- Mix one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid.
- Brush mix on Regulator, Propane Cylinder and connection as indicated by the heavy arrows in the figure below. If bubbling occurs, there is a gas leak.
A. If leak appears at the regulator/cylinder connection, repeat cylinder installation procedure, but do not overtighten. (NOTE: Only hand tighten) Repeat leak test.
B. If the leak is coming from the Gas Cylinder or if the leak cannot be stopped, remove the cylinder and DO NOT USE THE GRILL. Call Customer Service at 1-866-475-5180. Be sure to have the grill model number and serial number printed on the lable, located on the inside of the rear leg. If you need a replacement part under warranty, a proof of purchase will be necessary.
Lighting the Grill
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion:
- Open Hood before lighting the grill to release trapped gas.
- During failed lighting attempts, or if the Burner goes out during operation, turn Control Knob “Off” to dissipate any accumulated gas. Wait five minutes before repeating lighting procedure.
-
Open the Hood.
-
Push the Regulator Knob in and turn 270 degrees (or 3/4 turn) counterclockwise to the High position (Fig. 2). Note the triangular indicator mark on the silver regulator housing.
-
Push the Igniter Button in repeatedly until the Burner is lit. Listen for the click indicating spark ignition, and look to make sure the Burner is lit.
If the Burner goes out during operation, turn Regulator Knob to the “Off” position. Open Hood and wait five minutes before attempting to relight the grill to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
If Burner fails to light after three to four attempts, turn Regulator Knob to
the “Off” position and allow any accumulated gas to dissipate. Check for
igniter spark by pushing igniter button and looking at the igniter tip. If no
spark, adjust gap between electrode tip and burner to 3/16” (Fig. 3). If still
no spark, see Troubleshooting
Section.
Wait five minutes; then repeat the lighting procedures. The Burner can also be lit manually, see Manual Lighting of the Grill on next page. Should you notice that your Burner is getting hard to light or the flame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the “How to Clean your Burner” to remove any possible obstructions.
Manually Lighting the Grill
- Open the Hood. IMPORTANT: Make sure Regulator Knob is turned “OFF”.
- While holding a lit match near the burner (Fig. 4), push the Regulator Knob in and turn 270 degrees (or 3/4 turn) counterclockwise to the High position.
If the Burner goes out during operation, turn Regulator Knob to the “Off” position. Open Hood and wait five minutes before attempting to relight the grill to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
Check the Flame
WARNING
To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from an explosion or a fire:
-
Regularly inspect and clean Burner/Ventura Tube for insects or insect nests, especially after periods of storage. Spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the grill’s Ventura Tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the Burner. (Fig. 6) The backed-up gas can ignite and cause a fire. This is known as a “flashback”.
-
Be sure Burner is re-installed properly before using grill.
The Burner has been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. (Fig. 5)
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Check the flame, especially after long periods of storing the grill. Note that the minimum flame height should be 1/4”. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked Burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the Burner or Burner opening. Should you notice that your Burner is getting hard to light or the flame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the “How to Clean your Burner” section to remove possible obstructions.
Cooking On the Gas Grill
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire, explosion or burn hazard:
-
Never use charcoal or lighter fluid in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
-
Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
-
Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstructions to the flow of combustion and ventilation air before each use.
-
Always open the Hood before lighting the LP gas grill.
-
Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids. Have a BC or ABC fire extinguisher
readily accessible. Never douse or spray the grill or cooking surfaces with water when hot. Burns from grease
or water splatters could occur. -
If your gas grill catches on fire:
- if the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the Regulator Knob, then turn it to the “Off position.
- If the fire involves the LP Gas Cylinder, leave it alone, evacuate the area, and call the Fire Department.
- If there is any type of fire that threatens either personal safety or endangers property, call the Fire Department.
-
Do not use the grill without Drip Tray in place. Check the Drip Tray for build-up. Empty excess grease before each use to reduce the risk of a grease fire in the Drip Tray.
-
Do not place containers of oil or grease on or near the grill.
-
Do not operate a gas grill if you have knowledge of or suspect a gas leak.
-
Do not leave grill unattended.
-
Do not wear loose clothing (hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in use or hot.
-
Do not lean your body over the gas grill when lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
-
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since
the grill will become very hot. Open the Hood carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside. -
Do not all children to operate or play near a gas grill. Keep children, animals and bystanders out of the grill area.
-
Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
-
When grill is not in use, turn off all grill Regulator Knob, and disconnect the LP Gas Cylinder.
-
Do not cover more than half (50%) of the cooking area if using griddle plates. Full coverage of cooking area will cause overheating below the plates.
-
Do not leave any utensils or cookware on a hot cooking surface.
To reduce risk of burn injury from flame roll out or hot air/steam trapped inside grill, open Hood carefully.
Grill Cooking (Direct cooking on the Grids)
Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The Burner heats up the Flavor
Activator under the Cooking Grid, which in turn heats the food on the grill.
The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flavor Activator below
and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued
flavor.
Use the Direct Cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to
cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and more. These foods should be turned
once halfway through the grilling time.
To sear meats, place them over Direct High heat for 2 to 5 minutes per side.
Smaller pieces require less searing time. Hamburgers, steaks, chops, chicken
breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing. Usually after
searing you finish cooking the food at a lower temperature.
For Direct Cooking, preheat the grill for 10 minutes with the Burner on
“High”. Place food on the Cooking Grid, and then adjust the Burner to the
temperature required. Close the Hood and lift it only to turn food or to test
for doneness at the end of the recommended cooking time.
Controlling Flare-Ups:
Flare-ups are part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique flavor
of barbecued food. However, excessive
flare-ups can overcook your food and create a dangerous situation for you and
your grill. Excessive flare-ups may
result from large amounts of fat on the food being cooked or the build up of
grease in the grill. If excessive flare-ups
occur, DO NOT pour water on the flames. This can cause grease to splatter and
could result in serious burns or bodily harm. If a grease fire occurs, turn
off the burner until the grease burns out. To prevent or minimize flare-ups,
trim all excess fat or skin from meats before grilling and keep the grill and
drip tray cleaned of excess grease
End of Cooking Session
WARNING
To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from fire or burn hazard:
Allow grill and grease in the Drip Tray to completely cool before emptying, cleaning, moving, or storing grill. Empty the Drip Tray after each cooking session so grease does not accumulate.
- After each cooking session, close the Hood and turn the Burner to the “High” position and burn for five minutes. This will burn off some cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.
- When you have finished using your grill, turn the Regulator Knob clockwise to the “Off” position.
- Remove the propane cylinder and replace the protective cap over the regulator opening. Replace the plastic cap on the top of propane cylinder for storage if not empty.
- Store cylinder outdoors and away from grill.
- Wait until the grill is cool to the touch before closing the Hood, cleaning, storing or transporting.
- Clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and extend the life of your grill, the unit should be covered when stored.
Storage and Transportation
WARNING
Do not put grill in storage or travel mode immediately after use. Allow grill to cool to touch before moving or storing. Failure to do so could result in fire resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
- Disconnect LP Gas Cylinder from grill and store outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or ignition. Re-cap LP Gas Cylinder valve with the Safety Cap.
- Cover the regulator opening with the plastic cap supplied with the grill.
- If storing grill or before an extended period of non-use, remove Burner and wrap with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the Burner holes. Cooking Grid and Flavor Activator may be wrapped in foil as well.
- Store grill indoors only if the LP Gas Cylinder is disconnected from the gas grill and stored outside.
- Before next use, remove aluminum foil and reinstall Burner, Flavor Activator, and Cooking Grid.
- Before using the grill after periods of storage or non-use (i.e. over winter), check your LP gas grill for gas leaks, deterioration, proper assembly, and Burner obstructions.
- Periodically check and tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws on grill.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Grill
WARNING
To reduce risk of injury from laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling parts with sharp edges.
Drip Tray:
Remove the Drip Tray under the grill bowl after the grill has cooled
completely. Scrape away food and fat residue from the Drip Tray. Empty and
wash the Drip Tray with hot soapy water and a cloth.
Grill Body:
Remove excess grease and/or fat with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not
use steel wool or other abrasive
cleaners that can scratch painted, porcelain-coated or stainless steel
surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the
grease from the body. When grill is cool, wipe it down with paper towels or
soft damp cloth. On painted grills, if rust
appears, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool. Touch up bare metal
with a high heat paint specified for barbecue grills. Follow paint
manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Cooking Grid/ Flavor Activator:
Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn
stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or other
abrasive cleaners that can scratch the plated, porcelain-coated or stainless
steel surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.
All Other Cleaning:
For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush
only. Do not immerse the Gas Controls in water. (Avoid getting water in the
Burner holes).
Burner:
Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the Burner clean with normal
usage, provided the Burner is operating correctly. Clean the Burner annually,
or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of
blockage (debris, insects) in the Burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or
the neck of the Burner. See How to Clean the Burner.
How to Clean the Burners
- Make sure the Regulator Knob is turned “Off”, the grill is completely cooled and the propane cylinder is removed.
- Carefully remove Cooking Grid and Flavor Activator.
- To remove the Burner, first remove the Bolts that fasten the Burner to its support bracket.
- Slide Tube burner to the left so that the end of the burner is off of the valve nozzle and inside the firebolt. Lift the venture end of the burner up first then slide the burner out from under the electrode.
- Use a pipe cleaner to clear inset nests of debris from the inlet hole of Main Burner.
- Open up the Burner holes with a small nail or wire. Use a non-metallic brush to remove food particles and corrosion from the Burner surfaces.
- Check the Electrode to see if it is loose. If so, tighten the screw holding the Electrode to maintain 3/16” gap between Electrode tip and Burner. NOTE: Before next step, you may wish to clean the rest of the grill. See “Cleaning the Grill” section.
- After cleaning, refit the Burner. If the grill is to be stored, the Burners may be wrapped in a protective cover such as aluminum foil or plastic wrap to help keep insects out. NOTE: When refitting the Burner, be sure the Burner is positioned correctly. The valve nozzle should protrude inside the Venturi end of the Burner. Replace the Bolts that fasten the Burner Flange to the burner bracket.
- Perform a Leak Test and check Burner operation after re-assembly.
- Replace Flavor Activator and Cooking Grid.
