THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN A FULLY
ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.
ENSURE PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW
Proper airfl ow (Fig. 10-1) MUST be maintained for
the grill to perform as it was designed. If airfl ow
is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will
result. Do not block the 1" (2.5 cm) front air inlet
along the bottom of the control panel or more
than 75% of the cooking grid surface with pans
or griddles.
Note: The 1" (2.5 cm) front air space also allows
access to the drip tray.
CAUTION: Wind blowing into or across the rear
oven lid vent (Fig. 10-2) can cause
poor performance and/or dangerous
overheating. Orient the grill so that the
prevailing wind blows toward the front
of the grill (Fig. 10-3).

L-C2-438
INSTALL THE VAPORIZER PANELS
Place the vaporizer panels directly onto the studs on the
burners. The panels allow heat from the burners to be evenly
distributed throughout the cooking area. The panels are
stainless steel and will heat and cool quickly, making your
barbecue very responsive to the changes you specify in grill
temperature. They are rust resistant and may be cleaned
with standard oven cleaners. Some discoloring will be seen
with use. This is normal for stainless steel and does not
affect the function.

LIGHTING (IGNITION) INSTRUCTIONS
20
The infrared (IR) searing burner (optional) cooks with
a powerful radiant heat.
Light the infrared burner following the LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS in this manual or printed on the
drip tray. Follow these guidelines when operating the
Infrared burner:
• DO NOT place food on the cooking grid until
the IR burner glows orange (Fig. 20-3). Drippings
are heated and evaporate instead of sticking to and
impairing burner function.
• For cleaning purposes; always leave your burner
on (after cooking) for an additional 5 minutes, to
allow for a burnoff period. This is important to
keep your burner clean and operating properly.
As the burner is self cleaning (at full temperature);
avoid the use of cleaners or abrasives.
• When not in use, always cover the infrared burner
with the stainless-steel cover. This protects the
burner from drippings (from other cooking), airborne
particles, and foreign objects (Fig. 20-2).
• Do not strike or scratch the burner ceramic as it
may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 20-2).
Note: Digital thermometer does not give accurate
readings for infrared burners.
Important: When grilling with the infrared burner,
always place a cooking grid above it.
The cooking grid must be removed for
rotisserie cooking.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate your IR burner with the
oven hood closed.
CAUTION: Never attempt to operate the IR burner
with the protective cover in place.
WARNING
Only handle the infrared burner cover when the
unit is cold or with a well-insulated long-handled
tool or heat resistant gloves.
Burner ceramic must be protected with cover when
burner is not in use.
Drips and particles evaporate before hitting infrared
burner when cooking at the maximum setting.
Note: Flavor grids are not to be used with infrared
burners.
To ensure proper operation, all infrared burners
(back and main) must be operated on the HI setting
for a minimum of 10 minutes. Thereafter, the fl ame
may be lowered as desired.
CAUTION: Always monitor the infrared burner fl ame
when operated on low, as it may blow
out in high-wind conditions.

THE DRIP TRAY
The drip collection system allows you to brush or scrape
excess dried residue from the grilling area directly into
the drip tray (see the DRIP TRAY section for more
information).
THE COOKING GRID LIFTER
Hold the grid lifter by gripping the center section with the
prongs pointing down (use an oven mitt or heavy glove
if the grill is hot). Insert the notched end of the grid lifter
into the cooking grid, in front of the midway point (front
to back; Fig. 22-3), and central (left to right; Fig. 22-4).
Twist the grill lifter (clockwise or counterclockwise) so
the handle is parallel to the grill rods. This “seats” the
spiked end of the grid lifter between two rods, enabling
you to safely lift out the grid. Lift slowly and adjust the
grid lifter, if necessary, for balance.

The drip collection system in this barbecue is part
of the unit’s main frame and is located below the
burners. The drip collector has slots that will allow
excess drippings to fall through during cooking, while
separating the fi rebox from the drip tray. Clean the
drip tray after each use.
The drip collector allows you to brush or scrape
residue from the barbecue’s inner liner into the drip
tray. Following the manufacturers instructions and
regular cleaning of the barbecue’s interior with oven
cleaner, will help to prevent grease fi res.
Note: When cleaning the drip tray, the drip tray
heat shield will fi rst need to be removed to
properly clean/empty the tray of its contents.
See section below.
Note: There are easy to follow lighting instructions
etched onto the top of the drip tray handle.
DRIP TRAY HEAT SHIELD
The drip tray heat shield provides protection to the
grill controls from high heat. When cleaning the drip
tray, the heat shield must be removed. To re-install,
slide the front lip of the heat shield into the front
portion of the drip tray, then orient the front and side
tabs as shown in Fig. 23-2 to properly drop in place.

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE
WEATHER
An optional cover will protect your appliance when not
in use. (Allow to cool before covering.)
Please specify the model number and serial number
of your appliance when ordering a cover.
APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN
CLEANING. DO NOT SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR
LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.
The appliance must be cleaned as often as once a month
(depending on use) to prevent grease build-up and other
food deposits.
INTERIOR
THE BURNER PORTS AND CARRY-OVER PORTS/
SLOTS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN TO ENSURE PROPER
IGNITION AND OPERATION.
Remove the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions)
and clean the ports and slots as required. Also inspect
and clean the burner inlet for insects and nests. A clogged
burner can lead to a fi re in the bottom of the appliance.
The inside of the appliance may be cleaned periodically
with oven cleaner if desired. Follow the oven cleaner
instructions for proper use.
Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface
of the appliance as it can permanently damage the fi nish.
EXTERIOR
Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures
produced by the grilling process will change color. The
stainless steel will change color from silver to brown
and blue. This can be removed by using stainless steel
cleaner.
Clean your appliance by fi rst using grill cleaner to remove
grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain (See Fig.
24-1). Next, use stainless steel cleaner to restore the
stainless steel color (Note: not for mirror fi nish). Finish
by wiping your appliance down using polish wipes. To
clean any mirror fi nish (if applicable), use a quality
brand glass cleaner only, not any of the cleaners
mentioned above.
If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or
poolside (chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible
to corrosion and must be maintained/cleaned more
frequently. Do not store chemicals (such as chlorine or
fertilizer) near your stainless steel appliance.
Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide
deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits
are removable with stainless steel cleaner through prompt
and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly,
permanent pitting may occur.
By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the
beauty and convenience of your appliance for many years
to come.
IMPORTANT
IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE MAIN GAS VALVE TO THE UNIT.
KEEP THE LID OPEN AND ALLOW THE FIRE TO
EXTINGUISH ITSELF. A THOROUGH INSPECTION
BY A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN SHOULD
BE CONDUCTED BEFORE FUTURE USE OF YOUR
UNIT. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WILL CHECK THE
SYSTEM FOR GAS LEAKS AND WILL CHECK ALL
ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR DAMAGE. ALL GAS
LEAKS AND WIRING MUST BE REPAIRED PRIOR
TO FUTURE USE.

Your grill is engineered with the conveniences of
electrical power for illuminating and igniting the grill.
To replace any oven light, follow the instructions below.
Important: ONLY REPLACE WITH 12V / 10 WATT
HALOGEN BULB(S).
WARNING
To protect from potentially sharp sheet metal and
glass, wear gloves and safety glasses during this
procedure.
1. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position
and shut off the gas supply to the grill at the source
(tank valve for propane units or gas line shut-off
valve for natural gas units.)
2. Disconnect supply of external electrical power to
the grill.
CAUTION: Wait for the grill, oven, lens, light bulb,
and fi xture to cool before proceeding to
the next step.
3. Open the oven lid.
Important: Place one hand directly below the glass
lens and prepare to catch it when it is
detached.
4. Carefully insert a standard fl at head screwdriver
or thin plastic spatula between the glass lens and
the stainless steel on which the light is mounted
and gently pry the glass lens out in such a way
that the stainless steel is not scratched (twisting
the screwdriver handle, for instance). Catch the
lens and set it safely aside.
Note: You may wish to take this opportunity to clean
the lens with a standard household window
cleaner and then dry it completely.
5. Wearing a pair of gloves, reach into the fi xture,
gently grab the bulb, and pull it straight out of the
fi xture so that the two pins at the base of the bulb
come all the way out.
Important: Bulb is halogen. DO NOT TOUCH with
bare hands. Oils from hands drastically
reduce bulb life.
Note: It may be helpful to rock the bulb gently
backward and forward while pulling it out.
6. Inspect the old bulb for broken glass or fi lament.
Note: It may be benefi cial to test a suspect bulb
in one of the other light fi xtures known to be
working and turn the power back on to be
certain the bulb is actually not working.
7. Insert the new 12V / 10 watt halogen bulb into the
socket so that both pins slide all the way into the
two holes in the bottom of the socket.
8. Place the lens back into the fi xture opening with

This unit comes from the factory confi gured for one type of
gas, as marked on the label located behind the control panel,
or on the interior of the unit’s enclosure.
A certified kit is available from the manufacturer to
convert your appliance from natural gas to L.P. or vice
versa. Contact your dealer for ordering information. The
professional installer must reference the steps below
for conversion information. If the conversion kit ordered
includes instructions, follow those instructions.
1. Change brass gas orifi ces (included at original shipping)
on each burner to match the new gas type (see MODEL
SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, Table 1).
2. If applicable, switch the convertible gas regulator
(originally equipped only on natural gas models) to match
the new gas type (see section below).
Note: Models to be connected to a household propane or
natural gas line require the regulator. For models
to be connected to L.P. Cylinders, the regulator is
optional.
Note: Nat. to L.P. conversions using a tank internal to a
portable grill require use of a propane tank holder
for safety and compliance with the ANSI standards
referenced on the cover of this document. A
conversion kit (which includes this tank holder) must
be purchased separately from the manufacturer.
3. Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.
4. Apply the label for the new gas (included at original shipping)
over the old gas information found on your unit.
THIS APPLIANCE REGULATOR IS RATED FOR
1
/
2
PSI MAXIMUM. IF YOUR GAS SUPPLY IS GREATER THAN
1
/
2
PSI, AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED TO REDUCE THE INPUT PRESSURE TO THE UNIT to
1
/
2
PSI OR LESS. SEE GAS-SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS SECTION FOR PROPER GAS-SUPPLY PRESSURE.
Note: Each end of the plastic converter is engraved with either the letters “NAT”
or “L.P.” (propane) for the respective gasses. When the converter is in the
cap and the cap is held uppermost, the letters seen indicate the gas that
the regulator is set up for.
To convert the regulator from one gas to another, follow steps 1-4.
STEP 2:
Remove the converter (the
plastic stalk) by carefully
pulling it away from the center
of the cap (it will snap out of
its seating).
STEP 1:
Unscrew and remove the cap from the
regulator, extracting the converter.
Regulator: note cap on top
STEP 3:
Turn the converter around and
replace it carefully, into the
