LARGE CAPACITY LP TANKS
PAGE 11
ATTENTION:
If you have a Side Yard Propane Tank, you MUST have additional Medium
Pressure Regulator located at the Grill. If you do not serious bodily harm may result or damage to
the grill and island structure from HIGH Heat.
For this type of installation, it is most like NG gas installation method, only the
regulator is set for liquid propane. First you will install a gas pipe, coming into island
from outside, be sure the Safety Shut-Off valve is easily accessible.
Next, locate the gas manifold on grill, for this type of installation, the LP Regulator
Hose that comes with your LP Burner is not needed. Gas connections are made with
all 3/8" flare Compression Adapters, and UL Gas Hoses.
A LP REGULATOR is required for this type of installation, even if the LP Tank is
installed with one already. LP regulator for grill should be set for a minimum of
120,000 BTU's with Medium Pressure. This LP grill does not come with an
independent LP regulator for this type of installation. Contact the company you
purchased from, or your local plumber to locate one, that is made for commercial
style grills.
Large Capacity
LP
Tanks
Propane is delivered to your home as a very cold liquid and is pumped into a specially designed storage
tank which is either Above or Below Ground. The liquid changes to gas before leaving the tank. Propane
tanks are typically painted white or silver to reflect heat and
prevent the pressure inside the tank.
If you have a side yard LP tank, it will be either Above or
Below Ground.
The cover on top of the tank protects several
components from weather and physical damage.
The tank shut-off valve, which you can close to
stop the flow of propane to your home in case of
a leak or other emergency.
The regulator, which controls the pressure of the
propane gas coming out of the tank.
The safety relief valve, which will pop open
automatically if the pressure inside the tank gets
too high. The valve will close again when the
pressure returns to normal.
The tank gauge, which shows the percentage of
propane in the tank.
Above Ground Tank
Below Ground Tank
Medium Capacity LP Tank
The Type 1 connection system has the following features:
The system will not allow gas to flow
until a positive connection has been made. NOTE: The cylinder control valve must be turned off
before any connection is made or removed. The system has a thermal element that will shut off
the flow of gas in the event of a fire. The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated,
will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. NEVER use grill without leak testing.

7. It is normal to hear a popping sound
when the burners are turned off.
1. Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into
a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the
charcoal grate or pan. We recommend
using 2 pounds (approximately 30
briquettes) to start your fire, adding
more as needed. – CLOSE DRAWER -
4. Self-Starting Briquettes
If you don’t want to fool around with lighter fluid, there is one
more alternative—self-lighting charcoal briquettes. With
these, all you do is pile the briquettes on the grill, light them
with a match or butane lighter, and you have an almost instant
fire. Some grillers like to use these as starters, with a mixture
of regular briquettes. One thing to note, however: self-lighting
briquettes are not recommended for use with chimney starters.
3. Charcoal Chimney Lighter
A charcoal chimney starter is essentially a metal tube, usually
steel, with a handle on the side. Inside is a grate to hold the
briquettes and to keep them above the crumpled newspaper,
which goes in under the charcoal and is what starts the
briquettes. Ventilation holes line the bottom of the tube. The
goal is to start a charcoal fire without using lighter fluid or
other petroleum-based fuels. This is to avoid unpleasant taste
to the food, environmental regulations or for other reasons.
2. Electric Charcoal Lighter
Electric charcoal lighters look like an elongated outline of
a Ping-Pong paddle. That outline is the lighter element
loop that, when plugged in, glows like the heating
elements in a toaster.

CONJUNCTION WITH GAS BURNERS)
Serious Injury or Fire will result!

Zone Cooking
The Sunstone 30” Hybrid Grill has a single massive cooking zone controlled specifically by how the top
adjustable rack is positioned, and the front air intake slider is adjusted. Depending on how you
independently configure these components, will give you control over diverse types of cooking,
including Smoking, Indirect, Slow Cooking and Direct Cooking.
Heat Distribution
Knowing how to configure the different components will give you the very best possible food
positioning while grilling. Depending on how you position the Charcoal or Wood. The Cooking Rods
have Variable Spacing for different sized foods, and the upgradable Pro Sear Zone Grate will sear
your Steaks at over 800 Degrees depending on how hot the Charcoal or Wood is below. It is
important to play with many variations to find what way of grilling is best for you.
Grilling Combination
The Sunstone 30” Hybrid Grill is designed for an exquisite cooking experience with the use of three
separate grilling surfaces in one. This enables you to be simultaneously searing your food on one
side, while slow cooking or smoking on other side and slow simmer on top warming rack. The lower
drawer allows you to control how much either Charcoal or Wood materials you want to grill with also
use multiple types of mesquite wood for some amazing smoked flavors.
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source directly under your
food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking on the other
side of the grill. It is like cooking in an oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats but can
also be used for cooking foods that are prone to flare ups. Indirect Cooking will result in tender
foods every time you grill.
Direct Cooking
Direct cooking is the process of cooking your food directly over hot coals. This method is also
called Searing, Grilling or even Frying. Direct cooking is recommended for most grilling
applications, and the best place to perform Direct Cooking is in the place where the cooking
surface is the hottest. This type of cooking locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer
surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings are vaporized
by the coals. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
Smoker/Steamer Box
Adding a smoker box to your cooking experience adds unique flavor to your food, you will
come to enjoy. Use it for either a smoker box with wood chips, or by filling with Water it
becomes a steamer box. While in use, remember to close the hood. There are many
different wood chips available on the market, the most common are mesquite and hickory.
Just remember to soak the chips for 30 minutes prior, for best results.

Electrical Grounding Instructions:
The rotisserie motor is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electric shock. This
plug must be inserted directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.
The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Do not use an extension cord to supply power to your grill. Such use may result in fire, electrical shock or other
personal injury. Do not install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. A fuse in the neutral or ground circuit may result
in an electrical shock hazard. Do not ground this appliance to a gas supply pipe or hot water pipe.
1.
Insert Rotisserie Motor into Motor Bracket Assembly.
2. Slide Prong Forks with the prongs facing away from the handle into Spit Rod. So that any food item
will be in the center between the two four prong forks.
3. Assemble Key Washer, Counter-balance and handle to Spit Rod. Slide Shaft Collar with long end
towards handle.
4. Insert motor extension cord three prong plug into an adjacent grounded GFCI receptacle outlet.
5. Before placing food item on forks when the rotisserie is being operated exclusively, it is strongly
recommended that a pan be placed on the grilling grids, beneath the food to catch the meat
drippings. This will prevent excessive buildup of drippings on the grids and facilitate cleaning.
When food item is placed on rotisserie, be sure that all Bolts are tightened securely.
6. Preheat the grill by setting all the burners on high, once hot, turn off all but the rear burner. The
spit hangs over the center, so that the meat is not directly over the heat. Place a drip pan on the
grill below the meat. Add about 1/2 inch of water to the drip pan.
7. Place the first pair of prongs onto the spit, then push the meat onto the spit and into the
prongs. Add the other set of prongs and push them into the meat securely anchoring it onto
the spit. Tighten the wing nut that holds the prongs in place and attach the spit to the brackets
on either side of the rotisserie.
8. The rotisseries rod comes with a counter balance weight, adjust it as needed. Start the motor
and make sure the meat is balanced on the spit so that it turns evenly. You may need to adjust
the grate and drip pan if your meat is large. Make sure the meat can turn with no obstructions.
9. Close the lid while the rotisserie does its job. The rotation evenly melts the fat in the meat and
naturally bastes the meat, but you may wish to baste with a mop sauce occasionally during
grilling. Check the meat with a meat thermometer for doneness before turning off the heat.
When done, remove the spit using insulated oven mitts. Place the meat on a clean platter and
cover it with foil while it rests.

ROTISSERIE SETUP
PAGE 17
WARNING: Never stand with your head directly over the Grill when preparing to light the Rotisserie
burner, to prevent possible bodily injury. Never operate Rotisserie Burner with main (other) burner(s)
“ON”. Warming Rack must be removed when Rotisserie Burner is ON.
Rotisserie Cooking Tips
Rotisserie is mostly used to cook large piece of meat and poultry to assure slow, even cooking. The
constant turning provides a self-basting action, making food cooked on a rotisserie exceptionally moist
and juicy. Rotisserie cooking generally requires 1 ½ to 4½ hours to cook depending on the size and type
of meat being cooked. You can have rotisserie cooking with indirect heat or with infrared rotisserie
burner. Preferred by professional chefs over other methods, the intense heat is ideal for searing in the
natural juices and nutrients found in quality meat. For successful rotisserie, the meat should be
centered and balanced as evenly as possible on the spit rod to avoid overworking the rotisserie motor.
Your Grill is designed with High & Low Spit Rod positions, the Low position centers your meat in the
grills body, while the high position brings it closer to the back Infra-Red burner for High Heat Searing.
Also, you can place up to Two Rotisserie Rods and Motors Criss-Crossed as shown in the above example
for Setup of the Rotisserie Assembly.

Island Safety Vent Installation for either Liquid Propane or Natural Gas
Grill LP to NG Gas Conversion
This Gas Conversion requires the following parts (Included in Kit)
(1) #50 Drill Bit (1) NG Regulator
with 3/8” Flare Adapter
The following tools are recommended (Not Included in Kit)
Wrench Power Drill
For Natural Gas
Natural Gas (NG) is lighter and will raise to upper
end of structure upon leak. Outdoor Kitchen Islands
housing Natural Gas Appliance must have several
vents located at the approximate level as the
Appliance Control Panel, were Knobs are located.
For Propane Gas
Liquid Propane Gas (LP) is Heavier and will lower to
base of structure upon leak. Outdoor Kitchen Islands
housing Propane Gas Appliance must have several
vents located within 4" to 6" from ground level.
IMPORTANT!
The Best time to perform this conversion is before grill has been installed into island enclosure. As you
will need access Multiple parts of the Back Underside of Grill where Gas Line hooks up and two positions
of Flare Adapters. Accessing this location afterwards requires either removing the grill from island or
crawling underneath grill through an access door to reach back underside of grill.

Q. LED Light is not functioning while interior lights are ON
A. Likely your LED Light has malfunctioned due to the grill being overheated, or there may be a loose wire on
the internal control circuit board. You can access these components by sliding the grill out from your island
approx. 6 Inches, there are 4 screws on either side holding the front control panel to grill body, and 4 Alan
Wrench Screws on the inside facing towards front panel, you will see 4 Holes. Removing these screws will
allow the main control panel to be removed revealing the internal LED light and Circuit Board. You can then
easily unplug and replace LED light with new one or check for other loose connections.
Q. Either One or Both Interior Lights do not work but LED Light works
A. Most often the interior Halogen Lights will burn out one at a time, if both are out at the same time, you
could have a connection issue. Check the Plug in the back bottom Left of grill, the plug consists of two sockets
on either side, check to make sure each is securely pushed in. If all the Lights do not work, then it is either
unplugged or the Transformer has malfunctioned. Each Halogen light can be replaced by unscrewing a single
screw per light located on left sides of light cover, the entire light box needs to be removed, and there are two
small black wires hard-plugged into back of light. Use a pair of plyers to remove these, replacing to new
Halogen Light box, again use a pair of plyers to push each wire into each socket of light box, Test light is
working before inserting back into hole and again tightening the small screw on left outer side.
Q. The Gas Burners flame is very Low
A. If your grill is using a 25 Pound Portable tank and is directly connected to grill with no other appliance, you
may have a Spider Web or other clog in the gas Pipe. If your grill is connected to a Side Yard 500 Gallon Tank,
there may be an issue with the Regulator – either it is a Low-Pressure Regulator being used, or not enough gas
pressure is being allowed to the grill. If you have any T-Connections in gas line going to other outdoor
Appliances like a Fireplace or Side Burner, this can also greatly diminish gas flow.
