the LP tank could activate, releasing gas and cause an
intense fire with risk of property damage, serious
injury or death.
• NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in
enclosed areas.
• if you see, smell or hear escaping gas, immediately get
away from the LP tank/grill and call your fire
department.

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For
Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten
cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when
mixed with air.
LP Tank Filling
Useonly licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge tank before filling.
• Dealer should NEVERfill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank
volume. Volume of propane in tank will vary by temperature.

Match Lighting
1. Turn gas on at LP tank.
2. Hold fit match to any port on the burner. Push
in and turn sidebumer knob to HIGH.
Be sure burner lights and stays fit.
Before Your First Cookout
, Light burners, check to make sure they are lit, close the lid and
warm up grill on HIGH for 15 minutes. This curing of paint and
parts will produce an odor only on first lighting.
Burner Flame Check
, Light burner, rotate knobs from HI to LO. You should see a
smaller flame in LO position than seen on HI. Always check
flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to
"Sudden drop or low flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.

Turning Grill Off
, Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP tank off by turning
OPD hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Ignitor Check
• Turn gas off at LP tank, Press and hold ignitor button. "Click"
should be heard and spark seen each time between collector
box or burner and electrodes. See "Troubleshooting"if no click
or spark.
Valve Check
• important: Make sure gas is off at LP tank before checking
valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valves, first
push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs
do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill.
Turn knobs to LO position then turn back to OFF position.
Valves should turn smoothly.
General Grill Cleaning
, Keep the outside of your grill looking new by cleaning it once a
month with warm soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner. If
you don't have a grill cover, wipe off dust and grime before
starting your grill.
, Coating the cooking grids with spray-on cooking oil will keep the
food from sticking and make clean up easier. After cooking,
scrape the grates with a long handled, brass wire bristle brush.
, Check inside the grill bottom for grease build up and clean
often, especially after cooking fatty meat.
, Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely
air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
• Plated wire grates: Wash grates and V-bar with concentrated
grill cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and
store indoors between cookouts.
, Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
A Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut, worn or kinked.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only
valve/hose/regulator specified in the Parts List.
Normal Kinked
Hose Hose

Repainting Your Grill
, After extended use and exposure to weather, paint on grill may
deteriorate or become spotted.Although this detracts from
grill's appearance, it will not impair its performance.
, To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and bottom with
wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding
allows new paint to adhere more easily. Wash grill lid and
bottom with soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not
use a grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar.
Refinish outside with heat-resistant paint. Do not paint inside
of grill,

NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into
the burner tubes attached to the burners. The spiders spin
webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be
very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of
gas. Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning
of grilling season or after a period of one month not being
used.
Typical spider webs insideburner.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this
problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result
in a "flashback" (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still
light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the
burners.
iF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner(s) will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
immediately turn off gas at LP tank!
A After a burner tube fire, you must inspect the hose and
do a "Leak Test" to assure no damage has occured to
the parts,
SOLUTION:
Wait for grill to cool.
Follow the "Cleaning The Bumer Assembly" instructions.
Clean burners often. Use a 12" pipe cleaner to clean out the
burner tubes. You may also force a stream of water from a
hose nozzle through burner tubes to clean them.
Cleaning The Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP tank,
2. Remove cooking grids and vaporizer tents.
3. Remove two pal nuts, carry-over tube and burners.
4. Under grill remove grease pan and tray. Clean with soap and water.
5. Under console disengage ignitor wire.
6. Wipe ceramic electrode with rubbing alcohol and cloth.
7. Clean carry-over tube and burners exterior with soap and water. Lay
burners on flat surface, insert garden hose (preferably with nozzle),
into burner tubes forcing water through tubes. Make sure water
comes out of every porthole. Open clogged portholes with a thin
wire. Shake out excess water and examine porthole. Due to
normal wear and corrosion some portholes may become enlarged,
if so replace burner. If any horizontal cracks appear from porthole to
porthole or large holes (other than portholes) are found replace
burner.
8. If grill is to be stored, coat burners lightly with cooking oil. Wrap in
protective cover to keep insects out. If not storing use following
steps.
_-- Pal Nuts
..... Carry-OverTube
Burner
VERY _MPORTANT:
Burner tubes must engage valve openings as shown (A). Do not
leave separated as shown in Figure B.
9. Attach ignitor wire to electrode.
10. Reposition cooking grids and vaporizer tents. Place clean grease
tray and pan into grill bottom.
11. Before cooking again on grill, perform a "Leak Test"and "Burner
Flame Check"
A Do not use ceramic briquets or charcoal in your grill.
Correctly assembled burner tube and valve.
Cleaning the Grease Tray
Your grill is equipped with a removable grease tray.Although grease
will drain from the grease tray to the grease cup provided, food particles
and debris may accumulate in the bottom and should be removed after
cooking 5 to 10 times. This can easily be done by sliding the grease tray
out of the rear of the unit. Make sure in replacing the tray to push it all the
way forward.
463351505,25
Storing Your Grill
, Clean cooking grates.
, Store in dry location.
, When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in well-
ventilated space and out of reach of children.
, Cover grill if stored outdoors.
, Store grill indoors ONLY if LP tank is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
, When removing grill from storage follow "Cleaning Burner
Assembly" instructions before starting grill.
Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Usea clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at
1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00 am-
4:00 pm EST.
How To Tell if Meat is Grilled Thoroughly
* Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached
a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for
visual signs of doneness.
* Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F.Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
* Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach
160° F,and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°
F.All cuts of pork should reach 160° R
, NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
* When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F,or until steaming hot.
