2. Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive kitchen cleaners, cleaners that contain citrus products, or
mineral spirits.
3. Do not use aW type of steel bristled brush.
4. Clean your grill regularly to prohibit grease build-ups and avoid a grease fire or excessive flare-
ups.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES AND OTHER EXTERIOR 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. The
stainless steel used in the construction of your grill is 304 colmnercial grade. There are many specific stainless
steel cleaners available. Follow the manuthcturer'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 surthce.
COOKING GRATES, WARMING RACK, AND HEAT DIFFUSERS - use a stiffbrass brush. Wash with
warm water and mild dish soap as needed, rinse, and &y.
GREASE PAN AND TRAY - check after each use. Remove and empty the Tray when half full. Remove and
clean the Pan as grease builds up. Both can be washed with wama water and mild dish soap.
ELECTRONIC IGNITER - visually inspect for cracks. Replace if a crack is found. Do not use water to
clean the igniter.
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.
WARNING
Small insects, such as spiders, are able to access the burner robes. Sometimes they will build nests or spin
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 froln 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 robes, which can cause damage to your grill and/or personal iniury. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF
THE FLOW OF LP GAS AT THE CYLINDER BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL
CLOCKWISE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN. Wait tbr the grill to cool, and then clean all burners.

Grilling With Your New Grill
Welcome to the world of grilling. Whether you're already an established griller, or just starting out, your new
grill should bring you much enjoyment and satisfhction, to say nothing of some phenomenal meals. We
encourage you to experiment to find your own f:avorite recipes.
Your temperature control knobs are labeled "High", "Low", and "OFF'. Simply push in on the temperature
control knobs and turn to the desired heat setting. A thermometer is placed in the hood so that you can see the
cooking temperature inside the grill.
The heat diffusers are designed to help evenly distribute heat throughout the grill. They are also designed to
catch and smoke the right amount of drippings, adding more flavors to your meal.
DIRECT VS. INDIRECT COOKING
Food cooked on the grill is either done using direct or indirect cooking. Direct cooking is when the fbod is
cooked directly over the heat. Food is placed in-between the burners for indirect cooking.
DIRECT - used for preheating and searing
Use Direct cooking to sear meats. This helps to keep food 1hoist 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 to 500°F (260°C). You can shut offone or lnore burners if you do
not need to use the entire grilling surface once you reach over 500°F(260°C). You can also use a medium high
heat of 400°F or more by turning the burners down slightly. 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
Indirect cooking is used for foods that take longer to cook, including large cuts of meat such as roasts. It's also
used for cooking lnore delicate food that can dry out quickly such as fish and poultry, for fattier foods to reduce
flare-ups, and when grilling using a roasting pan or aluminum fbil. Preheat the grill to 500°F(260°C). Then
turn some burners oft; and others to medium to low depending on the temperature you want to maintain.
Generally, turn the center burner off for a 3-burner model and the 2 inside burners off on a 4-burner model.
Grills with more than 4 burners will vary depending on what you are cooking. Generally, you want to keep the
temperature around 350°F. Do not place the food directly over any burners when using this grilling method.
SIDE BURNER
Use the side burner to boil soups, corn on the cob, lobster, steam, stir-flies, or wam_.

2. Beefshouldreach145°F(63°C)tbr medium rare
3. Veal should reach 160°F (71°C) for medium and lamb should reach 145°F (63°C) tbr 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.
GRILLING TIPS AND TRICKS
1. Always "Preheat" your grill betbre cooking. Light all main burners, turn to "High", and close the lid
until the thermometer reads over 500°F (260°C), which should be 5 to 10 minutes. Then adjust the
burner control knobs to the proper temperature. Note that no preheating is necessary tbr the side burner.
2. The thermometer measures the temperature at the top of the lid. The temperature down by the cooking
grates is generally somewhat warmer.
3. Always cook with the lid down. This provides more even circulation of heat, and the food cooks faster.
Remember that heat is lost each time the hood is raised.
4. 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.
5. Trim away any excess fat from meat to reduce flare-ups.
6. Keep similar size portions together so that they cook more evenly.
7. Generally speaking, the more tbod on the grill, the longer the cooking time.
8. Be aware when using the Direct cooking method, as tbod can easily become overcooked, burned, or dry
out. Food may require more turning, or sometimes, may need to be moved off the flame.
9. Larger pieces of meat generally require more cooking time per pound than smaller pieces of meat.
10. Ifa maior flare-up, or too many flare-ups occur, turn offthe gas, move the tbod away from the flare-up,
and close the hood. Restart the grill once the flare-up has died down.
11. Turn tbods in[_equently. Generally, only turn a steak once during cooking.
12. Use tongs rather than a tbrk when turning the food on the grill. Less juice will be lost that way.
13. Know your sauce and when to apply. Oil and vinegar based sauces can be brushed on any time. Sugar
based sauces like barbecue sauce should be applied during the last few minutes of cooking.
14. A timer can help you keep t_om over-cooking the food.
15. Use insulated protective mitts or potholders when working around a grill in operation.
16. Use a small amount of cooking oil on the cooking grates before heating to reduce tbods sticking on the
grates.
FOOD SAFETY
1. Always use safe fi_od handling and preparation when using this grill.
2. Wash all poultry, seatbod, and vegetables betbre cooking.
3. Use separate platters, plates, and utensils fi_r uncooked and cooked foods.
4. Leave all meat, poultry, and seatbod in the ret_igerator until ready to cook.
5. Use a meat thermometer to ensure _bods are adequately cooked.

Trouble Shooting Guide
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 thilure or damaged hose. Order replacement part and replace.
6.) Maize sure you can hear the electronic igniter clicking. If not, replace the battery with an "AA" size.
Inspect tire electrode to be sure it's not coated in grease or dirt. If so, clean with robbing alcohol. Check
the distance i_oln tire electrode tip to the burner. The tip of the electrode should be 1/8" to _A"l_Oln the
main burner and 1/8" to 3/16" *_Olntire side burner. Adjust if necessary. Inspect the electrodes to be
sure they are not cracked or broken. If so, order replacement parts and replace.
7.) Blockage in the gas system. Inspect tire burners to be sure insects, spider webs, ere do not block them.
Clean if necessary. Inspect under tire control panel to be sure the burners 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.) Burners have a high grease or dirt build-up. Remove and clean.
4.) Burners are 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 offall burners. Discomrect regulator from tank.
Wait 10 minutes. Reconnect regulator and leak test. Slowly turn on LP tank and relight grill. Relight
the burner furthest from the LP cylinder first. Other ways the flow limiting device can be activated
include
a. A ruptured gas hose. Inspect, perform a leak test, and replace as necessary.
b. Opening the control knobs beibre 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.
3.) Wind could be blowing out your burners. Turn t}ont of grill to thce wind or move out of the wind.
EXCESSIVE FLARE-UPS
1.) Heat diffusers, 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. Try using indirect if using direct.
FIRE BEHIND CONTROL PANEL
Ilmnediately shut off cylinder valve and allow grill to cool.
1.) Check burners 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 i}om a faulty connection or damaged hose. Perform a leak test and inspect for leaks.
Tighten or replace parts as necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert my gas grill from one fuel source to another?
No. Your gas grill is manuthctured to specific standards developed by CSA and ANSI for your safety
and grilling perforlnance for either LP or Natural Gas. We do not offer conversion kits nor do we
recommend you change the fuel type.
What is the difference between 304 commercial series stainless steel and others?
304 series stainless steel is also called 18/8, which means that it contains 18% chrolniUln and 8% nickel.
The chrolnium gives the stainless steel its color and its corrosion resistant properties on the surthce. The
nickel, which is what differentiates 304 series stainless steel, hardens the surface tbr additional
protection. Some manuthcturers use a 430 series stainless steel, which is 18/0. It contains less that 1%
nickel. Therefore, it provides less corrosion protection and rust resistance. Our grills use only 304
series stainless steel. 304 series stainless steel is not magnetic, where 430 series stainless steel is.
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 offthe 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 humlning 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 I}Oln 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 t}om the LP taN<. 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 the heat diffusers. Grease drips down on to the diffusers
and is burned, creating steam and additional flavor.
