INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Gas Connection Requirements
Explosion Hazard Do not store fuel tank in a garage or indoors.
Do not store grill with fuel tank in a garage or indoors.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire. LP Gas:
IMPORTANT: A 20 lb LP gas fuel tank must be purchased separately.
IMPORTANT: The gas pressure regulator/hose assembly supplied with the grill must be used. Replacement gas pressure regulator/hose assembly specific to your model, is available from your outdoor grill dealer.

Check the Burners
The burners are tested and factory-set for most efficient operation. However, variations in gas supply and other conditions may make minor adjustments to air shutter or low flame setting necessary. It is recommended that a qualified person make burner adjustments.
Checking the grill burner flames requires removing the grate and flavor grids.
Burner Flame Characteristics
The flames of the grill burners and side burners (on some models) should be blue and stable with no excessive noise or lifting (LP gas flames will have a slightly yellow tip). A yellow flame indicates not enough air. If flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner, there is too much air. Some yellow tips on flames when the burner is set to HI setting are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
Check that burners are not blocked by dirt, debris, insect nests etc. and clean as necessary.

Using too much oil can cause grey ash to deposit on food. Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking to
reduce flare-ups. Make vertical cuts at 2” (5 cm) intervals around the fat edge of
meat to avoid curling. Add seasoning or salt only after the cooking is finished.
During Grilling

5. Push in and turn the burner knob to HIGH. The burner will light immediately. When the burner is lit, turn knob to desired setting.

Turn foods only once. Juices are lost when meat is turned several times.
Turn meat just when juices begin to appear on the surface
Avoid puncturing or cutting the meats to test doneness. This allows juices to escape.
It may be necessary to lower the heat setting for foods that cook a long time or are marinated or basted in a sugar sauce.
If using a high flame, add barbecue sauce only during the last 10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning the sauce.
The degree of doneness is influenced by the type of meat, cut of meat (size, shape and thickness, heat setting selected, and length of time on the grill.
Cooking time will be longer with an open grill cover.

6. Remove match and replace manual lighting extension. IMPORTANT:
If burner does not light immediately, turn the burner knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
If any burners do not light after attempting to light them manually, contact customer service. See the “Assistance” section.

Cooking Methods
Direct Heat
Cooking by direct heat means the food is placed on grill grates directly above lighted burners. Hood position can be up or down. If hood is in the “up” position, total cooking times may be longer.

TIPS FOR OUTDOOR GRILLING

Direct heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural juices in food by cooking with the intense heat for a short period of time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a flavorful grilled coating.

Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Indirect Heat
For best results, do not select the indirect heat cooking method when it is windy.

Before Grilling
Thaw food items before grilling. Preheat grill on HIGH (use all grill burners) 10 minutes. The
hood must be closed during preheating. Preheating provides the high heat needed to brown and seal the juices. Shorten the preheat time when grilling high-fat cuts of meat or poultry, such as chicken thighs. This will help reduce flare-ups. Lightly oil the grill grates or the food when cooking low- fat cuts of meat, fish or poultry, such as lean hamburger patties, shrimp or skinless chicken breasts.

Cooking by indirect heat means the food is placed on the grill grate above an unheated burner, allowing heat from lighted burner(s) on either side to cook the food. If possible, turn on 2 burners. Cook with the hood down. This will shorten the cooking time.

OUTDOOR GRILL CARE

General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the grill is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks. To avoid scratching the surface, do not use steel wool to clean the grill. To avoid damage from the weather, use a vinyl grill cover, available from your local dealer.
STAINLESS STEEL
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the stainless steel surface, do not use soap- filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, cooktop polishing creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths, paper towels or cleaners that contain chlorine. Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire grill is cool. Spills may cause permanent discoloration.
Cleaning Method: Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the
surface. Stainless Steel Cleaner. Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth. Glass cleaner to remove fingerprints.
PORCELAIN COATED PARTS
To avoid chipping, do not bang porcelain covered parts with solid objects or drop them. Cleaning Method: Non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive
cleanser.
GRILL GRATES
IMPORTANT: Do not use a steel or fiber scraper on grill grates. Immediately after you are finished cooking, loosen food soil with a brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to HI for 10-15 minutes with the hood closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise the hood and let grates cool. Use the brass bristle brush to remove ash from the grill grates. When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough cleaning. Clean them with a mild detergent and warm water. For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 mL) ammonia to 1 gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse with water and dry completely.

WARMING SHELF
Cleaning Method: Liquid detergent or an all-purpose cleaner. Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth. For tough spots or baked-on grease, use a commercial
degreaser designed for stainless steel.
EXTERIOR
IMPORTANT: Make sure gas supply is off and all control knobs are in the OFF position. Make sure the side burner is cool. The quality of this material resists most stains and pitting, providing that the surface is keep clean, covered, and polished. Apply stainless steel polish to all brushed stainless steel non-
cooking surfaces before first use. Re-apply after each cleaning to avoid permanent damage to surface. For tough spots or baked-on grease, use a commercial degreaser designed for stainless steel. Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with clean warm water. Wipe the surface completely dry with a soft cloth. Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner for all powder coated surfaces.
INTERIOR
Discoloration of stainless steel on these parts is to be expected, due to intense heat from the burners. Always rub in the direction of the grain. Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with clean, warm water. Cleaning Method: Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner or for small,
difficult-to-clean areas, use a commercial degreaser designed for stainless steel. A heavy-duty scrub sponge can be used with mild cleaning products. Rinse with clean water and dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth.

14

SIDE BURNER CAPS AND GRATE
Cleaning Method: Clean with a brass bristle brush. Wash grate using mild detergent, warm water and degreaser. Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth. Stainless steel cleaner.
BURNERS
Cleaning Method: Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear any clogged burner ports with a straightened paper clip.
Do not use a toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
Check and clean burner/venturi tubes.
DRIP PAN
