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.
Use your grill at least 2 feet away from any wall
or surface.
Use your grill at least 2 feet away from
combustible objects that can melt or catch fire
(such as vinyl or wood siding, fence and
overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot
lights on water heaters and live electrical
appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your gas grill housing.
Question:
The Regulator and Hose supplied with my
gas grill does not fit the older LP Gas Tank
I've used for years. Why not?
Answer:
The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances
and LP gas tanks. When regulations are changed
the LP gas tank fittings are altered to insure
compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the
regulator and hose assembly supplied with your
new grill, then the tank is outdated and must be
replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002 all LP gas
tanks sold must include an "OPD" Overfill
Prevention Device. The OPD tanks are identified
by their triangular-shaped valve wheel. This
internal device prevents the LP gas tank from
being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve can
no longer be refilled.
Question:
can I clean parts of my grill, such as the
cooking grates and heat tents, in a
self-cleaning oven?
Answer:
No. You should not clean any part of your grill in
a self-cleaning oven.
Question:
What can I do to keep my cast iron grates
from rusting?
Answer:
Cast iron grates do require special care. We
recommend you first season new grates. Wash
new grates with dishwashing liquid, rinse, and dry
completely with a soft cloth. Never wash them in a
dishwasher. We recommend you use a solid
vegetable shortening over the grates to season
them the first time. Spread a thin coating with a
paper towel over the entire surface, corners, and
edges. Preheat your grill to 500 degrees. Turn half
your burners to "LOW" and half "OFF", and place
grates in the firebox for about an hour. Shut off all
burners and allow the grates to cool. We
recommend you coat the grates with a liquid
vegetable oil before each use. We do not suggest
spray type oils unless they are specified for high
temperature cooking.
Question:
Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated
cooking grates in the dishwasher?
Answer:
No. You should not clean any grill parts in your
Dishwasher. We recommend you clean all parts of
your grill, including the cooking grates, by hand.
