• Do not clean any part of your barbecue grill in a
self-cleaning oven.
• Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive kitchen
cleaners, cleaners that contain citrus products, or
mineral spirits.
• Do not use any type of steel bristled brush.
• Clean your grill regularly to prohibit grease build-
ups and avoid a grease fire or excessive flare-ups.
• Always wear protective gloves when cleaning your
grill.
Stainless Steel and Painted Surfaces
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water, A cloth,
soft brush, or plastic cleaning pad can be used. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry. There are many specific
stainless steel cleaners available. Follow the
manufacturer's directions. Always polish in the
direction of the lines. Do not allow dirt and grease to
accumulate. Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch
the surface.
In addition, the following products and naturally
occurring substances in the outdoors will damage all
stainless steel finishes. Use caution so that they do
not come in contact with your gas grill. Immediately
wash them off and dry the stainless steel should they
ever come in contact with your Gas Grill. These
include, but are not limited to, Pool Chemicals
(chlorine and bromine), Lawn Fertilizer, Ice Melting
Salts, Sea or Salt Water, Urine, Bird Droppings, and
Tree Sap. Store your grill 50 to 100 feet away
from a pool as many pool chemicals will cause
rust.
Porcelain Surfaces
Use a baking soda and water solution or nonabrasive
scouring powder for stubborn stains.
Cooking Grates, Warming Rack, and Heat
Diffusers
Use a stiff brass brush. Wash with warm water and
mild dish soap as needed, rinse, and dry.
Electronic Igniter
Visually inspect for cracks. Replace if a crack is
found.Do not use water to clean the igniter.
Electronic Ignition Maintenance
Your grill is equipped with electronic ignition. It's
powered by one AAA size battery. Replace the
battery when necessary. Unscrew the igniter top.
Place the new battery into the igniter with the
positive (+) end of the battery facing up. Screw the
igniter top back into place.

Remove the battery from the electronic ignition
when storing your grill.
Check the condition of the battery periodically
before use.
Burners
We recommend you clean your burners at least twice
a year, or before use if the grill has not been used in
over one month.
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 resulting in serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
Gas Valve Assembly
Burner Tube
Small insects and spiders are able to access the
burner tubes. Sometimes they will build nests or spit
webs. In either case, this can block or reduce the
amount of gas flowing through the burner, You will
usually see a smaller flame, or a flame that is mostly
yellow rather than blue, coming from the burner
when this happens. Other signs include the gill not
heating evenly, not reaching temperature, or burners
not igniting. In cases with severe blockage, this can
cause the flame to burn backwards, and outside of
the burner tubes, which can cause damage to your
grill and/or personal injury. IMMEDIATELY SHUT
OFF THE FLOW OF LP GAS AT THE CYLINDER BY
TURNING THE HAND WHEEL CLOCKWISE
SHOULD THIS HAPPEN. Wait for the grill to cool,
and then clean all burners.
When to Look for Spiders
You should inspect the burners at least twice a year
or immediately after any of the following conditions
Occur:
i, The smell of gas in conjunction with burner
flames appearing yellow.
2, The grill does not reach the temperature.
3, The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noise.
Cleaning the Main Burners
1. Ensure the LP gas is turned off at the LP cylinder,
2. Remove the cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3. Remove the Phillips head screws located at the
back end of each burner,
4. Lift each burner up and out.
5. Clean the inside of the burner using a stiff wire.
A straightened coat hanger is one suggested tool.
An alternative way to clean the inside of the
burner is using compressed air, Always wear eye
protection if using this method. Never enlarge
the burner ports during cleaning.
6. Brush the outer surface of the burner.
7. Ensure all ports (holes) are free of all debris.
8. Inspect the burner, Replace if any cracks or
enlarged holes.
9. Reinstall the burners making sure the burners
seat over the valves as shown in the figure below.
i0. Secure the back of the burners to the firebox
with the Phillips head screws.
il. Replace the heat diffusers and cooking grates.
i2. Perform a Leak Test described earlier in this
guide.
Properly locating the burner with respect to the
orifice is vital for safety.
Burner Flames
Always inspect the burner flame after lighting. A
good flame should be primarily blue with a yellow tip
and have a minimal amount of noise. Some yellow
tips are OK if under one inch.
New burners sometimes have oil residue, which will
cause yellow flame when burning off. Variations in
gas supply, altitude, weather, and other factors can
all impact burner performance.
Older grills can also show more yellow flame as food
deposits, oils, and fats can build up.
Good
Always
i. Keep the grilling area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
3. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder
enclosure free and clear from debris.
Grill Storage
i. Clean your grill before storage.
2. Storage of a gas grill indoors is permissible only
if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the gas grill.
3. Remove the battery from the electronic ignition.
4. Cover the grill.
5. Perform a Leak Test before use after storage.

KNOWING WHEN THE FOOD IS DONE
We strongly recommend using a meat thermometer.
Food cooked on a grill can brown very fast on the
outside, well before it's cooked on the inside. Many
factors can influence cooking times, including wind,
outdoor temperatures, and altitude. Therefore, it's
best to use a meat thermometer to ensure your food
has cooked long enough. Check with your specific
recipe, but for general guidelines:
1. Hamburgers, sausages, and all ground meat
should reach 160°F (71°C).
2. Beef should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium rare.
3. Veal should reach 160°F (71°C) for medium and
lamb should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium rare.
4. Pork should reach 160°F (71°C).
5. Poultry should reach 180°F(82°C), or 170°F(77°C)
for boneless pieces.
DIRECT VS. INDIRECT COOKING
Food cooked on the grilliseither done using director
indirectcooking. Directcooking iswhen the food is
cooked directlyover litburners. Food isplaced in-
between the litburners for indirectcooking.
DIRECT - used for preheating and searing
Use direct cooking to sear meats. This helps to keep
food moist by locking in juices. Some food, such as
steak, is first seared using direct cooking, and then
finished cooking using the indirect method. This is
generally used for quicker cooking foods. Preheat the
grill on "Hi" 5 to 10 minutes. Place the food directly
over the heat source. Remain vigilant when grilling
using this method, as it's easy to overcook.
INDIRECT - how most food is cooked on a gas
grill
Indirectcooking isused for foods that take longer to
cook, includinglarge cuts of meat such as roasts.
It'salso used for cooking more delicatefood that can
dry out quickly such as fishand poultry,for rattier
foods to reduce flare-ups, and when grilling using a
roasting pan or aluminum foil. Preheat the grill on
"Hi " 5 to 10 minutes. Then turn to medium or low
depending on the temperature you want to maintain.
Generally, you want to keep the temperature around
350°R Do not place the food directly over any
burners when using this grilling method. You can also
grill indirectly by turning one burner off and placing
GRILLING TIPS AND TRICKS
i. Always "Preheat" your grillbefore cooking. Turn
to "Hi" and close the lid.You willwant to preheat
until the thermometer reads over 400F (204°C),
which should be 5 to 10 minutes. Then adjust
the burner control knobs to the proper
temperature.
2. The thermometer measures the temperature at
the top of the lid. The temperature down by the
cooking grates is somewhat warmer.
3. Mother Nature can impact your grilling times.
Allow more cooking time for cold, wind, and
higher altitudes. We recommend you place the
grill in an area protected from much wind.
4. Trim away any excess fat from meat to reduce
flare-ups.
5. Keep similar size portions together so that they
cook more evenly.
6. Generally speaking, the more food on the grill,
the longer the cooking time.
7. Be aware when using the direct cooking method,
as food can easily become overcooked, burned,
or dry out. Food may require more turning, or
sometimes, may need to be moved off the flame.
8. Larger pieces of meat generally require more
cooking time per pound than smaller pieces of
meat.
9. If a major flare-up, or too many flare-ups occur,
turn off the gas, move the food away from the
flare-up, and close the hood. Restart the grill
once the flare-up has died down.

BURNER WILL NOT LIGHT
1. Gas supply is turned off. Turn on gas at LP
cylinder,
2. Out of propane. Check to be sure you still have
propane in your tank.
3. Regulator is not properly seated into the tank
valve. Remove and reattach. Hand tighten only.
4. Crimped fuel supply hose. Inspect and straighten.
5. Regulator failure or damaged hose. Order
replacement part and replace.
6. Make sure you can hear the electronic igniter
clicking. If not, replace the battery with an AAA
size. Inspect the electrode to be sure it's not
coated in grease or dirt, If so, clean with rubbing
alcohol. Check the distance from the electrode
tip to the burner, The tip of the electrode should
be 1/8" to 1/4" from the main burner, Adjust if
necessary. Inspect the electrode to be sure it's
not cracked or broken. If so, order replacement
parts and replace.
7. Blockage in the gas system. Inspect the burner
to be sure insects, spider webs, etc do not block
them. Clean if necessary. Inspect under the
control panel to be sure the burner are aligned
properly with the valves.
IRREGULAR FLAME OR YELLOW FLAME
1. New burner may have residual oil, which will
burn off.
2. Tubes in burners are blocked. Remove and clean.
3. Burner has a high grease or dirt build-up.
Remove and clean.
4. Burner is not aligned properly with the valves.
Inspect under the control panel.
SUDDEN DROP IN GAS PRESSURE OR FLAMES
BLOW OUT
1. Out of gas. Check to be sure you still have
propane in your tank.
2. Your excessive fuel flow valve has tripped,
thereby reducing the flow of gas. Turn off all
burners, wait 30 seconds, and relight grill. If
problem persists, turn off all burners. Disconnect
regulator from tank. Wait 10 minutes. Reconnect
regulator and leak test. Slowly turn on LP tank
and relight grill. Other ways the flow limiting
device can be activated include
a. A ruptured gas hose. Inspect, perform a leak
test, and replace as necessary.
26
3,
b. Opening the control knob before turning on
the LP gas at the cylinder. Turn on the gas
at the LP cylinder first before turning on a
control knob to light.
c. Improper purging of cylinder before it was
filled. See your LP gas dealer.
Wind could be blowing out your burner. Turn
front of grill to face wind or move out of the wind.
EXCESSIVE FLARE-UPS
1. Heat diffuser, inside of grill, grates, and burners
need to be cleaned.
2. Grease tray needs to be cleaned and emptied.
3. Using too high of heat to cook. Reduce control
knob setting.
4. Direct cooking method will produce more flare-
ups than indirect. If using direct method, try
using indirect.
FIRE BEHIND CONTROL PANEL
Immediately shut off cylinder valve and allow grill to
cool.
1. Check burner for obstructions and clean.
2. Inspect under the control panel to be sure the
burners are aligned properly with the valves.
3. Gas is leaking from a faulty connection or
damaged hose. Perform a leak test and inspect
for leaks. Tighten or replace parts as necessary.
Can I convert my gas grill from one fuel source
to another?
No. Your gas grill is manufactured to specific
standards developed by CSA and ANSI for
your safety and grilling performance for LP
Gas. We do not offer conversion kits nor do
we recommend you change the fuel type.
How are your grills tested?
Our grills are tested and certified by CSA, a
leading worldwide independent testing center,
to meet or exceed various CSA and ANSI
standards along with various performance
standards. The burners and gas line in each
grill are also individually tested when each
grill comes off the assembly line just prior to
packaging. Each burner is ignited for this test.
What is the humming noise I sometimes here
coming from my regulator?
The humming sound you can hear is just gas
flowing through the regulator. There is no
need to be concerned with a low volume of
noise.
My grill has a low flame on some burners, or
some burners will not light at all. What can
cause this?
This can be caused by the regulator's flow
limiting device, which is generated by a
sudden change in pressure. Opening the tank
valve too quickly can cause this. In this case,
close the LP tank valve and disconnect from
the regulator. Let it stand for 10 minutes.
Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank. Open
the grill lid. Slowly open the LP tank valve.
Follow the burner lighting procedures and
light the burner furthest from the LP tank.
Continue to light the other burners as you
move towards the LP tank.
Can I use ceramic plates, briquettes of any kind,
or lava rocks?
No. Your grill is designed for use only with
heat diffusers. Grease drips down on to the
diffusers and is burned, creating steam and
additional flavor.
