Question:
Where
do
I use
my grill
for
safer
operation
and
better
performance?
Answer:
Strong
winds
and
low temperatures
can affect
the
heating
and performance
of your
gas grill
so factor
in these
elements
when
positioning
your
grill
outdoors
for cooking.
Use your
grill
at least
3 feet away
from
any
wall
or
surface.
Use your
grill at least
3 feet
away
from
combustible
objects
that
can melt
or catch
fire
(such
as vinyl
or
wood
siding,
fence
and
overhangs)
or sources
of
ignition
including
pilot
lights
on water
heaters
and
live
electrical
appliances.
Never
use your
gas
grill
in a garage,
porch,
shed,
breezeway
or any
other
enclosed
area.
Never
obstruct
the flow
of ventilation
air around
your
gas grill
housing.
Question:
The
regulator
and
hose
supplied
with
my gas
grill
does
not fit
the
older
LP Gas Tank
I've
used
for
years,
Why
not?
Answer:
The
U.S.
Government
regulates
gas appliances
and
LP gas tanks.
When
regulations
are changed
the LP gas tank
fittings
are
altered
to insure
compliance.
If your
LP gas tank
does
not fit the
regulator
and hose
assembly
supplied
with
your
new
grill,
then
the tank
is outdated
and
must
be
replaced.
Note:
Effective
April
1, :_002
all LP gas
tanks
sold
must
include
an "OPD"
Overfill
Prevention
Device.
The OPD tanks
are identified
by
their
triangular-shaped
valve
wheel.
This
internal
device
prevents
the
LP gas tank
from
being
overfilled.
Tanks
without
an OPD valve
can
no
longer
be refilled.
Question:
Can
I clean
parts
of my grill,
such
as the
cooking
grates
and
heat
diffusers,
in a
self-cleaning
oven?
Answer:
No. You
should
not clean
any
part
of your

in a
self-cleaning

Question:
What
can
I do to keep
my cast
iron
grates
from
rusting?
Answer:
Cast
iron grates
do require
special
care.
We
recommend
you
first
season
new
grates.
Wash
new
grates
with
dishwashing
liquid,
rinse,
and dry
completely
with
a soft
cloth.
Never
wash
them
in a
dishwasher.
We recommend
you
use a solid
vegetable
shortening
over
the grates
to season
them
the first
time.
Spread
a thin
coating
with
a
paper
towel
over
the
entire
surface,
corners,
and
edges.
Preheat
your
grill
to 500
degrees.
Turn
half
your
burners
to "LOW"
and
half "OFF",
and
place
grates
in the firebox
for
about
an hour.
Shut
off all
burners
and
allow
the grates
to cool.
We
recommend
you
coat
the grates
with
a liquid
vegetable
oil before
each
use.
We do not suggest
spray
type
oils
unless
they
are specified
for
high
temperature
cooking.
Question:
Is it safe to clean
my porcelain
coated
cooking
grates
in the dishwasher?
Answer:
No. You should
not clean any grill parts in your
dishwasher.
We recommend
you clean all parts of
your grill, including
the cooking
grates,
by hand.
