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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

Page 16
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.

Page 18
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.
Wipe up any spills immediately.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive cloths on stainless steel, painted parts or brass parts.
•Do not use brass cleaners on the brass option parts. They are coated with an epoxy coating.

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.
