OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that appliances are to be used with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD).
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the overfilling of propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The OPD causes a slower purge/fill operation. Some consumers have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders are “defective”. This is not a defect. Some propane filling stations may not be aware of this device and its effect on the purge/fill operation.
New OPDs coming onto the market have technology that allows for much greater BTU outputs which will decrease the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.
Identification
To identify these cylinders, the OPD handwheel has been standardized to the shape shown.

HOSE & REGULATOR

All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling. 1. The QCC® coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting
Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance valve. This device will activate if the cylinder valve is opened while the appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off before the cylinder valve is opened to prevent accidental activation.
2. The QCC® coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the QCC® cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between 240° and 300°F. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the hand wheel. Remove hose/regulator assembly and replace with a new one.

3. The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC (water column) and is for use with LP gas only. The hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No modifications or substitutions should be attempted.

4. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the base casting of the barbecue.
5. Inspect the seal in the QCC® cylinder valve when replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year whichever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks, creases, or abrasion.

6. Inspect the hose before each use of the barbecue. If the hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be operated.

7. For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator assembly, contact customer service at 1-800-265-2150 or info@omcbbq.com

LEAK TESTING
All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas fitting. AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION: · TEST ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE USING
YOUR GAS BARBECUE. · TEST THE CYLINDER VALVE FOR LEAKS EACH
TIME THE CYLINDER IS FILLED. · TEST FOR LEAKS EVERY TIME YOU CONNECT A
GAS FITTING. · DO NOT SMOKE! · NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A LIGHTED
MATCH OR OPEN FLAME. · TEST FOR LEAKS OUTDOORS. TO TEST FOR LEAKS: 1. Extinguish any open
flame or cigarettes in the area. 2. Be sure that cylinder valve and appliance valves are “off”. 3. Connect LP gas cylinder. See “Hose and Regulator”. 4. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent. 5. With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder slowly. 6. Brush the soap solution on each connection. If your barbecue is equipped with a side burner or rear burner: a. Place finger tip over the opening in the orifice at the end of hose. b. Turn “SIDE”/”REAR” control to “HI”. c. Brush soap solution on each connection between orifice and control valve. d. Turn “SIDE”/”REAR” control to “OFF”.

VENTURI TUBES
· KEEP VENTURI TUBES CLEAN. · Blockages caused by spiders insects and nests
can cause a flashback fire. Although the barbecue might still light, the backed up gas might also ignite and cause a fire around the venturi tubes at the control panel or side burner.

OPERATION

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Burn-off. Before cooking on your gas barbecue for the first time, burn off the barbecue to rid it of any odours or foreign matter as follows:
Remove cooking grids and warming rack and wash in mild soap and water. Ignite the burner. Close the lid and operate the barbecue for 20 minutes with the control knobs set at “MEDIUM/HIGH”. Turn the gas off at the source. Turn the control knobs to “Off”. Let the appliance cool down, replace the grids. You are now ready to use the appliance.
Preheating. When grilling, preheat the barbecue on Medium/High with the lid closed for ten minutes. Reduce heat as appropriate for what you are grilling. Scrub grids with a wire grill brush and brush or spray the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking.
Lid Position. The position of the lid during cooking is a matter of personal preference, but the barbecue cooks faster, uses less gas, and controls the temperature best with the lid closed. A closed lid also imparts a smokier flavor to meat cooked directly on the grid, and is essential for smoke and convection cooking.
Vapourization Systems. Your gas grill is designed for use with the Flav-R-WaveTM vapourization system (included). Do not use lava rock, ceramic briquets or any other vapourization system other than the one that came with the barbecue.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
High Setting will produce temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 600 – 650°F (320 – 340° C). Use this setting only for fast warm-up and for burning food residue from the cooking grids after the cookout is over. This setting is also ideal for quickly searing steaks before reducing temperature. Rarely, if ever, do you use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.
Medium/High Setting will produce temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 550°F (290 ° C). Use this setting for warm-up and for grilling steaks and chops,
Medium Setting will produce temperatures inside the barbecue of approximately 450° F (230°C) with the lid down. Use this setting for most grilling of chicken, burgers, vegetables and for roasting, and baking.
Low Setting will produce temperatures inside the barbecue of approximately 310- 350° F (155-175° C). Use this setting for all smoke cooking, large cuts of meat, delicate fish, and for dough and pastry such as pizza and quesadillas.
These temperatures are approximate only and vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind present.

DIRECT GRILLING
The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on grids directly over the flame. Direct grilling is the most popular method for most single serving items such as steaks, chops, fish, burgers, kebabs and vegetables.
1. Prepare food in advance to avoid delay and timing problems. If using marinade or spices, they should be applied before placing meat on the cooking grid. If basting with sauces, they should be applied the last 2-4 minutes of grilling to avoid burning.
2. Organize the area around the barbecue to include forks, tongs, oven mitts, sauces and seasonings, to allow you to stay in the vicinity of the barbecue while cooking.
3. Bring meat to room temperature just prior to grilling. Trim excess fat from meat to minimize the “flare-ups” that are caused by dripping grease.
4. Pre-heat the barbecue to the desired temperature with the cover closed.
5. Coat the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking to the grids.
6. Hold the salt when cooking meats on the barbecue. The meat will stay juicier if the salt is added after cooking.
7. To prevent steaks from “drying out”, use tongs rather than a fork and start on “MEDIUM/HIGH” to sear the meat and seal the juices in. Reduce the heat and extend cooking times when grilling thicker cuts of meat.
8. Learn to test when the meat is done by time and feel. The meat firms up as it cooks. When the meat is soft it is rare. When it is firm, it is well done.
9. Follow the perfect steak grilling guide for most meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.

INDIRECT CONVECTION COOKING

This method is ideal for cooking large cuts of meat such as roasts or poultry with or without a rotisserie. The food is cooked by hot air circulating around it.
1. For most applications of convection cooking with and without a rotisserie, a drip pan is recommended to catch the drippings. Place drip pan on top of the FlavR-Wave, beneath centre of food. Put half to one inch of water in the drip pan. Fruit juice, wine or a marinade may also be added to enhance the flavour. Do not let the drip pan run dry.
2. In most cases convection cooking with and without a rotisserie is best with the cover closed and the heat reduced. All burners can be set to low or the outside burners can be set to medium and the middle burner(s) can be turned off. Turning the center burner off will prevent juices in the drip pan from burning.
3. Prior to placing the meat on the barbecue, baste the meat with vegetable oil. This will enhance the browning on the outside of the meat.
4. When cooking without a drip pan, close attention must be paid to avoid the risk of grease fire and is not recommended.
5. Use oven mitts when working around the barbecue to avoid injury.
6. Turn barbecue off and allow it to cool before removing drip pan. The fat drippings are highly flammable and must be handled carefully to avoid injury.
7. For convection cooking roasts and poultry without a rotisserie, place meat in a roasting rack directly on the grids.

ROTISSERIE COOKING
Follow the steps for Indirect Convection Cooking above.
1. The rotisserie can accommodate up to 7 kg (15lb) of meat with the limiting factor of rotating clearance. For best results the meat should be centered on the center line of spit to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.
2. The rotisserie can be used with the cooking grids in place if space allows.
3. Fasten the meat securely on the spit prior to placing it on the barbecue. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in tightly to avoid contact with drip pan.
Rear Burner Rotisserie
Certain models feature a rear burner for rotisserie cooking. The rear burner rotisserie method is the ultimate for cooking roasts and poultry. With the heat source located behind the food, there is no chance of a flare up caused by fat drippings. Cook with confidence knowing you will get perfect results every time. A dish or drip pan placed below the spit will collect the juices for basting or for preparing a sauce.

The spring loaded rear burner may be easily removed when not in use.
To operate your rear burner, follow the lighting directions on page 6.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
HOW TO USE A SPIT
LEG OF LAMB

SPIT BALANCE
SPIT BALANCE

1. Have 3″ of bone sawed from small end of leg. Leave meat around bone intact to form a flap. Put a spit fork on rod. Fold flap up and run rod through flap and leg. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in each end of leg. Test for balance. Tighten screws.
POULTRY 1. With breast down; bring neck skin up over cavity.
Turn under edges of skin; skewer to back skin. Loop twine around skewer and tie. Turn breast side up; tie or skewer wings to body.
2. Put a spit fork on rod. Insert rod in neck skin parallel to backbone; bring it out just above tail. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in breast and tail. Test for balance. Tighten screws.
3. Tie tail to rod with twine. Cross legs; tie to tail. THREE CHICKENS ON A SPIT

1. Loosen the rod handle to allow the balance to turn freely. Set the rotisserie rod in the slots of the barbecue casting. Let the heaviest side of the meat rotate to the bottom.
2. Adjust the balance to the top of the rod, opposite the heaviest side of the meat. Tighten the rod handle. Periodically, check to see if the meat turns smoothly while cooking. Adjust the balancer as necessary. Caution: Use oven mitt when adjusting balancer.
HOW TO USE A BARBECUE THERMOMETER
1. The accurate way to determine when a large piece of meat is done is to use a barbecue thermometer. Insert the thermometer at an angle so the sturdy pointed metal tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Be careful that it doesn’t touch the spit or the bone, and that the point is not resting in fat.
2. Leave the thermometer in place while the meat revolves. When the thermometer reaches the desired temperature the meat is done. Add your sauces during the last few minutes of cooking time, then take the meat off spit and let the meat stand about 15 minutes to firm up. Carve and serve.
For poultry: insert the tip of the thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh close to the body.

1. Tie or skewer wings to body. Put a spit fork on rod. Dovetail chickens on rod. Loop twine around tails and legs; tie to rod. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in chicken. Tighten screws.

For ham or roasts: insert the tip of the thermometer in the center of the heaviest section of the meat.

MAINTENANCE

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
After you have finished, prepare for the next cookout by burning off any residue of food from the grid and briquettes, Flav-R-WaveTM or Flav-R-CastTM in the following manner:
Cooking Grids
Remove all food from the grids, turn the control knobs to “HIGH”, and operate the barbecue with the lid closed for 5 to 10 minutes or until smoking stops. Turn the gas cylinder valve to OFF, then the control knobs to OFF.
Use a long-handled brass wire brush to clean the grids. Remember that the barbecue is hot, so wear kitchen mitts or use a pot-holder to handle the brush.
You do not have to wash the grids and upper cooking rack after each cookout, but if you wish to do so, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse them thoroughly. Never use a commercial oven cleaner.
Porcelain Coating – Most OMC cooking grids are coated with a durable porcelain enamel to assist in cleaning and reduce the tendency of food sticking to the grid. Some chipping may occur if mishandled. This will not affect the use or performance of the grids. If some rust appears, remove the rust with a scrub pad and coat the grid with cooking oil.
Ceramic Briquets
If any residue begins to accumulate on the briquets, remove the cooking grids and turn the briquets over prior to lighting the barbecue. Be sure to place briquets evenly in one layer. The underside of the briquets will self clean while preheating the barbecue.
Flav-R-WaveTM If any residue begins to accumulate on the Flav-R-WaveTM, remove cooking grids and scrape excess residue with back of barbecue brush.
Flav-R-CastTM
Excess food residue may be removed using a scrub pad or brass grill brush. Coat the Flav-R-CastTM with cooking oil when not using the barbecue for an extended period. The Flav-R-CastTM is coated with a matte porcelain finish to assist in cleaning and help prevent rust. Some chipping may occur if mishandled. This will not affect the use or performance of the Flav-R-CastTM. If rust appears, remove the rust with a scrub pad and coat with cooking oil.
Grease Cup Holder
The grease cup holder is located on the bottom of the cooking oven immediately below the hole through which grease will drain. The grease cup is not provided. The clip, however, has been designed to hold a standard soup can or jar. Simply snap the can or jar into place. The grease cup should be checked and replaced regularly to prevent grease from overflowing onto your patio.

General Cleaning
When the barbecue is cold, remove the grids. If equipped with briquets, turn over. Cover three quarters of the briquettes, Flav-R-WaveTM or Flav-R-CastTM with aluminum foil, shiny side down. Ignite the burners; operate the barbecue on HIGH with the lid closed for 10 minutes or until smoking stops. Turn the gas cylinder valve to OFF, turn the control knobs to OFF. When the barbecue is cool, remove the foil, and residue from briquettes, Flav-R-WaveTM, FlavR- CastTM with a vacuum. Remove briquets and grate or Flav-R-WaveTM, Flav-R-CastTM, then clean the interior of the bottom oven by scrapping the sides and vacuuming.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To ensure safe and efficient performance, the following components should be inspected and cleaned at least once per year or after any period of storage exceeding one month.
Burner Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration.
Clean venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any blockages caused by spiders or insects. See “Venturi Tubes”.
While burner is removed, clean interior of bottom oven by scrapping the sides and vacuuming.
Hose
Inspect and replace if necessary. See “Hose and Regulator”.
Perma-Mold Shelves Wash with soap and water. To enhance luster, coat lightly with cooking oil.
Exterior Finish If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the housing with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly, then wipe them with a cloth dipped in cooking oil to restore the luster. For repair of paint scratches and scuffs, use a good quality HIGH temperature (600°F) spray paint for touch-up.

OPERATION

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Burn-off. Before cooking on your gas barbecue for the first time, burn off the barbecue to rid it of any odours or foreign matter as follows:
Remove cooking grids and warming rack and wash in mild soap and water. Ignite the burner. Close the lid and operate the barbecue for 20 minutes with the control knobs set at “MEDIUM/HIGH”. Turn the gas off at the source. Turn the control knobs to “Off”. Let the appliance cool down, replace the grids. You are now ready to use the appliance.
Preheating. When grilling, preheat the barbecue on Medium/High with the lid closed for ten minutes. Reduce heat as appropriate for what you are grilling. Scrub grids with a wire grill brush and brush or spray the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking.
Lid Position. The position of the lid during cooking is a matter of personal preference, but the barbecue cooks faster, uses less gas, and controls the temperature best with the lid closed. A closed lid also imparts a smokier flavor to meat cooked directly on the grid, and is essential for smoke and convection cooking.
Vapourization Systems. Your gas grill is designed for use with the Flav-R-WaveTM vapourization system (included). Do not use lava rock, ceramic briquets or any other vapourization system other than the one that came with the barbecue.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
High Setting will produce temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 600 – 650°F (320 – 340° C). Use this setting only for fast warm-up and for burning food residue from the cooking grids after the cookout is over. This setting is also ideal for quickly searing steaks before reducing temperature. Rarely, if ever, do you use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.
Medium/High Setting will produce temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 550°F (290 ° C). Use this setting for warm-up and for grilling steaks and chops,
Medium Setting will produce temperatures inside the barbecue of approximately 450° F (230°C) with the lid down. Use this setting for most grilling of chicken, burgers, vegetables and for roasting, and baking.
Low Setting will produce temperatures inside the barbecue of approximately 310- 350° F (155-175° C). Use this setting for all smoke cooking, large cuts of meat, delicate fish, and for dough and pastry such as pizza and quesadillas.
These temperatures are approximate only and vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind present.

DIRECT GRILLING
The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on grids directly over the flame. Direct grilling is the most popular method for most single serving items such as steaks, chops, fish, burgers, kebabs and vegetables.
1. Prepare food in advance to avoid delay and timing problems. If using marinade or spices, they should be applied before placing meat on the cooking grid. If basting with sauces, they should be applied the last 2-4 minutes of grilling to avoid burning.
2. Organize the area around the barbecue to include forks, tongs, oven mitts, sauces and seasonings, to allow you to stay in the vicinity of the barbecue while cooking.
3. Bring meat to room temperature just prior to grilling. Trim excess fat from meat to minimize the “flare-ups” that are caused by dripping grease.
4. Pre-heat the barbecue to the desired temperature with the cover closed.
5. Coat the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking to the grids.
6. Hold the salt when cooking meats on the barbecue. The meat will stay juicier if the salt is added after cooking.
7. To prevent steaks from “drying out”, use tongs rather than a fork and start on “MEDIUM/HIGH” to sear the meat and seal the juices in. Reduce the heat and extend cooking times when grilling thicker cuts of meat.
8. Learn to test when the meat is done by time and feel. The meat firms up as it cooks. When the meat is soft it is rare. When it is firm, it is well done.
9. Follow the perfect steak grilling guide for most meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.

INDIRECT CONVECTION COOKING

This method is ideal for cooking large cuts of meat such as roasts or poultry with or without a rotisserie. The food is cooked by hot air circulating around it.

1. For most applications of convection cooking with and without a rotisserie, a drip pan is recommended to catch the drippings. Place drip pan on top of the Flav-RWaveTM, beneath centre of food. Put half to one inch of water in the drip pan. Fruit juice, wine or a marinade may also be added to enhance the flavour. Do not let the drip pan run dry.

2. In most cases convection cooking with and without a rotisserie is best with the cover closed and the heat reduced. All burners can be set to low or the outside burners can be set to medium and the middle burner(s) can be turned off. Turning the center burner off will prevent juices in the drip pan from burning.

3. Prior to placing the meat on the barbecue, baste the meat with vegetable oil. This will enhance the browning on the outside of the meat.

4. When cooking without a drip pan, close attention must be paid to avoid the risk of grease fire and is not recommended.

5. Use oven mitts when working around the barbecue to avoid injury.

6. Turn barbecue off and allow it to cool before removing drip pan. The fat drippings are highly flammable and must be handled carefully to avoid injury.

7. For convection cooking roasts and poultry without a rotisserie, place meat in a roasting rack directly on the grids.

ROTISSERIE COOKING
Follow the steps for Indirect Convection Cooking above.
1. The rotisserie can accommodate up to 7 kg (15lb) of meat with the limiting factor of rotating clearance. For best results the meat should be centered on the center line of spit to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.
2. The rotisserie can be used with the cooking grids in place if space allows.
3. Fasten the meat securely on the spit prior to placing it on the barbecue. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in tightly to avoid contact with drip pan.
REAR BURNER ROTISSERIE
Certain models feature a rear burner for rotisserie cooking. The rear burner rotisserie method is the ultimate for cooking roasts and poultry. With the heat source located behind the food, there is no chance of a flare up caused by fat drippings. Cook with confidence knowing you will get perfect results every time. A dish or drip pan placed below the spit will collect the juices for basting or for preparing a sauce.

The spring loaded rear burner may be easily removed when not in use.
To operate your rear burner, follow the lighting directions on page 6.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
HOW TO USE A SPIT
LEG OF LAMB

SPIT BALANCE
SPIT BALANCE

1. Have 3″ of bone sawed from small end of leg. Leave meat around bone intact to form a flap. Put a spit fork on rod. Fold flap up and run rod through flap and leg. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in each end of leg. Test for balance. Tighten screws.
POULTRY 1. With breast down; bring neck skin up over cavity.
Turn under edges of skin; skewer to back skin. Loop twine around skewer and tie. Turn breast side up; tie or skewer wings to body.
2. Put a spit fork on rod. Insert rod in neck skin parallel to backbone; bring it out just above tail. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in breast and tail. Test for balance. Tighten screws.
3. Tie tail to rod with twine. Cross legs; tie to tail. THREE CHICKENS ON A SPIT

1. Loosen the rod handle to allow the balance to turn freely. Set the rotisserie rod in the slots of the barbecue casting. Let the heaviest side of the meat rotate to the bottom.
2. Adjust the balance to the top of the rod, opposite the heaviest side of the meat. Tighten the rod handle. Periodically, check to see if the meat turns smoothly while cooking. Adjust the balancer as necessary. Caution: Use oven mitt when adjusting balancer.
HOW TO USE A BARBECUE THERMOMETER
1. The accurate way to determine when a large piece of meat is done is to use a barbecue thermometer. Insert the thermometer at an angle so the sturdy pointed metal tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Be careful that it doesn’t touch the spit or the bone, and that the point is not resting in fat.
2. Leave the thermometer in place while the meat revolves. When the thermometer reaches the desired temperature the meat is done. Add your sauces during the last few minutes of cooking time, then take the meat off spit and let the meat stand about 15 minutes to firm up. Carve and serve.
For poultry: insert the tip of the thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh close to the body.

1. Tie or skewer wings to body. Put a spit fork on rod. Dovetail chickens on rod. Loop twine around tails and legs; tie to rod. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in chicken. Tighten screws.

For ham or roasts: insert the tip of the thermometer in the center of the heaviest section of the meat.

After you have finished, prepare for the next cookout by burning off any residue of food from the grid and briquettes or Flav-R-WaveTM or Flav-R-CastTM in the following manner:
Cooking Grids
Remove all food from the grids, turn the control knobs to “HIGH”, and operate the barbecue with the lid closed for 5 to 10 minutes or until smoking stops. Turn the gas cylinder valve to OFF, then the control knobs to OFF.
Use a long-handled brass wire brush to clean the grids. Remember that the barbecue is hot, so wear kitchen mitts or use a pot-holder to handle the brush.
You do not have to wash the grids and upper cooking rack after each cookout, but if you wish to do so, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse them thoroughly. Never use a commercial oven cleaner.

General Cleaning
When the barbecue is cold, remove the grids. If equipped with briquets, turn over. Cover three quarters of the briquettes or Flav-R-WaveTM or Flav-R-CastTM with aluminum foil, shiny side down. Ignite the burners; operate the barbecue on HIGH with the lid closed for 10 minutes or until smoking stops. Turn the gas cylinder valve to OFF, turn the control knobs to OFF. When the barbecue is cool, remove the foil, and residue from briquettes or Flav-R-WaveTM or Flav-R-CastTM with a vacuum. Remove briquetts and grate or Flav-R-WaveTM or Flav-R-CastTM, then clean the interior of the bottom oven by scrapping the sides and vacuuming.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To ensure safe and efficient performance, the following components should be inspected and cleaned at least once per year or after any period of storage exceeding one month.

Porcelain Coating – Most OMC cooking grids are coated with a durable porcelain enamel to assist in cleaning and reduce the tendency of food sticking to the grid. Some chipping may occur if mishandled. This will not affect the use or performance of the grids. If some rust appears, remove the rust with a scrub pad and coat the grid with cooking oil.
Ceramic Briquets
If any residue begins to accumulate on the briquets, remove the cooking grids and turn the briquets over prior to lighting the barbecue. Be sure to place briquets evenly in one layer. The underside of the briquets will self clean while preheating the barbecue.
Flav-R-WaveTM If any residue begins to accumulate on the Flav-R-WaveTM, remove cooking grids and scrape excess residue with back of barbecue brush.
Flav-R-CastTM
Excess food residue may be removed using a scrub pad or brass grill brush. Coat the Flav-R-CastTM with cooking oil when not using the barbecue for an extended period. The Flav-R-CastTM is coated with a matte porcelain finish to assist in cleaning and help prevent rust. Some chipping may occur if mishandled. This will not affect the use or performance of the Flav-R-CastTM. If rust appears, remove the rust with a scrub pad and coat with cooking oil.

Burner Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration.
Clean venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any blockages caused by spiders or insects. See “Venturi Tubes”.
While burner is removed, clean interior of bottom oven by scrapping the sides and vacuuming.
Hose
Inspect and replace if necessary. See “Hose and Regulator”.
Perma-Mold Shelves Wash with soap and water. To enhance luster, coat lightly with cooking oil.
Exterior Finish If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the housing with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly, then wipe them with a cloth dipped in cooking oil to restore the luster. For repair of paint scratches and scuffs, use a good quality HIGH temperature (600°F) spray paint for touch-up.
Replacement Parts If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer, approved service centre, or contact the factory for repairs or replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance, use only original OMC replacement parts.
Leak Test After reconnecting gas cylinder, be sure to check for leaks. See “Leak Testing”

Grease Cup Holder

The grease cup holder is located on the bottom of the cooking oven immediately below the hole through which grease will drain. The grease cup is not provided. The clip, however, has been designed to hold a standard soup can or jar. Simply snap the can or jar into place. The grease cup should be checked and replaced regularly to prevent grease from overflowing onto your patio.
