Model/Part Number RON30a – RONWG30 RON38a – RONWG38 RON42a – RONWG42 BEFORE AFTER Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the barbecue and cylinder. This is required for proper combustion and to prevent gas build up. Firm Level Surface: Use your barbecue only on a firm level surface. This barbecue is not designed for recreational vehicles, and shall not be installed on a boat or any marine craft.
Clean grease tray often so that grease does not accumulate and stay in it which may cause a fire. Do not operate the grill in a windy area. For windy areas we recommend the RCS Wind Guard. (see page 5-6) Do not obstruct the flow of air into the front of the grill or any vent areas.

Leak Testing NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service. All leaks must be corrected immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one, make sure all control valves are in the “off” position. With the LP regulator connected to tank and grill and the grill knobs turned to OFF.
If flame is lifting, remove the front panel to access the burner front (air shutter) then turn the air shutter clockwise reducing this intake. The screw should be loosened before turning the air shutter. If the flame has more yellow than blue, the air shutter should be turned counter clockwise allowing more air in.
Operation DO NOT LEAVE YOUR GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE IN OPERATION. Grill: Grill burners are controlled individually with control knobs. After lighting, turn the knob to HI, LO or in between as desired. Turn on as many burners as required. The top cover may be closed during grilling.
Remember-your heat indicator is just that, an INDICATOR not an actual thermometer. ALSO-the temperature at the cooking surface is significantly higher than what the heat indicator shows in the lid. Your RCS grill has been designed and manufactured to provide optimum cooking temperatures across a wide range of foods, without “cooking itself to death!”...
Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning: Your Bar-B-Q grill works better and lasts longer if properly cleaned and maintained. Clean the grill after each use. Turn grill off before starting to clean. Protect your hand with a good mitt when cleaning the hot grill. Use a wire brush, dip in water and scrub the cooking grids to soften and loosen food spills.
