  • Page 6: Gas Requirements

    Gas conversion kits are available from your dealer or ProFire. When ordering have available the model number, and type of gas (L.P. or Natural) which you need the ProFire grill orificed for. To convert to LP gas the model # will be GCKLP followed by the model # of your grill. To convert to Natural gas the model # will be GCKNAT followed by the model number of your grill.
  • Page 7: Natural Gas Hook-Up

    Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the line is too small the ProFire gas grill will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistant to actions of L.P.
  • Page 8 Use only the type regulator and hose specified by ProFire. Only 20 lb. cylinders equipped with an OPD (Overfill Protection Device) should be used with your ProFire grill. Only one propane cylinder may be located in an enclosure or cart. Extra spare cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and outside of any building, garage or other enclosed area.
  • Page 9: Location Requirements

    Insulated Sleeve If the ProFire gas grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure an approved insulated sleeve is necessary and is available from your dealer. Use only the ProFire insulated sleeve which has been designed and tested for this purpose.

  • Page 11: Leak Testing

    Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. Although all gas connections on the ProFire grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possi- ble mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
  • Page 12: Adjusting For Proper Flame

    ADJUSTING FOR PROPER FLAME AND EFFICIENCY Each burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. However, variations in the local gas supply or conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the grill burners should be visually checked.
  • Page 13: Installation Check-List

    INSTALLATION CHECK LIST NOTE TO THE INSTALLER: BE SURE ALL ITEMS ON THIS LIST HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY COMPLETED AND CHECKED BEFORE OPERATING THE GRILL. _____ Specified clearances maintained to combustibles. _____ If grill is installed in an island, ventilation openings are provided in island. _____ All internal packaging removed.
  • Page 14 Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas on. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. The replacement pressure regulators and hose assem- bly must be the type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the ProFire gas grill if the odor of gas is present.
  • Page 15 HOW TO LIGHT YOUR GAS GRILL LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNERS DANGER: Failure to open the lid while igniting the grill, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the grill does not light, may result in an explosive flare-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
  • Page 16: Using Your Profire Gas Grill

    DUAL PURPOSE THERMOMETER All ProFire grills come equipped with a dual purpose thermometer which may be left in place to read the air tempera- ture inside of the closed lid or it can be removed and inserted into the meat that you are grilling.
  • Page 17 USING YOUR PROFIRE GAS GRILL FLAVOR GRID An exclusive feature of the ProFire gas grill is its stainless steel flavor grid designed to deflect the grease from falling into the burners thereby preventing flare-ups and extending the life of the burners. The perfora- tions in the stainless steel evens out the heat and creates a hot surface for the meat drippings to fall on to.
  • Page 18 Once the food is secure insert the skewer into the motor. If needed, remove the grill racks. Place a basting pan under the food. It is normal for the skewer to flex when large cuts of meats are being cooked. However, the ProFire system will accommodate most cuts of meat without needing to remove the cooking grids.
  • Page 19 CARE AND MAINENANCE STAINLESS STEEL The ProFire gas grill is made from non-rusting, non-magnetic, type 304 stainless steel. There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning methods first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper or scotch bright pad in the direction of the grain.
  • Page 20: Side Burners

    CARE AND MAINTENANCE SIDE BURNERS The side burners are constructed of cast iron with a high heat black coating. Occasional cleaning of the burner ports will be necessary. (See page 11, 16) The burners can be repainted using high heat paint.
