Read this Care and Use Manual carefully and completely before using your grill to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other bodily injury. Begin by ensuring proper assembly. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual.

Always inspect the gas hose(s) before each use. If the hose shows evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut; it must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Any replacement must be that specified by the manufacturer. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition. “Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tanks pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure.

GENERAL Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

TO MATCH LIGHT THE OPTIONAL SEAR BURNER: If you are unable to light Sear Burner using the “TURN AND CLICK” you can utilize a long match to match light the sear burner. Fit the match between the wire loops. Position the lit LONG match down between the cooking grill rack approximately 1/4” above the burner. Turn the Valve to the lite/hi position to release gas to the burner.
BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT: FIG.01 Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the facto- ry prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners should be visually checked and com- pared with Figure 01.
Page 14
NOTE: THIS ADJUSTMENT SHOULD BE DONE WHEN CONVERTING TO NATURAL IF LP GAS AS WELL AS UPON FIRST USE. LOW SETTING ADJUSTMENTS: The valves on the Professional Grill features an Adjustable low setting. Due to fluctuations in gas pres- sure, heating value or gas conversion, you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in the low position.
Each main burner is rated at 14,000 BTU. The grill burners encompass the entire cooking area. Above the burners are stainless steel briquette systems. The igniter button is built into the valves. NOTE: A hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat, the faster the meat browns and the darker the grill marks.
The Optional Sear Burner on all grills makes for a perfect grilling combination. We have also incorporated "zone grilling" into our line of OCI Grills. Each of our burner areas is sectioned off by a “heat separator” to provide the most efficient heat use of any grill on the market today. These removable stainless steel heat shields direct the heat upwards to the cooking surface and not outwards across the grill.

Your Grill is capable of performing back burner Rotisserie cooking. The location of the rear burner allows the placement of a Rotisserie basting pan (not included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are especially good with the addition of pineapple slices and brown sugar to the basting pan.
