Leak Testing

GENERAL

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas leak test 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 following the procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at anytime you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.

BEFORE TESTING

Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including tie-down straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM 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 the initial leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder is 80% full.

TO TEST

Make sure the control valves are in the “ ○ ” position and turn on the gas supply.
Check all connections from the L.P. gas regulator and supply valve up to and including the connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners). Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
Turn the gas back on and recheck.
Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact customer service at 1-855-634-2627, language spoken: English, French, Spanish 8 a.m.-5 p.m., PST. Monday-Friday.

Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

GAS FLOW CHECK

Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners should be visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc.
If you have any questions regarding flame stability, please call customer service 1-855-634-2627, language spoken: English, French, Spanish 8 a.m.-5 p.m., PST. Monday-Friday.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.

Operating Instructions

GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL

Each main burner is rated at 9,000 BTU/hr. The main grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and are side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and debris.
The knobs are located on the lower center portion of the control panel. Each knob is labeled on the control panel.
This grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is radiated by the stainless steel flame tamers positioned above each burner.
Minimum Ambient Operating Temperature: 0 °F, (-17.8 °C)

USING THE GRILL

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the high heat setting for the entire cooking time.
However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to the lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside.
Foods cooked for a long time or foods basted with a sugary marinade may need the lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The more thoroughly the grill is preheated, the faster the meat browns and the darker the grill marks.

Control Panel

Note: Remove all packaging, including straps, before using the grill

Lighting Instructions

WARNING: IMPORTANT BEFORE LIGHTING

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.

Care and Maintenance

STAINLESS STEEL

There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the surface.
To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust.
For removal use a mild abrasive pad in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.

GRILL GRATE

The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult.
ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY AND THE KNOBS ARE IN THE “○” POSITION. MAKE SURE THE RANGE TOP BURNER IS COOL BEFORE REMOVAL.
GRILL BURNERS
Extreme care should be taken when moving a burner as it must be correctly centered on the orifice before any attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on how often you use the grill.

MAIN BURNER CLEANING

Ensure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the “○” position. Make sure the grill is cool. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip.
Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Please note if insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas through the burner, and if so, you will need to call our customer service line 1- 855-634-2627 in USA and Canada, language spoken: English, French, Spanish 8 a.m.-5 p.m., PST. Monday-Friday.

GREASE TRAY CLEANING

The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and wash with a mild detergent and warm water solution.
A small amount of sand may be placed in bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease. Check the grease tray frequently, do not allow excess grease to accumulate and overflow out of the grease tray.

CAUTION

Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustible and ventilation air.
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

Warning: If you wish to replace main burner, we strongly recommend that you hire a professionally trained technician to replace it.
Please understand that we will not be responsible for any liability, personal injury, or property damage resulting from an improperly assembled burner.

HOW TO REPLACE MAIN BURNER

Step 1. Remove the main burner “R” pin on the back wall of fire box by using needle nose pliers. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove burner pin cover, then remove the burner from the fire box, as shown below.
Step 2. Insert the burner onto the orifice and secure the burner pin cover on the burner, as shown below, make sure burner hole aim at orifice .
Step 3. Secure the main burner on the back wall of fire box with “R” Pin. And install the burner pin by using screwdriver.

Seasoning Your Griddle

IMPORTANCE OF GRIDDLE SEASONING

It is very important to maintain a seasoned griddle surface in order to maintain optimum performance and long life of the unit.

Seasoning your griddle serves two purposes:

a) It prevents rust and corrosion.
b) It creates a permanent non-stick cooking surface.
Seasoning is a process that continuously improves throughout the life of your griddle. Proper care and maintenance as well as seasoning after each use will result in a better cooking experience.

FIRST TIME USE

Your griddle comes pre-seasoned with a coating of cooking oil to prevent corrosion and damage during the shipping process.
Before using your griddle for the first time, wash the top and insides of the griddle surface with hot, soapy water.
Never use soap on your griddle AFTER FIRST USE. Rinse and dry completely then continue to seasoning steps.

SEASONING YOUR GRIDDLE

Thoroughly clean off food residue.
Evenly apply a generous amount of cooking oil (flax seed, olive, vegetable, etc.) to the hot griddle surface.
Using a paper towel, carefully spread cooking oil to entire hot griddle surface.
Allow griddle to cool completely before storing in a cool, dry place.

AFTER EACH USE

To clean your griddle following each use, gently scrape any remaining food residue with a spatula and wipe with a towel.
To remove stuck food, pour hot water onto griddle surface to loosen residue or use ¼ cup of table salt to act as an abrasive. Next, follow steps for “SEASONING YOUR GRIDDLE”.

Troubleshooting

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Checking and cleaning burner/ venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “FLASH-BACK”, it is the most common cause.
To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK”, you must clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active.
Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period.

WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS

You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the following conditions occur:

The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
The grill does not reach temperature.
The grill heats unevenly.
The burners make popping noises.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

If the grill does not function properly, use the following check list before contacting your dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call.
PREHEATING: The grill lid should be in a closed position during the preheat time period. It is necessary to preheat the grill before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature.
Food that requires a high cooking temperature needs a pre-heat period of five minutes; food that requires a lower cooking temperature needs only a period of two to three minutes.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

High setting-Use this setting for fast warm-up, for searing steaks and chops, and grilling.
Low setting-Use this setting for all roasting, baking, and when cooking very lean cuts such as fish.
These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind.
Cooking with in-direct Heat: You can cook poultry and large cuts of meat slowly to perfection on one side of the grill by indirect heat from the burner on the other side. Heat from the lit burner circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking the meat or poultry without any direct flame touching it. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts, because there is no direct flame to light the fats and juices that drip down during cooking.
CAUTION : If burners go out during operation, close gas supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Open lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
CAUTION: Should a grease fire occur, close gas supply at source, turn off all burners and leave lid closed until fire is out.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your grill is in operation. As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your gas gill is no exception.
CAUTION: Sear burner lid will get hot if used when lid is closed.

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
When attempting to light my grill, it will not light immediately.	Make sure

you have a spark while you are trying to light the burner (if no spark). Check if the battery is installed properly.

Ensure that the wire is connected to the electrode assembly.

Clean wire (s) and / or electrode with rubbing alcohol and a clean swab. Wipe with a clean cloth.

Check to see if the other burners operate. If so, check the gas orifice on the malfunctioning burner for an obstruction.

Regulator makes noise.| Vent hose on the regulator may be plugged or regulator may be faulty. Ensure the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. Clear the hole, close the gas control valves. Wait ten minutes and re-start.

Check your flames for proper performance. If the flames are not correct, replace regulator.

Full size cover does not fit the grill.| Cover may be incorrect for your grill. It may be a tight fit. Ensure the cover is the correct length for your grill.

Measure it from left to right. Compare to the grill’s measurement.

Compare the location and size of the hood portion of the cover to your grill. Spread the cover and allow it to relax, preferably in warm sunlight or in a warm room.

For grills with a side shelf, bunch the cover like a sock and put on left to right.

Grill only heats to 93-149°C / 200-300°F.| Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or kinked. Make sure the grill area is clear of dust.

Make sure the burner and orifices are clean. Check for spiders and insects.

The regulator has a safety device that restricts the flow of gas in the event of a leak. This safety device can be triggered without a gas leak. To reset the safety device, turn off all burners and close the LP tank valve. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank and wait one minute. Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank and slowly open the LP tank valve until the valve is fully open. Light all burners and observe the temperature.

Grill takes a long time to preheat.| Normal preheat 260-316°C / 500-600°F, takes about 10-15 min. Cold weather and wind may effect your preheat time.

If you are using volcanic rock or briquettes they can increase the preheat time and maximum temperature.

Burner flames are not light blue.| Too much or not enough air for the flame.

Elevation is the principal cause, however cold weather can affect the mixture. Burner adjustment may be required.

Grill is in a windy location.
