Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Install only the type of dust cap on cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane. DANGER To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak: Always perform the “leak test“as below before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well‐ventilated area. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks. Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for gas appliance service or your local propane gas supplier. Checking for Leaks Make 2‐3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water. Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position. Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection. (See diagram to right.) Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure. If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Proceed to step 6. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect. Make sure the connection is secured. Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder. Lighting Your Grill DANGER Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not light, may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death. WARNING Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury. WARNING Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance. Lighting Main Burner 1. Open lid while lighting burners. 2. Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position. 3. Turn on gas source or cylinder valve. 4.
Page 13
4. Adjust burners to the desired cooking temperature. PRECAUTIONS: 1. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit. 2. If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF”. Open lid to let the gas clear for at least 5 minutes before re‐lighting. 3. Before cooking on the grill for the first time and operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas turned on “HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and painted finish. 4. Clean the grill after each use. DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts of the grill and cause a fire. Lighting Side Burner 1. Open lid while lighting the burner. Lid must remain open while burner is lit. 2. Valve must be in the “OFF” position. 3. Open cylinder valve. 4. Push side burner knob fully and rotate it slowly about 1/4 turn counterclockwise, and then press the igniter promptly. The burner should light. If the burner does not light, turn the knob to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure. 5. Adjust valve knob to the desired cooking temperature Using the Lighting Stick to Light the Side Burner 1. Open lid while lighting the burner. Lid must remain open while burner is lit 2. Remove the lighting stick then insert a match into the end of lighting stick. 3. Once lit, place the flame to reach the burner ports. (See diagram to right.) 4.
Flare‐Ups “Flare‐ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some flaring is normal and desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare‐ups is necessary, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire. WARNING Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down to LOW or OFF if flare‐ups intensify. Shutting Off Burners 1. Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, and then press and turn it to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob without pressing it. This could damage the valve. 2. Promptly turn the gas supply to the “OFF” position at the propane cylinder. 3. Close the lid of the grill. Excess flow safety valve reset procedure ● The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However, unsafe practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak. ● A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve. ● This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a Natural Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank". ● To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully performed, please carefully follow these instructions: 1. Close the LP tank valve. 2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position. 3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank. 4. Open the lid of the grill. 5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH. 6. Wait at least 1 minute. 7.
Care and Maintenance IMPORTANT Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation. CAUTION All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self‐cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish. Cleaning Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up. Clean the grill before and after cooking is recommended. Recommended cleaning materials Mild dishwashing liquid detergent Hot water Nylon cleaning pad ...
