Fully Assembled Caution: Use only the regulator provided! If a replacement is necessary, please call our customer service department, 912- 638-4724. Do NOT use replacement parts that are not intended for this grill. Hint: The paper label that is affixed to the hood is more easily removed when the hood is warm.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Setting Up Set grill up on solid, flat surface with adequate wind shelter. Keep grill at least 0.5m from nearest wall. Protect LP cylinder from direct sunlight and keep away from heat sources (max. 122° F ). Do not move grill while hot, and do not leave unattended during operation.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Grill This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas or LPG mixtures, fitted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured to the regu- lator and the appliance with hose clips.
Lighting Instructions Always open hood while igniting grill. If grill does not light, always wait 5 minutes for gas to clear before relighting. Failure to do either may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death. Once lit, but before cooking on grill for first time, let grill sit for 15 minutes with hood closed.
Page 38
Lighting Burner with a Match 1. Push in and rotate knob to HIGH position 2. Place match in match holder installed on side of grill housing. Once lit, place flame through cooking grates near burner ports, as shown. Burner should light immediately.
Page 39
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in an upright position and out of the reach of children. The cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 121° F. Do not store the cylinder near flames, pilot lights or other sources of ignition. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR A GAS CYLINDER. Again, this appliance is designed for use outdoors, away from any flammable materials.
CLEANING AND CARE CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done while grill is completely cool and with gas cylinder valve completely closed. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish. Recommended Cleaning Materials •...
• Ashes left in bottom of CHARCOAL GRILL for too long hold moisture and may cause rust if not cleaned out. • GRILL is made of steel and cast iron, which WILL rust, especially without proper care. • Do not use self-starting charcoal, as it gives off an unnatural flavor. Burn lighter fluid off completely before cooking.
