CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE

• LP gas grill models are designed for use with a

standard 20lb. (9.1kg) Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas)

tank, which is not included with the grill. Never

connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds

this capacity, A tank of approximately 12" (305mm)

in diameter by 18-1/2" (472mm) high is the

maximum size LP gas tank to use. You must use an

"OPD" gas tank which offers a listed Overfill

Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents

tanks from being overfilled which can cause

malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and grill.

• The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in

accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas

Cylinders of the U,S. Department of Transportation

(D.O, T.) or the National Standard of Canada,

CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for

Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and

Commission, as applicable.

• The LP gas tank must have a shutoff valve terminating

in a LP gas supply tank valve outlet that is compatible

with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank

must also have a safety relief device that has a direct

connection with the vapor space of the tank.

• The tank supply system must have a means for

vapor withdrawal,

• The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect

the tank valve.

• Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your

gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with

your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure

of ll"water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP

gas tank. Only use the regulator and hose assembly

supplied with your gas grill. Replacement

regulators and hose assemblies must be those

specified by Sears. See the Parts List.

Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve

after every filling to ensure it remains free of

defects. Always keep the LP gas tank in an upright

position, Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive

heat,

• Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you store your

gas grill indoors, always disconnect the LP gas tank first

and store it safely outside.

• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a

well-ventilated area and out of the reach of children.

• Disconnected LP gas tanks must not be stored in a

building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

• The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after

opening the door and must be inspected before each

use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear

or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using

the grill again.

• Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or

before checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully

seated over the gas valve orifices.

•Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not

allow children or pets to play near your grill.

• Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability

to assemble and operate the appliance.

• Keep a fire extinguisher readily accessible. In

the event of an oil or grease fire, do not attempt

to extinguish with water. Use a Type B extinguisher

or smother with dirt, sand, or baking soda.

• In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off

the burner and gas supply.

• Use your grill on a level, stable surface and ensure

the locking casters are locked before use.

• Do not leave the grill unattended when in use.

• Do not move the appliance when in use.

• Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.

• Do not use your grill as a heater.

This grill is not intended to be installed in or on

recreational vehicles and/or boats.

A. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or

near this appliance.

B. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full;

C. If the information in "(a)"and "(b)" is not

followed exactly, a fire causing death or

serious injury may occur.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from

any wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3

feet from combustible objects that can melt or

catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences

and overhangs) or sources of ignition including

pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical

appliances,

Never use your gas grill in a building, garage,

porch, shed, breezeway, or any other enclosec

area,

Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air

around your gas grill housing.

Notes about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of

replacing your empty LP gas tank through an

exchange service. Use only those reputable

exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test

and certify their tanks. Exchange your tank only for

an OPD safety feature equipped tank as described

in the LP gas tank section of this manual.

• Always keep new and exchanged LPgas tanks in an

upright position during use, transit or storage.

• Leak test new and exchanged LP gas tanks BEFORE

connecting one to your grill.

How to Leak Test your LP Gas Tank

For your safety:

• All leak tests must be repeated each time your LP gas

tank is exchanged or refilled.

• Do not smoke when checking for gas leaks.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

Your grill must be leak tested outdoors in a

well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such

as gas fired or electrical appliances, During the leak

test, keep your grill away from open flames or

sparks.

• Do not use household cleaning agents as damage to

gas assembly components can occur.

[] Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and

water solution.

[] Brush soapy solution onto the LP gas tank in the areas

indicated by the arrows. See diagram.

[] If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP

Gas tank, Call an LP gas supplier or your fire

department,

Regulator and LP Cylinder Connections

The gas pressure regulator provided with this

outdoor cooking appliance must be used. This

regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11

inches water column.

Regulator:

Your regulator is equipped with a Q.C.C. Type 1

quick connect system. It will not allow gas to flow

until a positive seal has been made, It has a

thermal element that will shut off the gas flow if

the temperature reaches 240 degrees F (115

degrees C), It also has a flow-limiting device that

will restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per

hour (0.28 cubic meters per hour).

TO CONNECT THE CYLINDER TO THE

REGULATOR AND HOSE

1. Be sure the LP cylinder is "OFF" by turning the

hand wheel clockwise until it stops.

2. Place the cylinder into the base cabinet shelf of

the grill with the valve facing outward and

secure with the cylinder support ring,

3. Be sure all burner controls are turned to the

"OFF" position.

4. Remove the safety cap from the cylinder valve.

5. Center the nipple of the regulator into the

cylinder valve.

6. Turn the black nut clockwise until it stops.

Hand Tighten Only. Do Not Use A Wrench.

Z21.58-2007

Quick

Coupling Nut

If growing bubbles appear do not use or move

the LP Gas tank. Contact an LP gas Supplier or

your fire department!

CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use

the gas must be turned off at the tank, Storage the

appliance indoors is permissible only if the tank is

disconnected and removed from the appliance,

Tank must be stored outdoors out of the reach of

children and must not be stored in a building, garage

or any other enclosed area.

Flow Limiting Valves on LP Gas Tanks

Your LP gas tank is equipped with a flow limiting valve

that will restrict the flow of gas due to a sudden change

in pressure. This can often activate without your

knowledge. You will notice among other things that

your grill does not get as hot as it should, will take

longer to heat up, or you may not be able to light all

burners. If you notice any of the above, then you

should reset the valve and clear your gas line.

To do

this

Ensure the LP gas tank valve is OFR

Disconnect the regulator from the LP gas tank.

Open all burner control knobs including the side

burner to Hi at the same time.

Close all burner control knobs to OFF.

Let the LP gas tank stand for at least i0

minutes.

Reconnect the regulator assembly to the LP gas

tank.

Slowly, meaning about 1/4 turn at a time, turn

on the LP gas valve.

Follow the burner lighting procedures to light

the burner farthest away from the gas source.

The flow limiting valve should now be reset.

This flow limiting valve is triggered by sudden changes

in pressure. This can be caused by a leak, faulty

connection of the regulator to the LP gas tank, turning

on the LP gas tank valve too quickly, or turning the

burners off by turning the LP gas tank valve off before

turning the burner control knobs to off. Note: always

turn off your burners using the burner control knobs

first before turning the LP gas tank valve off.

Transportation and Storage

1. Place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet

whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install

the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet

that is provided with the cylinder of propane

valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result

in leakage.

2. Always transport your cylinder in an upright

position.

3. Do not smoke when transporting your cylinder.

Cylinder valve shall be readily accessible for hand

operation. A door on the enclosure to gain access to

the cylinder valves is acceptable, provided it is

nonlocking and can be opened without the use of tools.

Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks

Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to

first use, at the beginning of each season

or every time your LP Gas tank is changed

you must check for gas leaks. Follow

these three steps:

Make a soap solution by mixing one part

liquid detergent and one part water

Turn the burner control knobs to the OFF position.

Then turn the gas ON at the source.

Apply the soap solution to all gas connections

indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If

bubbles appear in the soap solution the

connections are not properly sealed. Check

each fitting and tighten or repair as

necessary.

Gas Valve Manifold

qcc

LP Gas Tank

If you have a gas leak that cannot be repaired

by tightening, turn off the gas at the

source, disconnect fuel line from your grill

and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® or your

gas supplier for repair assistance.

Disconnecting A Liquid Propane Gas (LPG)

Tank From Your Grill

[] Make sure the burner valves and LP gas

tank valve are off. (Turn clockwise

to close.)

[] Detach the hose and regulator assembly

from the LP gas tank valve by turning the quick

coupling nut counterclockwise.

Your new gas grill operates on Natural Gas. It is

colorless and odorless in its natural form. The form of

natural gas that is delivered to your home is almost

pure methane.

Your grill is designed to operate on natural gas only.

Do not, for safety reasons, use any other type of fuel.

Your grill operates at 7" water column pressure.

Contact your local gas utility for the gas pressure in

your area.

Contact your local municipality for any building code

requirements in your area.

NATURAL GAS CONNECTION

A shut-off valve should already be installed at the gas

source outside of the house or where the pipe exits the

ground. If not, then one must be installed before

installing the quick-disconnect hose for your grill.

Attach the quick-disconnect socket to the shut-off

valve. Use pipe dope or pipe thread tape on the male

pipe thread.

In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off

the burner and gas supply.

Use your grill on a level, stable surface and ensure the

locking casters are locked before use.

Do not leave the grill unattended when in use.

CORRECT NATURAL GAS GRILL USE

Keep a fire extinguisher readily accessible. In

the event of an oil or grease fire, do not attempt to

extinguish with water. Use a Type B extinguisher or

smother with dirt, sand, or baking soda.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from

any wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3

feet from combustible objects that can melt or

catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences

and overhangs) or sources of ignition including

pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical

appliances.

Never use your gas grill in a building, garage,

porch, shed, breezeway, or any other enclosed

area.

Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air

around your gas grill housing.

For your safety:

A leak test must be repeated each time your NG gas line

is connected

Do not smoke when checking for gas leaks.

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

Your grill must be leak tested outdoors in a

well-ventilated area, away from any ignition source such

as gas fired or electrical appliances. During the leak test,

keep your grill away from open flames or sparks.

Do not use household cleaning agents as damage

to gas components can occur.

How to do Leak Test on your NG Grill

1. Ensure all burners are "Off"

2, Ensure the gas hose is connected to the gas source,

and the shutoff valve is turned on.

3. Mix up a solution of 50% dish soap and 50% water.

Do not use any household cleaner solution.

4. Spray or brush on the solution covering the

following area: gas hose connections to the

shut-off valve, gas hose, and the gas hose

connection to the gas manifold assembly.

Growing bubbles on any of the parts and

connections listed above indicate a gas leak.

If you have a gas leak that cannot be

repaired by tightening, turn off the gas at

the source and call 1-800-4-MY-HOMEC_ or

your gas supplier for repair assistance.

1. DO NOT USE THE GRILL if you cannot stop a leak

2. Do not use any match or open flame, or smoke,

during leak testing.

3. Do not light aburner during leak testing.

Before each use, check the natural gas hose

for excessive abrasion, wear or cuts. Replace

a gas hose showing those signs with the hose

specified in the parts list before using the grill.

Inspect the hose by opening the cabinet door

underneath the right main burner and

following the gas hose up to its connection to

the gas manifold assembly.

Always perform the Leak Test listed above

before using your grill for the first time, if the

natural gas connection has been changed,

any gas components have been changed, or

after a long period of non-use.

1. This outdoor cooking gas appliance and its

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:

Cleaning The Cooking Grates

Wash your cooking grates in a mild soap and

warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth,

vegetable brush, or brass bristled brush.

Never use any type of steel bristled brush. Dry

them when finished.

Cleaning the Heat Diffusers

Wash the heat diffusers periodically in a soap and

warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to

remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the

heat diffusers thoroughly before you reinstall them

into the firebox.

Cleaning the Grease Tray and Pan

To reduce the chance of fire, the grease tray and

grease pan should be visually inspected before each

grill use. Remove any grease and wash both with a

mild soap and warm water solution.

Cleaning the Znside of the Grill Lid

Grease can have a tendency to build up on the inside

of the grill lid and could drip onto the deck or patio

when the lid is opened. Visually inspect the inside of

the grill lid before each grill use. Remove any grease

and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution.

Annual Cleaning of the Grill Interior

Burning-off excess food after every cookout will

keep it ready for instant use. We recommend you

periodically give the entire grill a thorough cleaning

to minimize your risk of grease fire and keep the grill

in good shape. Follow these steps:

1. Turn all burner valves to the "OFF" position.

2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the "OFF"

position.

3. Disconnect the regulator assembly from the

gas tank. Inspect the hose for cracking, cuts or

any other damage, and replace as necessary.

Refer to the Parts List in this Operator's

Manual.

4. Remove and clean the cooking grates, heat

diffusers, warming rack, burners, and grease

tray.

5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum

foil.

6. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a

fiber pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild

soap and warm water solution. Rinse

thoroughly and let dry.

7. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check

each orifice for obstruction.

8. Replace the burners, ensuring the burners fit

down over each valve orifice.

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:

Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water

solution. A cloth, soft brush, or plastic cleaning

pad can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe

dry.

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water

solution. Clean and polish with a stainless steel

cleaner. There are many good quality stainless

steel cleaners and polishes available. Follow

the manufacturer'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 surface. Do not use abrasive

cleaners and scrubbers.

CAUTION:

Heat, weathering, machine oils used in the

manufacturing of stainless steel, and dirt can all

cause exterior stainless steel surfaces to turn

tan in color. In addition, the following products

and naturally occurring substances in the

outdoors will damage all stainless steel finishes.

Use caution so they will not come in contact

with your grill. Immediately wash them off and

dry the stainless steel should they ever come in

contact with your gas grill. They include, but

are not limited to, pool chemicals (chlorine and

bromine), lawn fertilizer, ice melting salts, sea

or salt water, urine, bird droppings, and tree

sap.

Failure to comply with these instructions may

result in a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, may result in injury.

Keep grill area clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline and other

flammable vapors and liquids.

Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion

and ventilation.

Keep the ventilation openings of the tank

enclosure cabinet free and clear of debris.

To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE you must

clean the burner tubes as follows periodically in

summer and fall, wherever spiders are active in your

area, and if your grill has not been used for an

extended period of time.

1. Turn all burner control knobs to the "OFF"

position.

2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the "OFF" position.

3. Disconnect the LP gas regulator assembly from

the LP gas tank.

4. Remove the cooking grates, heat tents, grease

cup, and grease tray from the grill.

5. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner

using a Phillips head screwdriver.

6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the

gas valve orifice.

7. Check and clean burner tubes for insects and

insect nests. A dogged tube can lead to a fire

beneath the grill.

8. Refer to FIGURE1 and use one of these three

cleaning methods:

METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat

hanger into a small hook as shown and run the

hook through the burner tube and inside the

burner several times to remove debris.

METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible

handle and run the brush through the burner

tube and inside the burner several times to

remove any debris.

METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air

through each burner tube. The forced air

should pass debris or obstructions through the

burner and out the ports. Always wear eye

protection if using this method.

Figure I Burner Ports

Small insects, such as spiders, are able to access the

burner tubes. 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 from 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 tubes, which can cause

damage to your grill and/or personal injury.

IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE FLOW OF GAS AT

THE LP TANK OR NATURAL GAS VALVE SHOULD

THIS HAPPEN, Wait for the grill to cool, and then

clean all burners.

Regardless of the burner cleaning procedure you use,

we recommend you also complete the following steps

to help prolong burner life.

1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire

outer surface of each burner until free of food

residue and dirt.

2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as

an open paper clip.

3. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes)

and if such damage is found, order and install a

new burner. After installation, check to ensure that

the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside

the ends of the burner tubes. Also check the

position of your electrodes.

4. Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.

For safe operation ensure the gas valve assembly

orifice is inside the burner tube before using your

grill. See figure. If the orifice is not inside the

burner tube, lighting the burner may cause

explosion and /or fire resulting in serious bodily

injury _nrl /nr nrnn_rtv d_m,_n_

Gas Valve Assembly Orifice BumerTube

BURNER FLAMES

Always inspect the burner flame after lighting. A

good flame should be primarily blue with a yellow

tip and have a minimum amount of noise. Some

yellow tips are OK if under one inch. New burners

sometimes have oil residue, which will cause yellow

flame when burning off. Variations in gas supply,

altitude, weather, and other factors can all impact

burner performance. Older grills can also show

more yellow flame as food deposits, oils, and fats

can build up.

Good Bad

i ...................

) :

Burn-Off

Some of the new parts of your grill could have

residual oils. We recommend you ignite the burners,

turn to "Hi", and lower the lid for 3 to 5 minutes to

burn any oils off before grilling for the first time.

CAUTION: Operating your grill on the "Hi" setting

for longer than five minutes may damage certain

parts of your grill.

Preheating

To preheat, light your grill on "Hi", lower the lid, and

follow this timetable: for high temperature cooking,

preheat grill 3 to 5 minutes; for low temperature

cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes. Preheating is not

necessary to slow cook.

Cooking Temperature

High Setting" The "Hi" control knob setting should

only be used to sear some meats, pre-heat your

grill the first 3-Sminutes and for burning food

residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes after cooking is

complete. Never use the "Hi" setting for extended

cooking.

Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify

medium to low settings, including all smoking and

rotisserie cooking, lean cuts of meat, chicken, and

fish.

An Important Note About Cooking Temperature

The outside grilling area is not the controlled

environment that your indoor kitchen is. Many

variables can impact the cooking performance of

your grill, including outside air temperature, wind,

humidity, and altitude. Allow more cooking time for

cold, wind, and higher altitudes. We recommend you

place the grill in an area protected from wind.

Monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as needed

to prevent overcooking and ensure the most

delicious results every time. Experimenting makes

grilling more fun and interesting!

The middle and back primary cooking areas offer the

highest heat for searing and grilling.

The warming rack offers medium heat for preparing

breads and firm vegetables like potatoes and corn

and keeping food warm.

The front primary cooking area offers less heat and

is ideal for preparing delicate foods and also for

keeping cooked foods warm.

Direct Cooking

The direct cooking method is used when food is

placed directly over the lit grill burners. This method

is ideal for searing, grilling, deep frying and

whenever you want foods to have an open-flame

barbecued taste. The lid can be open or closed

depending on your preference.

Indirect Cooking

The indirect cooking method is used for most foods.

Do not place the food directly over a burner to use

this method. Instead, the food should be placed on

the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit

on the opposite side or in the center with the

center burners off. Indirect cooking must be done

with the lid down.

Prepare Cooking Grates for Grilling

Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods

from sticking and reduce the amount of cleanup

required. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of

cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each

cooking grate. We do not suggest spray type oils

unless they are specified for high-temperature

cooking. Be sure to coat the entire cooking surface

including edges and any areas with chipped

porcelain.

Flare-Ups

The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can

cause flare-ups. Flare-ups work to color and flavor

your foods, so some flare-ups are preferred. Too

many can work against you though. Reduce

flare-ups by trimming away excess fat, using the

indirect method of grilling, and grilling using lower

temperatures.

Using the Back Burner (If Equipped)

The back burner is used when cooking with a

rotisserie, wh:.ch _sscld sep__r__te!y. Please follow

the points below when using the back burner.

1. Always remove the warming rack.

2. Do not use the main burners when the back

burner is in use.

3. Use an aluminum foil pan to catch the juices

that drip down from the food.

Allowing grease to gather in the bottom of the

firebox could create a grease fire the next

time the main burners are used.

Never line the bottom of the firebox with

aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will

restrict the flow of grease into the grease tray

or cup.

Before each use, pull out the grease tray and

remove all grease and food debris to prevent a

grease fire hazard.

Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a

flame retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your

grill. Never lean over cooking areas while using

grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, lid, grill

housing or other parts while grill is in operation,

or until the grill has cooled down after use.

OPERATING THE ROTISSERIE

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE MAIN BURNERS

WHEN USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER.

Slide the first meat fork onto the spit rod with the

tongs facing the center of the spit,

Skewer the meat onto the spit rod, and slide to the

center. You want to balance the weight as evenly

as possible.

Slide on the second meat fork with the prongs

facing the meat,

Center the meat and slide both meat forks into the

meat. Tighten the set screws on the forks.

Check the balance of the food on the spit by

rotating it loosely in your hands. The spit rod

should rotate evenly with little effort. Adjust the

food on the spit to balance as necessary.

Place the spit into the motor. Be sure the bushing

on the other end of the spit rests on the firebox

side wall. Note that you will need to remove the

warming rack and possibly the grates depending

on the size of the food you are cooking.

Plug in the rotisserie motor, and turn "On". Ensure

the spit is rotating freely and evenly. Adjust the

meat and counterweight as necessary. Turn "Off"

once balanced.

Place a pan under the food to catch the drippings

from rotisserie cooking. Do not allow the drippings

to fall down into the firebox. Again, it may be

necessary to remove the cooking grates.

Open the hood and light the back burner following

the instructions earlier in this Use & Care Guide.

10. Close the hood and adjust the burner control knob

for the back burner to the setting you prefer.

il. Turn the motor "Off" when opening the hood to

inspect the meat or when done before removing

the spit.

12. When finished, clean the spit and meat forks with

warm water and dish soap and dry. Store the meat

forks and motor in a drawer where they will not get

wet. Storage hooks for the spit are located on the

back of the firebox.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse

cord or plugs in water or other liquid;

2. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before

cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking

off parts;

3. Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance

with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance

malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.

Contact the manufacturer for repair;

4. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or

touch hot surfaces;

5. Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for

purposes other than intended;

6. Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GF[)

protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas

appliance;

7. Never remove the grounding plug or use with an

adapter of 2 prongs;

8. Use only extension cords with a 3 prong grounding

plug, rated for the power of the equipment, and

approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.

Do not use the Rotisserie burner when the main

burners are in use.

Remove the warming rack when the back burner

and rotisserie are in use.

Always use a Drip Pan to catch all drippings from

the food when using the rotisserie. Failure to do

could allow excess grease to accumulate in the

bottom of the firebox which could cause a fire.

Do not operate your Rotisserie Motor in the rain

or expose it to moisture.

OPERATING THE INFRARED SEARING BURNER

61 Remove food from the infrared searing burner

immediately after searing. Cook on the main

burner sections to your desired preference.

Searing Burner

Searing food is used in many fine restaurants

throughout the country. It can be a challenge though

as it cooks at a higher heat, When done correctly,

searing will help hold in flavor making food more moist.

Personal tastes along with types and thickness of cuts

of meat vary so experiment to get the results you

desire. In general, follow the hints below.

1. Searing should always be done at the beginning of

cooking.

2, Turn on the infrared searing burner and preheat

the grill for about 5 minutes. The searing burner

should always be used on the Hi setting to sear

food.

3, Infrared searing burners produce very hot and

concentrated heat. Therefore, we recommend

searing each side of your food for no longer than 1

to 2 minutes at a time to avoid charring and

flare-ups.

4. You can rotate food 90 degrees to obtain cross

searing marks.

Never use water to control flare-ups when using

an infrared searing burner. Water will crack the

hot porcelain on the burner and damage your

burner.

CARE OF THE INFRARED SEARING BURNER

Infrared searing burners have ceramic surfaces, so

care must be taken to avoid damage.

1. Never allow water or moisture to come in contact

with a hot burner as it can crack the ceramic and

damage your burner.

2. Never allow hard or heavy objects to impact the

surface, Use special care when removing grates as

they can damage the ceramic surface if dropped.

5, While infrared searing burners will vaporize most

grease and drippings, it is a good idea to control

flare-ups by trimming excess fat and repositioning

meat during cooking.

Question:

can I convert my gas grill from one fuel type

to another, such as LP to NG (natural gas)

or vice versa?

Answer:

No, your gas grill is manufactured to specific

standards developed by CSA and ANSI for your

safety and is certified for one type of gas only.

Question:

Are the serial and model numbers of my grill

listed somewhere for reference?

Answer:

The serial and model numbers are listed on a

silver CSA label placed on the grill. Depending on

the grill model, the silver CSA label generally will

be located inside the right door of the cart.

Question:

My grill will not light properly. Why?

Answer:

Check these possibilities:

1. The gas supply is turned off at the LP tank.

Turn on the gas at the LP tank.

2. Your LP tank is out of propane.

3. The regulator is not properly seated in the

tank valve. Remove and reattach. Hand

tighten only.

4. Crimped fuel supply hose. Inspect and

straighten.

5. Regulator failure or damaged hose assembly.

Inspect and order a replacement part. Do not

use your grill if you find a damaged hose

assembly.

6. Gas not getting to the burners. Inspect the

burners under the control panel to be sure

they are aligned with the valve orifices.

7. Blockage in the gas system. Inspect burners

and valve orifices for blockages, such as

spider webs, insects, etc. Clean as necessary.

Question:

My electronic ignition is not working.

Answer:

Listen to hear the electronic igniter clicking. If not,

check these possibilities:

1. Replace the AA battery. Ensure the "+" end is

facing up and out.

2. Ensure the battery is centered and fits into

the electronic igniter button properly.

3. Be sure the wires are all attached to the

electronic ignition assembly behind the

control panel and the individual electrodes.

4. Inspect the electrodes to be sure they are

not coated with grease or dirt. If so, clean

with rubbing alcohol.

If you hear a clicking sound, then:

1. Inspect the electrodes to be sure they are not

coated with grease and dirt. Clean with

rubbing alcohol.

2. Inspect the distance from the electrode to the

burner. It should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the

main burner and 1/8 to 3/16 inch from the

side burner.

Question:

sometimes Ihear a humming sound coming

from my regulator. What causes this?

Answer:

The humming sound is gas flowing through the

regulator. This is more likely to occur in periods

of high gas flow. A low volume of sound is

normal and will not interfere with the operation

of your grill.

Question:

My grill has a low flame on some burners,

or some burners will not light at all. What

can cause this?

Answer

This can be caused by the flow limiting device,

which is generally triggered by a sudden change

in pressure. Opening the tank valve too fast or

shutting the burners off using the tank valve can

cause this. To reset:

1. Close the LP tank valve and disconnect

the regulator assembly from the tank.

2. Let the LP tank sit for 10 minutes.

3. Open all burner control knobs, including

the side burner, to "Hi" at the same time.

4. Close all burner control knobs.

5. Reconnect the gas regulator to the LP

tank.

6. Follow the burner lighting procedures

and light the burner farthest from the LP

tank.

Question:

Where do I use my grill for safer operation

and better performance?

Answer:

Strong winds and low temperatures can affect

the heating and performance of your gas grill so

factor in these elements when positioning your

grill outdoors for cooking.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall

or surface.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from

combustible objects that can melt or catch fire

(such as vinyl or wood siding, fence and

overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot

lights on water heaters and live electrical

appliances.

Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,

breezeway or any other enclosed area.

Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around

your gas grill housing.

Question:

The Regulator and Hose supplied with my

gas grill does not fit the older LP Gas Tank

I've used for years. Why not?

Answer:

The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances

and LP gas tanks. When regulations are changed

the LP gas tank fittings are altered to insure

compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the

regulator and hose assembly supplied with your

new grill, then the tank is outdated and must be

replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002 all LP gas

tanks sold must include an "OPD" Overfill

Prevention Device. The OPD tanks are identified

by their triangular-shaped valve wheel. This

internal device prevents the LP gas tank from

being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve can

no longer be refilled.

Question:

can I clean parts of my grill, such as the

cooking grates and heat tents, in a

self-cleaning oven?

Answer:

No. You should not clean any part of your grill in

a self-cleaning oven.

Question:

What can I do to keep my cast iron grates

from rusting?

Answer:

Cast iron grates do require special care. We

recommend you first season new grates. Wash

new grates with dishwashing liquid, rinse, and dry

completely with a soft cloth. Never wash them in a

dishwasher. We recommend you use a solid

vegetable shortening over the grates to season

them the first time. Spread athin coating with a

paper towel over the entire surface, corners, and

edges. Preheat your grill to 500 degrees. Turn half

your burners to "LOW" and half "OFF", and place

grates in the firebox for about an hour. Shut off all

burners and allow the grates to cool. We

recommend you coat the grates with aliquid

vegetable oil before each use. We do not suggest

spray type oils unless they are specified for high

temperature cooking.

Question:

Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated

cooking grates in the dishwasher?

Answer:

No. You should not clean any grill parts in your

Dishwasher. We recommend you clean all parts of

your grill, including the cooking grates, by hand.
