L.P. GAS CYLINDER

Self-contained
Propane Gas System

The self-contained (propane) gas system barbecue is designed to be used with only a9.1kg (20lb) propane cylinder equipped with a Type-1 cylinder valve. This barbecue cannot be connected to an existing #510 P.O.L. type valve cylinder (which has left-handed threads) Do not connect to a propane gas cylinder exceeding 9.1kg (20lIb.) capacity or use a cylinder with any other type of cylinder valve connection device.
The Type-1 valve can easily be recognized by the large external thread on the outside of the valve. Older existing valves do not have this outer external thread. Any attempt to connect a requlator to any connector other than the mating Type-1 connector (which comes with a large, black coupling nut) such as the #510 P.O.L., could result in fires, injuries or property damage, and could reduce the effectiveness of the important safety features built into the Type-1 system. Also connecting the #510 P.O.L. fitting to the cylinder will negate the flow control and the temperature shut-off features built into the new Type-1 connection system

  • The cylinder should not exceed 472mm (18 1/2°) in height and 317 mm (12 1/27) in diameter.
  • LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). See LP cylinder collar for marking.

LP Cylinder

  • The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the following requirements.
  • Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12” (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18″ (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 Ib. (9 kg.) capacity maximum,
  • LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). See LP cylinder collar for marking.
  • LP cylinder valve must have:
  • Type-1 connector compatible with regulator or grill
  • Safety relief valve.
  • 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
  • Always turn off the cylinder valve completely when the barbecue is not in use
  • Always handle the tank valve with utmost care.
  • Never connect an unregulated L.P. gas cylinder to the barbecue
  • Always keep the cylinder, in use, securely fastened in an upright position.
  • Never store a spare cylinder, empty or full, near or under the barbecue when in operation
  • Never expose the cylinders to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
  • Never insert any kind of object into the valve outlet as this may damage the backcheck; a backcheck that is damaged can leak, and a leaking propane cylinder can result in fires or explosions, property damage, severe injuries or death.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE OF CYLINDER

The propane cylinder is totally safe when handled properly, but if misused, the result could be an explosion or fire resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage
To Avoid Unnecessary Risks

  • Always recap the cylinder with the cap provided when not connected to the barbecue
  • Do not store the cylinder in any enclosed area such as a garage, and make sure the storage area has lots of ventilation
  • Do not store the cylinder near any appliances, or in any areas that may become hot, such as the trunk of a vehicle.
  • Make sure the cylinder is out of reach of children
  • When transporting or storing the cylinder, make sure it is in an upright position and not on its side
  • Do not smoke around the cylinder, especially when transporting it in a vehicle

FILLING THE CYLINDER

The cylinder must be filled prior to use and must have the air purged. For safety, follow these instructions when having your cylinder filled:

  • Have only your local qualified LP gas dealer fill or repair a cylinder.
  • Do not overfill the cylinder beyond the safe 80% fill level
  • Make sure the dealer tests and checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.

WARNING
If the above instructions are not completely adhered to, it could cause a fire/ explosion, resulting in death or serious Injury, or property damage.

HOSE AND REGULATOR

Propane Gas Models: Your barbecue is designed to operate on L.P. (Propane) gas at a pressure 0.40 psi (11″ water column). A regulator preset to this pressure is supplied with the barbecue and must be used
This regulator is equipped with the Type-1 quick-closing connecting system, which incorporates these safety features:

  • Will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been made.

  • Has a thermal component that will automatically shut off the flow of gas between (240-300°F) 115-150°C

  • Has a flow limiting feature, which will restrict the flow of gas o 10 cubic feet/hour.
    Should the large, black thermal-sensitive coupling nut be exposed to any extreme temperatures above 240°C it will soften and allow the regulator probe to disengage from the valve, and will shut off the gas. Should this occur, do not try to reconnect the nut; instead replace the whole regulator assembly with a new one (see the attached parts listing for details). The regulator probe also contains a flow-sensitive feature, which limits the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet/hour, in the event of a regulator malfunction or hose leak. If the flow control feature is activated, the cause of this excessive gas flow should be investigated and corrected before using the barbecue again
    Note : Improperly lighting the barbecue can activate the flow control feature, resulting in lower heat output. If this occurs, the re-flow feature must be reset by turning all the burner controls and the cylinder valve off. Wait at least 30 seconds before slowly turning on the cylinder valve, and then after another 5 seconds turn the burner valve on and light the barbecue.

  • Never connect this barbecue to an unregulated propane gas supply, or to another kind of gas. Do not alter or change the hose or regulator in any way.

  • Visually inspect the whole hose assembly before each use for evidence of wear or damage such as cracks, burns, or cuts. If any damage is found, replace the assembly before using the barbecue. Use only the recommended replacement hose

  • To avoid possible damage to the hose, do not allow any grease or other hot materials to fall on the hose, and make sure the hose does not contact any hot surfaces of the barbecue

  • The connection fitting must be protected when it’s disconnected from the cylinder.
    Do not allow the fitting to bump or drag on the ground as nicks and scratches could help create a leak when connecting back to the cylinder.

  • Itis important to do the “Leak Test” procedure every time a cylinder is refilled or any of the components are changed, and especially at the beginning of a new season.

LEAK TESTING

Perform a “Leak Test”

  • Before lighting your barbecue for the first time
  • Every time the cylinder is refilled, or any component is replaced.
  • At least once every year, preferably at the start of the season
    The “Leak Test” must be done outdoors, away from heat, open flames and flammable liquids.
    Do not smoke while performing the test. Use only a mixture of 50/50 liquid soap and water for leak testing. Never use a match or open flame.

The Following Must Be Checked

  • The tank valve including the threads into the tank (Drawing C)
  • All tank welds (Drawing B).
  • Regulator fittings and tank connections (Drawing C)
  • All hose connections (Drawing D)
  • With a newly filled and tested propane tank attached to the barbecue and all the barbecue controls turned “OFF”, slowly open the cylinder valve one full turn.
  • Using a brush and soap, soak all the connections and components listed above and shown in drawings B, C, D.
  • Look carefully for bubbles forming, which is an indication of leaking gas.
  • Tighten the connections at the bubbled areas until re-testing shows no indication of any leaks (shut off cylinder while correcting any leaks).
  • Shut off the cylinder valve and ensure all control valves are off.
  • Do not use the barbecue if any leaks cannot be stopped. Turn off the gas cylinder valve, remove the gas cylinder and seek assistance from a qualified gas appliance service mechanic or gas dealer.

PRIOR TO USING

Do not use your barbecue until you have carefully read and fully understand all the information in this manual. Please ensure the following

  • Your barbecue is properly assembled
  • There are no leaks in the system (see “Leak Test”)
  • The burner is properly assembled, with the Venturi tubes seated over the valve outlets (Drawing E) and that there is nothing blocking the Venturi tubes (Drawing F)
  • Ensure that all power cords and/or gas supply hoses will not touch or be near surfaces that will get hot.
  • The barbecue is in a safe location (see Installation)

Ensure that the valve outlets (orifices) are assembled into the Venturi tubes approximately 6 mm (1/4”) and that the valve outlets and Venturi tubes are approximately parallel to the bottom of the lower body.

WARNING
Natural Hazards Insects and Spiders

During shipment or storage, it’s possible that small insects like spiders could find their way into the Venturi tubes and nest or make webs. This could block the flow of gas through the Venturi tube causing a smoky yellowish flame, or prevent burner from lighting. It could even cause the gas to burn outside the Venturi tube, which could seriously damage your barbecue. If these occur, turn off the gas flow and wait for the barbecue to cool down. When the barbecue has cooled, remove the burner and clean out the Venturi tubes with a brush or pipe cleaner. Replace the burner and ensure that the Venturi tubes are seated over the orifice located on the gas valves. Cleaning the Venturi tubes should be conducted periodically, especially at the start of the season.
Note: Damage resulting from blocked Venturi tubes is not covered under the warranty.
Orifice Size: The orifice, in conjunction with the control valve, acts to regulate and restrict the amount of gas delivered to the burner. The hole size in the orifice varies by the gas supply pressure and by the BTU rating of the burner. Grills equipped for LP gas operate at a much higher gas pressure and therefore have a smaller size orifice.
Hose and Regulator Inspection
Adjustment: The regulator is factory set at a specified outlet pressure of 11″ of water column and is generally factory sealed and not adjustable. Do not try to adjust. The regulator can be checked by measuring the pressure with a manometer.
Vent Hole: There is a vent hole on top of the regulator. Check that it is clear of dirt and debris. If the hole is plugged, erratic and dangerous burning may result.
Chew Marks: The hose should be kept clean of grease and food drippings which attract squirrels and other animals. The animals will often eat the drippings on the hose and chew into the hose lining trying to get the last taste. Try cleaning the hose with an ammonia cleaner solution to minimize the attrition

Test For Leaks

  1. Mix a 50/50 solution of liquid dish soap and water.
  2. Connect the LP cylinder.
  3. Make sure the control valves are OFF.
  4. Brush the soap solution over the cylinder valve and all piping and hose connections.
  5. Turn on the cylinder valve and listen for leaks, and look carefully for soap bubbles being formed at the connections which indicates leaks

To Reset The Gas Regulator Safety Device

  1. Close the LP (propane) tank valve.
  2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
  3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
  4. Open the grill lid.
  5. Open all of the control knobs to the high position.
  6. Wait 2 minutes.
  7. Close all of the control knobs
  8. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank. Test for leaks.
  9. With lid open, turn the left burner control knob to the”HIGH “position and then ignite the grill by turning Rotary ignitor clockwise.
  10. Once lit, close the grill lid.
  11. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes for the Barbecue to preheat.

ATTENTION : Proper start up and shut down procedures should be Followed to avoid regulator safety device activation.

WARNING
If the heat output is too low, the flow control feature may have been activated by a gas leak. If so, turn off the burner valve and cylinder valve, and perform the “Leak Test”. If there aren’t any leaks, re-light the burner.

LIGHTING THE GRILL

  • Make sure you have followed all the checks, procedures and instructions indicated in the prior sections before attempting to light the grill.
  • Always raise the barbecue lid before lighting the burner.
  • Do not bend directly over the barbecue while lighting in case of back flash.
  • Making sure all the control knobs are off, slowly and carefully open the propane gas cylinder valve. Wait about five seconds before opening the burner valve and lighting the barbecue. This procedure allows the pressure to stabilize, and prevents the flow control feature from activating.
    Note: If the flow control feature does activate, turn off the burner control valve and the cylinder valve, wait about 30 seconds then turn on the cylinder valve slowly. Wait 5 seconds and turn on the burner valve and light the barbecue

Using the Igniter to Light the Burner

  • Raise the lid of the barbecue.

  • Turn on tank.

  • Push in and turn the control knob to “HIGH” position.

  • Turn rotary ignitor knob (up to 3 times) to light. Be sure burner lights and stays it.

  • If the burner does not light after three attempts, turn the control knob to the “OFF” position and wait for the gas to clear (about 5 minutes)
    Repeat the previous lighting procedure.

  • If the burner still does not light, refer to the troubleshooting guide for help, or light with a long match

Manual Lighting Procedure

The barbecue has a small hole on the lower left side of the housing. This hole is towards the front of the barbecue and is used to manually light the barbecue (Drawing G).

  • Raise the lid of the barbecue
  • Place a lighted match through the hole to the burner.
  • Turn on tank.
  • Push in and turn the left burner knob to the “HIGH” position. At this point, the burner should light, if it doesn’t after 5 seconds, turn the control knob back to the “OFF” position and wait for the gas to clear.
  • Wait 5 minutes, and then repeat the manual light procedure. If after three tries the burner still does not light, review the troubleshooting guide for help.

To Reset the Gas Regulator Safety Device

  • Close the LP (propane) tank valve.
  • Turn all burner control knobs to the “OFF” position.
  • Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank
  • Open grill lid. Wait five minutes for gas to clear.
  • Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank. Test for leaks
  • With lid open, turn the burner control knob to the “HIGH” position and then ignite the grill by turning rotary igniter knob.
  • Close the grill lid
  • Wait for 10 to 15 minutes. The barbecue should become hot.

WARNING
If the heat output is too low, the flow control feature may have been activated by a gas leak. If so, turn off the burner valve and cylinder valve, and perform the “Leak Test”. If there aren’t any leaks, re-light the burner.

Lighting the Second Burner
« After lighting the first bummer, Turn the second control knob on the main control panel to the ”HIGH” position. The unlit burner will automatically ignite
Lighting the Side Burner
Use the Rotary igniter on the main control panel and the control knob on the side burner panel

  • Push in and turn the control knob to the “HIGH” position.
  • Turn the Rotary igniter knob (up to 3 times ) to light burner.
  • If the burner does not light after three attempts, turn the control knob off and wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear.
  • Repeat the above instructions. If the side burner still does not light, refer to the troubleshooting section for help or light the burner manually.
    Note : The side burner is designed to accept a maximum weight of 101b. Do not overload the side burner.

Lighting the Side Burner with a Match

  • Place match in front ring of provided match holder.
  • Place a lighted match to of the side burner (Drawing H).
  • Push in and turn the burner knob to the “HIGH” position. At this point, the burner should light, if it doesn’t after 5 seconds, turn the control knob back to the “OFF” position and wait for the gas to clear.

Shutting Down the Barbecue After Use

  • Turn off the gas cylinder valve
  • Turn the burner control valve to the “OFF” position
    This sequence is important as it prevents residual gas from being left in the system under pressure and will make the next use easier.

Visually Check Burner Flame
Take off the grates and heat shield. Light burners. Adjust the flame by turning the knobs from “HIGH” to “LOW”. The flames will be smaller when the knobs are in the “LOW” position.
Always check flame prior to each use. Perform flame check for side burner.

GENERAL GRILLING TIPS

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/loven cleaner to painted surfaces.
    Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

    • Do not use cortisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
    • 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.

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 kil 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.
    CAUTION
    Never spray into the grills while burners are on.
    WARNING
    Do not leave your barbecue unattended, and watch out for children around the barbecue. Make sure the barbecue is functioning safely at all times. Do not move the barbecue while cooking.

BARBEQUE COOKING METHODS

‘Your barbecue is more than just a place to grill your burgers and hot dogs – the possibilities are endless. But, before you start experimenting, here are some frequently used terms that will help:

  • Direct Cooking is also known as grilling. This is the most popular cooking method and involves cooking food directly over the flame, such as searing a steak. Other good candidates for this cooking method are thin cuts of meat, vegetables, kabobs and fillets.
  • Indirect Cooking means the food is cooked away from the direct flame by placing it on the opposite side of the lit burner and allowing the heat to tumble within the closed confines of the closed barbeque, very similar to a convection oven. Much like your oven, you can roast and even bake, provided your barbeque lid is closed

Flare Ups
Flare-ups sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot flame tamers or burners and ignite. Some flaring is normal and desirable, as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is also desirable, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of an accidental fire
ALWAYS MONITOR THE GRILL CAREFULLY WHILE COOKING AND TURN THE FLAME LEVEL DOWN TO LOW OR OFF IF FLARE-UPS INTENSIFY.
To keep flare-ups to the desired level, do the following

  1. Trim fat from meats before grilling
  2. Cook chicken and pork on lower settings
  3. Ensure that the bottom of the firebox is cleaned regularly to eliminate extreme grease build up.
  4. Always cook with the lid down, and cook at the lowest most efficient heat setting Flare-ups can increase the temperature of the grill and add to the buildup of grease, increasing the risk of a grease fire.

Flare-ups can increase the temperature of the grill and add to the buildup of grease, increasing the risk of a grease fire.

STORAGE

When the outdoor cooking season is over and you’re going to store the unit for the winter, perform the following maintenance:

  • After removing and cleaning the burner and cooking grates, apply a light amount of cooking oil, Wrap them in paper and store indoors
  • The barbecue, after being covered, can be stored outdoors.
  • Do not store the L.P. cylinder in an enclosed area
    When the barbecue is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the cylinder valve. The barbecue and cylinder need to be stored outdoors, in a well- ventilated area. Do not store the barbecue in a garage or near heat. If there is a need for the barbecue to be stored indoors, remove the cylinder. Continue to store the cylinder outside in the well-ventilated area and make sure the cylinder’s safety cap is firmly threaded on the valve

ATTENTION : When moving your Barbecue please ensure that it is supported from the firebox on both sides, and NOT by the side shelves.
DO NOT roll Barbecue on uneven surfaces as it could damage wheels, which could lead to damaging other parts. Manufacturer is not liable for any damage sustained during removal or storage of this Barbecue.
