  • UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

• LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is nontoxic, odourless and colourless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP Cylinder Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP dealers.

LP Tank Exchange

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety feature equipped tank as described in the “LP Tank” section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to grill.

LP Tank Leak Test For your safety

• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution.
  Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure below. Leaks are indicated by growing bubbles.

⚠ WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department! Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to the gas train components (valve/hose/ regulator) can result.

Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light burners, turn knobs from HI to LO. You should see a smaller flame in LO position than seen on HI. Perform burner flame check on searing burner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to “Sudden flame drop or low flame” in the Troubleshooting Section.
Turning Grill Off
Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off. When you are finished grilling, raise the grill lid while allowing the grill to fully cool. If the grill lid is closed during grill cooling, condensation may occur on interior grill surfaces and possibly cause them to rust.

Igniter Check
Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic igniter button. “Click” should be heard and spark seen each time between 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. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator as specified in the parts list of this Use & Care Guide.

Cast Iron Grate Seasoning (if applicable)
First Use ­ Before first use, season cast iron grates as follows: Rinse cast iron grates with hot water. Do not use soap. Dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly raise temperature to 350° – 400° F. Heat grates for one hour. Turn off grill and allow grates to cool completely before using to cook.

Cleaning -­ Do not use soap when cleaning grates. Clean grates with a stiff brush and hot water. Dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel.

Re-seasoning ­- Re-season grates when rust spots appear on grate surface. When re-seasoning grates, soap may be used with hot water to clean grates. After cleaning, dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly raise temperature to 350° – 400° F. Heat grates for one hour. Turn off grill and allow grates to cool completely before using again.

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.
• 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.
• Drip Tray and Cup: Regularly clean the grease drippings from the Drip Tray and Drip Cup. When the grill has completely cooled down after use, remove the cup from the tray and slide the tray out of the grill. Clean the grease drippings from the cup and tray surfaces by washing with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth. Slide the tray back into the grill and replace the cup back into the tray before using the grill again.

⚠ CAUTION SPIDER ALERT!
IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in which spiders tend to build nests.

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 venture’s.

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 manufacturer once available.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and Disconnected, remove 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 heat diffusers.
3. Remove attachment screw from rear of each burner. See Fig. A next page.
4. 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.

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.

5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
7. 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 below.

**

8. Carefully replace burners. See Fig. A and B next page.
9. Attach rear of each burner to bracket with screw. See Fig. A next page.
10. Replace heat diffusers and cooking grates.

Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.

1 Burner Cooking
Cook with direct or indirect heat. Best for smaller meals or foods. Consumes less fuel.

Indirect Cooking Instructions

• Always cook with the lid closed.

• Once burners are lit, extinguish an individual burner by turning its knob to OFF.

• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary.
  During cold and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking heat.

• Place food over unlit burner(s).

2 Burner Cooking
Great indirect cooking on low. Produces slow, even heating. Ideal for slow roasting and baking.

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 and poultry.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry 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. For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 (In Washington, DC 202-720-3333, 10:00 am 4:00 pm EST).

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180°F; breasts, 170°F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 160°F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°F. All cuts of pork should reach 160°F.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165°F, or until steaming hot.

WARNING: To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be cooked to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table below.

*USDA Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures**

• United States Department of Agriculture **Allow meat to rest three minutes before carving or consuming.
