GRILLING GUIDE

Getting Started

First Time Use Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put together properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising material from all grill surfaces before first use. We recommend operating your grill on its highest setting for 15-20 minutes prior to your first use. This aids in removing the oils used during manufacturing.
Lava Rock / Briquettes This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to be used with flame tamers or heat distribution plates to provide more even heating, improve the cleaning process, and reduce flare-ups. The addition of after market lava rocks, charcoal, or briquettes of any type will cause poor combustion and increase the likelihood of a grease fire, and is not recommended. Using briquettes, lava rock, or charcoal in this grill will void your warranty. For extra smoke flavor, we recommend using a smoker box with wood chips.

Temperature The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill measures air temperature. The air temperature inside your grill will never be as hot as the temperature at the cooking surface.
Note: Since 1995, all regulators (the part that attaches to the gas tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a safety feature that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas using the grill control knob before you turn on the LP tank valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates, the grill will only reach temperatures between 250°F and 300°F even with all burners on the high setting.

Regulator

Coupling Nut

If your grill is not getting hotter than 250°F to 300°F these steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety device: 1. Open the grill lid. 2. Turn off all knobs on the control panel in front. 3. Turn off the tank knob. 4. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank. 5. Wait 30 seconds. 6. Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank. 7. Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way. Do not put
excessive force on the valve at the full open position to avoid damaging the valve. 8. Turn on the appropriate control knob and light the grill per the instructions on the control panel.
An illustration of this process is included in this Product Guide. See Troubleshooting section for additional information.
Pre-Heating Your Grill Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre- heated to provide optimum performance. Pre-heat the grill on high for 1015 minutes longer if weather conditions require. Please refer to the lighting instructions inside the Product Guide if you have questions about how to light your grill. A match-light chain and hole is provided for your convenience.

GRILLING GUIDE Grilling 101
Outdoor grilling is really quite simple. You’ll succeed with burgers, dogs, or steaks usually on your very first try. With experience, you will learn how to work with your grill, creating more imaginative meals all the time. This knowledge makes up the art of grilling. Before you start grilling, organize your food according to cooking technique and required cooking time, and optimize the use of your grilling area.

Rotisserie Cooking Rotisserie cooking is best for ’round’ meat, such as large roasts, whole poultry, and pork. It generally requires an accessory motor and spit rod that allows the meat to be turned at a constant speed. Rotisserie cooking is best done in front of a special rotisserie burner, or utilizing an indirect cooking burner arrangement. A pan can be placed underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings, and helps minimize clean-up.

Direct Cooking Direct cooking involves grilling your meat directly over high heat. It is perfect for searing steaks, chops, and other smaller pieces of meat and vegetables that quickly make their way to the table.

Indirect Cooking Indirect cooking utilizes select burners to circulate heat throughout the grill, without direct contact between the meat and the flame. The meat is placed over the burner that is ‘off’. This method is generally used to slow cook large cuts of meat and poultry. A pan can be placed underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings, and helps minimize clean-up.

Food Safety Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat. Separate: Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods. Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures. Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

GRILLING GUIDE Tips & Tricks
Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking. Grilling can be affected by many external conditions. In cold weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking temperature, and grilling may take longer. The meat’s internal temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times. Cold and thicker meats will take longer to cook.

Internal Meat Temperatures Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached safe internal temperatures.

USDA Recommended Safe Minimum

Please refer to the USDA for complete, up-to-date information. Our internal temperature chart is based on USDA standards for meat doneness. Check it out at www.isitdoneyet.gov

Sauces Sauces containing sugars and fats can cause flare-ups, and your food may burn. In general, apply these sauces during the final 10 minutes of cooking. Keep in mind, use of excessive sauces or glazes will also require extra cleaning afterwards.

Marinades and Rubs To enhance the flavor of grilled foods, a liquid marinade or dry rub can be used prior to cooking. Meat can be either soaked or injected with liquid marinade up to 24 hours prior to grilling. Dry rubs can be applied directly to the meat immediately before grilling.

Wood Chips For extra smoke flavor when grilling, try adding wood chips. Soak the chips in water for approximately 30 minutes before adding to a smoke box or pan. Place smoke box or pan on top of the cooking grate above the flame. Turn grill on high until the wood starts to smoke. Reduce heat to desired temperature for cooking, and place food on cooking grate as desired. Close lid to retain more smoke. Hardwood varieties that work particularly well with grilled foods include Alder, Apple, Cherry, Grapevines, Hickory, Mesquite, Oak, Rosemary and Sassafras.
Skewers Metal skewers should be flat, with long handles. Round skewers allow food to roll when turned, so it may not cook as evenly. Use metal skewers when cooking meat kabobs. Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for an hour before use, and are best used for quick cooking foods such as vegetables and fruits.

Utensils Use tongs or a spatula to handle the food instead of a fork, and don’t turn the food too often. Piercing the food with a fork will release juices that you want in the meat, and may cause flare-ups.

GRILLING GUIDE

Cleaning Your Grill

Why Clean? We’ve all heard the saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This is great advice when it comes to keeping your grill clean.
Routine Care Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary, as grill fires can occur when grease and food debris collect in the bottom of the grill. After each use, remove any remaining food particles from the cooking grate and inside of the grill using a grill brush. Do this after the grill has cooled down, yet is still warm. It is much easier to clean food particles while warmth is still present, than after the food particles have completely cooled and hardened. This grill is not designed to be ‘burned off’ by closing the lid and turning the burners on High for an extended time. The excessive heat generated can cause leftover grease to catch fire, and can cause permanent damage to your grill.
General Cleaning Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain conditions. This can be caused by environmental conditions such as chlorine or salt water, or improper cleaning tools such as wire or steel wool. It can also discolor due to heat, chemicals, or grease build-up. To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm water, or use a stainless steel grill cleaner. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot. Storing Your Grill · Clean cooking grates. · Store grill in dry location. · When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well
ventilated space and out of reach of children. · Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturer. · Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off,
disconnected, and removed from grill. Never store LP cylinder indoors. · When removing grill from storage, follow the ‘Cleaning the Burner Assembly’ instructions in the Use and Care section of the Product Guide.
Critters Spiders like to make their homes in the venturi tubes of grills. These must be inspected and cleaned regularly to ensure there are no blockages. Refer to the Use and Care portion of this Product Guide for complete information.

CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS INSIDE BURNER TUBE

3. Remove carryover tubes and burners. 4. Detach electrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner configuration. See different configurations in illustrations below. 5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you. (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the venturi’s.

CONTROL PANEL

VALVE

SPIDER WEBS INSIDE VENTURI
BURNER

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
Storing Your Grill · Clean cooking grates. · Store in dry location. · When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well-
ventilated space and out of reach of children. · Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturers. · Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors. · When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner
Assembly” instructions before starting grill. Cleaning the Burner Assembly Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill. 1. Turn gas OFF at control knobs and LP cylinder. 2. Remove cooking grates and flame tamers.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not

use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each

burner tube several times.

(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each

port to make sure air comes out each hole.

6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food

residue and dirt.

7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open

paper clip.

8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion

some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or

holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve

openings. See illustrations at right.

9. Attach electrode to burner.

EMERGENCIES: If a gas leak cannot be stopped, or a fire occurs due to gas leakage, call the fire department.

Emergencies Gas leaking from cracked/cut/burned hose.
Gas leaking from LP cylinder. Gas leaking from LP cylinder valve. Gas leaking between LP cylinder and regulator connection. Fire coming through control panel.
Grease fire or continuous excessive flames above cooking surface.

Possible Cause · Damaged hose.
· Mechanical failure due to rusting or mishandling.
· Failure of cylinder valve from mishandling or mechanical failure.
· Improper installation, connection not tight, failure of rubber seal.
· Fire in burner tube section of burner due to blockage.
· Too much grease buildup in burner area.

Prevention/Solution · Turn off gas at LP cylinder or at source on natural gas systems. If
anything but burned, replace valve/hose/regulator. If burned, discontinue use of product until a plumber has investigated cause and corrections are made. · Replace LP cylinder.
· Turn off LP cylinder valve. Return LP cylinder to gas supplier.
· Turn off LP cylinder valve. Remove regulator from cylinder and visually inspect rubber seal for damage. See LP Cylinder Leak Test and Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder.
· Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to allow flames to die down. After fire is out and grill is cold, remove burner and inspect for spider nests or rust. See Natural Hazard and Cleaning the Burner Assembly pages.
· Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to allow flames to die down. After cooling, clean food particles and excess grease from inside firebox area, grease tray, and other surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Problem
Burner(s) will not light using ignitor. (See Electronic Ignition Troubleshooting also) Continued on next page.

Possible Cause GAS ISSUES: · Trying to light wrong burner. · Burner not engaged with control valve. · Obstruction in burner.
· No gas flow.

· Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP cylinder.
· Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not fully connected.
ELECTRICAL ISSUES: · Electrode cracked or broken; “sparks at
crack.” · Electrode tip not in proper position.

· Wire and/or electrode covered with cooking residue.
· Wires are loose or disconnected. · Wires are shorting (sparking) between
ignitor and electrode. · Dead battery.

Prevention/Solution
· See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section. · Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes. · Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other
matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care. · Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty,
refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow.” · For a grill equipped with the AUTO- CLEANTM feature, make sure the AUTO-CLEANTM valve is set to “Grill” · Turn off knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder.
Reconnect and retry. · Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three- quarters
additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools. · Replace electrode(s).
Main Burners: · Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner. The distance should be 1/8″ to 1/4″. Adjust if necessary. Sideburner: · Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on
burner. the distance should be 1/8″ to 3/16″. Adjust if necessary. · Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.
· Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly. · Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.
· Replace with a new alkaline battery.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem Burner(s) will not light using ignitor. (See Electronic Ignition Troubleshooting also)

Possible Cause ELECTRONIC IGNITION: · No spark, no ignition noise. · No spark, some ignition noise. · Sparks, but not at electrode or at full
strength.

Burner(s) will not match light. Sudden drop in gas flow or low flame.

· See “GAS ISSUES:” on previous page. · Match will not reach. · Improper method of match-lighting. · Out of gas. · Excess flow valve tripped.

Flames blow out. Flare-up. Persistent grease fire.

· Vapor lock at coupling nut/LP cylinder connection.
· High or gusting winds. · Low on LP gas. · Excess flow valve tripped. · Grease buildup. · Excessive fat in meat. · Excessive cooking temperature.
· Grease trapped by food buildup around burner system.

Prevention/Solution
· See Section I of Electronic Ignition System. · See Section II of Electronic Ignition System. · See Section III of Electronic Ignition System.
· Use long-stem match (fireplace match). · See “Match-Lighting” section of Use and Care. · Check for gas in LP cylinder. · Turn off knobs, wait 30 seconds and light grill. If flames are still low,
turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator. Reconnect regulator and leak-test. Turn on LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and then light grill. · Turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling nut from cylinder. Reconnect and retry. · Turn front of grill to face wind or increase flame height. · Refill LP cylinder. · Refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow” above. · Clean burners and inside of grill/firebox. · Trim fat from meat before grilling. · Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly. · Turn knobs to OFF. Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Leave lid in position and let fire burn out. After grill cools, remove and clean all parts.

Flashback… (fire in burner tube(s)). Unable to fill LP cylinder. One burner does not light from other burner(s). AUTO-CLEANTM
(If Equipped)
Timer does not work (Green light does not flash)
No LED’s will illuminate

· Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.
· Some dealers have older fill nozzles with worn threads.
· Grease buildup or food particles in end(s) of carryover tube(s).

· Turn knobs to OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes. See burner cleaning section of Use and Care.
· The worn nozzles don’t have enough “bite” to engage the valve. Try a second LP dealer.
· Clean carry-over tube(s) with wire brush.

Possible Cause
