CHARCOAL GRILL – PREPARATION

PREPARING TO USE THE CHARCOAL SIDE OF YOUR GRILL

Before cooking with your grill, the following steps should be closely followed to both cure the finish and season the interior steel. Failure to properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic flavors to your first foods.

• Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable cooking oil.
• Build a small fire on the charcoal pan, being sure not to lay coals against the walls.
• Close lid, position butterfly dampers at approximately one quarter turn open. This burn should be sustained for at least two hours. Begin increasing the temperature by opening the butterfly dampers halfway and adding more charcoal. Your grill is now ready for use.

Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a light coat of vegetable oil on the interior surfaces will aid in the protection of your grill. Exterior surfaces of the grill may need occasional touch up. We recommend the use of commercially available black high temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE GRILL!
Please see information regarding Uncoated Cast Iron Grates and Cooking Tools below.
First Time Use:
Before using a cast iron grate or other cast iron cooking tool, 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 like Char-Broil’s Brush Hawg. Reapply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above to re-season the grates.
Maintenance:
Do not do a burn-off after you grill, but rather leave the cooking residues on the grates to keep a protective coating on the cast iron. Do a burn-off just before you grill. The more you use your cast iron grates, the easier the maintenance will be.
Store in a dry place. If you store your grates for an extended period of time, grease very lightly with vegetable shortening, then wipe dry with a paper towel.

GRILLING

Charcoal is recommended, however, wood or a combination of both may be used as the fuel source for grilling with the fuel source placed and ignited on the charcoal pan. Do not build too large of 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. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the cooking grate on the unit. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

GRILL MAINTENANCE

Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the grill is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished before cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of the unit with a cloth or paper towels.
When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out all remaining ashes. Ashes collect moisture, which can lead to premature rusting and decay. Periodically coating the interior surfaces with vegetable oil will aid in the protection of your unit. Also, occasional touch up of the exterior paint will be required. Black, high-temperature spray paint is recommended. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT.
Cooking Surface: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

CHARCOAL GRILL – COOKING TIPS

Building Your Fire

1. Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal pan.
   We recommend using 2 pounds (approximately 30 briquettes) to start your fire, adding more as needed.

2. If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for approximately 5 minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

3.  After allowing the lighter fluid to properly soak in, light the pile of briquettes in several locations to ensure an even burn. Always light the fire with the grill lid open.
   Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighter fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire when lid is opened.

4. Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as flashbacks may occur causing injury.

5. You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquettes ashes over and produces a red glow (approximately 12 – 15 minutes).

6. Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquettes in a pile or spread evenly across the charcoal grate using a long-handled poker.

*Always use caution when handling hot coals to prevent injury.

Know When Your Fire is Ready
Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The general rule for knowing when your coals are ready for grilling is to make sure that 80 percent or more of the coals are ashy gray. If you have less than that, the coals are not ready, and if all of them are glowing red hot, the fire is probably too hot. Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the temperature of your fire:

• If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which makes the fire less intense.
• Raise or lower the adjustable charcoal grate.
• Partially close the vents in the grill, which reduces the amount of oxygen that feeds the fire.
• Use the indirect grilling method, with coals to either side of a drip pan and the food over the pan rather than directly over the coals.
• n the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with water from a squirt bottle. Be careful, spraying with water tends to blow ashes around and make a mess.
• Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn time. Allow 10 minutes for coals to ash over before adding more.

THE HEAT OF THE COALS

| seconds you can hold the palm of
your hand 4 inches above the coals| temperature range (Fº)| visual cues
---|---|---|---
HOT COALS| 2| 400 to 450| barely covered with gray ash; deep red glow
MODERATELY HOT

MODERATELY HOT COALS| 4| 325 to 375| significant coating of gray ash; red glow
MODERATELY COOL COALS| 5| 300 to 325| thick coating of gray ash; dull red glow

Direct and Indirect Grilling

Direct Grilling – For most grilling, the ignited coals are spread in a single layer under the food. This is called direct grilling and is appropriate for relatively quick-cooking items such as hamburgers, steaks and most seafood. The single layer of coals emits even, steady heat, whether the grill lid is open or closed, and represents the way most people grill. For more control, pile some of the coals on one side of the grill where they will emit intense heat. You can move the food around on the grill, setting it over the very hot coals when you want to sear it or when a thick piece needs to cook a little more quickly. You can also use the adjustable charcoal grate and dampers to control the temperature in your grill.
Indirect Grilling – For items that take longer to cook, you will want to use indirect grilling. This method is for long, slow cooking in a covered grill. For indirect cooking, the coals are piled two or three coals deep on one side of the grill, 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. 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.) Once you get used to the indirect method, you  ay 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.
Grilling 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 general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have very 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 tastes bitter.

GRILLING GUIDE – GAS GRILL – Getting Started

First Time Use
Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put together properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising material from all grill surfaces before first use. We recommend operating your grill on its highest setting for 15-20 minutes prior to your first use.
This aids in removing the oils used during manufacturing.
Lava Rock / Briquettes
This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to be used with flame tamers or heat distribution plates to provide more even heating, improve the cleaning process, and reduce flare-ups. The addition of after market lava rocks, charcoal, or briquettes of any type will cause poor combustion and increase the likelihood of a grease fire, and is not recommended. Using briquettes, lava rock, or charcoal in this grill will void your warranty. For extra smoke flavor, we recommend using a smoker box with wood chips.

Temperature
The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill measures air temperature. The air temperature inside your grill will never be as hot as the temperature at the cooking surface.
Note: Since 1995, all regulators (the part that attaches to the gas tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a safety feature that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas using the grill control knob before you turn on the LP tank valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates, the grill will only reach temperatures between 250°F and 300°F even with all burners on the high setting.

If your grill is not getting hotter than 250°F to 300°F these steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety device:

1. Open the grill lid.
2. Turn off all knobs on the control panel in front.
3. Turn off the tank knob.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank.
7. Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way. Do not put excessive force on the valve at the full open position to avoid damaging the valve.
8. Turn on the appropriate control knob and light the grill per the instructions on the control panel.

An illustration of this process is included in this Product Guide.
See Troubleshooting section for additional information.

Pre-Heating Your Grill
Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated to provide optimum performance. Pre-heat the grill on high for 1015 minutes – longer if weather conditions require. Please refer to the lighting instructions inside the Product Guide if you have questions about how to light your grill.
A match-light chain and hole is provided for your convenience.

Outdoor grilling is really quite simple. You’ll succeed with burgers, dogs, or steaks usually on your very first try. With experience, you will learn how to work with your grill, creating more imaginative meals all the time. This knowledge makes up the art of grilling. Before you start grilling, organize your food according to cooking technique and required cooking time, and optimize the use of your grilling area.
Direct Cooking
Direct cooking involves grilling your meat directly over high heat.
It is perfect for searing steaks, chops, and other smaller pieces of meat and vegetables that quickly make their way to the table.

Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking utilizes select burners to circulate heat throughout the grill, without direct contact between the meat and the flame. The meat is placed over the burner that is ‘off’. This method is generally used to slow cook large cuts of meat and poultry. A pan can be placed underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings, and helps minimize clean-up.

Rotisserie Cooking
Rotisserie cooking is best for ’round’ meat, such as large roasts, whole poultry, and pork. It generally requires an accessory motor and spit rod that allows the meat to be turned at a constant speed. Rotisserie cooking is best done in front of a special rotisserie burner, or utilizing an indirect cooking burner arrangement. A pan can be placed underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings, and helps minimize clean-up.

Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean : Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat.
Separate : Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook : Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill : Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

GRILLING GUIDE – Tips & Tricks

Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking.
Grilling can be affected by many external conditions. In cold weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking temperature, and grilling may take longer. The meat’s internal temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times. Cold and thicker meats will take longer to cook.
Internal Meat Temperatures Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside.
Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached safe internal temperatures.

USDA Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures

USDA Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures

Beef, Veal, Lamb, Steak, Roasts, & Whole Pork (with a 3 minute rest time)| 145° F
Fish| 145° F
Beef, Veal, Lamb, and Pork – Ground| 160° F
Egg Dishes| 160° F
Turkey, Chicken & Duck Whole, Pieces & Ground| 165° F

Please refer to the USDA for complete, up-to-date information.
Our internal temperature chart is based on USDA standards for meat doneness. Check it out at www.isitdoneyet.gov

Sauces
Sauces containing sugars and fats can cause flare-ups, and your food may burn. In general, apply these sauces during the final 10 minutes of cooking. Keep in mind, use of excessive sauces or glazes will also require extra cleaning afterwards.
Marinades and Rubs
To enhance the flavor of grilled foods, a liquid marinade or dry rub can be used prior to cooking. Meat can be either soaked or injected with liquid marinade up to 24 hours prior to grilling. Dry rubs can be applied directly to the meat immediately before grilling.

Wood Chips
For extra smoke flavor when grilling, try adding wood chips.
Soak the chips in water for approximately 30 minutes before adding to a smoke box or pan. Place smoke box or pan on top of the cooking grate above the flame. Turn grill on high until the wood starts to smoke. Reduce heat to desired temperature for cooking, and place food on cooking grate as desired. Close lid to retain more smoke. Hardwood varieties that work particularly well with grilled foods include Alder, Apple, Cherry, Grapevines, Hickory, Mesquite, Oak, Rosemary and Sassafras. Skewers
Metal skewers should be flat, with long handles. Round skewers allow food to roll when turned, so it may not cook as evenly. Use metal skewers when cooking meat kabobs. Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for an hour before use, and are best used for quick cooking foods such as vegetables and fruits. Utensils
Use tongs or a spatula to handle the food instead of a fork, and don’t turn the food too often. Piercing the food with a fork will release juices that you want in the meat, and may cause flare-ups.

GRILLING GUIDE – Cleaning Your Grill

Why Clean?
We’ve all heard the saying, ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ This is great advice when it comes to keeping your grill clean.

Routine Care
Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary, as grill fires can occur when grease and food debris collect in the bottom of the grill.
After each use, remove any remaining food particles from the cooking grate and inside of the grill using a grill brush. Do this after the grill has cooled down, yet is still warm. It is much easier to clean food particles while warmth is still present, than after the food particles have completely cooled and hardened. This grill is not designed to be ‘burned off’ by closing the lid and turning the burners on High for an extended time. The excessive heat generated can cause leftover grease to catch fire, and can cause permanent
damage to your grill.![Char Broil 463724512 Combination Gas or Charcoal Grill

• Routine Care](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Char- Broil-463724512-Combination-Gas-or-Charcoal-Grill-Routine-Care.png) General Cleaning
  Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
  Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain conditions. This can be caused by environmental conditions such as chlorine or salt water, or improper cleaning tools such as wire or steel wool. It can also discolor due to heat, chemicals, or grease build-up. To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm water, or use a stainless steel grill cleaner. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
Storing Your Grill

• Clean cooking grates.
• Store grill in dry location.
• When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well ventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by manufacturer.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off, disconnected, and removed from grill. Never store LP cylinder indoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow the ‘Cleaning the Burner Assembly’ instructions in the Use and Care section of the Product Guide.

USE AND CARE

DANGER

• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the appliance or in an enclosed area.
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.

LP Cylinder Removal, Transport and Storage

• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Turn coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only – do not use tools to disconnect. Loosen cylinder screw beneath bottom shelf, then lift LP cylinder up and out of cart. Install safety cap onto LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.
  Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

• A disconnected LP cylinder in storage or being transported must have a safety cap installed (as shown).
  Do not store an LP cylinder in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP cylinder inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.

• Do not store an LP cylinder in an area where children play.

LP Cylinder

• The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the following requirements:

• Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12″ (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18″ (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) capacity maximum.

• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods. Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for marking.

• LP cylinder valve must have:

• Type 1 outlet compatible with
  regulator or grill.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overfill Protection
  Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

• LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.
  LP cylinder in upright position for vapor withdrawal

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.
  LP Cylinder Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.

• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by temperature.

• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.

• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere.
  This is a hazardous practice.

• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP dealers.

LP Cylinder Exchange

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the “LP Cylinder” section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE connecting to grill.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever 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 may result in leakage of propane.

LP Cylinder Leak Test
For your safety

• Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is exchanged or refilled.

• Do not smoke during leak test.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.

• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution.
  Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure below.

• Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train components can result.

WARNING

If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP cylinder. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder

1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill. (Refer to assembly section.)

2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.

3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.

4. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.Do not use a POL transport plug (plastic part with external threads)! It will defeat the safety feature of the valve.

5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand-tighten the coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line with LP cylinder valve so as not to cross-thread the connection.
   

6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.
   NOTE:
   If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!

DANGER

• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

WARNING

For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious Injury:

• Do not let children operate or play near grill.

• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that burn.

• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.

• Check burner flames regularly.

• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use in enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch, covered patio, or under an overhead structure of any
  kind.

• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill. (Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)

•  Do not cover grates with aluminum foil or any other material. This will block burner ventilation and create a potentially dangerous condition resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.

• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
  Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.

• Apartment Dwellers:
  Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.

•   NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is hazardous.

• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct position specified in assembly instructions.

•  Always close LP cylinder valve and remove coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from specified operation position.

Safety Tips

• Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for tightness.
• When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder valve.
• Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
• Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns and splatters.
• Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
• The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has completely cooled.
• Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
• If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once. Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.
• Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free and clear of debris.
• Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
• The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
• If you have a grill problem see the “Troubleshooting Section”.
  If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

CAUTION

• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and LP cylinder off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.

  1. Turn OFF gas burner control valves.
  2. Turn ON gas at LP cylinder.
  3. Open lid during lighting.
  4. To ignite, push and turn ignition burner knob to HI.
  5. Push and hold ELECTRONIC IGNITION button until the burner lights.
  6. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner  controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lightingprocedure.
  7. To ignite remaining burners, turn knob to the HI position starting with the burners closest to IGNITION BURNERS first.
  If ignitor does not work, follow match lighting instructions.
  Lighting instructions are continued on the next page
  Ignitor Lighting (continued)
  8. For grills equipped with ELECTRONIC IGNITION at each burner:
  Repeat steps 4 through 6 to light each burner.
  9. Once each burner has ignited, turn knobs to desired setting.

WARNING
Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF when not in use.
CAUTION

If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the burner and could accidently ignite with risk of injury.

Match-Lighting
• Do not lean over grill while lighting.

1.  Open lid. Turn ON gas at LP cylinder.

2.  Place match into match holder (hanging from side panel of grill). Light match; then light burner by placing match through the match light hole on right or left side of grill.

3.  Push in and turn far right or far left burner knob to the HI burner lights and stays lit.
   position, depending on match light hole selected. Be sure

4. Light adjacent burners in sequence by pushing knobs in and turning to the HI position.

Sideburner Ignitor Lighting
• Do not lean over grill while lighting.

1. Open sideburner lid. Turn ON gas at LP cylinder.
2.  Turn sideburner knob to the HI position, push and hold ELECTRONIC IGNITION button.
3. If sideburner does NOT light within 5 seconds, turn knob to OFFwait 5 minutes, then repeat lighting procedure.

Sideburner Match Lighting

1.  Open sideburner lid. Turn ON gas at LP cylinder.
2. Place lit match near burner.
3. Turn sideburner knob to the HI position.
   Be sure burner lights and stays lit.

Burner Flame Check

•  Remove cooking grates and flame tamers. Light burners, rotate knobs from HI to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HI. Perform burner flame check on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to “Sudden drop or low flame” in the Troubleshooting Section.

Turning Grill Off

•  Turn all knobs to the OFFposition. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop. Ignitor Check

• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor button. “Click” should be heard and spark seen each time between each collector box or burner and electrode. See “Troubleshooting” if no click or spark.
  Valve Check

• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check
  valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to position. Valves should turn smoothly. OFF
  Hose Check

•  Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
  Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.
  General Grill Cleaning

•  Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
  s Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning
  pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.
  Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

•  Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the venturi’s.

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Storing Your Grill

• Clean cooking grates.
•  Store in dry location.
• When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a wellventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered bymanufacturers.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
•  When removing grill from storage, follow
  “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instructions before starting grill.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1.  Turn gas OFF at control knobs and LP cylinder.

2. Remove cooking grates and flame tamers.

3. Remove carryover tubes and burners.

4. Detach electrode from burner.
   NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner configuration. See different configurations in illustrations below.

5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
   We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.
   (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.
   
   (B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube several times.
   (C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

6.  Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

7.  Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
   VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See illustrations at right.
   

9. Attach electrode to burner.

10. Carefully replace burners.

11. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

12. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace flame tamers and cooking grates.
