device. This purging procedure should be done every
time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For

CAUTION: 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 which could result in a fire in
and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as
"FLASH-BACK" and can cause serious damage to
your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for
the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only
cause of "FLASH-BACK", it is the most common
cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", you must
clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill,
and at least once a month in late summer or early fall
when spiders are most active. Also perform this burner
tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used
for an extended period of time.
See Cleaning Burner Tubes and Ports on page # 14.

Installing Cooking Components
Important: Before cooking on your grill the first time,
wash cooking grids and cooking rack with warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Season
with cooking oil regularly. After cooking is
completed, turn grill to HIGH setting for 3 to 5
minutes to burn off excess grease or food residue.

Install heat diffusers above burners. Place the
holes in rear corners of diffusers attach onto pegs
in the back edge of firebox. Ensure that firebox
heat shield is inserted securely into slots between
adjacent burners. If grill was shipped with shield
taped in place, remove tape before using grill.

Evenly space cooking grids on the ledge above
heat diffusers. (Fig.14)

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces

To ensure a proper working unit the following proper
care and maintenance is suggested.
Cleaning Cooking Grids
We suggest you wash your cooking grids in a mild soap
and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or
soft brush to clean your cooking grids.
Cleaning Heat diffusers
Periodically you should wash the heat diffusers in a
soap and warm water solution. Use a soft brush to
remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. The heat
diffusers should be dry before you reinstall them.

•Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior
stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine
oils used in manufacturing process of stainless steel
can also cause this tanning color. Use a stainless
steel cleaner to polish stainless steel surfaces of
your grill. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers
because they will scratch and damage your grill.

Cleaning Burner Tubes and Burner Ports
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" the procedure
below should be followed at least once a month in late

Cleaning Grease Tray
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped
down periodically and washed in a mild
detergent and warm water solution. A small
amount of sand or cat litter may be placed in
bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease.
Check the grease tray frequently, don't allow
excess grease to accumulate and overflow out of the
grease tray.

summer or early fall when spiders are most active or
when your grill has not been used for a period of time.

Annual Cleaning of Grill Interior
Burning-off the grill after every use will keep it ready for
your next use. However, once a year you should give
the entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top
operating condition. Follow these steps.
1. Turn all burner valves to full OFF position.
2. Turn LP gas tank valve to full OFF position.
3. Detach LP gas hose and regulator assembly from
your gas grill. Inspect for any damage and replace as
necessary with manufacturer replacement part number
found on parts list.
4. Remove and clean heat diffusers, cooking grids and
grill burners.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush inside and bottom of grill with a nylon brush,
and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove the aluminum foil, then reinstall heat
diffusers, and cooking grids.
8. Reconnect gas source and observe burner flame for
correct operation.

1. Turn all burner valves and gas tank valve to off
position.
2. Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your gas
grill.
3. Remove cooking grids, heat diffusers, and grease
tray from the grill.
4. Remove the screws from the underside of each
burner and lift the burners up and away from the gas
valve orifice.
5. Using a bent stiff wire in the shape of a hook, air
hose or a bottle brush, run it through the burner tube
and inside several times to remove any debris.
6. Replace burners, see illustration below.
Step 1. Locate the burner onto the orifice.
Step 2. Secure the main burner on the back wall of fire
box with 2 screws.

Cleaning Exterior Surface
•We suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or
sponge for this process. Do not use abrasives or a
brush that might remove finish during the cleaning
process.

Z_ WARNING
The location of the burner tube with respect to the
orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the
orifice is inside the burner tube before using the gas
grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve
orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion
and/or fire.

Regardless of which 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.

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 gas
valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of
the burner tubes.

WARNING

Spiders and insects can nest inside the burners of
the grill and disrupt gas flow. This very dangerous
condition could cause a fire behind the valve panel,
thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe for
operation. Inspect the grill at least twice a year.

2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the following check list before calling for service.
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the following

Indirect Cooking

Z__ WARNING
Do not leave the grill unattended.
Your grill will get very hot. Never lean over
the cooking area while using your grill. Do not
touch cooking surfaces, grill housing. Grill Lid
or any other grill parts while the grill is in
operation, or until the grill has cooled down
after use. Failure to comply with these
instructions may result in serious bodily injury.

To cook indirectly, the food should be placed on
the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit
on the opposite side. Indirect cooking must be
done with the Lid down.
Flare-ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a
favorably,distinctive taste and color to food cooked
cover an open flame, they should be accepted up
to a point. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can
result in a ruined meal.

Burn-off
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time,
you will want to "burn off" the grill to eliminate any
odor or foreign matter. Just ignite the
burners,lower the Lid, and operate grill on the
HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to adjacent burner(s), the
fire box heat shield must be securely inserted
in place when operating the Searing burner.

Cooking Temperatures
High setting: Only use this setting for fast
warm-up,searing steaks or chops and for burning
food residue off the grill after cooking is complete.
Never use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.
Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking,
rotisserie cooking and for cooking lean cuts such
as fish.
NOTE: Temperature settings will vary with the
temperature and the amount of wind outside your
home.
Direct Cooking
The direct cooking method can be used with the
supplied cooking grids and food placed directly
over the lit grill Burners. Direct cooking requires
the grill lid to be up.The method is ideal for
searing and whenever you want meat, poultry or
fish to have and open-flame barbecued taste.
Deep frying and smoking are also best cooked in
this manner because they require direct heat.

Z_
WARNING
Do not line the- bottom of the grill housing with
aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will
restrict the flow of grease into the grease tray.
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion which could cause
serious bodily injury, death, or property
damage.
