WARNING

OPERATING THE GRILL: 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 “HIGH” to burn off these residual oils.

PREHEATING THE GRILL:

• Prior to 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 control knobs to the “HIGH” position for 10 to 15 minutes. Close the cover during the preheat period.

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:

• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease on the top of the heat tents. 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 grease fire occurs close the lid and 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 grill when in use.
• DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.
• Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:

• Trim excess fat from meats prior to 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 drip pan.

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.

ROTISSERIE COOKING

• This grill has pre-drilled mounting holes for a rotisserie. Do not use a rotisserie not specifically manufactured for this grill.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions in the owner’s manual provided with the rotisserie. Save instructions for future reference.
• Do not use the side burner when using a rotisserie.
• DO NOT use back rotisserie burner when main burners are in use.

WARNING

• When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in 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.

USING OTHER FEATURES OF THE GRILL

THE SIDE BURNER

• Wash cooking grills with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat the cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.

• Clean the inside and outside of the grill by wiping it off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.

• The 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, and then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

• To protect granite countertops against stains and discoloration, use a high-quality penetrating sealant made specifically for granite. The sealant should be applied periodically throughout the year.

• For standard maintenance on granite countertops, wipe with warm water or mild soapy water. Cleaners made specifically for cleaning granite may be used as necessary. Do not use vinegar, cleaners that contain acid, abrasive cleaners, or furniture polish. We suggest the following routine care:

• Clean up spills immediately;

• Dust with an untreated cloth;

• Use coasters;

• Keep planters off the surface;

• Always keep covered when not in use.

• For standard maintenance on fiberglass walls, wipe with warm water or mild soapy water. Do not use vinegar, cleaners that contain acid, abrasive cleaners, or furniture polish. Keep covered when not in use.

• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

• Keep the ventilation openings free and clear of debris.

• Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in “Burner Assembly/Maintenance” under Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.

• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after extended periods of storage.

• 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 distribution plates, 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.

BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE

• Although your burners are constructed of brass, they may rust 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 the burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.

1. Turn the gas off at the control knobs and natural gas supply.

2. Remove cooking grills and heat distribution plates.

3. Remove cotter pins from beneath each burner “foot” using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers.

4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

5. 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 6.

6. 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.

7. Wire brush the entire outer surface of the burner to remove food residue and dirt.

8. Check the burner for damage, if any large cracks or holes are found replace the burner.
   IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.

9. Carefully replace burners.

10. Replace cotter pins beneath each burner and follow the “Gas Leak Testing” section of this manual. Relight burners to verify proper operation.

11. Replace heat distribution plates 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 porcelain-coated cooking grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.

HEAT DISTRIBUTION PLATES

• 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 grill. Inspect the heat distribution plates and replace them if broken or damaged. Do not allow heat distribution plates to become damaged to the extent that they may fall through onto the burners. Replace the heat distribution plates and cooking grills and light the burners. Operate the grill on “HIGH” for 10 minutes to remove the excess grease.

WARNING

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE

• Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces.
• Make sure that the natural gas supply 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.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Cooking Grills: Wash grills with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water before initial use and as needed. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner. For stubborn food residue, use a degreaser and fiber or brass cleaning brush. Cleaning Porcelain-Finished Cast-Iron Cooking Grills: Wash grills with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water before initial use and as needed. For stubborn food residue, use a degreaser and fiber or brass cleaning brush. Dry immediately using a soft cloth or paper towel. Cleaning Heat Distribution Plate: Heat distribution plates should be cleaned whenever food or grease drippings accumulate to reduce the chance of flare-ups. Wash heat distribution plates with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water. Use a degreaser and fiber or brass cleaning brush to remove stubborn food residue. Do not use a wire brush or metal scraper on porcelain-finished heat distribution plates, as they can scratch or chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting.
Cleaning the Grease Tray and/or Grease Cup: The grease tray and/or grease cup (some models) should be inspected before each grill use to reduce the chance of fire. Remove grease (a plastic spatula works well) and wash all parts with a mild soap or degreaser and warm water solution.

Question: What causes grill parts to rust and what effect does it have on the grill materials?
Answer: Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on cast iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect the short-term performance of your grill. Stainless steel grill parts will not rust. However, weathering and extreme heat can cause a stainless steel lid to turn a bronze color. This is discoloration, not rust, and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

Question: What causes my stainless steel grill lid to discolor and how do I clean my grill lid?
Answer: Smoke, weathering and high heat can cause a stainless steel grill lid to turn bronze in color. This is not to be confused with rust and is not a product defect. Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel as well as cooking oils and a dirty grill lid can also encourage discoloration if the lid is not cleaned prior to grill use. After your grill is assembled, remove the protective PVC film from your grill lid and use a stainless steel cleaner and soft cloth to remove residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside of your grill lid. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial cleaning, routine cleaning to remove dirt, grease and oils will help discourage lid discoloration.
