IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read these instructions carefully before assembly and use.

• Retain these instructions for future reference.

• For outdoors only-do not use indoors.

• For use with LPG bottled gas only.

• Do not use in an area with flammable structures or surface.

• LPG gas cylinders must not be stored and used in a upright position. A

leak would be very serious and liquid could enter the gas line.

• Do not move the grill while it is in use.

• This grill must not be left unattended when it is being used.

• Parts of this grill become very hot. Care must be taken when children,

elderly people, and animals are present.

• Always turn off the gas bottle when the grill is not in use.

• Never cover a grill until it has completely cooled.

• Leak test annually and whenever the gas bottle is removed or replaced.

• Do not store flammable materials near this grill.

• Do not use aerosols near this grill.

• Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury and/or

damage.

• If you have any queries regarding these instructions, contact your local

dealer.

GAS AND REGULATOR:

This grill can use either propane or butane LPG bottle gas. You must have the

proper regulator and bottle in order for the grill to operate safely and efficiently.

Use of an incorrect or faulty regulator is dangerous and will invalidate any

warranty. Please consult your local gas dealer for the most suitable gas bottles

and regulators.

INSTALLATION

LOCATION:

This grill is for outdoor use only and should be placed in a well-ventilated area.

Take care to ensure that it is not placed under any combustible surface. The

sides of the grill should NEVER be closer than 2 feet from any combustible

surface. Keep this grill away from any flammable materials!

PRECAUTIONS:

Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the body of the grill. Position the gas

supply bottle on level ground next to the grill and safely away from any source of

heat. Should you need to change the gas bottle, confirm that the grill is turned off

and that there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc)

nearby. Before proceeding, inspect the gas hose to ensure it is free of any

twisting or tension.

5

The hose should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks that could obstruct

free flow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should

touch any hot grill parts. Always inspect the hose for use with LPG and meet the

national standards for the country of use.

FIXING THE REGULATOR TO THE GAS BOTTLE:

Confirm all grill control knobs are in the off position. Connect the regulator to the

gas bottle according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s instructions.

Leak testing

Confirm that you are in a well-ventilated area and that all grill control knobs are in

the off position. Open the gas control valve on the bottle or regulator. Check for

leaks by brushing a solution of water and soap over all gas system joints,

including all valve connections, hose connections, and regulator connections.

NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at anytime. If bubbles form over

any of the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply and retighten all joints.

Repeat test. If bubbles form again, do not use the grill and contact customer

service. Leak test annually, and whenever the gas bottle is removed or replaced.

Always remember that before use, take care to ensure that no bubbles have

formed over any of the joints.

OPERATION

WARNINGS:

• Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the IMPORTANT

INFORMATION section of this manual.

Preparation before cooking:

To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking grill, please use a long handled

brush to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each grilling session.

(Note: when cooking for the first time, paint colors may change slightly as a

result. This is normal and should be expected.)

Lighting the grill:

1. In order for the igniter switch to work, please make sure the battery is

properly installed.

2. Ensure all knobs are in the “OFF” position. Open the gas control valve on

the gas bottle or regulator.

3. Open the gas control valve at the cylinder.

4. From “OFF” position, push down the front left control knob and keep

pressing while turning counter clockwise to the “HIGH” position and

pressing the ignition button (you will hear a clicking sound), this will light

the left hand burner.

5. If burner fails to light, turn to “OFF” position and wait five minutes. Then

begin again with step 3.

6

If burner still fails to light after several attempts, try the manual ignition

procedure below.

6. When the left hand burner is lit the remaining burner can be lit by

repeating steps 3 and 4.

7. To preheat the griddle, place the knob on “HIGH” position for 3-5 minutes.

8. After use, turn all control knobs to the “OFF” position and turn off the gas

control valve at the cylinder.

1. Take out removable grease drip tray.

2. Open the gas control valve at the cylinder.

3. Insert lit match through the space vacated by grease drip tray on the left

side of the burner.

4. Push and turn the knob closest to the piazzo lighter counter clockwise to

the “HIGH” position and light with match.

5. If the burner fails to light after 5 seconds, turn to “OFF” position and wait 5

minutes. Then begin again from step 2. If the burner fails to light after

several attempts, go to step 6, and call customer service.

6. After successfully lighting the first burner, turn next control knob to the

“HIGH” position. The gas will ignite from lit burner on the left. Follow the

same procedure for each successive burner. Light the remaining burners

from left to right.

7. After use, turn all control knobs to the “OFF” position and turn off the gas

control valve at the cylinder. NOTE: If the flame of the burner has a

yellow hue, adjust the aeration screw located on the neck of the burner.

The burner flame should be blue. Blue hued flames are confirmation that

the burner is burning properly. Turning the screw counter clockwise will

increase the amount of blue and clockwise will increase the amount of

yellow.

End of cooking session:

Do not allow your grill to overheat. After each cooking session, turn the grill

burners to the “HIGH” position and burn for 5 minutes. This procedure will

burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.

Turning off your grill:

When you have finished using your grill, turn all of the control valves fully

clockwise to the “OFF” position, then turn off the gas at the bottle. Wait until

the grill is sufficiently cool before storing.

MANUAL IGNITION PROCEDURE:

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Regularly clean your grill between uses and especially after extended

periods of storage. Ensure that the grill and its components are sufficiently

cool before cleaning.

• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.

• In order to extend and maintain the life and condition of your grill, we

strongly recommend that the unit be covered when left outside for any

length of time, especially during the winter months.

Care and Cleaning:

1. A good grill scrapper is essential for easy clean up.

2. Most foods can be cleaned up by scraping and wiping down the griddle

with a paper towel and cooking oil to prevent rust.

3. To remove tough food residue you can use a mild cream cleaner and pad.

You can also use soapy water or a paper towel and cup of table salt as

another method of cleaning your griddle. Rinse well and dry to prevent

rusting. Since the griddle surface is steel, you should protect it from

moisture. To do this, spray the griddle with a light coating of vegetable oil

and store in a dry area.

4. Periodically, griddle should be cleaned with a griddle brick or SOS pad.

Burner maintenance:

In most circumstances, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burner

clean. The burners should be removed and cleaned annually or whenever heavy

build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects)

in either the burner portholes or the venture tubes. Use a pipe cleaner to clear

obstructions. A wire brush can be used to remove corrosion from the burner

surfaces. When refitting the burner, be careful to check that the venture tubes of

the burner fit over the valve outlets.

Grill body:

Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the grill body with a soft plastic or

wood scraper. It is not necessary to remove all of the grease from the body. If

you need to clean fully, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush

only. Remove cooking surfaces and burners before cleaning. Do not immerse

the gas controls or manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully

refitting into the body.

Annual checking and tightening of metal fittings is recommended. Store the grill

in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent

insects or other debris from collecting in the burner holes. If the grill is to be

stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas

bottle should always be stored outside, out of reach of children, and in a dry,

well-ventilated area away from any sources of heat or ignition.
