The air shutter adjustment screws are accessible with a flat

screwdriver by removing the burner. Loosen the screw of the air shutter. Reinstall the burner. Make certain

that the burners are sitting properly on the orifices taking care not to move or damage the igniter electrode.

LEAK TESTING:

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Although all gas connections on your Artisan

Grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a

complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in

shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.

Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

In order to check for leaks, it is necessary to connect and pressurize the grill with the fuel supply system of

your choice such as a local liquid propane (LP) tank system or a fixed piped system of natural gas (NG) or

a remote LP system.

Follow the fuel connection instructions in this manual prior to conducting any leak testing.

GRILL BURNERS LIGHTING:

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting !.

Lift the hood, depress the igniter button for the burner you are trying to light, and immediately push and turn

the burner control knob counter-clockwise to the “HI” position and wait for the burner to light. (See

illustration below).

NOTE: The first burner may take longer to light while air is purged from the gas supply system.

If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to allow any

accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, then it

can be lit with a match.

Keep your face away from the grill as far as possible and pass a lit, long stem match through the notch in

the grill rack to the ports of the burner you are trying to light. When attempting to light a burner with a

match, ensure that the correct burner control knob is used.

Position the match near the burner ports. Push and turn the control knob to “HI”. Repeat procedure on each

burner if necessary. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds turn the knob OFF, wait 5 minutes and try

again. If the burner will not light after several attempts see page 34: Troubleshooting.

To assure that an IR burner is lit, very carefully

place your hand 8-10 inches away from the

burner surface. If you do not feel the heat of the

burner, shut off control knob, wait five minutes,

and attempt to relight.

SIDE BURNER LIGHTING:

Push and turn the side burner right hand control knob to the “HI” position and immediately depress the

igniter button. You’ll hear a snapping sound from the spark which is being generated at the side burners. It

is necessary to keep the igniter button depressed until the burner is lit.

If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knobs to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to allow any accumulated

gas to dissipate before trying again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, then it can be lit with a

match.

NOTE: To ensure proper spark ignition, do not change the gap between the electrode wires and the

burners. The optimum gap is preset at the factory between 1/8” and 3/16”.

ROTISSERIE BURNER LIGHTING:

Open the lid, press the igniter button (see page 8) and then turn the control knob to the “HI” position. If the

burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the control knob to “Off”, wait five minutes and attempt to

relight. If the igniter does not function, you can light the burner by holding a lit match to the burner (with the

control knob at the “HI” position).

After your first use of the rotisserie burner it is likely that the stainless steel adjacent and directly above the

burner will darken to a dark blue color. This is a normal property of the corrosion resistant, type 304

stainless steel used in the manufacturing of your barbecue, and is not detrimental to its operation.

PREHEATING THE GRILL (U-BURNERS):

Preheating the grill is important for best performance. To preheat the grill when cooking with the U-burners,

close the hood after lighting the burners as described above. Set the grill control knobs on “HI” for 15

minutes.

PREHEATING THE GRILL (IR-BURNERS):

Preheating the IR burners is important to protect them from food drippings. After lighting the IR burners as

described above, allow to preheat on “HI” for four minutes before beginning to grill.

If your grill is equipped with a SEAR-ZONE IR BURNER, light and preheat the U-BURNERS first, then

light and preheat the SEAR-ZONE IR BURNER.

PREHEATING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER:

Light the rotisserie burner as described in the lighting instructions. Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach

cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS:

NOTE: Artisan grills are available with both U-burners and IR burners. The following instructions apply

only to the U-burners. IR burners do not require adjustment and need only be checked visually for proper

performance. On high, an IR burner should glow red evenly over its entire surface.

U-BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT:

Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas

supply, elevation and other factors might make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the

burners should be visually checked and compared with illustration on page 25.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.

If any of these conditions exist, check if dirt, debris, spider webs, etc., are blocking the air shutter or burner

ports. Proceed with air shutter adjustment.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT:

A sheet metal cap at the inlet of the burner called the “AIR SHUTTER” regulates the amount of air that

enters into the burner for combustion. The air shutter is locked in place by a screw, which must be loosened

prior to lighting the burner for adjustment.

The air shutter adjustment screws are accessible with a flat screwdriver by removing the burner. Loosen

the screw of the air shutter. Reinstall the burner. Make certain that the burners are sitting properly on the

orifices taking care not to move or damage the igniter electrode.

Light the burners and adjust according to the following directions:

• Turn the valve on “HI”, light the burner and allow it to “WARM UP” for 10 minutes.

• If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to

allow more air into the burner.

• If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, (WITH THE BRIQUETTE

TRAYS IN POSITION) indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise to reduce the

amount of air to the burner.

• Retighten the locking screw of the air shutter cap.

NOTE: Be careful, as the burner could be and / or will become very hot after lighting it.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Keep the outdoor cooking gas appliance 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 opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure (if any) free and clear from debris;

4. Visually check burner flames.

For additional information regarding burner flames or adjustments please refer to page 26 and 27 of

this manual.

5. Clean the outdoor cooking gas appliance, including special surfaces, if necessary with

recommended cleaning agents (see detailed cleaning information on pages 30 through 31); and

• Have it’s own GFCI protected

branch circuit power supply.

• Have a minimum airflow of 1200

CFM’s for baffled filtered hoods or

900 CFM’s for non-baffled filtered

hoods.

• Installed at a least 30” over the

cooking surface.

• Hood intake area should be at least

3” ~ 6” bigger (side to side and front

to back) than the grill’s cooking sur-

face area.

NOTE:

Heavy and fast rising smoke is a

challenging situation for any exhaust

hood or vent system.

Constant wind or wind drafts will also

affect the ability of the exhaust hood to

catch smoke during operation.

If the BBQ grill is located in a

consistently windy area such as near

the ocean side, large lakes or on a

hillside property, a wind-break type

of construction may be required for

proper operation.

BUILT-IN APPLIANCES GAS CONNECTION - NATURAL GAS (NG)

NEVER CONNECT THE GRILL TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY.

Before proceeding, ensure the unit is fitted for natural gas (regulator settings as well as orifices). Connect-

ing to an improper gas type will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. Installa-

tion of this cooking appliance must be made in accordace with local codes. In the absence of local codes,

this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Natural

Gas and Propane Installation code CSA B149-1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code B149.2.

NATURAL GAS CONNECTION:

Ensure that the service pipe supplying the Grill is fitted with a shut off valve conveniently positioned and

easily accessible as an emergency gas shutoff.

Your Artisan Grill for use with natural gas comes equipped with its own regulator which MUST NOT be

removed. If this regulator needs to be replaced use only the type specified by Artisan Grill for this appli-

ance.

To connect the regulator and flex hose assembly follow the next steps:

1. Locate the regulator and gas connection point in the rear right side of your BBQ unit

2. Attach a 1/2” FPT x 1/2” MPT (male-to-female) elbow to the regulator (see diagram below).

3. Attach a 1/2” MPT x 1/2” ODF (compression flare fitting) connected to the elbow.

4. Connect to gas supply using a 1/2” Ø minimum flexible (semi-rigid) stainless steel gas hose.

The hose as well as the connectors must comply with the Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appli-

ances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75 and CAS 6.27.

BUILT-IN APPLIANCES GAS CONNECTION - LP CYLINDER ENCLOSURES

When the outdoor cooking gas appliance is installed in a built in enclosure that requires the use of LP by

means of a gas cylinder, the use of the gas appliance tank drawer ARTP-18LPTDR-SC is highly

recommended. Refer to the ARTP-18LPTDR-SC specification sheet for installation.

The construction requirements for an LP-cylinder enclosure, should be such that the resultant construction

complies with the requirements of ANSI Z21.58 - 2022 Clause 4.6

CAUTION THE ABOVE CODE IS THE MINIMUM. MORE VENTILATION IS RECOMMENDED AS IS

ALWAYS SAFER.

TANK RETENTION POINTS:

When the ARTP-18LPTDR-SC cylinder gas drawer is installed in the built-in construction, the typical

standard 20 Lbs. (5 Gallons) LP cylinder rests on the center of the tank tray and it is retained in place

(preventing the tank from tipping sideways) by the design of the drawer itself. The cylinder can rotate freely

but can’t fall out of the drawer tray or tip over.

LP REGULATOR HOSE ASSEMBLY RETENTION:

In addition to retaining the LP tank, it is also required to properly support the LP Regulator / Hose Assembly

and prevent the unit from falling to the ground during LP tank exchanges as per ANSI Z21.58 regulations.

For this purpose, when installing the included LP Regulator and Hose Assembly, fasten the assembly to the

ARTP-18LPTDR-SC frame with the included Regulator & Hose lanyard.

BUILT-IN APPLIANCE LP GAS CONNECTION TO A REMOTE LP GAS SUPPLY SYSTEMS:

A remote LP Fuel System is one with a large central LP tank that feeds the entire household. Those

systems are normally equipped with a high pressure regulator by the large LP tank and low pressure

regulators close to the home.

For this type of installation:

• DO NOT use the LP small tank regulator supplied with the unit (such as the one shown on page

10 with a QCC1 type connection).

• Connect the gas line for this type of installation directly to the unit’s convertible gas pressure

regulator in similar fashion as a typical NG gas connection (See page 17) using a flexible hose

connected to a required gas shut-off valve.

• NOTE: The convertible gas pressure regulator must be set for LP gas. (The factory pre-sets the

regulator in LP units).

• The connectors used shall the those provided with this appliance or those specified on page 6 of

this manual. Such rigid pipes, semi-flexible tubing and connectors must comply with the

Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75

and CAS 6.27, and suitable for outside installation. The maximum length of the connection must

be 6 Ft. (1.82 m)

• The connector and primary shut-off valve should be accessible through door opening in the built-

in enclosure.

• All the rigid pipes, flexible tubing or gas connectors should be as short as possible in order to be

self supporting, otherwise they must be supported by mechanical means (ie: enclosure framing

plus additional pipe support straps or clamps) in order to minimize vibration.

• All the rigid pipes, flexible tubing or gas connectors must be protected as they pass through

openings in the compartment of the built-in enclosure according to ANSI Z21.58 2022 Clause

4.6

For all other types of rigid pipe, semi-rigid tubing, and/or connectors available to connect an appliance to a

fixed fuel piping system that can be obtained at plumbing stores, supply warehouses or home centers, the

connection must be made with by the use of a rigid pipe, semi-rigid tubing, and/or connectors that comply

with ANSI Z21.75 and CSA 6.27 standards.

BUILT-IN APPLIANCE INFORMATION FOR A REMOTE LP FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEMS TESTING:

When the Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliance is meant to be used with other than self contained LP gas

supply systems the following information should be taken into consideration during testing:

• The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from

the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in

excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)

• The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by

closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping

system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

(PROVIDED BY Artisan )

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT: (MAXITROL UNITS ONLY)

1– To convert the Maxitrol

pressure regulator from NG to LP (or vice-versa) , remove the brass cap

located on the large round dome of the regulator body. The cap has a sealing washer; do not lose or

damage this sealing washer as it is required for a gas tight seal. (see illustration on page 12)

2– Located on the cap is also a black plastic plunger. This plunger provides the correct pressure to a

spring located inside the body of the regulator. It is necessary to reverse the direction of the plunger

so it provides the right amount of pressure to the spring inside the body of the regulator.

To reverse the plunger pull it out of the brass cap by pushing it sideways until it snaps and pops out.

3– The plunger is labeled “NAT” or “LP” for natural gas or liquid propane. (see illustration on page 12).

The regulator is set to the correct pressure according to the way the plunger faces the regulator

body. If the plunger label reads ”NAT” towards” the body of the regulator , it will be set for natural

gas. If it reads “LP” it will be set for liquid propane.

Pressure Regulators cont.

PLUNGER DETAIL:

The regulator plunger is labeled “NAT” for Natural gas or “LP”

for liquid propane. (The “LP” side has a wide disk on the end.)

The side facing the body of the regulator determines what

use is the regulator set for.

Example: The image above is showing a regulator set for nat-

ural gas.

4– Once the regulator plunger has been reversed for it’s appropriate use and snapped back into the brass

cap, re-install the cap with the sealing washer back into the body or the regulator.

The regulator pressure conversion is complete.

LEAK TESTING:

GENERAL:

Although all gas connections on your Artisan Grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a

complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in

shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.

Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING:

• Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill.

• Make sure the burner tie-down straps are removed from the unit.

• Do not smoke while leak testing.

• Never leak test with an open flame.

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.

• Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle, or brush.

• For LP units, always check with a full cylinder.

READ THIS CARE AND USE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE USING YOUR

GRILL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR OTHER INJURY. KEEP THIS

MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

When properly cared for, your Artisan Grill will give safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme

care must be used since the grill produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential. When using this

appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, including but not limited to the following:

• Begin by ensuring proper assembly. A qualified technician should perform all other service.

• All other service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.

• For personal safety, wear proper apparel while barbecuing.

• Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance.

• Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

• Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate,

burner or hot surface until it has cooled down sufficiently. Fabrics may ignite and result in personal injury.

• Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause personal burns from steam. Do

not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill rack.

• Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill

use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat

settings and according to their manufacturer’s directions.

• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.

• Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill by cleaning the grease tray often. Never while

grill is on or hot from recent use; pan will not come out.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks, nor to line the drip tray. This can severely upset combustion

airflow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs, igniters and

increased chance of personal injury. Never grill without the drip pan in place and pushed all the way to the

back of the grill. Without the drip pan, hot grease can leak downward creating a fire or explosion hazard.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to

sit, stand or play on or around the grill. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or in

the cart. Never allow children to crawl inside of the cart.

• Do not heat unopened food containers that may cause the container to build-up pressure and burst.

• Protect your hand when opening a hot grill lid. Never lean over an open hot grill.

• When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are

depressing the correct button, labeled for the igniter.

• When using the grill: do not touch the grill rack, burner grate, hood or immediate surrounding area as

these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only the handles and knobs provided

for operation of the grill.

• For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean

them periodically for optimum performance. The burners will only operate in one position and must

be mounted correctly for safe operation.

• Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while

it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite when applied to a hot surface.

• INSECT WARNING: Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and other grills, and cause the

gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to

occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the

grill at least twice a year.

• Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or

around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or

cause metal parts to corrode.

• Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surfaces. Use only in well ventilated are-

as. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or any enclosed areas.

• Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and

vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion gases and ven-

tilation airways.

• Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.

• If the unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. If propane is used, the cylinder must be unhooked and

the propane cylinder stored outside in a well-ventilated area, out of reach of children.

• Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area, oceanfront, mountaintop,

etc... a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances.

• Keep any electrical supply cord, away from the heated areas of the grill.

• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products, which promote flare-ups.

PREHEATING THE GRILL:

U-BURNERS:

Preheating the grill is important for best performance. To preheat the grill when cooking with the U-

burners, close the hood after lighting the burners as described above. Set the grill control knobs on “HI”

for 15 minutes.

IR-BURNERS:

Preheating the IR burners is important to protect them from food drippings. After lighting the IR burners

as described above, allow to preheat on “ON” for four minutes before beginning to grill.

If your grill is equipped with a SEAR-ZONE

IR BURNER, light and preheat the U-BURNERS first, then

light and preheat the SEAR-ZONE IR BURNER.

ROTISSERIE BURNER:

Light the rotisserie burner as described in the lighting instructions. Once lit, the rotisserie burner will

reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS:

NOTE: grills are available with both U-burners and IR burners. The following instructions apply

only to the U-burners. IR burners do not require adjustment and need only be checked visually for proper

performance. On high, an IR burner should glow red evenly over its entire surface.

U-BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT:

Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local

gas supply, elevation and other factors might make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the

burners should be visually checked and compared with figures on next page.

If any of these conditions exist, check if dirt, debris, spider webs, etc., are blocking the air shutter or burn-

er ports. Proceed with air shutter adjustment.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT:

A sheet metal cap at the inlet of the burner called the “AIR SHUTTER” regulates the amount of air that

enters into the burner for combustion.

The air shutter is locked in place by a screw, which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for ad-

justment. The air shutter adjustment screws are accessible with a screwdriver by removing the burner.

Loosen the screw of the air shutter. Reinstall the burner. Make certain that the burners are sitting properly

on the orifices taking care not to move or damage the igniter electrode.

Light the burners and adjust according to the following directions:

• Turn the valve on “HI”, light the burner and allow it to “WARM UP” for 10 minutes.

• If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to

allow more air to the burner. *Caution, see note below.

• If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, (WITH THE BRIQUETTE

TRAYS IN POSITION) indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise to reduce

the amount of air to the burner.

• Retighten the locking screw of the air shutter cap.

*NOTE: Be careful, as the burner may be or will become very hot after lighting it.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.

OPERATING THE GRILL:

U-BURNERS:

The grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and

are side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease

and debris.

Above the burners there are stainless steel briquette

trays with ceramic briquettes. The briquette tray is a

fundamental part for the performance of the grill. Do not

cook on the grill without them.

Make sure the briquette tray is installed properly before

lighting the burner. Each grill burner has its own igniter.

The burners are locked in the proper position within the

barbeque unit by the inlet port where the valve orifice

stem is located, the shutter adjustment screw notch and

the rear mounting bracket at the back of the grill cavity.

USING THE GRILL:

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper

browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat setting

for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat

or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This method will

cook the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary

marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat period, the faster the meat

browns and the darker the sear marks. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired brown level.

Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LOW”.

DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.

SEAR-ZONE

- IR BURNERS:

An IR grill works by producing intense heat which quickly sears the

meat. Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer

surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as

grease and drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a

crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside. Just the result

you want with most grilled foods. Sear-Zone

burners are located

in their proper position by the inlet port and the rear bracket

support of the burner area.

USING THE GRILL:

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. The

intense infrared heat produced by your Artisan Grill meets these requirements perfectly. Meat is cooked

evenly throughout, while juices grease and food particles are vaporized upon contact with the burner,

giving added flavor to your food.

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. Proper preheating browns the meat and produces

darker sear marks. Place the food on the grill and sear both sides as recommended on the “Infrared Grill-

ing Tips” section on page 30. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.

ROTISSERIE BURNERS:

Your

Artisan Grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie cooking. The location of the rear

burner allows the placement of the rotisserie basting pan (not included) beneath the food to collect juices

and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of

the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic,

or spices.

To assure that an IR burner is lit, very carefully place your

hand 8-10 inches away from the burner surface. If you do

not feel the heat of the burner, shut off control knob, wait five

minutes, and attempt to relight.

ROTISSERIE MOTOR:

The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 25 Lb. cut of meat or poultry, with a maximum diameter of

10”. The rotisserie motor is electrically grounded by it’s own plug, therefore the motor must be installed in

accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70-1990.

SKEWER:

The skewer for the rotis-

serie is assembled into

the skewer coupler

(located in the motor) by

placing the pointed end

into the square opening

of the coupler. The oth-

er end of the skewer

(round shaft end) rests

in the slot in the oppo-

site end of the barbecue.

To load the skewer, slide the meat holders with the prongs facing towards the center the skewer bar. Push

the skewer through the center of the food, and then slide the second meat holder (prongs toward the food)

onto the skewer.

Center the product to be cooked on the skewer then push the meat holders firmly together. Tighten the

thumb nuts of the meat holders with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s string

(never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any loose portions. Once the food is secure, insert the skewer

into the coupler.

Start the motor with the switch located on the end of the motor.

ROTISSERIE BASTING PAN:

Place a pan onto the grill racks (or, if necessary, directly onto

the briquettes if the grill racks are removed to accommodate

large cuts of meat). This pan is required to catch drippings

from the meat being cooked, preventing grease build-up on

the briquettes or Sear-Zone IR Burner.

ROTISSERIE GENERAL COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

As a general rule, rotisserie cooking will take 15 ~ 20 minutes per pound of meat. Keep the hood closed as

much as possible to improve performance.

INFRARED GRILLING TIPS:

Even for an experienced chef, infrared cooking can, at first, present a bit of a challenge. By following these

simple tips, you will soon be producing juicier, more flavorful foods than you have ever experienced before.

As a general rule, foods will cook in less time than they would take on an

ordinary grill. By turning food frequently (approximately every 2 minutes), excessive charring is simply

avoided.

Artisan

RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TURN FOOD BEING GRILLED ON A SEAR

ZONE IR-BURNER EVERY TWO MINUTES DURING THE COOKING PERIOD.

NEVER ALLOW FOOD TO COOK MORE THAN 2 1/2 MINUTES WITHOUT TURNING.

SEARING IS THE KEY:

An infrared grill works by producing intense heat which quickly sears meats. Searing locks in flavor and

juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and

drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.

Just the result you want with most grilled foods.

HOW TO GRILL WITH IR:

Properly pre-heat the grill by following the lighting instructions on page 7 and 8. Place food on grill grids

and turn every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until food is cooked to desired taste. Do not let food cook more than 2 1/2

minutes without turning. Perfect cross sear marks can be made by rotating food 90° at each turn.

APPROXIMATE SEAR-ZONE COOKING TIMES:

 These are recommended times only. Due to the variations on the cuts of meats and personal taste, your

cooking times may be different. Use your discretion when cooking with Artisan

Sear-Zone IR-

Burners.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE:

Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen equipment because of its strength, its

ability to resist corrosion and its ease of cleaning. In fact, stainless steel ranks alongside glass and new

china in terms of “ease of cleaning” and in percentage removal of bacteria during washing. As a result of

these virtues, the metal is often taken for granted and it is assumed that no problems will arise during its

usage. However, some care is required to ensure that the stainless steel can live up to this reputation.

DAY TO DAY CARE:

To maintain the original appearance of your Artisan Grill, a regular cleaning routine should be

carried out using the following guidelines:

1. After use, following the safety precautions detailed on page 4 and 5, wipe the Grill with

a soft damp soapy cloth and rinse with clean water, preferably warm/hot water. This

should remove most substances encountered during the grilling process.

2. For more tenacious deposits, including oil, grease and water-borne deposits, use a multi

purpose cream cleanser and apply with a soft damp cloth. Rinsing with fresh water, as

described above, should follow as a last step.

3. For really stubborn dirt or burned-on grease, a nylon-scouring pad may be used in

conjunction with the cream cleanser. On no account should “wire wool” pads be used

unless they are made of stainless steel.

4. Harsh abrasives and scouring materials should not be used for cleaning stainless steel

as they will leave scratch marks in the surface and damage the appearance of the Grill.

Likewise do not use wire brushes, scrapers or contaminated scouring pads.

5. Your

Artisan Grill has a directional polished grain, any cleaning with abrasives

should be carried out along this grain direction and not across it.

6. After use, always remove wet cleaning aids (such as cloths, pads, containers) from the

surface, to avoid formation of water marks or stains.

7. If necessary, dry the Grill after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.

If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your

Artisan Grill should offer excellent life and should

live up to its reputation of being “stainless”.

Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to deterioration of the surface and, in some extreme cases,

corrosion of the steel itself. The two most common types of corrosion that may be encountered,

particularly on stainless steel, are rust marks and pitting of the surface.

RUST-BROWN MARKS:

The rust marks are more likely to be the result of small particles of “ordinary-steel” which have become

attached to the surface; these have subsequently rusted in the damp environment. The most common

source of such particles is from “wire-wool” scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from

carbon steel utensils and old cast iron water supply pipes.

These brown marks are only superficial stains, which will not harm the Grill; they should be removable

using a soft damp cloth and a multi-purpose cream cleanser.

Occasionally, it may be necessary to resort to a proprietary stainless steel cleanser, to return the surface

of the Grill to its original condition. To avoid re-occurrence of any “rust-staining” it is essential that the

source of the contamination be eliminated.

PITTING:

Another form of corrosion, which occasionally occurs in stainless steel, is pitting of the surface. The

reason for this corrosive attack can usually be attributed to certain household products, for example:

Bleaches:

Most common domestic bleaches & sterilizing solutions contain chlorine in the form of sodium

hypochlorite. If used in concentrated form, bleaches can attack the stainless steel, causing pitting of the

surface. They should always be used to the strengths prescribed by the manufacturer and should be

thoroughly rinsed off with clean water immediately after use. All cleaning agents containing hypochlorite

are unsuitable for long term contact with stainless steel and, even when used in the highly diluted form,

they can produce pitting under certain conditions.

Foodstuffs:

In general stainless steel is fully resistant to all foodstuffs in common use. Only in isolated cases, such

as when concentrated salt and vinegar mixtures are allowed to remain in contact with the steel for a long

period, can any surface marking result.

CARE & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR GRILL:

GRILL RACK:

The easiest way to clean the round wire grill racks is immediately after cooking is completed and after

turning off the flame. Wear a barbecue mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass

bristle barbecue brush in hot soapy water and scrub the hot grill rack. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl

of water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food

particles. The food particles will fall and burn.

If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, then cleaning will

be more difficult.

The V-grate used for the IR burner will primarily self-clean

during the 5 minute IR burner cleaning period (Rear IR-

Burner cleaning below). After the grate has cooled, remove

it from the grill and brush off burned debris.

STAINLESS STEEL:

The Grill is made from commercial quality type 304 non-

rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel, and the cleaning

information shown on Page 38 should be followed.

DRIP TRAY:

The drip tray should be cleaned after every usage of the grill.

After allowing the grill to cool completely, remove the drip tray

by pulling it out from the grill until it stops, then lifting the front

edge about 45° to remove from grill.

Reinstall by placing rear of tray into guides, then lifting front

edge 45° to re-insert the tray. Slide completely into the grill.

GRILL BURNERS:

Before removing the burners, make sure that the gas supply is

OFF and the control knobs are in the OFF position. Allow grill

to cool completely, then lift off the grill racks and briquette

trays. To remove burners, lift the rear of the burner out of the

bracket.

Angle the burner slightly to clear the igniter electrode and

opening at the front of the grill. Slide burner straight off the

orifice tip. Great care should be used when installing a burner,

as it must be correctly centered and secured on the orifice

before any attempt is made to relight the grill. The burner

should lie flat and not have any side-to-side movement.

Frequency of cleaning will depend upon grill use.

U-BURNER CLEANING:

Clean the exterior of the burner with a brass wire brush. Clear

any stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged

ports with a thin wire. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may

break off and clog the port. Shake out any debris through the

air shutter. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to

ensure it is not blocked, if obstructions can be seen, use a stiff

wire to clean out the burner throat.

TYPE OF LIQUID WHILE IT IS ON THE

GRILL. LIQUID CAN PERMANENTLY

DAMAGE THE IR-BURNER.

IR-BURNER CLEANING:

AFTER EACH USE, IT IS NECESSARY TO BURN ALL IR

BURNERS WITH THE HOOD OPEN FOR AT LEAST FIVE

MINUTES TO VAPORIZE ANY FOOD DRIPPINGS OR

PARTICLES.

It may occasionally be necessary to brush,

blow or vacuum accumulated ash from the burner surface.

Do so carefully and only when the burner is cool.

ORIFICE CLEANING:

With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the openings to ensure there is

no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the

needle.

TO REASSEMBLE THE BURNERS:

Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice, centering it in the hole and resting the

rear of the burner onto its supporting bracket.

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CENTER THE BURNER ON THE ORIFICE PROPERLY.

Be careful not to upset the air shutters’ original position (unless readjusting). Make sure the burner is level

and does not rock. Special care must be taken not to hit or damage the electrode wire while replacing the

burners.

ELECTRODE GAPS:

The right gap must be maintained to ensure a proper spark. The gap should be 1/8” to 3/16”. To adjust

gap, hold the base of the wire rod tightly with a pair of pliers, and with another set of pliers, twist the tip of

the wire to achieve the correct gap

NOTE: Rough handling of the electrode can crack the ceramic body, causing all of the igniters to fail.

Replace the briquette trays, ensuring that they sit level and do not rock. Light all of the burners and check

for proper flame characteristics (see page 27).

CLEANING THE BRIQUETTES AND TRAYS: After allowing the grill to cool completely, turn the briquette

assemblies (briquettes and tray) upside-down and operate the grill on high for 30 minutes. After allowing to

cool again, return the briquette assemblies to their proper (flat side down) position. The trays can

occasionally be scrubbed clean when needed after allowing them to cool completely. Never handle hot

trays.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Always keep the area around the grill free of obstructions and debris. Maintain at least 3” of space around

grill to ensure proper airflow, and keep all ventilation openings clear and free of debris. Visually check

flame characteristics and compare to description on page 27. Adjust if needed. Clean appliance after each

use, and check for blockages, especially at the burner orifices, after periods of prolonged non-use. To

maintain the appearance of your

Artisan Grill for many years, keep it covered when not in use.

Backyard environments are harsh on your grills’ finish. Long exposure to sun, water, yard chemicals and

the elements will reduce the appearance of the stainless steel. This is especially applicable in ocean front

locations, or locations subject to sea mists.

Artisan Grills strongly recommends that you cover your Grill

when not in use.

! NOTICE

FAILURE TO PERFORM THIS STEP

WILL DAMAGE THE IR-BURNER

TROUBLESHOOTING:

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE:

If your ARTISAN

Grill does not function properly, use the following checklist before contacting your

dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call and the inconvenience of being without

your grill.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING:

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the

front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve

panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.

WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS:

You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:

1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.

2. The Grill does not reach temperature.

3. The Grill heats unevenly.

4. The burners make popping noises.

GRILL WON’T LIGHT:

First determine if the spark igniters are functioning properly. A rapid snapping sound should be heard when

the igniter button is depressed. If no sound is heard, check the battery (see page 37).

If the spark igniters are working correctly, next determine if gas is reaching the burners. Ensure the gas

supply is turned on, and that there are no leaks according to the procedure on page 13. Attempt to match-

light a burner according to the procedure on page 8-9.

If the burner will light with a match, then the spark igniter may not be functioning correctly, or may not be

adjusted correctly. Adjust according to the procedure on page 34 or call for service. If the burner will not

match light, and the gas supply has been confirmed, then check the burner for blockages.

FLAME IS YELLOW / GAS SMELL:

IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS.

Perform a leak test and check for blockages according to the procedure on page 25. Also check the air

shutter adjustment according to the procedure on page 27.

NOTE: If the grill is operating in a dusty area or if heavy grease is present, some orange tips on the burner

flame should be considered normal.

LOW / INSUFFICIENT HEAT:

Ensure that adequate preheat time has elapsed. U-burners should preheat for at least 15 minutes with the

hood closed (20 ~ 25 minutes for high heat); IR burners should be allowed to preheat for at least five

minutes with the hood open.

If adequate preheat time was allowed, check the gas supply for a damaged and/or kinked supply line.

Replace if necessary. On LP units, a mostly empty tank may not have sufficient pressure to run the grill at

high heat. Replace with a full tank. Make sure that the regulator/hose assembly being used is the unit

supplied with the grill. On NG units, ensure that the flexible supply line is at least 1/2” diameter.

Check the gas supply pressure to ensure at least 7” W.C. for NG and 11” W.C. for LP.

If gas supply is adequate, check burners for blockages according to the procedure described above. Check

flame characteristics according to the procedure on page 27 and adjust air shutter if needed.

Check that there is no pressure being applied to the regulator attached to the back of the grill. This regulator

contains a flexible diaphragm and should not touch the grill body or any surrounding objects.

Check to make

sure that the burners and the drip tray are clean and free from obstructions. Clean if necessary.

NOTE: No part of the grill should ever be lined with aluminum foil as it will interfere with airflow and can cause a

low heat condition in the firebox and a high heat condition inside the control panel.

BURNER BLOWS OUT:

First determine if the problem is being caused by location. If location is subject to high winds, reposition the grill

to provide some protection by placing the back of the grill toward the wind.

Check the gas supply and flame characteristic according to the procedure under Low / Insufficient Heat. Check

to ensure that burners are correctly positioned in the grill. Correctly installed burners should be seated firmly with

no side-to-side movement.

ROTISSERIE WON’T LIGHT:

Follow the same procedure as “grill won’t light”, on page 28, to diagnose problems with the Rotisserie IR burner.

The IR burner flame may be hard to see in bright sunny conditions.

GRILL GETS TOO HOT:

IF THE GRILL GETS TOO HOT, TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY AND ALLOW IT TO COOL.

Perform a leak test according to the procedure on page 13. If leaks cannot be corrected, call for service before

attempting to use the grill.

LIGHTS DON’T WORK:

Check that power is connected and that the GFCI has not tripped.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT:

NOTE: Disconnect all power to your

Artisan grill before any service or light bulb replacement is performed.

Light bulbs are located on the left and right side of the rear hood above the cooking area. The area around the

light fixtures and the light fixtures themselves become extremely hot during grill operation with or without the

lights being turned on.

BEFORE REPLACING ANY LIGHT BULB, ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE FIXTURES TO COOL

DOWN IF THE LIGHTS OR THE GRILL WAS TURNED ON, OR BOTH.

Light bulbs can reach several hundred degrees when operating, so allow plenty of time for them to cool down.

Part# 210-0317

Should you need to replace the light bulb in you Artisan Grill, please refer to the following steps :

Reach inside the light fixture and remove the light bulb by

pulling it straight out of the socket.

INSTALLING A NEW LIGHT BULB:

NOTE: When replacing light bulbs, use a soft clean cloth

(cotton or paper towels) when handling lights.

Always keep halogen lights free of fingerprints and grease

when replacing. Because of the light bulb’s very high operat-

ing temperature, grease or fingerprints left on the light bulb

might reduce the bulb’s life.

Insert a new light bulb using a clean cloth and do not force the

light bulb in the socket. Very little effort is required for the

bulb to “SNAP” and lock into place.

Look at the bulb and verify that no fingerprints are left on it. Wipe off any fingerprints and or grease that

might have accidentally come in contact with the glass of the light bulb.

Replace the light cover by inserting it into the light fixture at a slight angle until it “SNAPS” into place.

Power up your Artisan Grill and verify the light bulb operation by turning on the light switch.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT CLEANING AND STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS:

In order to maintain your grill in clean working order, it will be necessary, under certain conditions, to take

additional precautions:

• If your gill is located in a coastal area, it will be exposed to salty air which is corrosive.

• If it is located close to a swimming pool or Jacuzzi with chlorinated water, then it will be exposed to

dilute hydrochloric acid which can be formed as a result of chlorine compounds used in the pool causing

chlorine to be combined with hydrogen and water in the atmosphere.

• Muriatic acid (another name for hydrochloric acid) is used to maintain the correct ph balance in the pool

water. Chlorine is an oxidizing agent, and as such can promote rapid corrosion or other oxidizing

processes which can damage various materials.

Type 304 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion but given enough exposure to such corrosive

conditions might succumb to some degree, such that pitting or rusting may occur.

Our barbecue materials have been tested in saline solutions with higher salinity than sea water, and they

have been tested in highly chlorinated solutions. They have also been tested by exposure to highly acidic

foods.

During and after these tests, we found these materials were able to withstand exposure over prolonged

periods of time. However, the above mentioned corrosive substances, along with neglect, can lead to a

situation whereby conditions might combine to cause some damage to occur.

Therefore, we suggest that you always keep your barbecue clean, dry and covered when not in use. This is

even more important when long term storage is intended; always store the grill clean, dry and covered with

an optional Artisan Barbecue Cover.

Do not allow any food particles or grease to be left inside your barbecue, as this will attract rodents which,

in addition to being undesirable from an hygienic standpoint, are likely to cause physical damage to your

barbecue. Rodents are known to chew on the insulation of wiring which will eventually cause permanent

damage to the wiring and possibly electrical components.

One final consideration for barbecues located either along the coast or in a desert community: Wind driven

sand is highly abrasive, therefore constant exposure will eventually pit and scratch almost anything; one

more reason to keep your barbecue covered when not in use.

By routinely caring for your barbecue as outlined in this manual, you can enjoy many years of service from

it and keep it looking the way it should.

In the event that any light rusting is found on the stainless steel, it will usually not be the stainless steel

which is corroding but iron particles which have somehow been deposited on the surface. For more

information on this subject, please request our “Rust removal bulletin”.

As a first course of action though, we recommend “Bar Keepers Friend”, available from many supermarkets

and hardware stores. This product, if used as directed, will usually solve the problem. Note though, when

using this product on textured surfaces such as your barbecue, always rub in the direction of the grain;

never across the grain, since doing so will damage the finish.

Refer also to pages 30-31 for additional Stainless Steel Care tips.
