Question:
Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another
in
other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?
Answer:
No, your
gas
grill is manufactured
to exact specifications
and is certified
for LPG (Liquid
Propane
Gas)
use only.
For your
safety,
conversion
kits are not available,
nor will
we sell or otherwise
provide
parts
or information
to be
used to convert
your grill. Any attempt
to convert
your grill
is dangerous
and will void your
warranty.
Question:
Are the serial
and model
numbers
of my grill
listed
somewhere
for reference?
Answer:
The
serial
and model
numbers
are listed
on a silver
CSA
label placed
on the grill. Depending
on the grill
model
the silver CSA
label will be located
on the left or
right
side bowl
panel
underneath
the side shelf,
underneath
the right
side of the control
panel,
outside
left or right of control
panel or on the back
of the grill
cabinet.
Question:
My grill will not light
properly.
Why?
Answer:
Always
light the Main Burner
farthest
from
the fuel
source
first. This
will draw
gas
across
the manifold
helping
prevent
air pockets
which
obstruct
gas-flow
and
prevent
proper
grill lighting.
Also
try this procedure:
1. Turn gas off at source
and turn Control
Knobs
OFF.
Wait at least 5 minutes
for gas to clear, then
retry.
2.
If your
grill still fails to light, turn the Burner
Control
Knob(s)
and gas source
OFF and conduct
a leak test
of
ALL
gas connections
and gas sources
as
explained
in the Use and Care
section
of this manual.
3.
If no leaks are detected,
wait 5 minutes
for any gas to
clear
and repeat
the lighting
procedure.
Question:
If my ignitor
or battey
is not working
how can I light
my grill manually?
And
- Why would
I need the silver
lighting
stick
that hangs
from
the side of my grill?
Answer:
If your
ignition
fails to work or your
battery
needs
replacing,
you can light the match
and place it over the
top opening
of the Lighting
Tube.
Never remove
the
Cooking
Grids or Heat Diffuser
and attempt
to light
the grill from above.
To light your gas grill manually,
follow
the Guide
Grill Lighting
instructions.
Then
light
the match
and place it over the top opening
of the
Lighting
Tube.
Turn
the nearest
main
Burner
Control
Knob to the Hi setting
to release
gas. The Burner
should
light
immediately.
Never
lean
over
the
grill
cooking
area
while
lighting
your
gas
grill.
Keep
your
face
and
body
a safe
distance
(at
least
18 inches)
from
the
front
of grill when
lighting
your
grill by
match.

Question:
Sometimes
I hear a humming
sound
coming
from my
regulator.
What
causes
this? And - My grill has a low
flame
and sometimes
will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming
sound
is gas flowing
through
the
regulator.
A low volume
of sound
is normal
and will not
interfere
with the operation
of your
grill. Loud
or
excessive
regulator
humming
and/or
low flow
and
intermittent
lighting
may be caused
by the regulator's
excess
gas flow
device.
Opening
the tank
valve all the
way or too quickly
is what triggers
the regulator's
safety
device
to restrict
gas flow,
preventing
excess
gas flow to
your
grill. Lighting
the main
Burner
farthest
from the fuel
source
every time will help eliminate
air pockets
in the
manifold.
Note: This
procedure
should
be done
every
time a new LP Gas tank
is connected
to your
grill.
[]
Turn
all Control
Knobs
to the OFF position.
[]
Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.
For Natural
Gas shut off NG valve.
[]
[]
[]
Disconnect

from
LP Gas tank.
For Natural
Gas disconnect
regulator
from
12 ft.
Natural
Gas
Hose.
Let unit stand
for 5 minutes.
Reconnect
regulator
to the LP Gas tank.
For Natural
Gas reconnect
regulator
to 12 ft.
Natural
Gas
Hose.
[]
Open grill Lid (or Side Burner
Lid if you are lighting
the Side Burner).
[]
Turn the tank valve slowly 1/4 of one turn.
For Natural
Gas open
Shut
Off valve.
[]
Light
main
Burner
farthest
from
fuel source.
[]
Turn the tank valve slowly one more % of one turn
for ½ of one complete
turn.
[]
Continue
to light Burners
moving
towards
the fuel
source.
[]
Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn on
LPG
models.
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.
[]
In windy
conditions,
always
position
the front of
grill to face
oncoming
wind
to reduce
smoke
and
heat
blowing
in your face
and prevent
potential
hazards
to self and grill.
[]
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,
fences
and
(overhangs)
or sources
of ignition
including
pilot
lights
on water
heaters
and live electrical
appliances.
[]
Never
use
your
gas grill in a garage,
