IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

_i WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read and

follow these basic precautions before operal_ng your gas grill or side burners.

1. Your unit should be properly installed and connected to the gas for which it
was designed. Do not use charcoal, wood chips, or other material in your

grill. The smoker tray is the only area designed to hold wood chips or
other smoke flavor enhancers.

2. Have the technician show you the location of the gas shut-off valve so you
can shut offthe gas supply in an emergency. Ifyou smell gas, the

connections are not properly sealed oryou may have a hole in the gas
supply pipe or hose. Determining where the gas leak isshould be left to a

qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized
service agency.

3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the gas
grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the

grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around the grill.
Never allow children to crawl inside the carl or masonry enclosure.

4. Use a covered hand when opening the hood and do so slowly to allow
heat and steam to escape. To avoid burns when cooking, use long

handled BBQ tools. Never lean over an open grill.

5. Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or potholders. Dish towels or other
substitutes can become entangled causing burns. Use dry potholders; wet

potholders create steam and cause burns. Keep potholders away from
open flames when lifting or moving utensils. Do not touch portions of the

grill rack or burner grate with potholders until the hot surfaces have cooled.

6. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials

may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
heat settings.

7. Select the correct pan sizefor the burner. Be sure the pan is large enough
to avoid boil-overs or spill-overs. This will both save cleaning, prevent

accumulations of food, heavy splattering or spill-overs that can catch fire.

8. Never leave the grill unattended. High flame and fatty meats will promote
flare ups.

9. This unit isfor outdoor use only! Do not operate in enclosed areas. This
could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would result in injury or

death.

10. When using the grill, do not touch the grill grates, open burner grates or
immediate surrounding areas. These surfaces become extremely hot and

could cause burns. Be sure all controls are turned off and the unit has
cooled before touching or cleaning any surfaces.

11. Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can upset

combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of
this can be melted knobs.

4

12. The handle of the utensilshould be positioned sothat itdoes not extend
over adjacent surfaceburnersor interferewith closing the canopy. Thiswill

minimizeburns, ignition of flammablematerialsand possiblespillage. Let
hot panscool in a safeplaceout of childreng reach.

13._, WARNING: Before lighting the burners inspectthe gas supply piping
or hose. Ifthere isevidence of cuts,wear,or abrasion,it must be replaced

prior to use. Always keepyour faceand body asfar awayfrom the grill as
possiblewhen lighting.

14. Never grillwithout the drip tray inplace. Make sure it ispushed allthe way
to the back in proper position to catch the drippings. Letthe greasecool

before attempting to remove for cleaning or disposal. Do not allow large

amounts of greaseto accumulate in the drip tray asthey cancatch on fire.

15. Beforestoring, make surethe gas grill iscool. The gasmust be turned off
at the supply tank,removed and stored outside in awell ventilated area

out of the reachof children.

16. Keep the rotisseriemotor cord awayfrom heated areasof the grill.

17. When cooking in windy conditions, provide a wind break. Locate the unit
with proper clearancefrom combustible surfaces.

18. Spidersand insectscannestin the burnersof the grill and block the gas
and airflow to the burner ports. Thismay causeafire from behind the

manifold cover. Inspectand cleanthe burners periodically.

19. Keep the ventilation openings atthe rearof the carl and cylinderenclosure
free and clearto allow proper flowof air. Do not obstruct the flowof

combustion and ventilation air.

20. Clothing fires are potential hazards. Do not wear longflowing sleeves
around the grill. They are easilycaughton pan handlesor ignited by

burnersand aregenerally inthe way. Highly flammable clothing, especially

syntheticfabrics,should not be worn while cooking.

21. Do not heatany unopened glassor metal containerson the grill. Pressure

may build-up and causethe containerto burst resultinginserious personal
harmor damage to the grill.

22. Do not move the appliance during its use.

23. Besureall controls areturned off and the grill iscool before usinganytype
of aerosolcleaner on or aroundthe grill. The chemical that produces the

spraying actioncould, inthe presenceof heat, ignite or causemetal paris
to corrode.

24. Do not remove the plasticcoveron the rotisseriemotor switchdue to

Ughting the Grill (E-SeriesModels)

To light the grill / smoker burners:

Make sure the unit is plugged into a properly grounded

receptacle. Turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any
position. This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch.

Burners will ignite at any "on" position with the automatic reignition

system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will
automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted

to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all
surface igniters you should hear a "clicking" sound. If you do not, turn

off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse
or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the

burner to be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner
control to any position to adjust the flame size.

To light the infrared rotisserie burner (T-Series and E-Series Models)

The location of the infrared burner makes it more susceptible to

strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill burners. For this
reason you should avoid using it during windy conditions. Open the hood.

Push in, turn the rotisserie control knob until the High position on the knob
aligns with the indicator line on the control panel and continue to hold the

knob in. Pressthe electronic ignition button which corresponds to the
rotisserie control knob. You will hear a clicking sound. After the burner lights,

hold the rotisserie control knob in for about 5 seconds longer or until the

burner remains lit. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting. If

the burner does not light within 4 seconds, release and turn the control knob
to "off". Wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. If the burner

does not light after several attempts, then the burner can be lit by holding a lit
match to the burner (with the control knob pushed in at the light position).

Push and turn the control knob until the High position on the knob aligns with

the indicator line on the control panel. Make sure you are turning the control

knob that corresponds with the burner being lit. If relighting a hot burner, wait
5 minutes. Never leave the rolJsserie control knob on if rotisserie is not in use.

Using the Grill

• Check to be certain the drip tray is in place.

• Light the grill burners using the lighting instructions.

•Turn the control knob to "HI" and preheat for 5 - 7 minutes.

• 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 High and Low.

•Allow grill to cool before cleaning. (Drip tray should be cleaned

after each use.)

Canopy Thermometer (If applicable)

Your outdoor grill is equipped with a thermometer on the

canopy. The thermometer is designed to aide in the preheating of

the grill and closed canopy grilling. The estimated cooking
temperatures with the canopy closed are:

WARM- 150°F (65°C)

COLD SMOKE- 150°F- 200°F

Grill Cooking tips

Grilling can be either an open or closed canopy process.

Open canopy grilling is excellent for foods requiring quick searing like
steaks, burgers, chops, and hot dogs. Closed canopy grilling is

similar to roasting in an oven. Food is cooked by heat reflection from

the cover as well as heat from the burners below.

• When grilling chicken, roasts, well done steaks or chops and thick pieces of
meat, sear on High. Then reduce the heat setting to prevent excessive flare-

up. This will allow the food to cook through without burning the outside.

• When grilling large pieces of meat, use a meat thermometer to insure that
meats are either rare, medium and well cooked.

• After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to sear for

approximately 1 minute, you may slide a spatula under the meat and turn it
approximately 9@ so that a waffle pattern will be seared onto the food.

• Use a metal spatula or tongs instead of a fork to turn the meat. A fork will
puncture the meat, allowing juices to escape.

• Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks, chops, or
hamburgers are turned several times. The best time to turn the meat is after

the juices have begun to bubble to the surface.

• To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat, not the

edge. This will prevent loss of juices.

• Occasionally there may be flare-upa or flames above the grill due to drops of

fat falling onto the flavor generator plates. It is normal to have some flare-up
during grilling. If necessary, use a long spatula to move food to another area

until the flames subside.

Using the Smoker Burner and Smoker Box

Using the smoker burner intensifies the flavor by adding

smoke to the grilling process. The additional smoke creates a
"cloud" around the food which permeates meats and vegetables

for added smoky flavor. In

order to use the smoker
box, remove the last set of

porcelain grids and flavor
generator plate on the

right hand side of the grill.
Set the smoker box in the

opening so that the front
and rear tabs rest on the

grill frame.

Using Wood Chips in
Smoker Box:

There are many

wood chips available and selection is based on personal taste. The

most common chips used are mesquite or hickory. Always soak the
chips in water prior to putting them into the box. Use the High

position to start the chips smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower
level to prevent them from drying out and flaming. If the wood

chips do flame up, add a small amount of water to extinguish the

flame. Use caution when adding water to a hot box to avoid steam

burns. This tray may also be filled with water to produce steam.

Whether smoking or steaming, the grill should remain closed as

much as possible to maximize the effect.

During extended roasting periods, it is normal to add fresh

wood chips and water to the box several times. Limit the amount

of times the canopy is opened. Each peek adds about 15 minutes

to the cooking time. _1_ CAUTION: Handle the smoker box with

care. The cover becomes extremely hot when being used. Use
sturdy, properly insulated gloves or do/potholders.

Using the Rotisserie

The rotisserie burner is an infrared burner which provides

intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by professional chefs over
other methods, this intense heat is great for searing in the natural

juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat. Once lit, the

rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.

The red glow will even out in about 5 minutes.

To install the rotisserie motor, align the drive shaft on the

motor with the gear box on the side of the grill. Tighten the thumb
screws on the motor into the mounting brackets on the grill frame.

The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the gear box assembly

by placing the pointed end into the gear box and resting the
rounded end on the wheels on the left side of the grill.

To load the skewer, slide one of the rotisserie forks (prongs

facing away from the end) onto the skewer. Push the skewer through
the center of the food, then slide the second rotisserie fork (prongs

toward the food) onto the skewer. Center the product to be cooked

on the skewer then push the forks firmly toward the food. Tighten

the wing nuts with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the food
with butcher's string to secure loose portions. NEVER use nylon or

plastic string. Once the food is secure, insert the skewer into the
motor. To turn on rotisserie motor, flip the ON/OFF switch located on

the rotisserie motor assembly.

If needed, remove the grill grates. Place the basting pan

beneath the food. Keep canopy closed while using the rotisserie.
Each peek acids about 15 minutes to the cooking time. A meat

thermometer should be used when cooking large pieces of meat to

ensure that the meats are rare, medium, and well cooked.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lastslonger when

maintained properly and kept clean. Grilling equipment isno exception. Your
grill must be kept cleanand maintained properly.

PorcelainGrates/Grill Burners

The porcelain grill grates may be cleaned immediately after

cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Wearing a
barbecue mitt to protect your hand from heat, use a soft bristle

barbecue brush to scrub the porcelain burner grid. Dip the brush

frequently in a bowl of water. Steam is created as the water contacts
the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning process by softening

the food particles. For thorough cleaning of the grates, allow grates
to cool, then soak 15 to 30 minutes in a hot water and detergent

solution. After soaking, scrub with a teflon scouring pad. DO NOT
USE a steel wool pad, abrasive cleaners or metal brush. They could

damage the porcelain finish.

Before removing the grates and burners, make sure the gas supply is
off and the knobs are in the "off" position. To disassemble the grill

for thorough cleaning, remove parts after they have cooled in the
following order:

1. Porcelain grill grates

2. Flavor generator plates

3. Stainless steel burners

4. Drip guards

Clean greasy parts with a household grease solvent such as
household ammonia and water. _, WARNING: Do not use

flammable cleaning materials. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner

inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a
metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened out. Shake out
any debris through the air shutter.

Burner Inlet

17

TruSearTM Infrared Grill Burner (If applicable)

When finished cooking, turn the control knob to the "HI"

setting and allow the burner to burn for Five Minutes. This helps to
eliminate any drippings or debris that would otherwise remain on the

burner, degrading the performance and reducing burner life. After

the five minute burn-off time, turn the grill OFF and allow to cool

completely before attempting to clean or move. Wipe excess grease
and food from grill surfaces.

NOTE: When the TruSearTM infraredburner isnot use, it must be coveredwith

the provided stainlesssteel coverfor protection from outside elementssuchas

rain.

Drip Tray

The drip tray pans should be

removed and cleaned after each use.

Allow the drippings in the the drip
tray pans to cool completely before

removing. To remove the drip tray

pans, simply remove the pans from
the tray. Place the trays in hot, soapy
water to clean. Wipe up any debris

that may have collected in the drip
tray with a hot, soapy towel. Dry and

replace drip tray pans before next

use.

•Do not use a metal knife or any other metal tool to scrape stainless
steel parts.

•Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel
surfaces, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel.

Special care is not required for the infrared rotisserie burner. It

is designed as a self-contained unit. Do not attempt to clean it. Its

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!!!

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners/venturi tubes of this

or any other 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.

When to look for spiders:

You should inspect the burners/venturi tubes at least once a

year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:

1. The smell of gas along with the burner flames appearing yellow.

2. The grill does not reach the proper temperatures.

3. The grill heats unevenly.

4. The burners makes a popping noise.

Guide

What to Check

Make sure the control knob is off. (No gas is on.)
Remove the grill rack and the flavor generator

plates. Watch the ignitor tip. You should see a
spark jump from the tip of the ignitor when the

button is pressed. Do the other burners work?
Make sure the ignitor tip is clean and free from
debris. Check battery to electronic ignition.

Check the burner inlet for
obstructions. Check the air shutter for

proper adjustment.

Is the fuel hose bent or kinked?

Is there adequate gas supply available? If it is only
one burner that appears low, does the orifice or
burner need cleaning? Are any other gas

appliances at the location below normal rate? Is
the air shutter too far open or closed? Is the gas

supply or gas pressure low?

Is there a spark at the
thermocouple? Can you match light the burner?

Is the thermocouple kinked or
bent away from the burner?

Readjust to lay flat against burner. Is the safety
valve button being depressed long enough? Hold

button in until burner remains lit. Check for black
spots on the infrared screen.
