LP Gas and Cylinder Information
Your new grill operates on LP (Liquified Petroleum) Gas. It is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic when produced. You can smell LP gas as it has been given an odor similar to rotten eggs for your safety. Your grill uses the newest and safest LP gas cylinder (tank) which includes two features:

1. An OPD (Overfill Protection Device) — prevents accidental gas leaks caused by overfilling of the tank. Each tank contains a float that closes the input valve when the tank is 80% full. This allows room for the propane gas to expand in hot temperatures. A triangular hand wheel distinguishes this type of tank.
2. An OCC1 Type1 Quick Connect Valve that provides fast tank hook-ups and requires only to be tightened by hand.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

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

CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS:

WARNING

1. Do not clean any part of your barbecue 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.

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 will 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, being careful to avoid burns.
OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES Wash with mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. A cloth, soft brush (non-metallic), or plastic cleaning pad can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
COOKING GRATES AND HEAT DIFFUSERS Use a stiff brass brush. Wash with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent, rinse and dry.
GREASE CUP Check after each use. Remove and empty the grease cup when half full. It 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.
CHARCOAL PAN AND ASH TRAY After the charcoals burn out completely after grilling,clean the ash dropping from the perforated charcoal pan to the ash tray. Pull out the ash tray and empty out the cold ash and grease.
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 uneven or low heat, or difficulty igniting the burners. In cases of severe blockage, this may cause the flame to burn backwards, and outside of the burner tubes, which can cause damage to your grill and/or personal injury. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE FLOW OF PROPANE GAS AT THE TANK BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL CLOCKWISE TO FULL STOP 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 propane tank.

2. Remove the cooking grates, 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 a 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. ALWAYS

1. Keep the grilling area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Do not obstruct the air flow for combustion and ventilation.
3. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

GRILL STORAGE

1. Clean your grill before storage.
2. Storage of a gas grill indoors is permissible only if the propane tank is disconnected and removed from the gas grill.
3. Cover the grill.
4. Perform a Leak Test before using the grill after it has been kept in storage for some time.

PREHEATING: 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.
For food that requires a high cooking temperature, the grill should be preheated for five minutes; for food that requires a lower cooking temperature, the grill should be preheated for two to three minutes.
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 on the other side. Heat from the lighted burner 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.
CAUTION: If the burners go out during use, close the gas supply at source, and turn off all gas valves. Open the lid and wait five minutes before attempting to re-light (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
CAUTION: In case of a grease fire, close the gas supply at source, turn off all burners and leave the lid closed until the fire is out.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while the grill is being used. As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will ensure your grill is in top operating condition and will prolong its life.
CAUTION: The side burner lid will get hot if it is used when the lid is closed.
