SAFETY INFORMATION
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
When properly cared for, your grill will
provide safe and reliable service for many
years. Abiding by the following safety
instructions can greatly reduce the risk of
accidents.
• Do not repair or replace any part
of the grill unless specifically
recommended in this manual. A l l
other service should be referred to
a qualified technician.
• This grill is not intended to be
installed in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.
• Do not leave the grill unattended
while cooking.
• Do not try lighting this appliance
without first reading “LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS” located on page
14.
• Your grill will get very hot. Never
lean over the cooking area while
using your grill. Do not touch cooking
surfaces, grill housing, lid or any
other grill parts while the grill is in
operation, and until the grill has
completely cooled after use.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may cause burns from steam. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth in
place of potholders. Do not let
potholders touch hot portions of the
grill rack.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the
grill racks or grill bottom. This can
severely inhibit combustion airflow or
trap excessive heat in the control
area.
• It is recommended that you cover
your grill when it is not in use. This
prolongs the life of your grill and
protects it from the elements.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot
grease cool before attempting to
handle it. Clean the bottom of the
grill’s firebox often, and do not allow
grease deposits to build up.
• For proper lighting and performance
of the burners clean the burner ports
periodically. The burners will only
operate in one position and must be
mounted correctly for safe operation.
• Use caution when cleaning the
grill. Do not use a wet sponge or
cloth to clean the grill while it is hot,
as this could cause steam burns.
Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot
surface.
• Be sure all grill controls are turned
off and the grill is cool before using
any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the grill. In the presence of
heat, the chemical that causes the
spraying action could ignite or cause
metal parts to corrode.
• Do not cook excessively fatty meats
or products on this grill, or flare-ups
may occur.
• Do not operate the grill under
overhead combustible construction.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
Do not use in buildings, garages,
sheds, breezeways, or other
enclosed areas.
• Keep the area surrounding the
grill free from combustible
materials, trash, or combustible
fluids and vapors such as gasoline or
charcoal lighter fluid.
• If the unit is stored indoors, make
sure it is stored in a cool place.
• If propane is used, the cylinder must
be unhooked and the propane
cylinder stored outside in a well
ventilated area, out of the reach of
children.

SAFETY INFORMATION - continued
• Do not use briquettes of any kind
in the grill. This grill is designed for
use without briquettes. Do not place
briquettes on the radiant as this will
block of ventilation for the grill
burners. Adding briquettes can
damage ignition components and
knobs, and will void the warranty.
• Keep the cart clear of debris.
Keep the fuel supply hose away from
the heated areas of the grill. Never
use the grill in extremely windy
conditions. If located in a
consistently windy area (oceanfront,
mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak will
be required. Always adhere to the
specified clearance.
• NEVER USE A DENTED OR
RUSTY PROPANE TANK.
• Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where the grill
is being used. Never allow them to
sit, stand, or play on or around the

• Do not store items of interest to
children around or below the grill or
in the cart. Never allow children to
crawl inside of the cart.
• Never let clothing, pot holders, or
other flammable materials come into
contact with or too close to any
grate, burner, or hot surface until it
has completely cooled. Fabric may
ignite and result in personal injury.
• Wear proper apparel to protect
yourself. Loose-fitting garments or
sleeves should never be worn while
using this appliance. Some synthetic
fabrics are highly flammable and
should not be worn while cooking.
• Only certain types of glass, heatproof
glass ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for grill
use. These types of materials may
break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or
medium heat settings according to
the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not heat unopened food
containers as pressure may build up
and cause the container to burst.
• Use a covered hand when opened
the grill lid. Never lean over an open
grill.
• When lighting a burner, always pay
close attention to what you are
doing. Be certain you are turning
the igniter labeled for the burner
you intend on using.
• Allow grill to cool completely before
adding or removing parts.
• Do not operate any outdoor cooking
gas appliance after it malfunctions or
has been damaged in any manner.
• Do not use an outdoor cooking gas

GAS TANK PRECAUTIONS
12
! Warning !
A strong gas smell or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your grill or the LP gas
tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause
serious property damage, personal injury, or death.
If you smell gas or hear the hissing sound of gas:
• Shut off the gas supply to the grill.
• Turn the control knobs to an OFF position.
• Put out any flames with the proper fire extinguisher.
• Open the grill lid.
• Move a safe distance away from the LP gas tank.
Do not try to fix the problem yourself. If the odor continues or there is a fire you cannot extinguish,
call your fire department. Do not call from near the LP gas tank, as your phone could create a spark
and resulting in a fire or explosion
LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the grill are
leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete check must be performed at the
installation site due to possible mishandling
in shipment, or unknown damage to the unit
from excessive pressure. Periodically check
the whole system for leaks following the
procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is
detected at anytime, immediately check the
entire system for leaks.
• Do not smoke while leak testing.
• Never leak test with an open flame.
Before testing, make sure that all packing
material is removed from the grill including
the burner tie-down straps.
Materials needed:
• Make a soap solution: one part liquid
detergent, one part water.
• Spray bottle.
• Brush or rag to apply the solution the
fittings.
For the initial leak test, make sure the LP cylinder
is full, and the control valves are in the OFF
position. Turn the gas supply on. Check all
connections from the LP cylinder up to and
including the connection to the manifold pipe
assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners).
Use the soap solution and spray or brush it onto
all of the connections.
Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off
the gas supply, tighten any leaky fittings, turn the
gas on and recheck. If the gas continues to leak
from any or all of the fittings, turn of the gas
supply, and contact our customer service at 877-
508-3866.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitutions will void the warranty. Do not use
the grill until all connections have been checked
and do not leak.
13
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General use of the grill
Each main burner is rated at 12,000 BTU/hr.
The main grill burners encompass the entire
cooking area and are side ported to minimize
blockage from falling grease and debris.
Above the burners are steel flame tamers
and the igniter knobs are located on the
lower center portion of the valve panel. Each
rotary igniter is labeled on the control panel.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and
proper browning. Most foods are cooked at
the “IGNITE/HI” heat setting for the entire
cooking time. However, when grilling large
pieces of meat or poultry, it may be
necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting
after the initial browning. This cooks the food
through without burning the outside. Foods
cooked for a long time or foods basted with a
sugary marinade may need a lower heat
setting near the end of the cooking time.
Important: When cooking with the grill lid
closed, never exceed temperatures of
480°F or 250°C.
To begin:
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested
and is properly located.
2. Remove any remaining packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS on the next
page.
4. Turn the control knob(s) to “IGNITE/HI”
and preheat the grill for a maximum of 5
minutes. The grill lid is to be closed
during the appliance preheat period.
5. Place the food on the grill and cook to
the desired doneness. Adjust heat
setting, if necessary. The control knob
may be set to any position between
“IGNITE/HI” and “LO”.
NOTE: The grill is designed to grill efficiently
without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of
any kind. Heat is radiated by the steel flame
tamers positioned above each burner.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in
the juices. The longer your oven preheats,
the faster the meat browns and the darker
the grill marks.
NOTE: Anytime you cook meat above an
open flame, you will have flare-ups. Flareups, and the resulting smoke, gives a
delicious flavor to meat that is cooked over
open flames, so expect some flare-up.
Excessive flare-ups are due to too high a
cooking temperature, or leaving excessive fat
on your meat, and can burn your food. To
prevent this from happening, trim excess fat
from your meat or poultry prior to grilling.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL
UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
SHUTTING DOWN YOUR GRILL:
When you have finished using your grill, turn
all knobs to the OFF position. Close the
valve on the gas supply.
14
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
! WARNING !
BEFORE LIGHTING…
Do not attempt to light the grill if odor of
gas is present.
Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning
the gas ON. If there is evidence of cuts,
wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to
use. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is
present. Only the pressure regulator and
hose assembly supplied with the unit should
be used. Never substitute regulators for
those supplied with the grill. If a replacement
is necessary, contact the factory for proper
replacement.
If the grill lid is not opened during lighting
procedures, there may be a fire or
explosion that could cause serious
property damage, bodily injury, or death.
Screw the regulator (type QCC1) onto the
tank. Leak check the hose and regulator
connections with a soap and water solution
before operating the grill
TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER:
Make sure all knobs are OFF; open the grill
lid and verify that the end of each burner tube
is properly located over each valve orifice.
Make sure the gas connections are securely
tightened. Open the gas supply from the LP
tank slowly until it is half open. Always keep
your face and body as far from the grill as
possible when lighting.
Your grill is equipped with a pilot flame
ignition system on the burners. Push the
Control Knob in and turn slowly (counterclockwise) to HI. If you have difficulty lighting
the burner, it may be necessary to turn and
hold the knob for 1 second before it “clicks”.
If the burner does not light, try once more. If
it still does not ignite, wait 5 minutes for any
accumulated gas to dissipate, and then retry.
Adjust the knobs to your desired cooking
temperature. The lowest flame setting will
occur when the knob is turned fully
counterclockwise.
TO LIGHT THE GRILL BY MATCH:
To light your gas grill by match, open the lid
and light a match. Place the lit match on the
match holder as shown in Figure A. Turn the
right main burner control knob to the HI
setting to release the gas while holding the lit
match on the match holder, located near the
main burner. The burner should light within 5
seconds. If it fails to light, turn the valve off
and wait 5 minutes before attempting to
manually light the burner again.
FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
Check for proper flame height. Each burner
is adjusted prior to shipment; however,
variations in the local gas supply may take
minor adjustments necessary.
Burner flames should be next to the burner,
blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive
noise, or lifting.
Visually check the burner flames prior to
each use. On high, the flames should be
about 1 inch tall and over 80% of the flame
should be blue in color.
If the burner is not getting enough air, the
flame will be mostly red or it may make a
popping sound. If the burner is getting too
much air, the flames will, the flames will be
far off the burner.
If necessary to adjust the air to the burner,
remove the burner when it is cool. At the
open end of the burner is a shutter that is
held in place by one screw. Adjust this
shutter accordingly to allow more or less air
as required and then reinstall the burner.
15
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Stainless Steel
Many of the grill components are made with
non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel.
There are many different stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use the most
mild cleaning procedure first. Always
clean by scrubbing in the direction of the
grain. To touch up scratches, sand very
softly with dry 400-grit sand paper in the
direction of the grain. Specks of grease can
accumulate on stainless steel surfaces and
appear to be rust. To remove these spots,
use a “Scotch-Brite” pad and stainless steel
cleaner; this will remove most stains.
Remember to rub in the direction of the grain.
Grill Rack
It is easiest and best to clean your grill
immediately after cooking and turning off the
flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your
hand from heat and steam. Dip a brass
bristle brush in tap water and scrub the hot
grill. Steam assists the cleaning process by
softening any food particles that are stuck to
the rack. The food particles will fall and burn.
If you clean your grill after it cools, it will be
more difficult.
Grill Burners
Extreme care should be taken when moving
a burner, as it must be correctly re-centered
in its place before any attempt is made to
relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on how often you use the grill.
Grill Burner Cleaning
Ensure the gas supply is off and the knobs
are in the OFF position. Make sure the grill is
cool. Clean the exterior of the burner with a
wire brush. Clear stubborn stains with a
metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a
straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden
toothpick as it may break off and clog the
port. Please note if insects or other
obstructions are blocking the flow of gas
through the burner
Drip Tray Cleaning
The drip tray should be emptied and wiped
down periodically and washed in a mild
detergent and warm water solution. A small
amount of sand or cat litter may be placed in
bottom of drip tray to absorb grease. Check
the grease tray frequently; don’t allow excess
grease to accumulate and overflow out of the
drip tray.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE- continued
HOW TO REPLACE THE M AIN BURNER
1. Remove the burner by removing the one hold down screw and lifting burner out.
2. Examine the open end of the new burner. There is a shutter around the outside of the
open end held in place with one screw that controls the air used by the burner. Loosen
this screw and make the opening the same size as the burner removed. Then tighten the
screw.
3. Set new burner in place. Be sure that the open end of the burner is centered over the gas
orifice. The orifice should extend into the open end of the burner about 1/16” to 1/8”. This
can be viewed by looking under the control panel.
4. Secure the burner onto the firebox with the reinstallation of one screw.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Spiders and Insects
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the
burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby
damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately after any of the following conditions
occur:
1. If the burner flames appear yellow and you smell gas.
2. If the grill does not reach the correct temperature.
3. If the grill heats unevenly.
4. If the burners make popping noises.
Before calling for service, use the following checklist to identify your problem. This may save the cost of
a service call.

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
When I light the grill it does not
immediately ignite.
-- Make sure the gas is turned ON.
-- Make sure there is a spark while trying to ignite the burner.
-- Push in and hold for approximately 5 seconds before turning
the knob.
-- Make sure your burner is clean.
The regulator makes noise.
-- The vent hose on the regulator may be plugged, or the
regulator may be faulty.
-- Ensure the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. If
obstructed, clear the hole, and close the LP tank and gas
control valves. Wait ten minutes and re-start.
-- When turning on the LP tank valve, do not cover the vent hole
on the regulator.
-- Check the flames for proper performance; if the flames are
incorrect, replace the regulator.
The grill only heats to 200°F 300°F.
-- Ensure the temperature gauge is functioning properly. Hold a
flame to the probe or compare the grill gauge to an oven
thermometer placed in the grill.
-- Ensure correct start procedure. Prior to lighting the grill, the gas
control knobs should be OFF. The propane bottle should be
OFF. If not, wait 15 minutes. Turn the tank all completely ON.
Turn the left burner to ignite, wait 5 seconds, and ignite.
Repeat for additional burners.
-- Check all gas connections for leaks with a soap-water bubble
test. If leaks are found, replace the part or tighten the fitting.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A list of common problems and solutions is located on the proceeding pages.
18
The grill takes a long time to
preheat.
-- It normally takes about 10 minutes in order for your grill to
reach a pre-heating temperature of 480°F. Cold weather and
wind may effect your preheat time.
-- If you are using volcanic rock or briquettes, it can increase the
preheat time and maximum temperature. Remember that
briquettes should NOT be used on this appliance.
The burner flames are not light
blue.
-- There is too much or not enough air to fuel the flame.
-- Elevation is most commonly the cause of this problem; cold
weather is also a common cause. Burner adjustments may be
required. Please refer to the manual for adjustment
procedures.
-- The grill may be in too windy of a location.

GRILLING HINTS
The doneness of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large degree by the
thickness of the cut. Expert chefs say it is impossible to cook rare a thin cut of meat.
The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat, the size and shape of the cut, the temperature of
the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of doneness desired.
When defrosting meats, it is recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed
to a microwave. This in general yields a juicier cut of meat. Do not thaw at room temperature.
Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat, as a spatula will not puncture the meat
and the juices will be retained instead of running out.
To get the juiciest meat, season or add salt after the cooking is finished on each side and turn the
meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several times). Turn the meat just after the
juices begin to bubble to the surface.
Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. To prevent steaks or chops from curling during
cooking, slit the fat around the edges at 2-inch intervals.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
