Essential Information - Igloo IGW 400 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Please read all instructions before using your grill.
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL (also see installation)
Perform a leak test before each use. This is the only safe and sure way to detect any gas leaking from joints
and connections of the grill after assembly. Follow the LEAK TEST INSTRUCTIONS. Check that the gas
hose to ensure it is free of any tension, twisting, cuts, or cracks.
Make sure your grill is in a safe place. It must be outdoors, on level ground and not below ground level.
Ensure that the grill is least 24 inches (61cm) away from any flammable materials, including trees and fences
and that there are no heat sources near the grill (cigarettes, open flames, spark etc.)
Check that you have the correct gas cylinder and regulator for your grill (see recommendations in the Gas
and Regulator and Hose section of this manual).
Check and clean burner/venture tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath
the grill.
GETTING STARTED (also see operation)
Main Burner: Open the hood of your grill. Never light your grill with the hood closed. Turn the gas cylinder
valve to the 'ON' position. Push the center control knobs in on the burner you wish to light and turn it to the
high position. Fully depress the igniter button for 4 to 5 seconds to light the burner. Light all other burners
form left to right, making sure each burner is lit before lighting the next. IF ANY BURNER FAILS TO
LIGHT, TURN OFF THE GAS AT BURNERS AND THE CYLINDER, WAIT 5 MINUTES AND TRY
AGAIN. If the burners cannot be lit using the ignition system, turn to the manual lighting instructions under
important information. Once the burners are lit, turn all the main burners to the high setting for 3-5 minutes
to pre-heat the grill. This should be done before each session. Pre-heat grill with hood of the grill closed.
When pre-heating is complete, cooking can begin taking extra care if the burners are used in the high
position.
When cooking for the first time, cure the Cooking Grids (13) by applying cooking or vegetable oil to the
Cooking Grids (13). After lighting the grill, let the Cooking Grids (13) cure for 30 minutes under low heat.
The Cooking Grids (13) should now be seasoned and ready for use.
To prevent food from sticking, we recommend that you use a long handled brush to apply a light coat of
cooking oil to the cooking grids before each grilling session.
If a fat fire should occur during cooking, and if safe to do so, turn off the burners and the gas at the cylinder
and wait for the fire to go out. Do not pull out the drip tray or douse with water.
Never douse a grill with water.
Never move a grill when lit.
Never leave a lit grill unattended.
Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
Keep children, animals, and elderly people a safe distance from a lit grill.
