GRILLING GUIDE 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 – Convective Grills ONLY. 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.
Regulator
Coupling Nut
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.

GRILLING GUIDE Grilling 101
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.
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.
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.
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
Beef, Veal, Lamb, Steak, Roasts, & Whole Pork (with a 3 minute rest time)
145° F
Fish Beef, Veal, Lamb, and Pork – Ground
145° F 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.
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

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 OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check · Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn or kinked.
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!
SPIDER AND WEBS INSIDE BURNER TUBE
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.
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.
CONTROL PANEL
VALVE
SPIDER WEBS INSIDE VENTURI
BURNER
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 well-
ventilated space and out of reach of children. · Cover grill if stored
outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturers. · 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.
(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.

· Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not fully connected.
ELECTRICAL ISSUES: · Electrode cracked or broken; “sparks at
crack.” · Electrode tip not in proper position.
· Wire and/or electrode covered with cooking residue.
· Wires are loose or disconnected. · Wires are shorting (sparking) between
ignitor and electrode. · Dead battery.
Prevention/Solution
· See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section. · Make sure
valves are positioned inside of burner tubes. · Ensure burner tubes are not
obstructed with spider webs or other
matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care. · Make sure LP cylinder is not
empty. If LP cylinder is not empty,
refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow.” · For a grill equipped with the AUTO-
CLEANTM feature, make sure the AUTO-CLEANTM valve is set to “Grill” · Turn off
knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder.
Reconnect and retry. · Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-
quarters
additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools. ·
Replace electrode(s).
Main Burners: · Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner. The distance should be 1/8″ to 1/4″. Adjust if necessary. Sideburner:
· Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner. the distance should be 1/8″ to 3/16″. Adjust if necessary. · Clean
wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.
· Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly. · Replace ignitor
wire/electrode assembly.
· Replace with a new alkaline battery.

Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem Burner(s) will not light using ignitor. (See Electronic Ignition Troubleshooting also)
Possible Cause ELECTRONIC IGNITION: · No spark, no ignition noise. · No spark,
some ignition noise. · Sparks, but not at electrode or at full
strength.
Burner(s) will not match light. Sudden drop in gas flow or low flame.
· See “GAS ISSUES:” on previous page. · Match will not reach. · Improper method of match-lighting. · Out of gas. · Excess flow valve tripped.
Flames blow out. Flare-up. Persistent grease fire.
· Vapor lock at coupling nut/LP cylinder connection.
· High or gusting winds. · Low on LP gas. · Excess flow valve tripped. ·
Grease buildup. · Excessive fat in meat. · Excessive cooking temperature.
· Grease trapped by food buildup around burner system.
Prevention/Solution
· See Section I of Electronic Ignition System. · See Section II of Electronic
Ignition System. · See Section III of Electronic Ignition System.
· Use long-stem match (fireplace match). · See “Match-Lighting” section of Use
and Care. · Check for gas in LP cylinder. · Turn off knobs, wait 30 seconds
and light grill. If flames are still low,
turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator. Reconnect
regulator and leak-test. Turn on LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and then
light grill. · Turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling nut
from cylinder. Reconnect and retry. · Turn front of grill to face wind or
increase flame height. · Refill LP cylinder. · Refer to “Sudden drop in gas
flow” above. · Clean burners and inside of grill/firebox. · Trim fat from meat
before grilling. · Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly. · Turn knobs to
OFF. Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Leave lid in position and let fire burn out.
After grill cools, remove and clean all parts.
Flashback… (fire in burner tube(s)). Unable to fill LP cylinder. One burner
does not light from other burner(s). AUTO-CLEANTM
(If Equipped)
Timer does not work (Green light does not flash)
No LED’s will illuminate
· Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.
· Some dealers have older fill nozzles with worn threads.
· Grease buildup or food particles in end(s) of carryover tube(s).
· Turn knobs to OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes. See burner cleaning
section of Use and Care.
· The worn nozzles don’t have enough “bite” to engage the valve. Try a second
LP dealer.
· Clean carry-over tube(s) with wire brush.
