INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5
WARNING
This appliance MUST be installed and operated according to the information below.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT THE GRILL CABINET MAY RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR DEATH.
A leaking gas connection or valve unintentionally left open will create a hazard.
WHEN USING PROPANE GAS
• Propane gas (also known as L.P. gas) is heavier than air and will accumulate or pool in an inadequately
vented enclosure or recessed area.
• If a pool of propane gas is ignited, an explosion will occur. Adequate venting at the floor level of the cabinet
eliminates this danger.
• DO NOT store a spare propane-gas cylinder in or near the unit.
WHEN USING NATURAL GAS
• Natural gas is lighter than air and will accumulate at the top of an inadequately vented enclosure.
• If an accumulation of natural gas is ignited, an explosion will occur. Adequate venting at the top of the cabinet
eliminates this danger.
INSTALLATION SAFETY GUIDELINES
THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED SO THAT THE VENT OPENINGS ON THE CABINET REMAIN CLEAR AND

LOCATION PREPARATION
Prepare a flat, level surface capable of supporting
the weight of the portable grill and convenient to the
gas supply if connecting to a gas line.
WHEELS AND CASTERS
To lock a caster press down on the left lever until it
stops and the caster will not turn. To unlock, press
down on the right lever.
CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY
Always ensure the orifices and regulator (if
equipped) are set for the gas type your unit is
to be installed to.
For connecting a propane unit to a portable
propane tank, read the safety warnings and follow
the instructions in the section SAFE USE AND
MAINTENANCE OF PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS.
For household propane or natural gas units:
1. Turn OFF the gas supply at the source. The
quick disconnect hose is pre-installed on the
valve manifold at the manufacturer. Run the
hose through the hole in the bottom rear of the
portable unit, to the gas supply.
2. A shut-off valve is required within 6 feet of the unit.
Connect the quick connect hose to the shut-
off valve OR gas supply using a pipe joint
compound resistant to all gasses (see Fig. 17-2).
Tighten securely.
3. Turn all burner valves to the OFF position. Turn
the gas supply on. Then carefully check all gas
connections for leaks with a brush and soapy
water before lighting. NEVER USE A MATCH
OR OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
INSTALL THE VAPORIZER PANELS
Place the vaporizer panels directly onto the studs
on the burners. See Fig. 17-3. 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.

ALLUMAGE DES INSTRUCTIONS (D’ALLUMAGE)
25
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. 25-3). 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), water,
airborne particles, and foreign objects (Fig. 25-2).
Important: Clean burners allow the gas to circulate
and burn over the entire heating surface
for powerful and even cooking.
• Do not strike or scrape the ceramic portion of the
burner as it may chip, crack, or break (Fig. 25-2).
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 flame
may be lowered as desired.
CAUTION: Always monitor the infrared burner flame
when operated on low, as it may blow
out in high-wind conditions.

Your grill requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Refer to these instructions for details. Performing these procedures
will ensure proper operation, appearance, and safety.
WARNINGS
• Prior to servicing or cleaning make sure the unit is completely cool, the control knobs are turned to the OFF position,
the gas supply is shut off, the light switch is off, and the power supply is disconnected (as applicable and unless
otherwise stated).
• Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during any servicing or cleaning.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner or liquids on the grill when hot.
• The grill MUST be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up and other food deposits. A clean and well maintained
grill prevents the risk of grease build-up and grease fires.
• Verify proper operation after servicing or deep cleaning.
• See INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION section for additional related information.
CLEANING YOUR GRILL
Before Each Use
1. Inspect and clean the exterior surfaces of the unit: With a cool grill, clean any dust, grease, splatter, or spills as needed
with a damp clean cloth.
After Each Use
1. Perform a burn-off and clean the cooking grids: Operate the grill on high with the hood closed for 15 minutes to burn-
off food and grease and allow for an easier cooking grid clean. Then turn OFF the grill and use a grill brush to clean
the cooking grids of all residue. Wear protective gloves and use caution around hot surfaces.
2. Check and clean your drip tray: When the grill is cool, carefully remove the drip tray and dispose of contents appropriately.
Clean tray in a soapy water solution if needed. For tough deposits, a copper pad can be used. Rinse and dry completely.
3. Cover your grill: Once the grill is dry and cool, cover your grill with a vinyl cover.
Twice A Year (or as needed) - Deep Clean
1. Interior of grill: In addition to cleaning the cooking grids and drip tray, a deep clean of the interior of
the grill, burners, and all components MUST be performed twice year (or as needed depending on
use). Refer to the CARE, CLEANING, & MAINTENANCE GUIDE manual provided with your grill, or
simply scan the QR code on the right.
Important: The burner ports and carry-over ports/slots MUST be kept clean to ensure proper ignition
and operation. The guide provides all details on cleaning.
2. Exterior of grill: With a cool grill, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water solution)
and a clean cloth to remove grease and dirt from the outside of the grill. For
tough deposits, a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with the grain. Rinse
and dry completely. Then follow up with a stainless steel cleaner and a clean
cloth. DO NOT use other cleaners or chemicals.
If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel may become
dull and develop surface rust (due to use and atmospheric conditions). If left
uncleaned, significant damage and pitting may occur.
Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools, or any other
cleaners/chemicals to clean the exterior other than recommended
above. Such items promote rust.
Note: Due to the nature of stainless steel, temperatures produced by the grilling process will cause discoloration. This
can be reduced by routine cleaning.

For Environments High In Salt, Chloride, Or Other Corrosive Chemicals
When this grill is installed in a corrosive environment such as near the ocean (salt air), poolside (chlorine and/or
pool chemicals) or any other location with exposure to high salt/chloride content or corrosive chemicals/solutions,
it will be more susceptible to corrosion and MUST be maintained/cleaned more frequently.
• DO NOT store any corrosive chemicals (chlorine, hydrochloric acid, fertilizer, etc.) near your stainless steel grill.
• DO NOT allow any corrosive materials (masonry dust, debris, etc.) to settle on your stainless steel grill.
• These environments, chemicals, and materials may cause the 304 stainless steel to develop surface rust and
consequently pitting. Under these conditions the grill exterior MUST be cleaned at least monthly. Inspect your grill
often and clean accordingly.
Protecting Your Grill
An optional vinyl cover will protect your grill when not in use. Install the cover on a cool and dry grill. DO NOT cover a damp
grill. During high humidity or after rainy conditions, remove the cover to dry trapped moisture if present. (If the cover is
installed over a damp grill it can cause surface rust.)
Ensure that the INSIDE of the cover is DRY before putting it back on the grill.

REPLACING HALOGEN BULBS
Your grill is engineered with the conveniences of
electrical power for illuminating and igniting the grill.
To replace any interior 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 fixture 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 flat 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 fixture,
gently grab the bulb, and pull it straight out of the
fixture 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 filament.
Note: It may be beneficial to test a suspect bulb
in one of the other light fixtures 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 fixture opening with
the curved cutout on the bottom and snap it back
into place.

CONVERT GAS TYPE / CHECK BURNER
ORIFICES
CAUTION: Make sure the grill is at a safe temperature
and isolated from gas and electrical
supplies before beginning.
For your safety, exercise caution, and make sure you
have adequate hand protection, such as gloves, when
handling metal parts.
A kit is available from the manufacturer to convert
your appliance from L.P. gas to natural gas. Contact
your dealer for ordering information.
Follow the instructions included with the conversion
kit. This section only provides an overview.
To simply check orifices, refer to the CHECK ORIFICE
sections.
Apply Conversion Label
This grill comes from the factory configured for one type
of gas as marked on the label inside the cabinet.
When the grill is converted, the label for the new gas
MUST be filled out and applied next to the existing
label mentioned above.
Convert Regulator
The gas regulator, equipped only on natural gas models
and located beneath the grill, must be set for the type of
gas used to fuel the grill. To check the regulator setting,
remove the cap in the center of the regulator (Fig. 30-1,
A). Holding the cap vertical (see Fig. 30-2, B), the letters
at the bottom of the plastic stalk indicate the gas type for
which the regulator is currently configured.
If the text on the bottom of the regulator stalk does not
match the gas type connected to the grill, remove the
stalk from the cap, invert, and replace into center of cap.
Replace cap on the regulator, screwing down until snug.
Note: Models to be connected to household propane
or natural gas lines require the regulator
(contact your dealer if a regulator needs to be
ordered). For models to be connected to L.P.
cylinders, the regulator is optional.
Convert Gas Orifices
When converting the grill to a different gas type, each
burner’s orifice must be replaced with the corresponding
orifice for the new gas (not included).
See
MODEL SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, Table 1 to
determine the proper orifice sizes for each burner.
See the following sections for details on orifice
conversion.
Important: It is critical to the operation of each
burner that its orifice be fully inserted
into the center of its orifice opening.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR
IF A NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH
PROPANE GAS.
Connect To New Gas Supply
Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.
(Additional components may be needed for your specific
setup.) Be sure to leak test at all connections.
Natural-gas to propane-gas conversions using a tank

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Important: This appliance may not light or heat evenly
or cook properly unless the air shutters
are adjusted following installation (see
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT section).
Burner air shutters are easily accessed by removing the
control panel. See the CONTROL PANEL REMOVAL
section for access.
The air shutters are located on the front portion of each
burner and have a locking screw that prevents the air
shutter from inadvertent movement (see Fig. 33-1).
Remove the cooking grids & vaporizer panels from the grill.
To close or open the
air shutters, simply
loosen the locking
screw, using a long
stemmed Phillips
screwdriver, and turn
the air shutter to open
or close it. Tighten the
screws down when
the desired setting is
achieved.
Main Burner
Light the burner to be adjusted in accordance with the
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS and burn for 2 minutes with
the burner control knob set to HIGH and the oven open.
After burning for 2 minutes, open the air shutter until the
flames lift off, or appear not to be touching the burner.
Then begin closing the air shutter until the flames appear
to burn while touching the burner ports (Fig. 33-2). If
flames are a lazy yellow, open the air shutters until the
flame is mostly blue.
Note: Grills in some installations achieve a better
air/gas mixture and will ignite more quickly
if the valve is first turned beyond HIGH to
MEDIUM or LOW for lighting.

Sideburner (if equipped)
The flames from a properly adjusted sideburner will
touch the burner ports and appear mostly blue.
If the flames are orange, “lazy”, or lift off the burner
ports, then adjust the sideburner air shutter using the
following steps.
Sideburner adjustment is the most accessible (not
requiring any hardware to be removed first) and is
located underneath the sideburner shelf on the left side
of the grill, near the wall of the cart. The sideburner
air shutter can safely and easily be adjusted while the
sideburner is lit.
CAUTION: Do not touch the sideburner or the shelf
immediately around it. They will be
hot while adjusting the sideburner air
shutter.
1. Light the sideburner following the lighting instructions
in this manual.
2. Loosen the sideburner air-shutter adjustment
screw, then use the tip of the screwdriver to open
or close the air shutter until the flames appear blue
and touch the burner ports.
3. Re-tighten the adjustment screw.

CONTROL PANEL REMOVAL
1. Turn the control knobs to the OFF position and turn off the gas supply to
the grill.
2. Turn off the light switch and disconnect the unit from the power source.
3. Pull the control knobs from their stems and set them aside.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the control panel fastener screws (located
on the sides of the control panel). Retain the screws for later re-installation.
5. Carefully open the control panel by lifting and pulling the control panel from the
frame.
Important: When opening, take caution to not damage any wiring. The drip tray can be opened slightly to support the
control panel.
To completely remove the control panel:
1. Follow steps 1-5 above.
2. Disconnect the main wire harness connections (A), the left light connection (B), the right light connection (C),
and the igniter wires (D). It is recommended to temporarily label the wires for reference when reconnecting.
See Fig. 34-1. When disconnecting, be sure to pull from the connectors, and not the wires.
Note: Secure any disconnected wires (coming from the inside of the grill) to prevent them from falling into the unit.
3. Carefully remove the control panel.
Note: Whenever reconnecting any wires, apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the male connector, then make
the connection. This will ensure conductivity and prevent moisture from affecting the contact.
Important: During reinstallation; prior to opening the gas shut-off valve, be sure the control knob(s) are in the OFF position.

the burner) and slightly pinch and remove the clip from
the burner support. See Fig. 35-2.
3. Carefully lift the burner from the burner support anchor peg
holes and out from the hole in the forward fire wall.
4. To replace the burner, slide the open cylindrical end of the
burner around the orifice, enveloping it and centering on
it. Then lower the back end anchor pegs into the burner
support anchor peg holes.
Note: It is critical to the continued safe functioning of the burners
that the orifices are centered and completely inside
the burner gas inlets.
5. Re-install the burner clip around the burner and into the
holes in the burner support.
