using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.

2. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the

Gas Valve Orifice.

3. Check and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects

and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire

beneath the grill.

4. Refer to the figure below and perform one of

these 3 cleaning methods:

[] METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat

hanger into a small hook as shown and run

the hook through the Burner Tube and inside

the Burner several times to remove debris.

[] METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible

handle and run the brush through the Burner

Tube and inside the Burner several times to

remove any debris.

[] METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air

through each Burner Tube. The forced air

should pass debris or obstructions through the

Burner and out the Ports.

For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assem-

bly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using

your grill. See figure. If the Orifice is not inside

the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause

explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily

injury and/or property damage.

PRE-ASSEMBLY

Read and perform the following pre-assembly

instructions:

[] Tools Required for Assembly include:

• protective work gloves

• protective eyewear

• #3 Phillips Head Screwdriver (included in

hardware pack in Parts Box)

[] You will need assistance from another person to handle

the grill head and other large, heavy parts.

[] Open Lid of shipping carton and remove parts box

and packing materials. Lay cardboard sheet on floor

and use as a work surface to protect floor and grill

parts from scratches.

[] You may slice the carton front corners with a utility

knife to lay open the carton front panel. This allows

you to raise the grill head Lid and remove the

components packed inside, making it easier to lift.

Use the sliced off carton front as a work surface to

protect floor and grill parts from scratches.

[] Use the Hardware and Part Diagrams to ensure all

items are included and free of damage.

[] Do not assemble or operate the grill if it appears

damaged. If there are damaged or missing parts

[] If no spark is seen, the Spark Gap

needs to be adjusted as follows:

• Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the

inside Nut until the Gas Collector Box can

be turned upward.

• If the gap between the Spark Elec-

trode Tip and Receiver is more than

3/16" use long nose pliers to gently

squeeze the Gas Collector Box to

narrow gap.

• Return the Gas Collector Box to its

original position, secure the inside Nut

and try the Electrode Check again. If no

"clicking" sound is heard:

• AA Battery may be installed backwards.

• Electric wires may be loose. Remove

theAA Battery and inspect the Ignitor

Junction Box found behind the Control

Panel and reconnect any loose wires.

Side Burner Electrode Check

[] Open side burner lid. Remove plastic

shipping band from burner and pot

When you have finished assembling your

grill be sure that all screws are tightened

for safe operation of your grill.

Failure to read and follow the Use and Care

Instructions could result in a fire or explosion

that could cause serious bodily injury, death or

property damage.

CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE

[] LP Gas grill models are designed for use with a

standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank,

not included with grill. Never connect your gas grill to

an LP Gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of

approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches

high is the maximum size LP Gas tank to use. You

must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed

Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature

prevents tank from being overfilled which can cause

malfunction of LP Gas tank, regulator and/or grill.

[] The LP Gas tank must be constructed and marked

in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas

Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation

(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/

CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for

Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and

Commission, as applicable.

[] The LP Gas tank must have a shutoff valve,

terminating in an LP Gas supply tank valve outlet,

that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection

device. The LP Gas tank must also have a safety

relief device that has a direct connection with the

vapor space of the tank.

[] The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor

withdrawal.

[] The LP Gas tank used must have a collar

to protect the tank valve.

[] Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your

gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with

your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure

of 11" water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP

gas tank. Only use the regulator and hose assembly

supplied with your gas grill. Replacement regulators

and hose assemblies must be those specified by

Kenmore.

[] Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve

after every filling to ensure it remains free of defects.

[] Always keep LP Gas tank in upright position.

[] Do not subject the LP Gas tank to excessive heat.

[] Never store an LP Gas tank indoors. If you store

your gas grill in the garage always disconnect the

LP Gas tank first and store it safely outside.

[] LP Gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-

ventilated area and out of the reach of children.

[] Disconnected LP Gas tanks must not be stored in a

building, garage or any other enclosed area.

[] The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after

opening the doors (if applicable) and must be

inspected before each use of the grill. If there is

excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it

must be replaced prior to using the grill again.

[] Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or

before checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully

seated over the gas valve orifices.

[] Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not

allow children or pets to play near your grill.

[] Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability to

assemble and operate the appliance.

[] Keep fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the

event of a oil/grease fire, do not attempt to

extinguish with water. Use type B extinguisher

or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

[] In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off

the burner and gas supply.

[] Use your grill on a level, stable surface in an

area clear of combustible materials.

[] Do not leave grill unattended when in use.

[] Do not move the appliance when in use.

[] Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.

[] Do not use your grill as a heater.

[] This grill is not intended to be installed in

NOTE about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of

replacing your empty LP Gas tank through an exchange

service. Use only those reputable exchange compa-

nies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their

tanks. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety

feature-equipped tank as described in the LP Gas tank

section of this manual.

• Always keep new and exchanged LP Gas tanks in an

upright position during use, transit or storage.

• Leak test new and exchanged LP Gas tanks BEFORE

connecting one to your grill.

How to Leak Test your LP Gas Tank

For your safety:

• All leak tests must be repeated each time your LP Gas

tank is exchanged or refilled.

• When checking for gas leaks do not smoke.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

• Your grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-

ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as

gas fired or electrical appliances. During the leak test,

keep your grill away from open flames or sparks.

• Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to

gas assembly components can result.

[] Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and

water solution.

[] Brush soapy solution onto LP Gas tank in the areas

indicated by the arrows. See diagram.

[] If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the

LP Gas tank. Call an LP Gas Supplier or your Fire

Department.

Operator's Manual.

GRILL INFORMATION CENTER

Call 8am to 8pro CST 1-888-317-7642 Monday through Friday

Proper care and maintenance will keep your grill in top

operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these

cleaning procedures on a timely basis and your grill will

stay clean and operate with minimum effort.

CAUTION: Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.

Cleaning The Cooking Grids

[] Before initial use, and periodically, wash your

Cooking Grids in a mild soap and warm water

solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable

brush to clean your Cooking Grids.

Cleaning The Savor Plates TM

[] Periodically you should wash the Savor Plates TM

in a soap and warm water solution. Use a

vegetable brush to remove stubborn burnt-on

cooking residue. Dry the Savor Plates TM thoroughly

before you reinstall them into the cooking bowl.

Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle

[] To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining

Tray and Grease Receptacle (some models)

should be visually inspected before each grill use.

Remove any grease and wash Grease Tray and

Receptacle with a mild soap and warm water

solution.

Cleaning the inside of the Grill Lid

[] Grease can have a tendency to build up on the

inside of the Grill Lid and could drip onto deck or

patio when the lid is opened. Visually inspect the

inside of the Grill Lid before each grill use. Remove

any grease and wash with a mild soap and warm

water solution.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior

[] Burning-off excess food after every cookout will

keep it ready for instant use. However,at least every

3 months you must give the entire grill a thorough

cleaning to minimize your risk of grease fire and

keep the grill in top shape. Follow these steps:

1. Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.

2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.

For Natural Gas shut off valve.

Disconnect the regulator from the gas tank. Inspect

the hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts

or any other damage, and replace as neccessary.

Refer to the Parts List in this Operator's Manual.

Remove and clean the Savor Plates TM, Cooking

Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.

Cover each Gas Valve Orifice with aluminum foil.

Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a fiber

pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild soap and

warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.

Remove aluminum foil from Orifices and check

each Orifice for obstruction.

Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed.

The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and

Spark Receiver should be approximately 3116".

Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas

Collector Box. The edge of the collector box should

be overlapping the Burner Port.

10. Replace Savor Plates TM and Cooking Grids.

11. Reconnect the gas source and observe the

Burner flame for correct operation.

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:

Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we

suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and

warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or

sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or

brass brush. These will scratch stainless steel and

chip painted surfaces (varies by model) during the

cleaning process.

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior

stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine

oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless

steel can also cause this tanning color. After remov-

ing any protective PVC film from the Grill Lid and

Control Panel use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish

the stainless steel surfaces of your grill. Never use

abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will

scratch and damage your grill. Follow these steps for

the best results.

1. Turn the LP Gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full

OFF position. Disconnect the regulator and hose

assembly from LP Gas tank. For Natural Gas shut

off valve and disconnect the NG regulator and hose

from valve. Cover exposed gas fitting with

aluminum foil.

2. Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth and

polish stainless surfaces. Wipe with a soft cloth.

3. Remove aluminum foil from exposed gas fitting

and allow grill to air dry before attaching the

regulator and hose to your LP Gas tank, or

attaching the regulator and hose to Natural Gas

valve.

Failure to comply with these instructions may

result in a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, may result in injury.

Keep grill area clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors

and liquids.

Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion

and ventilation.

Keep the ventilation openings of the tank enclosure

cabinet free and clear of debris.

Visually check burner flames occasionally to

ensure proper flame pattern as shown below.

6. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the

Gas Valve Orifice.

7. Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects

and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire

beneath the grill.

8. Refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these

three cleaning methods:

[] METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat

hanger into a small hook as shown and

run the hook through the Burner Tube and

inside the Burner several times to remove

debris.

[] METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a

flexible handle and run the brush through

the Burner Tube and inside the Burner

several times to remove any debris.

[] METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air

through each Burner Tube. The forced air

should pass debris or obstructions through

the Burner and out the Ports.

Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you

use, we recommend you also complete the following

steps to help prolong Burner life.

1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire

outer surface of each Burner until free of food

residue and dirt.

2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as

an open paper clip.

Inspect each Burner for damage (cracks or

holes) and if such damage is found, order and

install a new Burner. After installation, check

to ensure that the Gas Valve Orifices are

correctly placed inside the ends of the Burner

Tubes. Also check the position of your Spark

Electrode.

For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve

Assembly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube

before using your grill. See figure. If the Orifice

is not inside the Burner Tube, lighting the

Burner may cause explosion and/or fire result-

ing in serious bodily injury and/or property

damage.

Burn-Off

[] Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you

should "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or

foreign matter. Ignite the burners, lower the Lid, and

operate grill on HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes.

CAUTION: Operating your grill on the HIGH setting for

longer than five minutes may damage certain parts of

your grill. Do not leave your grill unattended when in use.

Preheating

[] To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the Lid

and follow this timetable:

• For high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5

minutes.

• For low temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes.

• To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.

Cooking Temperatures

[] High setting: The HIGH Control Knob setting should

only be used to pre-heat your grill the first 3-5 minutes

and for burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes

after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH setting

for extended cooking.

[] Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify

medium to low settings, including all smoking,

rotisserie cooking and cooking lean cuts such as fish.

An Important Note About Cooking Temperatures

[] The suggested heat settings and cooking times

shown in the following pages are approximate.

Unlike the controlled environment inside your kitchen,

variables including outside temperatures, direction

and conditions of wind, as well as grill location will

affect your grill's heat distribution. Because these

condition vary, and no two backyards are alike, we

offer this guide as a convenience. We recommend

you monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as

needed to prevent overcooking and ensure the most

delicious results every time.

• The middle and back primary cooking areas offer the

highest heat for searing and grilling.

• The Secondary Cooking Rack offers medium heat for

preparing breads and firm vegetables like potatoes

and corn.

• The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is

ideal for preparing delicate foods and for keeping

cooked foods warm.

Direct Cooking

[] The direct cooking method can be used with the

supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over

the lit grill Burners. Direct Cooking requires the Grill

Lid to be open. This method is ideal for searing,

grilling, deep frying and whenever you want foods to

have an open-flame barbecued taste.

Indirect Cooking

[] The indirect cooking method can also be used with

the supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly, the

food should be placed on the left or right side of your

grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. Or place

your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and light

the outer grill Burners. Either way, indirect cooking

must be done with the Lid down.

Prepare Cooking Grids for Grilling

[] Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods

from sticking during the cookout and reduces the

amount of cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a

thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto

each Cooking Grid before each cookout. We do not

suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for

high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire

cooking surface including edges and any areas with

chipped porcelain.

Fla re-U ps

[] The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can

cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably,

distinctive taste and color to food cooked over an

open flame, they should be accepted up to a point.

To minimize flare-ups use a drip pan under foods

that produce a lot of grease, like ribs.

Failure to comply with these instructions could

result in a fire or explosion that could cause

serious bodily injury, death or property damage.

Never line the bottom of the grill housing or

Savor Plates TM with aluminum foil, sand or any

substance that will restrict the flow of grease

into the Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.

Before each use of your grill: Pull out the Grease

Tray and remove all grease and food debris to

prevent grease fire hazard.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any

wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet

away from combustible objects that can melt or

catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences

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.

Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame

retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill.

Never lean over cooking areas while using grill.

Do not touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill housing

or other parts while grill is in operation, or until

the grill has cooled down after use.

small enough to drop between the Cooking Grids.

Fish fillets

Boneless cubes

4 - 5 minutes each side

or until fish is opaque

Vegetables and Fruit

Prepare your fruit or vegetables and brush with butter or

basting sauce if desired. To cook indirectly, the food

should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with

the Burner lit on the opposite side and the grill lid down.

Or center your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and

light the outer grill Burners. Either way, indirect cooking

must be done with the Lid down.

In some instances, you may want to grill vegetables and

fruit directly over the heat, using the supplied Cooking

Grids. Foods that work best with direct heat are relatively

soft and require a short cooking time: mushrooms,

zucchini, tomatoes and skewered fruit such as apricots,

peaches, pineapple, strawberries and kiwis. Remember

the Grill Lid must remain up when cooking directly.

For very firm vegetables--particularly potatoes and yams,

we recommend that you partially boil until almost cooked,

before placing them on the grill. Cooking times using the

indirect method with the lid down will be similar to those

for your kitchen oven. However, there are many factors

such as outside temperature, wind conditions and

location of grill that affect your grill performance so we

suggest you watch the temperature gauge and adjust the

heat accordingly.

Cooking times for foods prepared with the direct method

will be much shorter mainly because of the direct heat

source and softness of the food. Timing will be compa-

rable to normal pan frying or grilling.

A-2

An Important Note About Heat Settings

The suggested heat settings shown are approximate.

There are many factors such as outside temperature,

wind conditions and grill location that affect your grill

performance. We offer these cooking times as a

convenience, but suggest you watch the temperature

gauge and adjust the heat accordingly.

Preparing to Roast

Roasting uses the indirect cooking method. Therefore, the

food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill

with the Burner lit on the opposite side. You can also use

the supplied Cooking Grid with an aluminum drip pan

underneath allowing you to collect juices for making

gravies. Remember, indirect cooking requires the Lid of

your grill to be down.

Preheating your grill is not required for slow cooking

methods such as roasting. If you do choose to preheat your

grill before roasting, turn the Burners on HIGH and close Lid

for approximately 2-3 minutes.

Food preparation

Trim meat of excess fat. Truss meat and poultry with

cooking string to retain shape if desired. Bacon strips can

be used to cover the outside surface of lean meat and

poultry to help prevent it from drying out. Another method

for keeping food moist during roasting is to put water in a

cooking pan, then cover with foil. The foil should be

removed for the first or the last part of the cooking time to

ensure proper browning.

Tips for roasting

Except when roasting with water in a roasting pan, the

juices that collect in the pan can be used as the base for a

tasty sauce or gravy. Place a cooking pan directly over the

heat, add extra butter if needed, then add several spoon-

fuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add sufficient chicken

or beef stock to obtain the desired consistency.

Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and

cover with a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15

minutes which allows the juices to settle. This will make

carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

BAKING TECHNIQUES

From casseroles and cornbread to delicious desserts like

fondue fruit skewers or crumb cake, baking on the grill is as

easy as baking in the kitchen.

Preparing to Bake

To bake in your new grill you'll need a baking dish or cast-

iron cooking pan, and a pair of flame retardant BBQ Mitts. If

the cooking pan is cast-iron be sure to season the pan

before use.

placed on the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit

on the opposite side.

Tips for Baking

Prepare your favorite recipe as you would in the kitchen.

Foods cooked in the grill for long periods of time should

always be covered in aluminum foil to retain moisture. You

will need to stir the food several times as it bakes, and add

additional liquid if required.

Preheat your grill 3-5 minutes, then lower heat to achieve

the baking temperature desired. Baking uses the indirect

cooking method. Therefore, your cooking pan should be

Watch the temperature, and adjust to cook according to

Slow Cooking with a Rotisserie

A Rotisserie Kit is made to fit your grill model. Rotis-

serie cooking produces foods that are moist, flavorful

and attractive. The optional rotisserie system is most

commonly used for cooking meat or poultry and is

designed to cook food slowly. You can place a cooking

pan beneath the food to collect juices for basting and

gravy. To flavor the contents of the cooking pan you

may add herbs, onions, or other spices of your choice.

The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately

the same as for oven cooking.

Balancing the Food

In rotisserie cooking, balancing the food is of utmost

importance. The rotisserie must turn evenly or the

stopping and starting action will cause the food to cook

unevenly and possibly burn the heavier side.

The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform

shape and texture. To test if the food is balanced

correctly when secured, place the ends of the rotis-

serie spit loosely in the palms of your hands. If there is

no tendency to roll, give the spit a quarter turn. If it is

still stable, give it a final quarter turn. It should rest

without turning in each of these positions. It can then

be attached to your grill.

Food Preparation

When preparing poultry, truss the birds tightly so that

wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird.

The cavity of the bird may be stuffed prior to this. Pull the

neck skin down and, using a small skewer, fix it to the

back of the bird. Push the rotisserie spit through

lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone.

Center the bird and tighten with the holding forks. Test the

balance as described before.

A rolled piece of meat requires the rotisserie skewer to be

inserted through the center of the length of meat, then

secured and balanced.

For meats that contain bones, it is best to secure the

rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections. If

protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover with

pieces of foil.

Preparing to Smoke

Smoking gives food a distinctive, delicious flavor. You will

find a variety of wood chips or pellets available for use in

smoking grilled foods. Pre-soaking of wood chips may

be required so read and follow the manufacturers

instructions for preparing smoking chips prior to use.

Note: It is our experience that many smoking chip

and pellet products do not actually produce a smoke but

instead infuses the food with flavor. Please read product

labels carefully and if in doubt, ask your retailer for

details.

Using A Smoker Box

There are many optional smoker boxes available for

purchase. Follow these guidelines and always refer to

the label of your smoking chips or pellets for specific

directions.

Raise your Grill Lid and light the grill. Lower the Grill Lid

allowing your grill to reach the desired cooking tempera-

ture for the food you are grilling. Fill your smoker box with

your prepared smoking chips or pellets. Dried herbs and

spices may also be added to produce different flavors.

Wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt and place your smoker

box on a Cooking Grid or Savor Plate TM directly above a lit

grill Burner. The heated smoking chips or pellets will

flavor your foods.

Tips for Smoking

You can reduce the strength of the smoke flavor by only

smoking for half or three quarters of the cooking time.

The heat required for smoking is normally LOW to

MEDIUM.

Foods naturally high in oils lend themselves well to

smoking, while drier foods benefit from a marinade.

• Tuna steaks, marinated in Asian flavors of sesame

oil, soy sauce and sherry.

• Pork fillets, rubbed with ginger, orange rind and

brushed with maple syrup.

• Mussels, brushed with lemon rind and chili oil.

• Lamb cutlets, marinated in virgin olive oil, lemon,

oregano and black pepper. The same marinade can

be used for a whole leg or rack of lamb.

• Chicken, boneless chicken pieces--especially sliced

breasts.

• Fish, sliced fillets of firm fish, assorted seafood such

as prawns, scallops and calamari.

• Pork, sliced fillets, diced or minced pork, sliced leg

steak, sliced chops.

• Beef, sliced fillet, rib-eye, round, rump, sirloin.

• Lamb, sliced fillet, round, loin.

STIR-FRYING TECHNIQUES

This method of cooking is popular around the world and

can be easily accomplished outdoors on your gas grill. It's

a quick and healthful way of preparing a complete meal

using meat, poultry or seafood in infinite combinations

with other interesting ingredients like vegetables, rice or

noodles.

Preparing to Stir-fry

Although it is possible to stir fry in other dishes, a wok is

your best tool. Its high sides enable the cook to stir food

without spillage. Its construction allows you to cook quickly

at high temperatures, with instant control of heat which is

essential for successful stir frying.

Food preparation

Slice meat and poultry into long thin strips and cube fish

fillets. Remove all fat from meat and poultry and cut large

vegetables into even slices or cubes.

Marinate foods for extra flavor and tenderness. Marinating

times will vary for red meat, fish and or various cuts. Less

tender cuts of meat should be marinated longer. Remem-

ber to always chill marinating food in the refrigerator prior

to cooking.

Stir-fry meats, poultry or fish first. Next, add hard veg-

etables like carrots. Then continue with softer vegetables

like snowpeas and peppers. To ensure even cooking,

continually stir and toss the food in the wok using a

wooden spoon or spatula.

Tips for Stir-frying

Place a wok on a Cooking Grid or Side Burner directly

over a HIGH heat. Add only a small amount of food at

a time to ensure fast cooking and also to allow the wok

to reheat between ingredients.

DEEP-FRYING TECHNIQUES

A wide variety of foods can be deep-fried outdoors on

your grill, from potatoes, to seafood and chicken. Deep-

frying uses a large portion of oil, preferably saturated.

The outdoor location is ideal for deep-frying as smoke,

grease and smells disperse in the open air instead of

collecting on the ceiling of your kitchen.

Preparing to Deep-fry

Deep-fry on your grill using a cooking pan or wok, over

direct heat.

Fill a cooking pan no more than half full of vegetable or

corn oil. Start with LOW heat, then raise the heat

gradually. Check the temperature of the oil carefully with

a frying thermometer or test with a cube of bread. The

cube of bread should brown in about 30 seconds for

most cooking needs. A temperature between 350 and

400 degrees is optimal for preparing the majority of

deep-fried foods.

Food Preparation

Foods being deep-fried taste better when coated with

either batter or breadcrumbs to add flavor and prevent

moisture from escaping.

Tips for Deep-frying

Wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt and slowly lower

foods into the hot oil using a wire scoop or stainless

steel tongs. Add only a small quantity of food to the

oil, allow it to cook, then repeat with another small

quantity. This ensures the oil doesn't drop in

temperature. Once the food is cooked, remove it

carefully and drain onto a paper towel. Turn the heat

off as soon as you have finished deep-frying and

allow your pan to cool. When the oil is cool, remove

all remnants of fried foods by straining it through a

fine metal sieve, and store it in a clean bottle for

future use.

Vegetables are generally easy to cook on the grill. The

Cooking Rack makes it convenient because you can still

use the main cooking area while the vegetables are

suspended above the grids.

Pre-cook hard vegetables by briefly boiling or

microwaving them before cooking on the grill. Wrap

vegetables in a double thickness of foil to protect them

while cooking on the grill. Then, remove the foil if desired,

10-15 minutes before the end of cooking, brush veg-

etables with butter or oil and finish cooking.

The Cooking Rack can be used for purposes other than

just the obvious. Consider using the rack for warming

French bread, garlic bread, croissants or even bagels.

A small whole fish wrapped in foil also cooks well on the

Cooking Rack. Parcels of seafood such as scallops,

prawns and sliced fish fillets prepared in a sauce and

portioned into small foil wraps cook well this way, too.

Question:

Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in

other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?

Answer:

No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications

and is certified for LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) or NG

(Natural Gas) use only. For your safety, conversion kits

are not available, nor will we sell or otherwise provide

parts or information to be used to convert your grill. Any

attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will void

your warranty.

Question:

Are the serial and model numbers of my grill listed

somewhere for reference?

Answer:

The serial and model numbers are listed on a silver

CSA label placed on the grill. Depending on the grill

model the silver CSA label will be located on the left or

right side bowl panel underneath the side shelf,

underneath the right side of the control panel, outside

left or right of control panel or on the back of the grill

cabinet.

Question:

My grill will not light properly. Why?

Answer:

Always light the Main Burner farthest from the fuel

source first. This will draw gas across the manifold

helping prevent air pockets which obstruct gas-flow and

prevent proper grill lighting. Also try this procedure:

1. Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knobs OFF.

Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.

2. If your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner Control

Knob(s) and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test

of ALL gas connections and gas sources as

explained in the Use and Care section of this manual.

3. If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to

clear and repeat the lighting procedure.

Question:

If my ignitor or battey is not working how can I light

my grill manually? And - Why would I need the silver

lighting stick that hangs from the side of my grill?

Answer:

If your ignition fails to work or your battery needs

replacing, you can light your grill through the Lighting

Hole on the side of the grill bowl using the Manual

Lighting Stick that hangs from the side of your grill. The

Lighting Stick is designed to hold a paper match and

allows you to safely insert a match through the Lighting

Hole without getting close to the Burner. Never remove

the Cooking Grids or Savor Plates TM and attempt to light

the grill from above. To light your gas grill manually,

insert a paper match into the Manual Lighting Stick and

follow steps 1 through 6 of the Basic Lighting

Procedures. Then, light the match and place it through

the Lighting Hole on the right side of the grill (location of

hole varies by grill model). Turn the nearest main

Burner Control Knob to the High setting to release gas.

The Burner should light immediately.

A-7

Question:

Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my

regulator. What causes this? And - My grill has a low

flame and sometimes will not light. Why?

Answer:

The humming sound is gas flowing through the

regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not

interfere with the operation of your grill. Loud or

excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and

intermittent lighting may be caused by the regulator's

excess gas flow device. Opening the tank valve all the

way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's

safety device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess

gas flow to your grill. Lighting the main Burner farthest

from the fuel source every time will help eliminate air

pockets in the manifold. Note: This procedure should

be done every time a new LP Gas tank is connected to

your grill.

[]

Turn all Control Knobs to the OFF position.

Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.

For Natural Gas shut off NG valve.

Disconnect regulator from LP Gas tank.

For Natural Gas disconnect regulator from 12 ft.

Natural Gas Hose.

Let unit stand for 10 minutes.

Reconnect regulator to the LP Gas tank.

For Natural Gas reconnect regulator to 12 ft.

Natural Gas Hose.

Open grill Lid (or Side Burner Lid if you are lighting

the Side Burner)

Turn the tank valve slowly ¼ of one turn.

For Natural Gas open Shut Off valve.

Light main Burner farthest from fuel source.

Turn the tank valve slowly one more % of one turn

for ½ of one complete turn.

Continue to light Burners moving towards the tank.

[] Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn.

Question:

Where do Iuse 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 3 feet away from any wall or

surface.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from

combustible objects that can melt or catch fire

(such as vinyl or wood siding, fences 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

supplied with your new grill, 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 overfilied.

Tanks without an OPD valve can not be refilled.

Question:

What type of pipe and fittings will I need to connect

a natural gas grill at my home?

Answer:

Even if your home is plumbed with a natural gas

connection outdoors, there is an additional fitting and

piping required to hook up a natural gas grill. Refer

to the Natural Gas section of this manual for a

diagram of recommended Natural Gas hook-up.

Because each home is unique the type and length of

fittings will vary. This is a technical process that

involves patience and time. The details below will

offer guidance but if you feel uncomfortable with this

procedure you should seek the assistance of a

plumber or gas supply professional.

Gas Line Piping: If the length of line required does not

exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger

should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet. Gas

piping may be copper tubing, type K or L;

polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall

thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight

(schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe. Copper

tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than

0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of

gas. Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor,

underground use. Gas piping in contact with earth, or

any other material which may corrode the piping,

must be protected against corrosion in an approved

manner. Underground piping must have a minimum

of 18" cover.

Shut Off Valve:It is highly recommended that a Shut

Off Valve be installed at the gas supply source

outdoors. Install at a point after the gas pipe exits the

outside wall and before the Quick Disconnect Hose,

or install it at the point before the gas line piping

enters the ground.

Question:

Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated cooking grids

in the dishwasher?

Answer:

Clean your cooking grids by hand if there are any chips

or cracks in the porcelain finish and dry them thoroughly.

If no chips or cracks are present it should be safe to use

the dishwasher. Remember to dry the cooking grids

thoroughly before placing back onto your grill to

minimize rusting.

Question:

What causes grill parts to rust and what affect does

it have on my grill?

Answer:

Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may

appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not

affect the short term performance of your grill.

To slow the rusting process on steel Cooking Grids

(select models) we recommend greasing the

Cooking Grids before and after each cookout. Use a

brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable

shortening onto each Cooking Grid. We do not

suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for

high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire

cooking surface including edges and any areas with

chipped porcelain.

Question:

Which is a better cooking surface to grill on;

porcelain coated steel / cast-iron cooking grids or

stainless steel grids?

Answer:

They all have their advantages. For traditional grilling

and searing meats, cast-iron or steel grids offer

better heat conductivity. To protect against the natural

rusting process, steel or cast-iron cooking grids offer

a porcelain finish which requires routine

maintenance to keep the grids well seasoned.

Stainless steel is popular with those who prefer less

maintenance.

A new innovative solution is available on select

models called stainless Therma-Core TM. This

Cooking Grid combines a heat conducting steel core

with an easy-to-clean stainless outer shell.

Question:

Some stainless steel grills specify 304 grade

construction while others do not mention a grade at

all? What is the difference?

Answer:

All stainless grades are not created equal. The 304

grade, also called 18-8 stainless steel, is prized for its

excellent resistance to rust and corrosion and good

performance at high temperatures, which makes it ideal

for grill construction.

304 grade stainless steel is by far the most popular

stainless steel and contains 18-20% chromium and

8-10% nickel, making it non-magnetic.

Some stainless steel grills are constructed of Type 430

stainless steel which contains 16-18% chromium but

generally less than 1% nickel. It is magnetic with less

corrosion and rust resistance and designed for limited

temperature use. Beware of stainless steel grills that

offer no claim of grade because what looks shiny on the

sales floor could become a problem on your patio.

How can you tell if a product is made of 304 grade

stainless? Take the simple magnet test. If a magnet

sticks to the stainless steel it is 430 grade. If a magnet

does not stick you can trust its 304 grade quality.
