LEAK TESTING

GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site. 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 all packing materials have been removed from the grill, including the burner tie-down straps.

WARNING
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never 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.

TO TEST

1. Turn off all control valves, and turn on the gas supply.
2. Apply the soap solution to all pipe fittings, from the natural gas regulator and supply valve or from the LP cylinder up to and including the pipe that connects to the burners. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. If gas continues to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply, and contact customer service at 1-800-554-5799.

Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitutions will void the warranty.

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, first check to see if the burner is blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc.
If the burner is free of blockages, you will need to fine-tune the air/gas mixture by moving the adjustment bolt (See the image on page 15).
Remember it is better to make several minor adjustments as opposed to a single large adjustment.
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.
Disconnected LP cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
The gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder when the unit is not in use.
If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well- ventilated area out of reach of children.

WARNING
Always check for leaks after every LP tank change.

CAUTION
Burner adjustments should only be performed after the burners have cooled.
Always tighten the locking nut before relighting the burner

GAS FLOW ADJUSTMENTS

• If the flames have yellow tips, loosen the locking nut and move the bolt in a clockwise direction.
• If the flames are making excessive noise or lifting, loosen the locking nut and turn the bolt in a counter-clockwise direction.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL AND ROTISSERIE
Each main burner is rated at 12,000 BTU/Hr. The main grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and are side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and debris. Above the burners are stainless steel flame tamers. The igniter knobs are located on the lower center portion of the valve panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the control panel.

USING THE GRILL
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at a “HI” heat setting for their entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This method cooks the food thoroughly without burning the outside.
Food cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of its cooking time.

To begin:

1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.
2. Remove remaining packing materials.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions on page 18.
4. Turn the control knob(s) to “HI” setting and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed during the appliance preheat period.
5. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. If necessary, adjust the heat setting. The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LO”.

CAUTION
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
The 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.

USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER
Your grill is capable of performing back burner rotisserie cooking.
Light the rear burner as described in the lighting instructions on page 18. Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in about 1 minute.
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 12lb. cut of meat or poultry. The motor slides onto the stainless steel motor mount.
The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

WARNING
The rotisserie motor is equipped with a plug and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle.
Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Keep the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated surfaces of the grill. When not in use remove and store the motor in a dry location.

THE ROTISSERIE SKEWER
The skewer for the rotisserie should be assembled into the motor assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor, and then sliding the grooved bushing into the slot at the opposite side of the grill.
The thumbscrew for the grooved bushing should be inside the grill body.

LOADING THE ROTISSERIE SKEWER

1. Screw the bushing into the skewer rod at the opposite end from the point.
2. Slide and tighten the counter balance apparatus onto the skewer rod approximately 2-4 in. from the bushing.
3. Slide the first meat fork onto the skewer rod prongs toward the food.
4. Center the product to be cooked on the skewer, and then push the meat forks firmly together.
5. Tighten the wing nuts.
6. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any loose portions.
7. Once the food is secure, insert the skewer into the motor.

It is normal for the skewer to flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked. It may also be necessary to remove the cooking grids for larger cuts of meat.
If the meat scrapes on the cooking grids during any part of the rotation, the cooking grids must be removed.
Adjust the counter balance weight to balance the heavier side of the meat and avoid lopsided rotation of the rotisserie motor.

NOTE
After its first use, the stainless steel adjacent to the rotisserie burner will most likely turn dark blue. This is a normal property of the non-rusting, type stainless steel used on the grill.

CAUTION
Remove the warming rack when using the rotisserie burner. High heat from the burner may cause the warming rack to bend.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE LIGHTING…
Inspect the gas supply piping prior to turning the gas “ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.

WARNING
Do not use the grill if gas odor is present. Contact customer service at 1-800-554-5799.
Leak check the piping and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before operating the grill (see instructions on page 14).
Only the pressure regulator supplied with the unit should be used. Never substitute regulators. If a replacement is necessary, contact customer service for proper replacement 1-800-554-5799.

TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER

1. Make sure all knobs are in the “OFF” position, and turn on the gas supply.
2. The igniter is built into the valve. To ignite each burner simply press and turn the control knobs to the “HI” setting, you will hear the valve click as it sends a spark to the pilot flame.
3. If the burner does not light, wait 5 minutes for any excess gas to dissipate and then retry.

WARNING

CARE & MAINTENANCE

STAINLESS STEEL
The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain.
To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain.
Grease specks can gather and bake onto the surfaces of the stainless steel, giving the appearance of rust. For removal, use an abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner.

CAUTION
Before cleaning make sure the burners are cool, and the gas supply and knobs are in the “OFF” position.

GRILL RACK
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed, and the flame has been turned off.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam.
Scrub the hot grill by dipping a bristle barbeque brush in tap water. Cleaning will be more difficult if the grill is allowed to cool.

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.

GRILL BURNER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
The grill burners are factory installed. To remove the main burners for cleaning,

1. Locate the cotter pin at the rear of the burner on the bottom side.
2. Remove the cotter pin and lift the burner out of the fire box.
3. To reinstall the main burners, insert the burner over the valve assembly (See exploded view and parts list on pages 23 and 24).
4. Insert the back of the burner into the hole at the rear of the fire box and reinsert the cotter pin.

CAUTION
Failure to ensure proper placement of the burner over the valve assembly can cause a fire to occur behind and beneath the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.

GRILL BURNER CLEANING

1. Turn off the gas supply, and make sure all the knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2. Wait for the grill to cool.
3. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Use a metal scrapper for stubborn stains.

GRILLING HINTS
The preparation of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large degree by the thickness of the cut.
The cooking time is affected by meat type, size, shape of the cut, the temperature of the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of preparation desired.
It is recommended that meat be defrosted overnight in a refrigerator as opposed to a microwave. This generally yields a juicier cut of meat.
Turn the meat with a spatula instead of tongs. The spatula will keep the meat whole and trap in the juices.
To get the juiciest meat, add seasoning or salt after the cooking is finished and turn the meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several times). Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface.
Trim excess fat from the meat before cooking.
To prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking, slit the fat around the edges at 2-inch intervals.

WARNING
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
