DANGER: LP CYLINDER RISK

Liquid propane gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Understand the characteristics before using any propane product.

1. Propane characteristics: Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air, settles in pools and low areas.
2. In its natural state, propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.
3. Contact with propane can cause freeze burns to the skin.
4. The gas grill side should be used with propane gas only.
5. Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar, or footing.
6. Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane gas supplier.

DANGER: FIRE HAZARD

Live coals and grill components get extremely hot during use and can start fires.

1. It is imperative that you have a fire extinguisher and first-aid kit handy in case of an accident or fire.
2. Only tip out the ash once the charcoal has completely burned out and cooled down.

DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION

Flammable liquids that are poured on the embers may cause flash flames or explosions.

1. Never use flammable liquids such as petrol or spirit.
2. Do not put pieces of charcoal soaked in flammable liquid onto the embers.

DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD A

When burning charcoals, barbecue briquettes, etc., carbon monoxide is formed. This gas is odorless and can be fatal in closed spaces!

1. NEVER burn charcoal inside houses, vehicles, tents or other enclosed space.
2. Use the grill OUTDOORS ONLY.

DANGER: HEALTH RISK

• Do not use any decolorants or thinners to remove stains. These are harmful to health and must not come into contact with food.

DANGER: INJURY TO CHILDREN

While playing, children can become caught in the packaging film and choked.

1. Do not let children play with the packaging film.
2. Make sure that children do not put any small assembly parts into their mouths. They could choke on the parts if they swallow them.

DANGER: RISK OF INJURY

• Some parts may contain sharp edges!
• Be careful when touching the grill and its components as there is risk of accidents and/or injury during assembly and use. Wear protective gloves if necessary.

DANGER: RISK OF DAMAGE

• During use, the screws may loosen slowly and impair the grill’s stability.
• Check that the screws are well-tightened prior to each use. If necessary, tighten all the screws again to ensure the grill is standing securely.

PRE-HEATING

The grill lid should be closed while preheating the grill. It is necessary to preheat the grill before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature. Cooking with indirect heat: You can cook poultry and large cuts of meat slowly to perfection on one side of the grill by the indirect heat from the burner or charcoal on the other side. Heat from the lighted burner or charcoal circulates gently throughout the grill, thereby cooking the meat or poultry without any direct flame touching it. This method greatly reduces risk of flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts as there is no direct flame to burn the fat and juices that drip down while cooking.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

1. Keep the grill at least 91 cm (36 inches) from any wall or surface at all times. Maintain at least 10 feet of clearance to combustible objects that can catch fire.
2. Do not place the grill where there are combustible surfaces overhead.

Your new grill has been designed and manufactured to high-quality standards. It will provide you with many years of fun grilling time, however, it requires a minimal amount of maintenance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Follow the instructions carefully to avoid seriously damaging your grill and causing injury to yourself and to property.

1. Assemble the grill as per the assembly instructions carefully.
2. Connect the LP cylinder to the grill (LP cylinder not included).
3. Tum all control knobs to the OFF position before turning on the gas supply to the grill.
4. Operate the regulator In accordance with the Instructions supplied with the regulator.

LP GAS AND CYLINDER INFORMATION

Your new gas grill operates on LP (Liquified Petroleum) Gas. It is odor1ess, color1ess, and non-toxic when produced. You can smell LP gas as it has been given an odor similar to rotten eggs, for your safety.

The LP cylinder used with your grill must have two features

1. An OPD (Overfill Protection Device) that prevents accidental gas leaks caused by overfilling of the cylinder. Each cylinder contains a float that closes the input value when the cylinder is 80% full. This allows room or the propane gas to expand in hot temperatures. A triangular hand wheel distinguishes this type of cylinder.
2. A QCC1 Type1 Quick Connect Valve that provides fast cylinder hook-ups and requires only to be tightened by hand.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

1. The LP cylinder must include a collar to protect the gas supply valve.
2. Do not store a spare LP cylinder under or near the grill.
3. Never fill the LP cylinder beyond 80% capacity.
4. If the warnings in 2 and 3 above are not heeded exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
5. Always transport in an upright position.
6. Do not smoke when transporting your LP cylinder.
7. Place a dust cap on the cylinder gas valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Use only the type of dust cap that Is provided with the cylinder valve when purchased. Other types of cap or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Each grill burner is tested and calibrated at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. Please visually check the flames of the burners. Always visually inspect your grill before lighting. Replace any hose that is frayed or cracked. Look for anything that could block ventilation and remove such a blockage or move the grill. After lighting, check the flame pattern to ensure you have even heat distribution for each burner. If burners don’t light up, or if the flame pattern is uneven, see the Troubleshooting section.

WARNING: BEFORE LIGHTING

1. Read the instructions before lighting.
2. If the burner does not ignite in 5 seconds, turn the burner control knob(s) off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.
3. 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 use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit.
4. Never use regulators and hose assemblies other than those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is necessary, contact the manufacturer to get the proper replacement. The replacement must be as per the specifications in the Owner’s Manual. DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.

Charcoal Grill Instructions & Operation

You can burn either charcoal briquettes or natural lump charcoal, which have different attributes. Charcoal briquettes typically provide longer cooking time and are usually less expensive while lump charcoal burns hotter and produces less ash.

SMOKING WITH WOOD CHIPS

TIPS FOR USING WOOD CHIPS

A lot of smoke is produced when using wood chips. Smoke can escape through seams and turn the inside of the grill black. This is normal. Wood chips can be used to produce smoke and create smoke flavor. Never use more than 1 box of wood chips at a time. You can put dry or pre-soaked wood chips in smoker boxes or foil packets on the cooking grates. Dry chips burn faster and produce more intense smoke. Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) burn slower and produce a less intense smoke. Check wood chip box periodically to see if wood has burned down. Add more chips as required.

SMOKING WITH WOOD CHIPS/ WOOD CHUNKS

For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal, try adding wood chips or several wood chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural flavors and can be used alone or in addition to charcoal. As a rule, any hardwood that bears fruit or nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have different tastes. Experiment with different woods to determine your personal favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or fresh-cut wood can turn food black and bitter.

Warning

Grill will drip oil during this process and for several uses afterward. This is normal. NEVER EXCEED 400 °F (204 °C) AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH AND CONTRIBUTE TO RUST. THE  PAINT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL REQUIRE A TOUCH- UP. THE PRODUCT IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.

BUILDING THE FIRE

1. Open the lid and remove the cooking grates.
2. To start a charcoal fire, we recommended stacking 2 lb. (approximately 25 briquettes) into a pyramid-shaped pile and saturate with lighter fluid, adding more as needed on the charcoal pan. Allow the coals to ash over before adding more.
   • NOTE: Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products can cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
3. Light the coals in several places.
4. After the briquettes ash over and produce a red glow, spread them evenly across the charcoal pan. Please use a suitable heat-resistant tool with a long, heat-resistant handle when you do this.
5. Put the cooking grates in place and adjust the charcoal pan to the desired height by using the crank and start cooking.
6. If the charcoal is not burning evenly, please use long-handled tongs to move coals for even heat.
7. Leave the lid open or closed based on the type of BBQ meat. Please close the lid when a longer cooking time is needed. The thermometer located on the lid shows the temperature to ensure it is not too high for a particular BBQ meat.

Warnings: Chimney starters, electric starters, or other types of fire starters may be used instead of lighter fluid to light fire but use only according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Never use instant light charcoal or charcoal lighter fluid with any other starting methods.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTING

Open 2 dampers on the lid and the front damper knob to allow more fresh air into the grill, thus ensuring a higher internal cooking temperature, and close the dampers as needed to decrease the airflow for a lower cooking temperature. The adjustable charcoal pan can also be used to control the temperature. Rotate the crank handle to raise the charcoal pan for quick searing and lower it for slow cooking.

_ NOTE: _Always use a flame-retardant insulated grill mitt when adjusting the air vent or the charcoal pan.

INDIRECT OPERATION

1. For items that take longer to cook, you will want to use indirect grilling. This method is for long, slow cooking on a covered grill.
2. For indirect cooking, the coals are piled two or three coals deep on one side of the charcoal grill side, or divided and piled on two sides. This leaves an empty space next to the coals or between them. Food cooked over indirect heat is often started over direct heat and then moved to the cooler (empty) part of the grill for even, slow cooking. To make the heat as even as possible, construct two piles of coals.
3. It is common to place a metal drip pan in the empty space beside or between the coals, which is filled with water, wine, beer, broth, or a combination. Place the food directly over the drip pan. This injects a little extra moisture into the cooking environment and also catches dripping juices, which makes clean-up a little easier and reduces the possibility of flare-ups. (Remember to keep a spray bottle filled with water on hand to extinguish any flare-ups.)
4. Once you get used to the indirect method, you may prefer to use it for more grilling tasks. Although it may take a little longer, it is an excellent cooking method and a sure way to prevent the food from burning and to promote even cooking.

TIPS FOR INDIRECT SMOKING

Pans are not included, and a disposable bread pan is recommended. Please purchase it separately.

1. If you want to sear certain foods before smoking, please place meat directly above charcoals on the cooking grates with lid open in high (hot) position for several minutes.
2. Add flavor-soaked wood chips to the fire and add 1-part marinade, beer, or wine with 3 parts water into the drip pan.
3. Opening the smoking chamber will extend cooking time.
4. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part not touching the bone and allow five minutes to register.
5. Check the water level when cooking for more than 4 hours or when you can’t hear the water simmering.
6. Add water by turning the meat over and pouring water through the grill into the water pan.

IF THE SMOKE IS WHITE, THE FIRE IS PERFECT. IF THE SMOKE IS BLACK, YOU NEED MORE AIRFLOW.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Warning

1. Do not clean any part of your grill in a self-cleaning oven.
2. Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive kitchen cleaners, cleaners that contain citrus products, or mineral spirits.
3. Clean your grill regularly to prevent grease buildup, grease fires or excessive flare-ups.
4. Always allow the grill to cool down prior to cleaning.

Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill bowl assembly and the grease tray at the bottom of the grill’s firebox. Remove the grease from the bottom of the grill bowl assembly and grease tray regularly.

STAINLESS STEEL

Clean with multipurpose, low-abrasion, non-phosphorous metal or stainless steel polish and a soft cloth. Always polish in the direction of the finish. Do not allow grease and dirt to accumulate. In addition, several products and naturally occurring substances can damage all stainless-steel finishes. These include, but are not limited to, swimming pool chemicals (chlorine and bromine), lawn and garden fertilizers, ice-melting products, sea or other salt water, urine, bird droppings, and tree sap. Upon contact with these substances, immediately wash and dry the stainless-steel surface and be careful to avoid burns.

OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES

• Wash with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. You can use a cloth, soft brush (non-metallic), or plastic cleaning pad. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

COOKING GRATES AND FLAME TAMERS

• Use a stiff brass brush. Wash with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent, rinse and dry.

GREASE CUP/ TRAY

• Check after each use. Remove and empty the grease cup when half full. Remove and clean the grease tray as grease builds up. Both can be washed with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent.

BURNERS

• We recommend you clean your burners at least twice a year, or before use if the grill has not been used in over one month.

Warning

Small insects and spiders may enter the burner tubes. Sometimes they will build nests or spin webs that 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 grill generating uneven or low heat, or difficulty in igniting the burners. In cases of severe blockage, this can cause the flame to burn backward, and outside of the burner tubes, which can damage your grill and/or cause personal injury. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE FLOW OF PROPANE GAS AT THE CYLINDER BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL CLOCKWISE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN. Wait for the grill to cool down and then clean all burners.

CLEANING THE BURNERS

1. Ensure the gas is turned off at the LP cylinder.
2. Remove the cooking grates and flame tamers.
3. Lift each burner up and out.
4. Clean the inside of the burner using a stiff wire. A straightened coat hanger will work. An alternative is to use compressed air. Always wear protective gear for your eyes when using this method. Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
5. Brush the outer surface of the burner.
6. Ensure all ports (holes) are free of debris.
7. Inspect the burners. Replace any that have cracks or enlarged ports.
8. Replace flame tamers and cooking grates.
9. Perform the Leak Test described earlier in this Owner’s Manual.

WARNING: Proper placement of the burner and valve is vital to ensure safety.

BURNER FLAMES

Always check the burner flame patterns after lighting. A good flame should be primarily blue with a yellow tip and have a minimal amount of flicker. Some yellow tips are OK if they are smaller than 2.5 cm (1″). 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 due to food deposit, oil, and fat buildup.

EMPTY THE ASHES & ASH TRAY

After the fire is completely extinguished you should wait several hours before emptying the ashes to ensure they are not hot, or else there will be risk of burns.

1. Knock any ashes that did not fal into the ashtray from the charcoal pan. (If there are pieces of partially burned charcoal on the charcoal pan, you can save them for use the next time. They are still good).
2. Tap the sides of the chamber to loosen any ash that is on the sides.
3. Lift out the charcoal pan and empty out the cold ash. It is particularly important that you remove the ash before moisture combines with the cold ash. Ash collects moisture, which can cause premature rusting and decay from the inside of the ash-collecting tray. Thus, over years the ash collecting tray can get rusted and damaged.
4. Give the ashtray a few firms taps to loosen any ash that may be stuck.
5. Place the ashes in a metal container and fill with water to ensure there are no lit coals, then you can dispose of the ashes.
6. Let the charcoal burn out completely after griling. This eases the cleaning effort by burning away excess fat and BBQ residue.
7. Clean the grill regularly and optimaly after every use.
8. Remove the cooking grates and clean them thoroughly with soapy water. Then dry them off thoroughly.
9. Use a wet sponge to remove loose residue from the grill.
10. Use a soft, clean cloth for drying. Do not scratch the surfaces when Wipe them dry.
11. Clean the internal and external surfaces with warm soapy water
12. Tighten all screws before every use to ensure your grill is stable at all times.
13. Protect your gril against the weather. Since it is manufactured from steel it will gradually rust. Clean possible rust spots and repair them with fireproof paint. It is important that you remove the ash from the firebox before the cold ash collecting moisture as this can lead to rust damage. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE SMOKER.

CAUTION: Do not use any strong or grinding solvents or abrasive pads, as they can damage surfaces and leave behind scratch marks. When you have finished grilling you can shut down your grill by closing both dampers and allowing the fire to extinguish. Be patient. This may take an hour or more.

GRILL STORAGE

1. Clean your grill before storage.
2. Storage of a gas grill indoors is permissible only if the LP cylinder is disconnected and removed from the gas grill.
3. The grill should always be stored where it is protected from moisture.
   • NOTE: DO NOT leave the charcoal in your grill when you are not using it. Charcoal and ashes left inside the ash pan may reduce the durability of your gill.
4. Cover the grill.
5. Perform a Leak Test before using the grill after it has been kept in storage for some time.
