release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace
valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn
back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace
damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator as
specified in the parts list of this Use & Care Guide.
General Grill Cleaning
• 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.
•
Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can
be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially
formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn
stains.
•
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and
warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Cast Iron Grate Seasoning (if applicable)
First Use –Before first use, season cast iron grates as follows: Rinse
cast iron grates with hot water. Do not use soap. Dry grates thoroughly
with a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking
spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly raise temperature
to 350° - 400° F. Heat grates for one hour. Turn off grill and allow
grates to cool completely before using to cook.
Cleaning – Do not use soap when cleaning grates. Clean grates with
a stiff brush and hot water. Dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel.
Re-seasoning – Re-season grates when rust spots appear on
grate surface. When re-seasoning grates, soap may be used with
hot water to clean grates. After cleaning, dry grates thoroughly with
a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick
cooking spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly
raise temperature to 350° - 400° F. Heat grates for one hour.
Turn off grill and allow grates to cool completely before using again.
10•146.22124910
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on drip
deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning
pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do
not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill
cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking
surfaces while grill is hot.
•Drip Tray and Cup: Regularly clean the drip drippings from the
Drip Tray and Drip Cup. When the grill has completely cooled
down after use, remove the cup from the tray and slide the tray
out of the grill. Clean the drip drippings from the cup and tray
surfaces by washing with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner
and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Slide the tray back into the grill and replace the cup back into
the tray before using the grill again.
CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes
are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in
which spiders tend to build nests.
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check
and clean the venturi’s.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback”
problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s
venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-
up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known
as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
Storing Your Grill
•Clean cooking grates.
•Store in dry location.
•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well-
ventilated space and out of reach of children.
•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers
offered by manufacturer once available.
•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner
A
s
sembl
y
” instructions before starting grill.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1.
Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3. Remove cotter pin from rear of burners. See Fig. A next page.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest
for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner
tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and
corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See
illustrations below.
8. Carefully replace burners.
9. Attach burners to brackets with cotter pin. See Fig. B next page.
10. Replace heat diffusers and cooking grates

Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill
by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit
burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or
poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly
reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no
direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.
1 Burner Cooking
Cook with direct or indirect heat.
Best for smaller meals or foods.
Consumes less fuel.
Indirect Cooking Instructions
• Always cook with the lid closed.
• Once burners are lit, extinguish an individual burner by turning its
knob to OFF.
• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold
and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be
increased to insure sufficient cooking heat.
• Place food over unlit burner(s).
2 Burner Cooking
Great indirect cooking on low.
Produces slow, even heating.
Ideal for slow roasting and
baking.
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. Use a 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° F.
• 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.
WARNING: To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be
