CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS

When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas grill, it must be constructed and marked by the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-8339 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and provided with a listed over-filling prevention device (OPD), and provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances. The cylinder must also be equipped with:

A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.
A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is obtained.
An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.
A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).

Warning

Turn off the cylinder valve when your grill is not in use.
Handle the tank with care.
Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.
Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your grill.
DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.
DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill.
Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.
DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80%capacity.
Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on the cylinder and that accompany this product.

DANGER

Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill. This could cause excess pressure to be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion, or severe personal injury including death.

Note: PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW AREAS. PROPER VENTILATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from obstructions and debris.
DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. Damage to the back-check could result. A damaged back-check can cause a leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire, severe bodily harm, or death.

HOSE AND REGULATOR

HOSE AND REGULATOR
Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:

The system will not allow gas to flow from the cylinder until a positive connection to the valve has been made.
Note: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed.
A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to 150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and dispose of it properly. To ensure proper operation, any replacement of the fuel tank regulator assembly has to be done with parts authorized by the grill manufacturer. The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before using your grill again.
A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device is activated, perform the Regulator Resetting Procedure.

REGULATOR RESETTING PROCEDURE

Make sure that all burners are off. Turn off the cylinder valve and disconnect the regulator from the LP gas tank. Wait approximately two minutes.
Reattach the regulator and slowly turn the cylinder valve back on. The flow-limiting device will now be reset.

WARNING

Never use your grill without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the section on “Leak
Testing” in this manual for proper procedures.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL

In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surfaces of your grill.
Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on “Hi” to burn off these residual oils.

PREHEATING THE GRILL

Before use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the main burner flame adjustment to the “Hi” position for 10 to 15 minutes.

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can overcook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. If a grease fire occurs turn off the main burners until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.

WARNING

DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.
DO NOT move the grill when in use.
DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.
Have a fire extinguisher readily accessible and suitable for use with gas appliances.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS

Trim excess fat from meats before cooking.
Cook meats with high-fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the drain hole in the bottom and into the grease cup.

INDIRECT COOKING

Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow-cooking a roast on the other (unlit) side of the grill.

THE INTERIOR LIGHT

The interior light provides outdoor lighting when operating the grill at night.
The light can be operated from the push button light switch located on the front control panel.

Note: When replacing the bulb, unscrew the lens and pull the old bulb straight out of the bulb holder. Make certain that the “legs” on the new bulb are straight. Insert “legs” into the two holes in the bulb holder. Gently push the bulb straight in until fully seated and centered. Replace the lens on light. When replacing bulbs, never exceed 25-watt bulbs. The preferred bulb is a standard 20-25-watt quartz bulb available at most hardware stores.

THE SIDE BURNER

The side burner can be used to prepare side dishes such as beans, potatoes, and corn, or to warm sauces.
The burner valve can be adjusted from high to low depending on your cooking demands.

WARNING

When using an AC rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded by local cdes, or the absence of local codes:
In the US: The National Electrical Code – ANSI-NFPA No. 70 – Latest Edition
In Canada: the Canadian Electrical Code – CSA C22.1
The Rotisserie is equipped with a three-pronged plug for your protection against electrical shock. This plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle. Never cut or remove the grounding plug. Any extension cord must also have a 3 prong receptacle.
All electrical supply cords should be kept away from water and any hot surfaces of the grill.
Read instructions on lighting your grill to light the side burner.
Never close the side burner cover when the burner is lit.
Use a 10″ diameter pot or smaller that does NOT have an extended handle when cooking on the side burner. Center pot over the burner.
Use caution to avoid bumping the grill, side burner, or pot to prevent the pot from spilling contents possibly leading to severe burns.
DO NOT use aa de burner to deep fry food in oil to avoid dangers associated with oil igniting creating a very dangerous situation.

USING THE SMOKER
In manufacturing and preserving the components of your smoker, oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surfaces of your smoker. Before cooking on your smoker for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on “Hi” to burn off these residual oils. Never apply paint to the interior surface of your smoker. Paint toxins may contaminate your food. However, if paint becomes necessary after use, see the section in this manual concerning After Use Safety and Maintenance.

ADDING WATER
Place the wood chip/water pan into the rack at the bottom of the smoker. To add water before cooking, simply fill the wood chip/water pan with water up to 1/2″ (1.25 cm) below the rim. To add water while the smoker is hot, DO NOT pull the wood chip/water pan out beyond the rack.

Cooking Tip

To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean watering can with a long spout.

ADDING WOOD CHIPS
To add wood chips before cooking, simply fill the wood chip/water pan with your choice of flavoring hardwood chips. T he amount and type of wood you use is entirely up to you. One full pan is typically enough for several hours of smoking. Once the pan is filled, set thepan in the smoker and cover with lid. To add wood chips while cooking, we recommend using tongs or long-handled pliers to remove the pan lid and to place the pieces into the wood chip pan without removing the pan. It is not recommended to remove the wood chip/water pan while the smoker is in operation.

CAUTION: The wood chip/water pan and lid get very hot. Avoid handling them while in use. Always wear protective oven mitts when handling hot components.

Cooking Tips – Flavoring wood

Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip box.
Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite.
Most fruit or nut tree woods produce excellent smoke flavoring.
Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood. These usually produce unpleasant flavoring.
Let your taste be your guide – experiment with different types and quantities of wood chunks, chips, or sticks. You can even mix woods.
To produce more smoke and to prevent fast burning, presoak the wood chips in a separate bowl of water for at least 20 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated aluminum foil.
Most smoke flavoring occurs within the first hour of cooking. Adding wood chips after the first hour is typically not necessary unless extra smoke flavoring is desired.

GRILL COOKING TIPS

AFTER USE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.
Wash cooking grills and heat diffusers with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.
The stainless steel exterior surface of your grill can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner.
Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform all Cleaning and Maintenance points in this list at least twice a year or after extended periods of storage.
Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in “Lighting Procedures”). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.

CAUTION! Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.

Remove the cooking grills, heat diffusers and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.
Protect all Electrical Equipment (Lights, Electrical Cord.), Electrical Cord and Plug from water before cleaning the appliance or grill. Do not immerse the electrical Equipment, Electrical Cord or Plug in water or other liquid.
Do not use the electrical appliances for other than intended use.
Unplug the electrical cord from electrical outlets when not in use. If storing your grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.

BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE

Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they may corrode as a result of the extreme heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.

Turn the gas off at the control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
Remove cooking grills and heat diffusers.
Remove the M5 bolt and M5 nut from each burner “foot”.
Carefully lift each crossover channel up and away from burners.
Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook to run through each burner tube and flame port several times.
- Note: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 7.
Use compressed air to blow into the burner tube and out the flame ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out of each hole.
Wire brush the entire outer surface of the burner to remove food residue and dirt.
Check the burner for damage, if any large cracks or holes are found replace the burner.
IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.
Carefully align crossover channels between burners and orient burners CORRECTLY by aligning the screw hole in the burner to the left as shown.
Replace the M6 bolt and M6 nut to each burner and crossover channel.
Note: Follow the “Gas Leak Testing” section of this manual. Relight burners to verify proper operation.
Replace heat diffusers and cooking grills.

COOKING GRILLS

Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used to remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cooking grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.

HEAT DIFFUSERS

Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat distribution plate to prevent excess grease build-up. When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grills. Inspect the heat diffusers and replace if broken or damaged. Do not allow heat diffusers to become damaged to the extent that they may fall through onto the burners. Replace the heat diffusers and cooking grills and light the burners. Operate the grill on “Hi” for 10 minutes to remove the excess grease.

BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL

Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
Clean all surfaces.
Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.
Place a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
Clean burner before use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after one month of not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.
If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.

WARNING

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:

Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces.
Make sure that the cylinder valve is shut off. After moving the grill check that all gas connections are free of leaks. Refer to instructions for Leak Testing.
DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (filled or empty) under or near the grill.
Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.
DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.
If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
When removing the grill from storage, spider webs or other debris may be blocking the burner. See “Burner Assembly/Maintenance” under Proper Care and Maintenance.
