cylinder valve. For a Standard POL Regulator turn the coupling nut counterclockwise (right
to left) and tighten to a full stop. For the Quick Disconnect Regulator turn the coupling nut
clockwise (left to right) and tighten to a full stop.
In the connection process, the regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the cylinder
valve resulting in a slight resistance. The connection requires about a 1/2 to 3/4 additional turn
to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools. If you cannot make the
connection, disconnect the regulator and repeat steps 4 and 5.
If the unit is not in use, gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder. Inspect hoses before
each use of the unit. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut,
it must be replaced prior to the unit being put into operation. Regulator and hose assembly
can be purchased from Evo by calling 866-626-1802 or from a local gas supply company.
Specications for these parts are:
• LP Regulator: 90 degree w/ 3/8” Female SAE Inlet
• LP Hose: 60” Type #1 Low Pressure
Use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your Evo cooktop.
Recommended LP propane cylinder is a standard 5 gallon, 20 Lb., with a shutoff
valve terminating in a cylinder valve outlet specied and an (OPD) overow

EVO AFFINITY 30G TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Inner Burner and Inner Control Knob - The Inner Burner is a 10” diameter gas red burner operating
at 24,000BTU’s. This burner is controlled by the Inner or center-most control knob. Temperatures are
adjustable from 225F° to 550F°. Starting at the Off position, the Inner Control Knob rotates 180-degrees
counterclockwise through three positions.
Outer Burner and Outer Control Knob - The Outer Burner is a 20” diameter gas red burner operating
at 24,000BTU’s. This burner is controlled by the Outer or outer-most control knob. Temperatures are
adjustable from 225°F to 550°F. Starting at the Off position, the Outer Control Knob rotates 180-degrees
counterclockwise through three positions.
Either the Inner or the Outer burners may be used independently to support a wide range of cooking
techniques. Operating only the Inner burner provides direct temperature under the center of the cook
surface, with indirect heat at the outside edge that is useful for holding pre and post cooking processes.
Conversely only the Outer burner can be used for cooking foods that may be displayed around the
outside radius of the grill. Finally, both burners can be used together for maximum surface temperature
and cooking versatility.
Because the burners are enclosed within a circular chassis and all heat is directed upward at the cook
surface, cook surface temperature recovery is nearly immediate, providing a wide range of surface
temperature adjustment and control.

The Afnity grill has removable waste pans concealed in doors on both the right and left side of the front control panel.
It is very important to monitor the level of spillover in the trays, and immediately empty when they are near full or after
each use.
Opening Spillover Tray Doors - To open a door, grasp the door at its bottom and pull forward.
Do not operate cook top or clean drip pan into spillover slots without waste pans installed in
spillover doors. Failure to install waste pan will result in cooking grease contamination to the
underside of door. This requires immediate cleaning.
Do not allow spillover liquids or debris down spillover slots when doors are open. Any liquids or
debris that may fall into this area when doors are open should be immediately wiped with a dry
cloth, and keep this area clean at all times.
Do not allow the spillover trays to overow, and do not allow full trays to splash over edge when
cleaning. Spillover debris and liquids can be hot and cause burns, and/or damage to the internal
operation of the grill.

Regular cleaning and care for your Evo Afnity 30G cooktop will keep it looking and functioning its best.
The cook surface is designed to hold a ne layer of cooking oil creating a ‘seasoning’ on its surface. This
seasoning promotes a non-stick cooking surface and is easily maintained.
Caring for Evo’s cook surface is much like maintaining cast iron cookware. When the surface requires cleaning,
there are a few basic cleaning techniques to use. For quick and routine cleaning between preparations, a metal
spatula or scraper works for removing the majority of surface debris. For tougher areas or where sugars glaze
the cook surface, pour a small amount of warm water on the soiled surface while the grill is warm and scrape the
debris away with a spatula. Heat the cook surface to a high temperature and allow the sticky debris to become
brittle. Once the debris is brittle, use the spatula or scraper to remove it. Afterwards wipe the cook surface with
vegetable oil again before cooking.
To condition the Evo cook surface you should use the grill cleaning kit supplied with your grill. The grill cleaning kit
contains a blue grill pad handle, grill cleaning screens, and grill grey polishing pads. Use the polishing pad after
the grill cleaning pads to achieve a smooth cooking surface for the most delicate foods and applications.
To use a grill cleaning screen: With a warm cook surface, place one gray polishing pad between the grill handle
base and the grill screen, so the grill screen makes direct contact with the cooking surface. Pour a small amount
of vegetable oil on the cook surface and scrub the surface in a circular motion. The gray polishing pad allows
excess oil to be absorbed and scours the cooking surface of carbonized debris. When nished scrubbing, wipe
the surface down with a paper towel or cotton terry cloth.
The drip pan located just below the cook surface is designed to catch food debris and drippings from the cook
surface. We recommend cleaning the drip pan after your grill has cooled to prevent the possibility of touching
hot adjoining surfaces. The drip pan is easy to wipe out with soap and water using a kitchen sponge. For added
convenience, two removable stainless ninth-pans are mounted inside retractable drawers at right and left side of
the front control panel for collecting drip pan debris and spill overs. These spillover trays can be easily washed by
hand or in a dishwasher. Be sure to empty the spillover trays after every use, and at a minimum, whenever they
appear half full.
All the stainless steel components on your grill can be easily polished using a stainless steel cleaner/polish.
Stainless steel cleaner can be purchased from the Evo web site along with replacement grill cleaning and polishing
pads. The Evo web site address is: www.evoamerica.com.
