L.P. GAS INSTALLATION Sonoma Gas Grills are set to operate with L.P. gas and come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure regulator and hose assemblies specified by Sonoma).
Pre Operation Leak Testing GENERAL INFORMATION Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be per- formed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Lighting the Grill Do not attempt to “Light” the grill if the odor of gas is present!! BEFORE LIGHTING Important! Before Lighting... Check the gas supply line for cuts, wear or abrasion. Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as Fig.
Using the Grill GRILL LOCATION Do not use the grill in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area. Never operate the grill in enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup, which could result in injury or death.

Using the Rotisserie & Side Burners The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods, this intense heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.
Using the Rotisserie & Side Burners ROTISSERIE LIGHTING Open the lid. Push and turn the control knob for the rotisserie counter clockwise to the “HIGH” position. Wait 5 seconds. Then press and hold the electronic igniter button. You’ll hear a snapping sound. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before try- ing again.
Care and Maintenance DRIP TRAY The drip tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris. NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean. Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered.
