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.

With the gas supply closed and control knob set to the “OFF” position, press the igniter button and have another person watch for the presence of a spark at the electrode tips. The gap between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be about 3/16″ (,47cm). If the electrode tip needs to be adjusted, bend it to the appropriate gap distance.
· Check that the end of each burner venturi tube is properly located over its gas valve orifice fitting.
· There may be an obstruction in the gas line. To correct this, remove gas supply line from Quick-disconnect coupler. Open gas supply for one second to test for obstruction. If no obstruction is present, reconnect fuel line. If the fuel line is blocked, please contact your local natural gas company.
Question: How and when do I clean the interior cooking components of my grill?
Answer: Use a fiber or brass cleaning brush to clean the interior or the grill, cooking grills, heat distribution plates and grease containers. Never use a wire brush or metal scraper on porcelain-finished parts, as they can scratch or chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting.
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 towels.
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 affect 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.
