LP GAS AND CYLINDER INFORMATION
Your new gas 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.

The LP cylinder used with your grill must have two features:

An OPD (Overfill Protection Device) that prevents accidental gas leaks caused by overfilling of the cylinder. Each cylinder contains a float that closes the input value when the cylinder is 80% full. This allows room or the propane gas to expand in hot temperatures. A triangular hand wheel distinguishes this type of cylinder.
An QCC1 Type1 Quick Connect Valve that provides fast cylinder hook-ups and requires only to be tightened by hand.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

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

CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS

Cylinder purchased or exchanged for your gas grill must be manufactured and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas cylinder of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA –B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, be equipped with a listed over-filling prevention device (OPD), and be equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with connection for outdoor cooking appliances.

Replacement parts, including a replacement hose assembly, must be as per the specifications in the parts list.

Failure to comply with these instructions may result in serious bodily injury.

Operating Instructions

Each grill burner is tested and calibrated at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. Please visually check the flames of the burners. Always visually inspect your grill before lighting. Replace any hose that is frayed or cracked. Look for anything that could block ventilation and remove such a blockage or move the grill. After lighting, check the flame pattern to ensure you have even heat distribution for each burner. If burners don’t light up, or if the flame pattern is uneven, see the Troubleshooting section.

WARNING: BEFORE LIGHTING !

Read the instructions before lighting.
If the burner does not ignite in 5 seconds, turn the burner control knob(s) off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.
Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas “ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit.
Never use regulators and hose assemblies other than those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is necessary, contact the manufacturer to get the proper replacement. The replacement must be as per the specifications in the Owner’s Manual. DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS USING ELECTRONIC IGNITION

Turn ALL control knobs to OFF position.
Turn gas supply on at LP cylinder valve or at regulator.
Push in control knob and turn it anti-clockwise to HI position. Push and hold ignitor button to light the burner.
If the burner does not ignite, turn control knob to OFF position, wait for 5 minutes before attempting to relight the burner.
If the burner ignites, repeat for other burners, and turn the control knobs to the temperature setting required for your food.

Should the burners still fail to ignite, check the gas supply.

MANUALLY LIGHTING THE BURNERS WITH MATCH STICK

Turn ALL control knobs to OFF position.
Turn gas supply on at LP cylinder valve or at regulator.
Put a match in the match holder. Match holder is attached to side panel.
Place the lit match through the match lighting hole on side panel. Make sure the lit match is close to the burner ports.
Push in control knob and turn it anti-clockwise to HI position. The burner should light immediately.
If the burner does not ignite, turn control knob to OFF position, wait for 5 minutes before attempting to relight the burner.
If the burner ignites, repeat for other burners, and turn control knobs to the temperature setting required for your food.

Should the burners still fail to ignite, check the gas supply.

TURNING OFF YOUR GRILL

Turn off the gas supply at the LP cylinder by turning the valve clockwise to a full stop.
Turn all burner control knobs to OFF position.

WARNING !
Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting!

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.

FIRST TIME USE
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, burn it off to rid it of any odors or shipping oil in the following manner:

With cooking grates installed in position, turn on the gas grill and operate on HI position for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, turn all control knobs and gas supply to OFF position.
When gas grill is cool, remove cooking grates and wash off the cooking grates by using soapy water and a towel or paper towels. Rinse off the soap and air dry. Next, thoroughly season cooking grates by spraying or wiping olive or vegetable oil on them. Ensure that the entire surface is generously coated including the corners.
For cast iron cooking grates, light seasoning should be done before every usage.
Your grill is ready to cook. Proceed to “PREHEATING”.

PREHEATING
It is necessary to preheat the grill before cooking, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature. Preheat the gas grill on MEDIUM/HIGH for 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat as appropriate for what you are grilling. Next, brush or spray the cooking grates with olive or vegetable oil to prevent food from sticking.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Your new grill has been designed and manufactured to high quality standards. It will provide you with many years of fun grilling time, however, it requires a minimal amount of maintenance.
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.

WARNING !

Do not clean any part of your grill in a self-cleaning oven.
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive kitchen cleaners, cleaners that contain citrus products, or mineral spirits.
Clean your grill regularly to prevent grease buildup, grease fires or excessive flare-ups.
Always allow the grill to cool down prior to cleaning.

Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the firebox and the grease tray at the bottom of the grill’s firebox. Remove the grease from the bottom of the firebox and grease tray regularly.

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 can 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 and be careful to avoid burns.
OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES
Wash with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. You can use a cloth, soft brush (non-metallic), or plastic cleaning pad. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
COOKING GRATES AND FLAME TAMERS
Use a stiff brass brush. Wash with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent, rinse and dry.
GREASE CUP / TRAY
Check after each use. Remove and empty the grease cup when half full. Remove and clean the grease tray as grease builds up. Both 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.

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 the grill generating uneven or low heat, or difficulty in igniting the burners. In cases of severe blockage, this can cause the flame to burn backwards, and outside of the burner tubes, which can damage your grill and/or cause personal injury. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE FLOW OF PROPANE GAS AT THE CYLINDER BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL CLOCKWISE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN. Wait for the grill to cool down and then clean all burners.

CLEANING THE BURNERS

Ensure the gas is turned off at the LP cylinder.
Remove the cooking grates and flame tamers.
Lift each burner up and out.
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.
Brush the outer surface of the burner.
Ensure all ports (holes) are free of debris.
Inspect the burners. Replace any that have cracks or enlarged ports.
Replace flame tamers and cooking grates.
Perform the Leak Test described earlier in this Owner’s Manual.

WARNING !

Proper placement of the burner and valve is vital to ensure safety.
Do not use any strong or grinding solvents or abrasive pads, as they can damage surfaces and leave behind scratch marks.

GRILL STORAGE

Clean your grill before storage. Store at a cool dry place.
Storage of a gas grill indoors is permissible only if the LP cylinder is disconnected and removed from the gas grill.
A cover is highly recommended to protect your grill. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by the manufacturers.
Perform a Leak Test before using the grill after it has been kept in storage for some time.
