: “HI” position and the
burners should light.

COOKING GRATES & RADIANTS
CLEANING AND INSPECTION

The cooking grates, stainless steel radiants
and the burner can be removed, inspected,
and cleaned as necessary. This is generally
recommended at least once every month of
normal use. The formed hook at the end of
the match lighter rod can be used to lift the
grates up from the grill. Using both hands, lift
up the grate and remove. The grate can be
cleaned with a wire brush and soap solution.
The radiants can be lifted out and inspected
(see illustration). When re-installing the radiants
insert tab into rear slot and place front down
on the alignment stud.

BURNER REMOVAL & CLEANING

Cooking Grates &Radiants can be easily removed for

CAUTION

When re-installing the burner, be sure the burner inlet end

aligns onto the orice as shown in the gure above. The
orice must t straight into the burner inlet hole as shown

and the burner locked in place at the rear with the tab in
the bracket slot. Burner must also sit just below the lighter
tube. Re-install the radiant and grill grates in place above
the burner. Also, at least once a day empty and clean out
the front removable grease pan.

Step 1: The burners can be lifted out by
lifting the end out of the rear slot,

Step 2: Turning to the side while pulling
toward the rear of the grill to remove from

the front orice.

Step 3: Inspect the burner slots, Inlets

& Orice and note their condition. They

can be cleaned using a compressed air
to blow out any debris. If burner slots
are deteriorating or falling apart, replace
burner.

-IMPORTANT-

DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR ON
BURNER ORIFICES OR GAS SUPPLY
CONNECTIONS.

Periodically inspect the fuel supply hoses and be sure the
hose is not kinked or wearing in spots. Inspect for cracks or
dried out sections of hose. If there are any cracks or worn
areas, do not operate grill and replace hose immediately.

DAILY OPERATION (continued)

CLEANING

Clean regularly. Remove cooking grates section to sink for washing use mild detergent and
warm water. Brush out carbonize particles from cooking chamber. Remove and wash grease
pan with mild detergent. Wipe exterior surfaces with detergent and a cloth. A non-abrasive
cleaner can be used on caked areas.

See Accessories Section for any specic instructions on cleaning accessories.

SPIDER WEBS & NEST

Visually inspect the burners & ignitor tube once per year and be sure to visually inspect the inside

inlet venturi & orces for spiders or nests. A spider web in the venturi opening can cause the

following problems:

1. The inability of gas to ow properly into the venturi, resulting in a yellow ame,
no ame, or ashback.

2. The grill does not get up to full temperature. This can also be caused by the
sudden opening of the gas cylinder valve resulting in the actuation of the excess

ow device in the hose/regulator assembly. Turn OFF the gas cylinder valve and

turn the control knob OFF. Wait 15 seconds and slowly turn the LP cylinder valve
ON. Relight the same burner and see if the problem persists. If so, remove the
burner and inspect it for inlet venturi restriction. If there is no restriction, replace
the burner and repeat the lighting steps again by slowly turning on the cylinder
gas valve and lighting the burner. If the burner is still not burning correctly, call
the Star Parts Help Desk at 1-800-807-9054.
