GENERAL INFORMATION

Gas Requirements

WARNING

▲

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas (N.G.) or Liquid Propane (L.P.), and make sure the serial plate agrees with that of the supply. Conversion kits are available separately for an additional cost which will enable you to convert your grill from L.P. to N.G. or to convert your grill from N.G. to L.P. Please see your local dealer for more information.

WARNING

▲

For natural gas installations, an installer must supply a gas shutoff valve that is easily accessible to the grill. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70- 2002, and the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54-2002/ANSI Z223.1-2002.

All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of L.P. gases. Never use

pipe sealant on are ttings. All gas connections should be made by a competent qualied service

technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54-2002/ANSI Z223.1-2002. Gas conversions kits may be purchased separately. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number, and the type of gas (N.G. or L.P.) used for your grill.

Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to

an unregulated gas line can cause excessive heat or re.

Always have a qualified service technician perform difficult

conversions or modications.

This grill and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).

This grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.).

The installation of this grill must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Code, NFPA 54-2002/ANSI Z223.1a-2002.

Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Standard CSA B149.1 or B149.2 (installation code for gas burning appliances and equipment) and local codes.

Gas Requirements

L.P. GAS INSTALLATION

Sure Fire™ Gas Grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly.

designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders they can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.

L.P. TANK INFORMATION

(Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a

This assembly is

Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.

L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overlling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the ow of gas

to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is

heated, averting a re or possible injury.

The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The

L.P. cylinder must have an overll protection device, OPD, and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)

The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specications for L.P.

gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/ CAS-B339, “ Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission.”

L.P. TANK USE

• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to insure proper gas ow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low ames. Opening the valve slowly will insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.

• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “ OFF” position.

• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.

• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.

• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

WARNING

▲

DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near

• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

the grill. Never ll the cylinder beyond 80% full.

If this information is not followed exactly, a

re causing death or serious injury may occur.

Pre Operation Leak Testing

GENERAL INFORMATION

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

1. Do not smoke while leak testing.

2. Extinguish all open ames.

3. Never leak test with an open ame.

4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.

TESTING

1. Turn off the burner control knobs.

2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counter-clockwise (right to left) two (2) rotations to

open.

3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear,

there is no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected,

immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking ttings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.

4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.

5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the

control knobs back off.

6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

Check all gas supply ttings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator. Have a qualied service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system

is replaced. Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply

cylinder has been disconnected.

WARNING

▲

When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections,

including the side burner. A slight leak in the system can result in a low ame, or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. A leak may signicantly reduce the gas ow making the grill difcult to light or causing low ames.

WARNING

▲

If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. If necessary, replace the faulty part with the manufacturer’s recommended replacement part. A slight leak could cause a re.

Using the Rotisserie Burner

The grill rotisserie burner is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods, this intense heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.

Remove the warming rack from the grill when using the rotisserie to prevent

warping from the intense heat of the infrared unit.

NOTE: The rotisserie spit rod is centered between the grill hood and the burners. It may be necessary to remove the grates and flavor grids when cooking larger portions of meat on the rotisserie. This is by design, since this conguration gives you the most possible room above and below the rod for larger pieces of meat.

Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5 minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 12 lbs. of food. The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of the grill. Make sure the rotisserie motor is completely seated on the bracket prior to operating. Make sure the rotisserie cord is away from any hot surfaces.

Note: Rotisserie motor, spit and forks are not included and sold separately.

IMPACT WITH HARD OBJECTS -

Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic. You should take particular care when inserting or removing cooking grids and accessories into or from the grill. If objects such as these fall onto ceramic, it is likely to crack the ceramic.

IMPAIRED VENTILATION OF HOT AIR FROM GRILL -

In order for the burners to function

properly, hot air created by the burners must have a way to escape, the burners may become

deprived of oxygen, causing them to backre, especially if the burner output is set at HIGH. If this

occurs repeatedly, the burners may crack. This is the reason your grill was designed with ventilation louvers. These design features give the hot air an escape route. Accordingly, never operate your grill

with very little or no open space at the cooking surface (the cooking grids provide sufcient space). Also, never cover the ventilation louvers with foil or other materials that prevent air ow. Specically,

do not cover the entire surface with foil, a large pan, etc.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

- Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and

other ammable vapors and liquids.

- Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air.

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

- Visually check the burners

Normal: Soft blue ames

Out of Adjustment: Ha r d blue

ames- too much air

Poor Combustion: wavy, yellow ames- too little air

Care and Maintenance

DRIP TRAY

The drip tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.

NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.

Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will ll with water

causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We recommend cleaning and storing the

drip tray after every use.

COOKING GRATES

The cooking grate can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.

STAINLESS STEEL

After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.

Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn appearance. For removal, use a non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.

NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

IGNITER ACCESS (UNDER SIDE BURNER SHELF)

To remove igniter, unscrew igniter push button and locking nut from front panel of the side burner and igniter will fall out through the bottom.

PORCELAIN PARTS

Certain parts of your grill have a porcelain coating. Porcelain is a glass-based product, and is highly durable to standard wear and tear. However, porcelain is sensitive to concussive blows, which can create interlaced micro-fractures, or “spider-webs.” Please take care not to strike any porcelain covered parts with solid objects, drop them, or create any other concussive blows. These interlaced micro-fractures are common and may lead to minor chipping. Neither the chipping nor the interlaced micro-fractures will adversely affect the performance of your grill, and are not covered under the warranty for porcelain parts.

INFRARED BURNER CLEANING

After each use, it is necessary to burn the bottom infrared burner with the hood open for at least ve minutes to vaporize any food drippings or particles. Failure to perform this step will damage the burner. It may occasionally be necessary to brush, blow, or vacuum accumulated ash from the burner surface. Do so carefully and only when the burner is cool.

Troubleshooting Your Grill

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

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

• The smell of gas.

• Flames appearing mostly yellow. (some yellow at the tips is OK)

• The grill will not get hot enough.

• Burners make a snapping noise.

• The grill heats unevenly.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spider and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to ow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a re to occur behind the valve panel, thereby

damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the grill and remove any spiders, insects and webs at least once a year to reduce this risk.

BEFORE CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE

If the grill does not function properly, use the following checklist.

Problem

Grill will not light when the igniter button is pushed.

SOLUTION

• Is your gas supply turned on?

• Is there gas in your L.P. tank? Check your gas level.

• Is one of your burners turned on? Allow up to four seconds of gas ow to ignite.

• Is your igniter working?

You should hear a snapping sound when you press the igniter?

If you hear a snapping sound can you see a spark at the electrodes?

Note - You will need to remove your cooking grates and

avor grids to see the electrodes.

• Check to see if your igniter battery is installed correctly with the positive side to the outside.

• Check your igniter battery and replace if needed.

• Check for loose wire connections to the igniter or electrodes.

• Check to see if debris is blocking the electrodes.

• If the igniter is not working can you light the grill with a match?

Troubleshooting Your Grill

Problem

Grill will not light with a match or low heat with dial set to "High" position.

Flame is erratic

SOLUTION

• Is your gas supply fully turned on?

• Is there gas in your L.P. tank? Check your gas level.

• Shut off gas supply, disconnect gas line at tank, reconnect

the line to the tank.

• Make sure all the knobs are in the “OFF” position, then open

the gas supply valve on the L.P. tank very slowly 1/4 turn, then

open fully (at least two full turns). Check Flame.

• Check to insure the gas supply line or hose is not kinked.

• If only one burner appears low, check and clean the burner

ports if clogged or dirty.

• Check for leaks.

Note: PreHeating time can take from 5 to 10 minutes.

• Check gas connection

• look for kinked hose.

• make sure gas supply valve is fully open.

Burner ame is mostly yellow or orange, possibly in

conjunction with smell of gas.

• Gas level may be low.

• Grill may be in need of cleaning.

• Check flavor grids and cooking grates for excess food or grease buildup.

• Ensure grill is not placed directly in the path of wind.

• Be sure drip tray is clean, (do not use aluminum foil on drip tray.)

Note: Some areups may be inevitable if cooking greasy

foods.

• Check the burner inlet for obstructions. Particularly at air inlets for each burner.

• Grill may be in an area that is too windy.
