Gas Hook-Up

Lp Gas Hook-Up For Type 1 Or Qcc1 Regulator ( Standard with grill):
Gas Hook-Up
The Element by grill is orifical for use with LP gas and comes equipped with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included. LP hose and fittings are included. Operating pressure: 10” W.C.

To connect the LP regulator and hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the fl ow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (FIG. 01) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the  black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not over tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valve on the unit to the high position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge, turn valves off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the burners.

To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter-clockwise. The inlet will then disengage, remove the inlet from the  tank valve opening if it has not already done so when disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fi ll your tank.

Lp Tank Requirements:

A dented or rust LP tank may be hazardous and should be
checked by your local supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and market in accordance with specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator and hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator and hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. 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.
Lp Tank Requirements:
Note: When an LP unit is directly attached into an LP house system, the step down regulator MUST be used to reduce the supply pressure to a max. 14” W.C. and a min. 11” W.C. to the grill regulator.

Leak Testing

General:
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness 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, or immediately if the smell of gas is detected.

Before Testing:
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never 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 LP units, check with a full cylinder. Remove the control knobs and battery to disable accidental ignition. Open the drawer containing LP ornatural gas hook up, this is where all tests will be performed.

To Test:
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe.

If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.

WARNING:
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Check all gas supply fittings for abrasions, cracks and leaks before each use. It is recommended to keep a spray bottle filled with soapy water near the shutoff valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. (FIG. 02).

Maintenance

WARNING: IMPORTANT!
Before lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.

Grill Burner:
Remove grill lid, diffuser panel, grate, and burner. Remove screw holding burner to grill body by unscrewing counter-clockwise.

Grill Burner Flame Height:
The factory burners have been set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct fl ame pattern is shown in (FIG. 04).

  1. Burner tube
  2. Tips occasionally fl icker yellow
  3. Light blue
  4. Dark blue

If fl ames do not appear to be uniform throughout the burner tube, check if the ventilation openings of the burner tube are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. In order for burner to work properly there must be no obstructing the fl ow of combustion or ventilation air. Proceed with cleaning instructions below.

Grill Burner Exterior Cleaning:
Grill Burner Flame Height

Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clean stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip (FIG. 05B). Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Shake out any debris. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked (FIG. 05A). If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened out.

Orifice Cleaning:

With burner removed remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle.

WARNING:
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CENTER THE BURNER ON THE ORIFICE PROPERLY TO PREVENT A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

WARNING:
DO NOT REMOVE BURNER OR PERFORM CLEANING WHILE GRILL IS STILL HOT

Cleaning
Residues Cup Replacement:
Check residue cup before each use for debris build-up.

Standard 4 oz. aluminum cup replacements can be purchased at most general or grocery stores. (FIG. 06)

** Cast Iron Grate And Frame Cleaning:**
Clean the cast iron grate with a wire brush.

Igniter Tip Cleaning:
Grill Burner Flame Height

If lighting the burners is daffy cult you may need to clean and adjust the igniter tip located near the burner edge. (FIG. 07) To ensure that the igniter lights properly, clean off any cooking residue that builds up on igniter tip and burner. Use a very fi ne grit sand paper to clean igniter tip and edge of burner. Igniter tip should be 2–4 mm away from burner edge. This is the ideal distance for most effective ignition.

Surface:
Grill should be covered when not in use to protect it from outdoor elements. Wipe down surface to remove any cooking residue with a clean cotton or microfiber cloth. Clean stainless steel surface with a stainless steel cleaner and apply a polish to keep your grill looking its best.

Stubborn and heavily ingrained stains can be removed by sanding with a fi ne grade of sandpaper, being sure to work only with the direction of the timber grain. After sanding away stains like this you may need to re-oil the surface.

Wood prep shelf:
Clean wood shelf (on 01 and 02 models only) using a soft sponge and a solution of mild soapy water. Wash down afterwards with clean water.

Do not use high pressure hoses, steel wool or wire brushes as all and any residue left in the grain will rust and discolor the wood.

Using The Grill

Cast Iron Grate Seasoning It is recommended to season your cast iron grate before you begin cooking on your Element grill. A well-seasoned grate will resist rust and create a virtually nonstick surface for cooking.

  1. Remove the grate from packing materials.
  2. Brush vegetable oil lightly over cast iron pieces to coat the entire surface.
  3. Heat the grate to approximately 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) on low over your grill with the lid closed for approximately 20 minutes.
  4. Wipe the grate well with a paper towel, and let it cool completely before use.
  5. To preserve this natural, protective coating DO NOT USE SOAP when cleaning a seasoned grate. Instead, scrub the grate with a mixture of salt and vegetable oil, rinse with hot water, and dry completely over low heat before storing.

Cast Iron Grate Preheating

It is important to preheat your grill surface prior to cooking to ensure an overall hot surface with even temperature. As the grates are made of cast iron, they take some time to heat but retain that heat extremely well and provide an excellent cooking surface for grilling.

  1. Turn the burner on high.
  2. Cover the grill surface with the lid and heat on medium for approximately 10 minutes. Remove the lid, adjust to desired temperature and begin cooking.

Cast Iron Grate Cleaning After Grilling

Cleaning Grill Grates:

  1. Turn the burner on medium heat for approximately 10-20 minutes to burn away any food debris and/or grease.
  2. Let grill cool completely.
  3. Brush grates with wire brush to remove any remaining debris.
  4. If necessary, scrub the grate with a mixture of salt and vegetable oil, rinse with hot water, and dry completely over low heat before storing.

  5. Never use both burners on high setting when cooking with the lid closed. Pre-Heat the Pizza Stone and cook the ingredients

  6. With the lid off, pre-heat the stone with direct heat (both inner and outer burners) on medium/high. Keeping the lid off will help distribute the heat most evenly throughout the stone. Pre-heat for 10-20 minutes.

  7. While the stone is heating begin to prepare the ingredients.
    Note: Only cooked meat should go on the pizza. Any raw meat should not be placed on the pizza because it will not have the proper time to cook. Cooking the Pizza

  8. After fully heating the stone for 10-20 minutes, turn burner to indirect heat setting (outer ring only).

  9. Slide raw pizza onto the stone, cover with lid and leave all lid vents open.

  10. A pizza will cook approx every 8-15 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the pizza.

  11. Cooking Tip: When cooking for the fi rst time, check the pizza frequently. When the cheese on the surface is thoroughly melted  and the pizza bottom starts to turn brown, it is ready to serve.BE CAREFUL, the stone will be extremely HOT. It is recommend ed to use a pizza peel for transferring the pizza to and from the stone and plenty of cornmeal or fl our so the dough doesn’t stick.

  12. The pizza stone is made of cordierite. The material is able to retain a wide range of temperatures for baking breads and cakes. The material’s porous surface pulls moisture away from the bread while baking, making the bread light and crispy underneath. Cleaning

  13. Allow the stone to cool down completely before removing from the grill. Clean with a cloth or scourer with hot water. Soap detergent may be used but do not soak in soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

  14. It is normal to have baked-on food stains that may discolor the stone over time. This will not affect the performance or hygiene of the stone if is cleaned properly after each use.
