BEWARE OF SPIDERS
BURNER TUBES MUST BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE EACH USE.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes of gas grills. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “flash-back” and can cause serious damage to your appliance 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-making necessary frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes.
GENERAL WARNINGS

• All gas grills get hot during use. Use extreme caution when operating.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use the lid handle to open or close the grill.
• Use cooking utensils with wood handles and insulated oven mitts when operating the grill.
• Never lean over the cooking surface when lighting or operating the grill.
• Never light the appliance with the hood closed and without being certain that the burners are positioned and seated over the gas valves and on the burner support.
• Close supervision is necessary when this or any grill is used near children. Keep children away from the grill during operation and until it has cooled off.
• Never cook without the grease cup in place.
• Never operate this grill while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Do not store anything in the grill. Make sure food is not forgotten in the grill body; forgotten items could melt or catch fire when the grill is turned on.

Care and Maintenance

Cooking Grate
The best time to ‘burn-off’ the cooking grate is after every use (approx. 15 minutes). The grill is already hot from cooking thus requiring less fuel to obtain necessary temperature for ‘burn-off’.
To ‘burn off’ or heat clean your grill, turn the burners to highest position and run for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Then turn off the burners and use a wire brush to clean excess food residue from the grates.
The grate should be handled with care not to chip.
CAUTION:
Ensure the grill is cool before cleaning and conducting maintenance and with the gas supply turned off at the LP-Gas Cylinder.
Recommended Cleaning Supplies
Mild liquid dish soap, warm water, nylon cleaning pad, wire brush, DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or any abrasive substance.
Outside Surfaces
It is recommended to use only mild dish soap and hot water to clean grill and grill parts. Rinse with warm water and allow to completely dry.
Inside Bottom Pan of Grill Body
To avoid flare-ups, the bottom pan of the cooking box should be kept clean on a regular basis. Remove residue using a brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse with warm water. Avoid water splashing into vent tubes of burners.
Grease Cup
Empty the grease cup and clean with mild dish soap and warm water on a regular basis.
Checking The Flame
For maximum fuel efficiency and cooking performance, flame should be a blue- yellow color and be between 1- 2 inches high. To check the flame ,view the flame through the holes in both sides of the firebox.
