PROPANE CYLINDER CAUTIONS a) DO NOT store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. b) NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. c) exactly, a fire or explosion causing death or serious injury may occur. 31 Leak Testing GENERAL Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas leak test 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 following the procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at anytime you should immediately check the entire system for leaks. BEFORE TESTING Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including tie-down straps. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING. NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder is 80% full. ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. Your grill is ready to use! TO TEST 1. Make sure the control valves are in the "OFF" position, and turn on the gas supply. 2. Check all connections from the L.P. gas regulator and supply valve up to and including the connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners). Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. 3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings. 4. Turn the gas back on and recheck. 5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact customer service at 1-866-206-0888 Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak. GAS FLOW CHECK Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners should be visually checked. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If you have any questions regarding flame stability, please call customer service at 1-866-206-0888. 32 Gas End Operating Instructions GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL Each main burner is rated at 8,000 BTU/HR. The main grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and are side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and debris. The knobs are located on the lower center portion of the control panel. Each knob is labeled on the control panel. USING THE GRILL Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the "HIGH" 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 the lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or foods basted with a sugary marinade may need the lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time. NOTE: This grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is radiated by the flame tamers positioned above each burner. Lighting Instructions NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The more thoroughly the grill is preheated, the faster the meat browns and the darker the grill marks. DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING. WARNING: IMPORTANT! BEFORE LIGHTING Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas "ON". If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. Only the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit should be used. Never substitute regulators and hose assembly for those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is necessary, contact the manufacturer for proper replacement. The replacement must be that specified in the manual. WARNING Always keep your face and body as far away from the burner as possible when lighting. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the connections before each use. Do not attempt to light the grill if odor of gas is present. Call for service 1-866-206-0888 Each burner is adjusted prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make minor adjustments necessary. TO LIGHT THE MAIN BURNER Make sure all knobs are off then turn on the gas supply from the LP (Liquid Propane) tank. Always keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Open lid before lighting. 2. Check control knobs are all OFF and then turn on the gas supply. CAUTIONS Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet when the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs mayresult in leakage of propane. The gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder when the unit is not in use. If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. 3. Push and turn the knob slowly to HIGH. The burner should ignite within three attempts. 4. If burner does not ignite, turn the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes and then repeat step 3. 33 Match Light 1. If the burner will not light after several attempts then the burner can be match lit, before using the match allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. 2. Clip a match on one end of the lighting rod. 3. Light match. 4. Hold lighting rod and insert lighted match right next to the burner ports. 5. Push and turn the designated control knob to HIGH. 6. Burner should ignite immediately. Main burner Component Identification Note: Remove all packaging, including straps, before using the grill 1. Push 2. Turn knob to "H" 3.

Using any of these products (or similar products) could cause a flare up, flash fire, or explosion. Severe bodily injury could be result. If using lighter fluid to start fire, leave the hood open until briquettes are ashed over and lighter fluid has burned off. Closing hood too soon could cause fumes from the lighter fluid to accumulate inside the grill. This could cause a flare up or explo- sion when the hood is opened. Do not open the hood while the charcoal door is opened. This could cause a flare up or explosion Do not add lighter fluid to warm or hot coals. A flash fire may result in bodily injury or property damage. Do not add instant light charcoal briquettes to an existing fire. A flash fire may result in bodily injury or property damage. Do not light grill without the slide out ash pan in place. GRILL USAGE AND OPERATION It is always recommended to pre burn your grill prior to your first use. By lighting a small charcoal fire to simulate the cooking process, you will burn off any residues or oils created during the manufacturing process. Grill is hot when in use do not touch grill surfaces. Always wear insulated mitts when grill is in use. Do not wear loose clothing when using grill or allow hair to come in contact with grill. When in use, never leave grill unattended. Do not operate grill without the slide out ash pan in place. Use caution when opening the charcoal pan access door. Charcoal pan access door handle may be hot use insulated mitts. Follow additional instructions in the "ADDING ADDITIONAL CHARCOAL" section. Use caution when adjusting the charcoal pan -- do not allow adjustable charcoal pan to fall uncontrolled to its lowest position. Adjustable charcoal pan handle may be hot use insulated mitts. Use caution when opening the hood push back to its fully opened position. If the hood is left partially open, it may drop suddenly, causing bodily injury. Hood's handle may be hot use insulated mitts. Use caution when adjusting the butterfly dampers. The butterfly damper handles may be hot use insulated mitts. Do not lean on or place more than 10kgs/22lbs on the side shelf. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand in the event the fire gets out of control. When fresh air comes in contact with flame, a flare up can result. Use caution when opening hood or charcoal pan access door. Maintain a safe distance from hot steam and flame. Close hood and butterfly dampers to extinguish flame. To prolong grill finish and metal life, do not exceed a grill temperature of 400°F and do not let burning charcoal or wood come in contact with the walls of the grill. After normal operation, if the crank handle does not rotate smoothly, add some lubricating oils into the crank handle. Clean the cooking grid and slightly coat with vegetable oil after use. If there is naked flame or temperature is over 325°F, please do not close the hood. ASH DISPOSAL AND CLEAN UP It is imperative that you clean out the ashes from your grill after both grill and ashes have completely cooled and before moisture can combine with the ash. Ash and moisture can create lye, which is very acidic, and can cause rusting. FYI lye soap was made from the lye leached out of ashes by pouring water through them. Do not leave hot grill or hot coals and ashes unattended. Do not remove or empty slide out ash pan until coals and ashes have completely cooled. Using insulated mitts after coals and ashes have completely cooled remove slide out ash pan and empty ashes into a metal container. Douse with water before disposal. Keep container a safe distance from combustible materials. Wet the surfaces beneath and around the grill to extinguish any ashes or coals that may have fallen out of grill. To prevent excessive rust: clean grill after each use, cover and store in a dry place. Add lubricant to the end of crank handle after using the grill every 2~3 times to make sure the handle is lifting the charcoal tray smoothly. USE AND CARE USE OF COOKING GRATE First Time Use Before using a cast iron grate, wash it thoroughly with a mild dishwashing liquid to remove the protective wax coating applied for shipping. Rinse with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth or paper towel. NEVER ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY OR WASH IN A DISHWASHER. Now season the grates to prevent rust and sticking. Seasoning A solid vegetable shortening is recommended for the initial seasoning. Spread a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening over the entire surface, including all corners, with a paper towel. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine. Preheat grill for 15 minutes; carefully place grates in the grill. Allow the grill to heat grates for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Allow the fire to burn out on its own, and leave cooking grates in grill until they are cool. Your cast iron cooking grates are now ready to use. To Prevent Rusting Re-season your grates frequently, particularly when new. If rust occurs, it is an indication that the grates have not been seasoned enough or the seasoning has been burned off. Clean with a heavy brush, re-apply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above to re-season the grates. Maintenance It is much easier to keep the cast iron cooking grates clean if they are brushed just after cooking, while the coals are still hot instead of allowing excess residue to harden after it cools. After brushing, allow the grates (as well as the grill itself) to cool. For more thorough cleaning, use a wet, soapy, fine steel wool pad with only slight pressure. Rinse thoroughly and dry. 35 GRILL TOUCH-UP After time, surface rust can be removed with a wire brush and touched up with high temperature black paint. Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, and then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting. LIGHTING THE FIRE Always light the fire with the grill lid open. Before lighting the fire, open the hood of your CHARCOAL GRILL, as well as all of the butterfly dampers and remove the cooking grates. Do not build too large a fire. We recommend starting a fire with no more than 2 pounds of charcoal (approximately 30 briquettes) and adding more as needed during cooking,but the total maximum charcoal required should be less than 3.5 pounds. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the cooking grate on the unit. Lower the adjustable charcoal pan to its lowest setting. If using charcoal lighter fluid to start the fire, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for approximately 5 minutes. After allowing the lighter fluid to properly soak in, light the pile of briquettes in several locations to ensure an even burn. Chimney starters, electric starters, or other types of fire starters may be used instead of lighter fluid to light the fire but only according to those manufacturers' instructions. Never use instant light charcoal or charcoal lighter fluid with any of these other starting methods. Allow the charcoal enough time to completely ash over before beginning to cook, so that the lighter fluid has enough time to burn off. Starting to cook too soon can leave your food tasting like lighter fluid. After ash over is complete, use long-handled tongs to spread the charcoal into a single layer on the pan. CONTROLLING THE FIRE Allow enough time for properly building the fire and getting the grill up to desired temperature before attempting to cook. You simply cannot cook properly in a cold grill, nor can you nurse a fire to life while busy with the food. Both deserve your best! Once a fire is burning happily, it is easy to keep it going with just a little attention. You will be pleased at how long your CHARCOAL GRILL will burn on a little charcoal. Rising heat will move up and out of the grill, pulling in cooler air behind it, which provides oxygen for the fire. Your CHARCOAL GRILL has four butterfly dampers that control airflow, which lets you fine tune the temperature. NOTE: Dampers will become very hot after lighting the charcoal - be sure to wear insulated grill mitt during adjustment. After the fire is established and the grill reaches the desired cooking temperature, the butterfly dampers can be left completely open, providing maximum airflow for a higher temperature or closed as needed to decrease airflow for a lower temperature. Use the temperature gauge to monitor the grill temperature. Fully opening the upper damper on one side and fully opening the opposite lower damper (closing the remaining dampers) will create a convection effect inside the grill when the hood is closed. This will allow for extended cooking times when barbecuing. The adjustable charcoal grate can also be used to control the temperature. Raise it to its highest setting for quick searing and lower it to its lowest setting for slow cooking. WARNING: Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage. 36 ADDING ADDITIONAL CHARCOAL To achieve the extended cooking times needed for barbecuing or slow smoking (or if you're using your CHARCOAL GRILL to make enough hot dogs and hamburgers to feed an army), additional charcoal can be added through the charcoal pan access door. Lower the adjustable charcoal pan to its lowest setting. Open the charcoal pan access door using an insulated grill mitt as the handle can be hot. Using long-handled tongs, stoke the coals enough to allow excess ash to fall through the charcoal pan into the slide out ash pan below. Again using insulated mitts and long-handled tongs, add charcoal to the pan as needed and close the access door. Raise the adjustable charcoal pan to the desired level. Do not use lighter fluid or instant light charcoal when adding additional charcoal to an existing fire. This can be dangerous, and will leave a lighter fluid aftertaste on your food. Do not attempt to empty the ash pan of burning charcoal pieces or hot ash. Wait until the ashes and grill have completely cooled before emptying the grill. See the "Cooking Methods" section for more information on barbecuing and slow smoking. COOKING METHODS You can use your GRILL to cook three different ways depending on the type of food, and how you want to prepare it. GRILLING Grilling is cooking directly over the fire, using direct heat. This method is the quickest and works well for foods that are tender before you cook them including steaks, beef or pork tenderloin, burgers, hot dogs, sausages, chicken, seafood, etc. Vegetables are also wonderful when grilled. Grilling uses very high temperatures that are over 325°F. When cooking at these temperatures, it is important to carefully watch your food to keep it from burning. Also, close the lid to put out any grease flare-up that may occur when flipping burgers or steaks. BARBECUING Barbecuing is cooking using indirect heat and smoke. This method takes a little longer, but can be used for nearly any kind of food you want to cook (including those above). As barbecuing uses lower temperatures and longer cooking times this method works best for cuts of meat that need time to tenderize such as ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, wild game, etc. Barbecuing uses temperatures from 225°F to 325°F. Try to maintain 275°F for optimal results. Use your imagination when barbecuing, as the possibilities are endless! USING CHARCOAL AND WOOD CHARCOAL Your charcoal grill is made to burn either charcoal briquettes or natural wood lump charcoal both of which have different cooking attributes. Briquettes typically provide longer burn times than lump charcoal but lump charcoal burns hotter than briquettes. Using the charcoal pan access door to add more charcoal makes both briquettes and lump easy and convenient for extended cooking times. SMOKING WOODS Adding smoking woods to your charcoal grill is an easy and effective way to create wonderful flavor combinations for all types of grilled, barbecued, or slow smoked foods. Wood chips are typically used for shorter cooking times, where chunks are better for longer cooking times. When choosing smoking woods, the rule of thumb is to use a fruited hardwood from a tree that bears a nut, fruit, or berry. The most popular and widely available smoking woods are hickory and mesquite. Hickory imparts a milder flavor, where mesquite is more intense. Other common wood varieties are oak, apple, pecan, cherry, etc. It is important to never use pine, cedar, or kiln dried wood and any smoking woods should be well cured. Green wood still contains all the sap and moisture needed to keep the tree alive, and will impart a super strong-tasting smoke that will turn your foods black. Also, when you try burning green wood, it is hard to reach a good temperature, because all the moisture inside the wood almost puts the fire out while it's burning. Well-cured wood lights easily, maintains cooking temperature, and produces a great tasting smoke flavor that isn't too strong. The amount of smoke flavor imparted to your food can be controlled by not just the type of wood you use (whether a mild wood or more intense), but also by the length of time the meat is smoked. Barbecuing typically adds more smoke flavor to food than grilling, due to the longer cooking times. You can also control the amount of smoke flavor by wrapping meats in aluminum foil for part of the cooking process. Cook meat for ½ to 2/3 of the total cooking time, or until it looks to be the perfect color. Then wrap the meat in foil and finish cooking the meat until done SLOW SMOKING Slow smoking uses much lower temperatures and much longer cooking times. Slow smoking is actually a way to cure meats rather than cook them. Slow smoking is ideal for turkeys, chickens, beef briskets, cheese and sausage. Slow smoking uses temperatures that range from 140°F to 225°F. Most slow smoking recipes call for the use of saline brine that helps preserve the meat and avoid bacterial contamination during the cooking process. The temperature gauge on the outside of the hood provides an accurate reading of the cooking temperature inside the grill firebox. 37 Care And Maintenance STAINLESS STEEL There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust. For removal use a mild abrasive pad in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. GRILL GRATE The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in water and scrub the hot grill. 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. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult. ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY AND THE KNOBS ARE IN THE "OFF" POSITION. MAKE SURE THE RANGE TOP BURNER IS COOL BEFORE REMOVAL. GRILL BURNERS Extreme care should be taken when moving a burner as it must be correctly centered on the orifice before any attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on how often you use the grill. MAIN BURNER CLEANING Ensure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the "OFF" position. Make sure the grill is cool. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Please note if insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas through the burner, and if so you will need to call our customer service line at 1-866-206-0888. GREASE TRAY CLEANING The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and wash with a mild detergent and warm water solution. A small amount of sand may be placed in bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease. Check the grease tray frequently, do not allow excess grease to accumulate and overflow out of the grease tray. Warning: If you wish to replace main burner, we strongly recommend that you hire a professionallytrained technician to replace it. Please understand that we will not be responsible for any liability, personal injury, or property damage resulting from an improperly assembled burner. HOW TO REPLACE MAIN BURNER Step 1. Use a screwdriver to remove burner fixing screw, then remove the burner on the front wall of fire box, as shown below. Step 2. Insert the burner onto the orifice. Step 3. Secure the fixing screw on the burner, as shown below, make sure burner hole aim at orifice . CAUTION 1. Keep 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 combustible and ventilation air. 3. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris. 38 Troubleshooting SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING Checking and cleaning burner/ venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill. 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. WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after 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. BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE If the grill does not function properly, use the following check list before contacting your dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call. PREHEATING: The grill lid should be in a closed position during the preheat time period. It is necessary to preheat the grill before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature. Food that requires a high cooking temperature needs a pre-heat period of five minutes; food that requires a lower cooking temperature needs only a period of two to three minutes. COOKING TEMPERATURES High setting - Use this setting for fast warm-up, for searing steaks and chops, and grilling. Low setting - Use this setting for all roasting, baking, and when cooking very lean cuts such as fish. These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind. Cooking with in - direct Heat: You can cook poultry and large cuts of meat slowly to perfection on one side of the grill by indirect heat from the burner on the other side. Heat from the lit burner circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking the meat or poultry without any direct flame touching it. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts, because there is no direct flame to light the fats and juices that drip down during cooking. CAUTION: If burners go out during operation, close gas supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Open lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear). CAUTION: Should a grease fire occur, close gas supply at source, turn off all burners and leave lid closed until fire is out. CAUTION: Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your grill is in operation. As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your gill is no exception. PROBLEM When attempting to light my grill, it will not light immediately. SOLUTION Make sure you have a spark while you are trying to light the burner Check to see if the other burners operate. If so. Check the gas orifice on the malfunctioning burner for an obstruction. Regulator makes noise. Full size cover does not fit the grill. Vent hose on the regulator may be plugged or regulator may be faulty. Ensure the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. Clear the hole, close the gas control valves. Wait ten minutes and re -start. Check your flames for proper performance. If the flames are not correct, replace regulator. Cover may be incorrect for your grill. It may be a tight fit. Ensure the cover is the correct length for your grill. Compare the location and size of the hood portion of the cover to your grill. Spread the cover and allow it to relax, preferably in warm sunlight or in a warm room. For grill with a side shelf bunch the cover like a sock, put on left to right. 39 PROBLEM SOLUTION Gas grill only heats to 93-149°C / 200 -300°F. Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or kinked. Make sure the grill area is clear of dust. Make sure the burner and orifices are clean. Check for spiders and insects. Gas grill takes a long time to preheat. Burner flames are not light blue. Normal preheat 260 -316 °C / 500 -600 °F, takes about 10 -20 min. Cold weather and wind may effect your preheat time. If you are using volcanic rock or briquettes they can increase the preheat time and maximum temperature. Too much or not enough air for the flame. Elevation is the principal cause, however cold weather can affect the mixture. Burner adjustment may be required. Grill is in a windy location.

Grill Hints The doneness of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large degree by the thickness of the cut. Expert chefs say it is impossible to have a rare doneness with a thin cut of meat. The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat, the size and shape of the cut, the temperature of the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of doneness desired. When defrosting meats it is recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microwave. This in general yields a juicier cut of meat. Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat, as a spatula will not puncture the meat and let the juices run out. To get the juiciest meats, add seasoning or salt after the cooking is finished on each side and turn the meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several times). Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface. Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. To prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking, slit the fat around the edges at 51mm / 2-in. intervals. DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING. 40 2-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY This warranty is non-transferable and does not cover failures due to misuse of improper installation or maintenance.
