BEFORE GRILLING
SHIPMENT ARRIVING DAMAGED:
VISIBLE DAMAGE If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the
box/carton, be sure the damage is noted on the bill of freight or express
receipt and signed by the person making the delivery. File a claim for damages
immediately, regardless of the extent of the damage.
CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the grill is unpacked, notify the
transportation company or carrier immediately and file a concealed damage
claim with them. This should be done within (5) days of the delivery date. Be
sure to hold on to the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume
responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Creates a soapy water solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water. Confirm that
all control knobs are in the off position. Turn on the fuel supply. For
natural gas, turn the valve handle ¼ turn to align with the gas flow. For LP,
turn the cylinder valve counterclockwise for one full rotation. Apply the soap
solution generously with a paintbrush or squirt bottle on all connections and
fittings. If a bubble appears to grow on any of the connections, you have a
gas leak.
IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply. Wash off the soapy solution with cold
water and dry. Tighten the loose joint or replace the faulty part with
manufacturer-recommended replacement parts. DO NOT attempt to repair the L.P.
cylinder valve if it is damaged. The only way to safely resolve a damaged
cylinder is to replace it by calling an authorized gas appliance service
technician or an LP gas dealer. Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks
are present. Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
BE MINDFUL OF WIND DIRECTION
When selecting a suitable location, consider important factors such as
exposure to the wind and foot traffic patterns. If you have a freestanding
grill, position it so the prevailing wind blows into the front control panel
(at your back when grilling), allowing for proper front to rear airflow.
Built-in grills located in areas with prevailing winds should be protected by
a wind barrier, wind deflector, or wind guard. The grill is designed to pull
in air from the front and exhaust through the rear of the unit. Winds hitting
the back of the grill directly may cause problems. Be sure the wind doesn’t
blow into the hood gap.
GAS LINE LENGTH
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas lines lose pressure over
distance and with each elbow or “t” fitting added. This drop in pressure
affects grill performance. PROPER LEVELING PROPER LEVELING DURING INSTALLATION
IS CRITICAL. A GRILL THAT IS OUT OF LEVEL WILL CAUSE ERRATIC BURNER COMBUSTION
AND INEFFICIENT, UNEVEN HEATING. THE GRILL SHOULD BE LEVEL IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
ADJUSTMENTS MAY NEED TO BE MADE EACH TIME WHEN MOVING A FREESTANDING UNIT.
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from construction zones. Construction
debris such as (but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime dust could
damage or permanently discolor stainless steel products. Keep all caustic
chemicals including chlorine and pool cleaning products away from stainless
steel at all times.

Converting to a different type of gas requires a conversion kit. conversion kits are included with this grill and located with the manual. Converting gases may require additional parts not included with this grill. (See Gas Conversion section for details).
IMPORTANT:
All installation and all installation parts must conform to local codes with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 70 latest edition, and the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2 in
Canada
NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS
- Summerset Professional Grills recommends that only qualified professionals perform the required plumbing on this product.
- Check the Rating Plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the grill is manufactured for.
- To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements of all the gasfired equipment that will be connected to that line.
- In no case should pipe less than 1/2” inside diameter or 1” outside diameter ever be used to connect this product.
NOTE: DO NOT use any tape, pipe dope, or threading compound on any flare fitting. This will cause a clog in the regulator and prevent your grill from functioning properly.
CONNECTING TO THE NG REGULATOR
LIQUID PROPANE TANK REQUIREMENTS
Turn off the gas at the supply when grill is not in use. Please ensure:
-
The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has direct communication with the vapor space of the tank.
-
The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
-
The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.
Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of an estimated 11” water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP gas tank. Summerset Professional Grills that only qualified -
Use a standard 20 lbs. LP tank with QCC – 1 fitting
-
Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lbs. LP cylinder (Type 1)
NOTE: DO NOT use any tape, pipe dope, or threading compound on any flare fitting. This will cause a clog in the regulator and prevent your grill from functioning properly.
CONNECTING TO THE LP TANK
The hose and regulator are connected in the following manner: -
Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupling nut clockwise until the coupling nut is hand tight. DO NOT over-tighten this connection.
-
To disconnect the coupling nut, first, make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp the coupling nut and turn counterclockwise. The inlet will then disengage.
FILLING AND REFILLING LP GAS CYLINDERS
All purging and refilling of LP gas cylinders must be performed by qualified
personnel in the LP gas industry. Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in an explosion, personal injury, or death.
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. liquid propane
gas (LP) tank with type (1) valve connections. (Not included) Never connect
your gas grill to an LP tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of
approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size
LP gas tank to use. A propane tank with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device)
must be used. This safety feature prevents the tank from being over-filled
which can cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator, and/or grill. The
LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Be sure to read and
follow all LP connection instructions. A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be
hazardous and should be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your LP
supplier. Always check for leaks after every LP cylinder change. (See Checking
For Leaks) Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of
the reach of children. If your grill is stored indoors, the LP cylinder must
be stored outside, in an upright position, and away from excessive heat.
IMPORTANT All installation and all installation parts must conform to
local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 70 latest
edition and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and
CGA-B149.1/.2 in Canada
CONNECTING TO A SIDE BURNER
You will need a ‘T’ adapter fitting (not provided) or a similar connection to
connect a single gas line to both a side burner and a grill. We recommend a
licensed gas technician install all gas lines. See the below figure for the
installation of a ‘T’ adapter.
LIQUID PROPANE INSTALLATION
NOTE : Ventilation is required in the enclosure on opposite sides to
create cross-ventilation. Liquid propane is heavier than natural gas and vents
should be located near the bottom of the enclosure.
WARNING!
Before lighting the burners, inspect the gas supply piping or hose. If there
is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
Always keep your face and body
as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.
Never operate the grill unattended. DO NOT OPERATE ROTISSERIE BURNER WITH
WARMING RACK INSTALLED
Your Summerset Professional Grill is equipped with reliable, high-efficiency
piezo ignition valves. Below are instructions for valve ignition and manual
ignition lighting.
LIGHTING THE GRILL / MAINTENANCE TIPS
VALVE IGNITION
PLEASE Keep your face and body away from the grill top when lighting
- Open the hood before lighting; do not attempt to ignite burners while the hood is closed.
- Make sure the gas supply is turned on.
- Make sure burner control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
- Press in the control knob then slightly turn the knob counterclockwise while still pressing in.
- Hold in the above position for 5 seconds allowing the gas to reach the manifold.
- Turn the knob counterclockwise past the ignition to the high setting to ignite. You will hear the one-time clicking sound of the spark ignition.
- After ignition, set the knob to the desired setting.
NOTE:
- If the burner doesn’t ignite, wait five (5) minutes before repeating steps 4-7.
- DO NOT turn on more than one valve at a time for either
MANUAL IGNITION
CAUTION: Always wait five (5) minutes for gas to clear after any
unsuccessful lighting attempt.
-
Follow steps 1-3
-
Place either a burning long-barrel butane lighter or a burning long-stem match near the manual flash tube to the right of the grill. For back burners, hold the flame against the surface of the back burner.
-
Hold the lighter or match flame at the top of the manual flash tube for five (5) seconds, or, next to the back burner. Then depress the appropriate control knob and while
pressing turn it counterclockwise to the HI position. Remove the lighter or match when the burner lights and release the control knob. -
If the burner does not light within five (5) seconds of turning the control knob, immediately depress the knob and turn the control knob off. Wait five (5) minutes before repeating steps 2-4 of the MANUAL LIGHTING instructions.
NOTE: Keep the hood closed during the pre-heat period.
BEFORE LIGHTING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER IMPORTANT: TO REMOVE THE WARMING RACK
PRIOR TO TURNING ON THE ROTISSERIE BURNER. Turning the rotisserie burner on
while the warming rack is installed will cause the warming rack to warp and
void the warranty.
MAINTENANCE TIPS PRE-HEATING THE GRILL Pre-heating your grill every time
you use it is extremely important. Pre-heating allows the briquettes to
properly heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking results.
Preheat your grill by igniting all main burners. Then close the hood and allow
the grill to heat for 10 to 15 minutes, the hood thermometer should reach
approximately 450°. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat temperature,
turn off the burners that you won’t be using to cook your food. Remember, the
surface temperature can be up to 200° higher.
SHUT OFF INSTRUCTIONS
- To shut off the unit, depress each valve control knob, and while pressing turn clockwise to the “OFF” position.
- Always close the valve from the gas supply after each use of the unit.
NOTE: When using a portable propane tank: Propane tanks are equipped with a safety shutdown device that may cause low or no gas pressure/flame at the burners if operating and lighting instructions are not followed exactly.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the grill is completely cool, remove the drip tray by pulling it out until it stops, then lifting the front edge until the drip tray comes free. Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning product and re-install. When using an oven-style cleaning product be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Many of these cleaners are toxic and can damage the stainless steel finish if not used properly. Also, check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill uncovered, you may need to remove the drip tray to drain the water from the tray.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
LOW FLAME ADJUSTMENT
- To Adjust the Burner to a Low Setting:
- Make sure the grill is cool
- Remove the racks so you can see the flames while adjusting the burners
- Light the burner and allow it to preheat on high for 3 minutes
- Turn the burner to “LOW”
- Pull off the control knob
- Use a flat head screwdriver and adjust the “gold flathead screw” in the valve to the proper flame height
MAINTENANCE TIPS
STAINLESS STEEL NEEDS TO BE CLEANED?!? ABSOLUTELY!
Stainless steels need to be cleaned for aesthetic considerations and to
preserve corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is protected from corrosion by
a thin layer of chromium oxide. Oxygen from the atmosphere combines with the
chromium in the stainless steel to form this passive chromium oxide film that
protects from further corrosion. Any contamination of the surface by dirt, or
other material, hinders this passivation process and traps corrosive agents
reducing corrosion protection. Thus, routine cleaning is necessary to preserve
the appearance and integrity of the surface.
GRILL EXTERIOR
Wash will warm soapy water and apply stainless steel polish to protect
routinely Grill Interior
GRILL EXTERIOR
• Burn off excess food debris and marinades for 15 minutes after cooking
• Once the unit is cool, turn over the burner covers and burn the top side
(the burner covers are reversible and are able to be mounted upside down for
cleaning purposes)
• Use an approved stainless-steel oven cleaner to remove grease build-up
• Routinely have a professional barbecue cleaning company detail the barbecue
for best results and longevity
STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
After each use wipes down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and
splatters. Use a commercially available stainless-steel cleaner to clean and
polish the exterior surfaces. Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes
the amount of effort required
When removing stubborn stains:
- Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direction of the grain
- Some household cleaning products are not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using them on the grill
- Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain
- Specks of grease may gather in the grain of the stainless steel and bake onto the surface, giving the appearance of rust
- To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless-steel cleaner
- Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel
- Be sure your Summerset products are well protected before using these products
IMPORTANT NOTE: FOR LOCATIONS NEAR COASTAL AREAS AND POOLS
304 stainless steel materials used in the construction of your Summerset
Professional Grill are highly rust-resistant, however, chlorine in the air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left on the product. Here are a few tips to avoid this:
- Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth (microfiber towels work well)
- Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover Do not cover a damp grill
- In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the grill
- For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the grill is dry, then cover and secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces After your first use, certain areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners – this is normal and cannot be cleaned off. For light and heavy food stains, there are many different stainless-steel cleaners available.
GRILL FEATURES
ROTISSERIE INSTALLATION
CAUTION: When using the back burner, keep the grill lid closed to prevent
heat loss, provide proper convection and provide proper venting. This will
ensure even cooking temperatures. Do not keep your grill lid open while
cooking on the rotisserie as this may cause personal injury, or in some cases,
in windy conditions, damage the grill. Do not use the rotisserie motor in the
rain. Do not leave the motor on the grill when not in use.
- Remove the warming rack, cooking grates, and cooking grates if necessary
- Mount the rotisserie motor bracket on either side of the grill nearest the outlet
- Slide the rotisserie motor onto the rotisserie motor bracket
- Insert rotisserie spit (rotisserie rod) into motor
- Place 1st fork onto the rotisserie spit and secure tightly
- Position the meat onto the spit securing it to the 1st fork
- Place 2nd fork onto the spit securing to the meat and tighten the screw
- Insert collar onto a spit
- Screw on handle nut and handle
- Add a drip pan beneath the meat to catch drippings and retain moisture in the meat
- Light back burner per lighting instructions in this manual and close grill lid
IMPORTANT: Turn the back burner to low or off when stopping the
rotisserie to prevent overcooking
OPTIONAL DROP-IN SEAR BURNER INSTALLATION
The preferred location to install a drop-in sear burner is on the far left of
the grill. This will allow for a sear zone while maximizing the main burner
grilling space. To install a drop-in sear burner:
- Remove the grate and burner covers to access the main burner
- Remove the cotter pin securing the main burner (if necessary)
- Remove the main burner
- Remove cross tube in between main burners allowing for a drop-in sear burner to rest flat, if necessary
- Install the sear burner with the center of the orifice positioned in the center of the burner and rest the back of the sear burner flat on the rear of the grill. There is a locating pin in the rear of the sear burner that must be seated correctly.
LIGHTING OPTIONAL DROP-IN SEAR BURNER
- Open the hood before lighting; do not attempt to ignite burners while the hood is closed.
- Make sure the gas supply is turned on.
- Make sure burner control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
- Press in the control knob then slightly turn the knob counterclockwise while still pressing in.
- Hold in the above position for 5 seconds allowing the gas to reach the manifold.
- Turn the knob counterclockwise past the ignition to the high setting to ignite. You will hear the one-time clicking sound of the spark ignition.
- After ignition, set the knob to the desired setting.
