Note to Installer
Leave this Owner’s Guide with the customer after delivery and/or installation.
Read this Owner’s Guide carefully.
Be sure your grill is properly assembled, installed according to the assembly instructions.
Keep any packaging materials far away from children—these are a potential source of danger (e.g., of suffocation). Remove any stickers
from the appliance.
The grill is intended only for outdoor cooking and should never be used as a heater or any other purpose.
Your grill will get extremely hot. Never lean over the cooking area while using your grill. DO NOT touch cooking surfaces, grill and pellet
box housing lid, or pellet box while the grill is in operation, or until the grill has cooled down after use. Use suitable heat-protection
gloves, covering hands and forearms.
DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FLAME FLARE-UP
To protect against electric shock, DO NOT immerse cord or
plugs in water or other liquid. DO NOT place a grill cover or
anything flammable on or in the storage area under the
grill while it is in use. Should a grease fire occur, turn o
burners and keep lid closed until fire is extinguished.
WARNING
This is a liquid propane configured grill. DO NOT attempt to reconfigure for use with natural gas.
Keep electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces and route the power cord in such a way that no one can trip over it.
Connect ONLY to a GFCI grounded electrical outlet or extension cord employing a GFCI. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
grill where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. DO NOT cut or remove the ground prong from this plug.
DO NOT install and use portable or built-in outdoor cooking gas appliances in or on a recreational vehicle, portable trailer, boat or in any other moving
installation.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
DO NOT operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner.
DO NOT let the extension cord hang over the edge of a table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
DO NOT let appliance cord or extension cord touch hot surfaces.
Use only extension cords with a three-prong grounded plug, rated for the power of the appliance, and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended.

to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion which could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
OUTDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE
CAUTION
Use only the gas pressure regulator supplied with this appliance. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11 in w.c. ( 2.74 kPa).
Turn off LP supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use.
CAUTION
Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating label.
The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be
used.
The minimum ambient operating temperature for safe use of the appliance shall be 15° F (9° C).
DO NOT exceed a maximum load of 50 lb/22 kg for the side tables.
If you need to move the grill, unplug from extension cord, unlock wheels, move to new location, lock wheels.
DO NOT use a power washer to clean.
Check to ensure the burner tubes are assembled before using the gas grill. The location of the
burner tubes with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. If a burner tube does not fit over
the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
After igniting, check the color of the flames. They should be blue. (Slight yellow tipping is
normal for liquid propane gas.) The flames should be approximately 1" (2.5cm) high, but will be
slightly higher at the far left burner ports. If they ARE NOT, refer to the Cleaning section.
FLAME CHECK
INSECT AND SPIDER WEB SAFETY INSPECTION
CAUTION :
BEWARE OF FLASHBACK
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to
gas-flow obstruction that could result in a fire in and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as flashback and can cause severe damage
to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of flashback, it is the most common cause and can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
To reduce the chance of flashback, check and clean the burner/venturi tube for insects and insect nests. We recommend cleaning the burner
tubes at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. A clogged tube can lead to fire under the outdoor cooking
gas appliance. Also perform this cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period.
See how to clean the burner tubes and burners according to the cleaning instructions found in this owner's guide.
DANGER: FLAME AND FLARE-UP
Close lid and keep closed.
Turn dial to OFF.
Unplug from outlet.
Turn gas on tank to OFF.

ALWAYS ensure gas flow is OFF, Burner Dial is
in OFF position, and grill is unplugged before
cleaning or maintenance.
ALWAYS allow grill, accessories, and pellet box
to cool before any cleaning or maintenance.
We recommend you thoroughly clean the grill
regularly. Especially after every 20 hours of
cooking, 12 cooks, or completing a cook using
Low & Slow or Bake/Roast functions.
For regular maintenance, use a sponge with
liquid dish soap and water to clean any grease
and smoke residue. Ensure all parts are clean of
soap residue when done cleaning.
Pellet Box and Smoke Box Housing
Remove pellet box and safely discard all contents
after every use. It is not required to clean the
pellet box and smoke box housing after each
usewe recommend using a wire brush to
remove extra creosote after every 10 uses.
NOTE: Only use soap and water. DO NOT use
over the counter cleaning solutions on pellet box.
This may cause combustive or flare-up event.
Flame Tamers
The flame tamers catch any grease or other
dripping residue during grilling and protect
the burners to prevent clogging and flare-ups.
Remove the grill grates and set aside before
cleaning flame tamers.
Use a plastic scraper to clean any residue/
debris from the flame tamers. If necessary, a
stainless-steel grill brush may also be used.
Burners
Remove the grill grates and flame tamers before
cleaning burners. It is essential to keep both the
burner ports and mesh spider screens clean to
ensure safe operation.
Use a damp sponge to clean the top of the
burners and make sure they are fully air dried
before next use.
Mesh Spider Screens
Use a non-abrasive,
soft bristle brush to
clean the mesh spider
screens.
Inside of Firebox
Regularly check and clean the firebox to ensure
safe operation. Excessive grease accumulation
is a fire hazard. Use a plastic scraper to move
any debris buildup inside the firebox to the
opening that funnels down to the grease tray
and ensure grease tray is always emptied before
each use.
Firebox Lid
Use a stainless steel grill brush to scrape away
any colored flakes that resemble paint on
the inside of the lid. These flakes result from
carbonized grease and smoke and are harmless.
We recommend cleaning them as you notice
them to avoid them peeling o and falling into
food.
Grease Tray
Carefully remove cooled grease tray and safely
discard grease contents after each use. Hand-
wash grease tray in warm, soapy water. Grease
tray liners are available for purchase for easy,
hassle-free cleanup. Check grease tray and
dump any water or other contents after a rain or
snowstorm.
Grill Grates
We recommend cleaning the grates after every
few uses. Preheat the grill, use a stainless steel
grill brush to clean o any residue on the grates
from your previous cook, then oil the grates
before adding food.

SOAPY WATER TEST
Combine 1 tsp. soap with 1 cup of water in a
spray bottle.
Spray mixture on all of gas lines and
connection points.
If you see expanding large bubbles, then you
have a gas leak.
If you have a gas leak, shut o gas and call
customer service at 1-855-427-5125.
PROBLEM RESOLUTION
Gas flow issue
Ensure gas flow is o.
Unscrew regulator hose.
Screw regulator hose back on, ensuring
connection is not cross-threaded. Propane
tanks often have a fail-safe mechanism to
restrict flow of gas in the case of abnormal flow.
This can happen if the regulator hose is not
screwed on properly.
Low or empty propane tank Refill or replace tank.
Bent or kinked regulator hose
Ensure gas flow is o.
Straighten bent or kinked regulator hose.
Perform a soapy water test.
If soapy water test passes, problem has been
resolved.
If soapy water test fails, replace regulator hose.
Bent or kinked corrugated gas line
Ensure gas flow is o.
Straighten bent or kinked regulator hose.
Perform a soapy water test.
If soapy water test passes, problem has been
resolved.
If soapy water test fails, call customer service
1-855-427-5125 and do not use your grill.
Burner ports are dirty
Ensure gas flow is o, and burner dial is in
OFF position.
Clean burner ports
(Refer to Cleaning & Maintenance section.)
"TRN GAS OFF" error message appears
Grill is plugged in while ignition dial is not
in the O OFF position. Turn dial to O OFF
position.
Grill is running but temperature is not
responding to set point and is dropping
unexpectedly.
This could be caused by burner blowout or
low gas level. Turn ignition dial to O OFF,
then attempt to reignite flame. If reignition is
unsuccessful, check tank fuel level.

There is an "E" error on my control panel.
If you see any "E" error on the control panel, call customer service 1-855-427-5125.
Black specks are peeling from the inside of grill's lid.
These flakes result from carbonized grease and smoke and are harmless. We recommend cleaning
them as you notice them to avoid them peeling o and falling into food.
Where can I store my grill?
The grill is weather-resistant and may be stored outdoors. We recommend keeping the grill covered
when not in use.
How do I adjust which burners are on vs. o?
Use the Burner dial to adjust burners. Burner configuration varies based on what function/temperature
range is selected. Temperature range determines which burners are on/o. We’ve paired temperature
ranges with cooking functions to take the guesswork out of knowing what temperature to set for your
food.
What temperature ranges correlate to high, medium, and low?
High: 600°F
Medium: 400°F
Low: 200°F–300°F
My grill does not have power.
Make sure the grill is plugged in using a 3-prong grounded extension cord, rated for outdoor use.
How do I shut the grill o?
Turn the Burner dial to the OFF position. Check to make sure the burners are all o. Shut o the gas
supply (follow all instructions on propane tank.) Unplug the power cord if desired.
• The grill is experiencing flare-ups.
The grill should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. See the Cleaning section.
I am not seeing grill marks or charring on my food.
If you are not seeing grill marks or charring on your food, try adjusting the temperature in your
selected cooking function, or changing cooking functions to access a higher temperature range. The
grill grates are reversible. Keep the flat side of the grates facing up for better direct contact with food.
How do I cook directly and indirectly?
Direct cooking: You can cook directly by using the Grill/Pizza or 2-Zone function. Indirect Cooking: You
can cook indirectly with any function by placing food on the top rack, using the back zone with the
2-Zone function, or using the Roast/Bake or Low & Slow function. See the Direct and Indirect Cooking
section for more information.
Grill noises observed.
You may notice some noises coming from your grill. The following noises are normal and are part of
the standard grill operation: During burner ignition, you may hear a ticking (like igniting a gas stove), a
whoosh from the visible flames, minor rattling from the fan, or creaking due to material expansion from
weather.
Why are my burners discolored?
The burners may have some visible discoloration. This is a result of our normal manufacturing process.
To ensure optimal performance, we test each individual grill before it gets to you.
NOTE: If troubleshooting is unsuccessful, call customer service 1-855-427-5125.

When working with gluten-free
dough, use cornmeal to help
prevent sticking to the counter
or pizza peel.
If your dough is too crumbly,
add about 1 Tbsp water and
work it into the dough until it
comes together.
If your dough is too wet or
batter-like, add about 1 Tbsp
flour until it turns into a more
workable dough.
To enhance crust
browning, brush the dough
lightly with olive oil before
cooking.
If cooking pizza below 500°F,
bake the dough separately
for about 5 minutes, then add
toppings and finish baking.
GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA TIPS
While unit is preheating,
flour a clean, dry, flat
surface (such as a
countertop), then use your
hands or a rolling pin to
stretch out the dough. As
you stretch or roll out the
dough, add more flour as
needed to prevent sticking.
Make sure dough is not stuck
to the countertop. If dough
sticks, add more flour under
it. Then top it in this order:
sauce (spread evenly, leaving
a border), cheese, meats and/
or veggies (don’t overdo
it—use a moderate amount of
toppings to prevent a soggy,
undercooked pizza).
Flour the pizza peel, then
gently slide it under the
pizza and give it a couple
hearty shakes. Bring it
directly to the oven.
DOS AND DOUGH-N’TS
The pizza peel, dough,
and toppings should be at
room temperature. Dough is
easiest to stretch and slide o
the peel at room temperature.
Ensure there are no holes in
the dough, as the sauce can
leak through and cause the
pizza to stick to the peel.
If the dough sticks to the pizza
peel, use a quick back and
forth motion to release it. The
pizza’s momentum will help it
move forward so you can slide
it o the peel onto the pizza
stone.
PIZZA PEEL TIPS
TIP: Wait until the pizza stone is preheated before adding toppings. The pizza may be stickier if it
sits with wet toppings for an extended period before cooking.
PIZZA | PIZZA-MAKING TIPS & TRICKS
The pizza peel, dough, and toppings should
be at room temperature. Dough is easiest to
stretch and slide o the peel when at room
temperature.
If the dough is too wet and sticky, add a
generous sprinkling of flour to both it and the
peel before stretching out the dough.
Ensure there are no holes in the dough, as the
sauce can leak through and cause the pizza
to stick to the peel.
Before adding toppings, give the peel a shake
to ensure the dough moves freely. If not, pick
up the dough and add more flour to the peel .
Do not leave the dough on the peel for a long
time before cooking.
If the dough sticks to the peel, use a quick
back-and-forth motion to release it. The
pizza’s momentum will help it move forward
so you can slide it o the peel onto the pizza
stone.
PIZZA DIDNT COME OUT AS EXPECTED?
DON’T GET STUCK
TIPS & TRICKS
When working with raw dough, lightly flour
the work surface to prevent sticking. NOTE:
If using a Ninja Pizza Peel, adding flour to
the peel will also help prevent sticking when
transferring your pizza to the stone.
Make sure the stone is in the unit while
preheating.
If storing premade, store-bought dough,
place it in an air-tight container or sealed bag
and freeze within one day. Be sure to bring
the dough to room temperature before using.
This is just to make sure your dough won't
stick. Prep the pizza o the peel on another
surface.
If buying dough from your local pizzeria, make
sure to use the same day or freeze.
Possible Reason Solution
Pizza stone was too hot.
Reduce the cook temperature if the dough is thicker than
recommended above.
Pizza stone wasn’t
hot enough.
Be sure to preheat the stone. If it isn’t preheated to the correct
temperature, the top of the pizza can burn while the underside
doesn’t fully cook.
Dough was too thick.
Roll out the dough to an even thickness according to the
recommendations above.
Too many toppings, or the
toppings were too wet.
Use fewer toppings, make sure they’re as dry as possible, and
distribute them evenly.
Dough had too much sugar
or oil in it.
Sugar burns more quickly than the rest of the dough, and oil
speeds up the baking process, so use less—or none—of these
additives to help avoid burning.
Too much flour on the Pizza
stone or dough.
Keep the stone clean, and use the Ninja Pizza Peel when transferring
uncooked pizza to the oven—the perforations will allow excess flour
to fall through before cooking.
NOTE: Do not leave your dough on the peel for an extended time before cooking.
TIP: Make sure to add flour to the pizza peel, the dough, and your workspace
