The grill hood must be fully opened when lighting.
Always adhere to the required clearances from combustibles as detailed. The grill is designed for
outdoor use only. Never operate in a garage, building, shed, breeze way or other enclosed area.
Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dispose
of it. The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on regular basis.
Never grill without the drip pan in place. The drip pan must be pushed all the way to the back of
the grill. Without the drip pan in place, hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire
explosion hazard.
Store your grill in a well-ventilated area. Remove the LP cylinder, if so equipped, and store it outdoors
in a well-ventilated area away from heat and away from where children may tamper with it.
Cooking excessively fatty meats and other such products will cause flare-ups. Internal fires or
damage caused by flare-ups or the grill being left unattended while cooking, are not the
responsibility of AMERICAN HEATING TECHNOLOGIES INC. and any resulting damage is not covered
Never use charcoal in the grill. Never operate the grill in a windy area, if windy conditions exist, install
a suitable windbreak.
All service on this grill should be performed by a qualified technician.
Insure that the gas supply hose is free of kinks and at least 3” away from hot surfaces.
Whenever the grill burners have been removed, follow the installation instructions.
Avoid wearing long sleeves or loose-fitting garments while using the grill. Never touch the grill racks,
hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands as these areas become
extremely hot during use and could cause burns. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and
operating the grill. Open grill lid slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
Never lean over hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when attempting to light.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This will change combustion airflow or trap
excessive heat in the control area. This can result in melted knobs and melted igniters.
Never store additional or empty propane cylinders in the grill cabinet or around the grill. Do not
store propane cylinders indoors or on their sides.
NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
WHEN IN USE, PORTIONS OF THE GRILL ARE HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.

If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs with hood
open and wait (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
A) Create a soapy solution of half water and half dishwashing detergent.
B) Make sure that all control knobs are in the off position.
C) Turn on fuel supply. Turn cylinder valve knob counter clockwise (right to left) one rotation.
D) Apply soap solution generously by paint brush or squirt bottle on all connections and fittings.
E) If you see any “growing” bubbles on any of the connection points, you have detected a
gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas from the main gas source.
H) Check the hose for signs of cracks, abrasion, damage and leaks.
F) A leak may be stopped by tightening the loose joint, or by replacing the faulty part with a
replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.
G) Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it should become damaged,THE CYLINDER MUST
BE REPLACED.
DANGER: TO PREVENT EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD:
DO NOT use or permit sources of ignition including smoking in the area while doing a leak test
Perform leak tests outdoors only. Never use flame or fire to do a leak test.
NOTE: NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT LEAK TESTING

LOCATING THE GRILL
LOCATION:
Select a suitable location for your grill by avoiding traffic paths and exposure to wind. Keep all
gas supply lines as short as possible. Do not locate the grill in a shed, the garage of a building,
storage, or other enclosed areas. To assure the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side, use a
"spirit level". If the unit is not level the burner combustion may be erratic and the unit may not
function efficiently. If the floor is uneven or there is a slope, you may need to re-level the unit
after each moving of the unit.
FOR BUILT -IN INSTALLATIONS:
The ALLEGRA Built-In model is designed for installation in a masonry or a non combustible enclosure.
The grill drops into the opening, and hangs from its counter top trim. There is no support required
from the bottom. Pay attention to the provisions for gas line hook-up. The enclosure must have
ventilation holes to prevent gas build-up in case of a leak. The counter top should be level and
flat. Electrical service should be provided for the units equipped with rotisserie.
- To a non-combustible construction a minimum of 5” clearance should be kept from back of
the grill. Do not locate the grill at a spot where It will be difficult to clean the exhaust and grease
from the grill.
- To a combustible construction you must keep a minimum of 16” clearance from back of the grill.
A 16” minimum clearance must also be maintained above and below the cooking surface and
in any combustible construction.
Do not build your ALLEGRA gas grill directly below unprotected overhead combustible construction.
CLEARANCE:
WARNING: Installing this product into a combustible enclosure could
result in fire, property damage and personal injury.

GAS CONNECTION
The ALLEGRA gas grill is equipped to use (LP) propane Or (NG) natural gas. Your grill is designated a
gas type and the rating plate must agree with that of the gas supply. Do not operate the grill
on any gas other than what the grill is regulated and orificed for.
Also a conversion kit is required to convert the grill from (LP) propane
to (NG) natural gas or (NG) natural gas to (LP) propane..
The regulator with hose Type 1or Q. C. connection has the following safety
features:
- The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas between
115 and 150 C ( 240 and 300 F).
- The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made.
- The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will restrict the flow
of the gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
- The CYLINDER CONTROL VALVE MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE ANY CONNECTION
IS MADE OR REMOVED.
NEVER CONNECT
AN UNREGULATED
GAS LINE TO THE GRILL
- The LP gas grill comes equipped with a (Type 1 or QCC1 regulator) high capacity LP Regulator hose
assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder. .

L.P. Cylinder (tank) requirements:
The LP Tank / gas cylinder for your grill is not provided from by our factory. Therefore, make sure that
only D.O.T. approved 20 Lb., or CAN/CGA-B339 approved L.P. gas tanks are used with the grill. All
approved Cylinders must have an integral collar designed to provide protection around the
cylinder valve and prevent damage. Do not use a damaged gas cylinder. Do not attempt to
repair a damaged tank at anytime. A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be
checked by your L.P. supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always
check for leaks after every L.P. tank change.
Gas Connection (continued)
Additional tips for safety:
If the assembly needs to be replaced, use a unit specified by ALLEGRA Grills only. Then:
1. Remove the panel in the back of the BBQ to reach the regulator and gas connection area.
2. Route the female end of the hose through the cart
3. Fasten the hose connection to 1/2" x 3/8" flare fitting connected to the Grill Regulator
When connecting the L.P. gas tank, make sure the hose does not come in contact with the grill
or a hot surface. For the use with an L.P. tank / cylinder, the ALLEGRA grill is equipped with its
own regulator. DO NOT REMOVE THIS REGULATOR.
A proper regulator should always be used with any gas operation. Check with the local Gas
Codes for proper installation. You must use a regulator approved by A.H. T. for any application.
L.P. Gas Connection:
NEVER CONNECT THE GRILL TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY
Manifold pressure: (operating) 10.5" W.C.
The L.P. gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for
the L.P. gas cylinder of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a
QCC or type 1 system. The gas cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in an L.P.
gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard
for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-l.
- Extra or spare gas tanks must be stored at least 15 feet from the grill or any open flame, or
other types of heat producing device or source.
- Gas tanks are equipped with a pressure relief valve. In case a tank is exposed to excessive heat,
the relief valve lets the highly flammable gas vapor or liquid escape. That is why you should never
store the gast tank near heat or a flame.
- Store the gast tank in a well ventilated area.
- Do not fill your gas cylinder beyond 3/4 full.

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
As all of American Heating Technologies Inc. products, the grills have also been tested in the factory
before shipping. However, due to different gas pressures and heating values of different gas
suppliers, burner flame adjustments might be necessary, especially when converting a unit from
one type of gas to another. This adjustment could be made by reducing or enlarging the air inlets
at the tip of the burners. Please see diagram (A). The goal of adjusting burner flames is to get a
stable blue fire with no yellow tips and no lifting.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
LOW setting adjustment:
LIFTING:
YELLOW TIPS:
When the amount of air going into the
burner is not enough, or burner ports
are blocked by debris and other particles,
causing the tips of the flame to look yellow
A gap between the burner and the flame
as if the flame is not connected to that
burner
Too much air going through the burner is causing
this. Turn the air shutter dial to reduce air inlet holes
while observing burner flames for changes.
Turn air shutter dial to open air inlet and allow more
air. Make sure all burner ports are clear of dust and
other debris and particles.
Adjust the burner "Low" setting by using a long stemmed flat-head screwdriver, inserting the screwdriver
into the right side of the burner control valve body, which is accessable from the front panel opening,
adjust screw producing a stable flame when the Burner Control Valve is set on "low." This applies to all

BURNER MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Your ALLEGRA grill is made of stainless steel. After some initial usage, you will notice in some areas
of the grill. It is a normal process caused by the high amount of heat produced by the burners.
There are many different stainless cleaners available in the market, but be sure to use a mild cleaning
product first, always scrubbing in the direction of the grain.
If there are noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, use a dry 100 grit emery paper to sand the area.
Sometimes, greasy specks collecting on the surface can look like rust.
To remove these specks, use an abrasive pad together with a stainless steel cleaner.
Remember to rub in the direction of the grain.
NOTE: The best way to maintain stainless steel is to wipe it down with a damp cloth. Excessive
moisture causes a rust-like discoloration and may eventually require replacement. Never use steel
"Brillo" pads or similar products as these will leave traces of material behind. This material will quickly
rust. This rust is not a defect in the grill.
ATTENTION
Before removing burners, gas supply must be shut off and the knobs turned to "OFF". Allow
the grill to completely cool down.
GRILL BURNERS:
BURNER CLEANING:
ORIFICE CLEANING:
To begin, remove grill racks and radiant trays.
This way the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front.
Be careful not to block or upset the air shutter position.
Use a wire brush to clean the exterior of the burner. To clear stubborn scale, use a metal scraper.
Clean any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Do not use a wooden toothpick as it may
break off and clog the port. Use a flashlight to check the burner inlet for possible blockage. Shake
out any debris through the air shutter. If you see any obstructions, use a metal wire coat hanger
that has been straightened out.
After the burner has been removed, remove the orifice and hold a flashlight through the opening
to check for possible blockage. Use a needle to clean any debris. use extreme caution so you
do not enlarge the hole or break off the needle.

BURNER MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
ATTENTION
SPIDERS & INSECTS:
REASSEMBLE THE BURNERS:
If the burners are not centered firmly and correctly, a dangerous condition may
occur that can cause personal injury and damage to your gas grill.
Sometimes spiders and insects may crawl inside burners and nest there. In this case, the gas
will flow from the front of the burner. It can create a dangerous situation and start a fire behind the
valve panel. This can damage the grill and make the operation of it unsafe..
When replacing the burner, align the orifice with the center hole on the air shutter . Slide the
air shutter onto the orifice and rest the rear of the burner on the support rack at the back of the
the burner box. Make sure the burner is resting firmly and does not rock then re-insert the pin.
Do not upset the original position of air during this procedure.

USING THE GRILL
Before Using The Grill:
- Make sure that the grill has been tested for leaks and properly located
- Remove all packaging material
- Read and understand the instructions provided in this manual
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most food are cooked when dial is
on "Hi" heat for the entire cooking time - lid staying open during this time. However, when grilling
large pieces of meat and poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after
the initial browning This allows your meat to cook throughout without burning the outside. Note that
food cooked for a long time or basted with sweet or sugar-based marinade may need a lower
heat setting near the end of the cooking period.
This type of cooking is referred to the process of placing the food on one side of the grill. The
burner below the food must be on "OFF" and the adjacent grill burner should be placed on "HI".
Place a drip pan on top of the burner that is switched off and not in use. This way the pan prevents
any dripping from clogging up the unused burner. Then:
- Check to be sure that the drip tray is in place and does not contain debris
- Light the burner (see section labeled: Lighting Instructions )
- Turn the control button to "HI" and preheat the grill for 5 -15 minutes. During this preheat time, the
- top cover must be kept closed and opened during high heat grilling.
- Place your food on the grill and cook to your desired wellness. Adjust heat settings when required.
- The control button may rest at any position between "HI" and "LO".
- The drip tray must be cleaned after each use. To do this, always allow the grill to cool first.
Using The Grill:
Indirect Cooking
Hood must be open when lighting
grill burners. While grilling with control
knob should be set in the range
between "MED" and "HI".
Hood may be closed when all
control knobs are set below "MED"
or when the grill is not in use
WARNING
Hood Position
The burner system generates an intense
amount of heat that must be controlled
while cooking with a CLOSED HOOD. The
Heat Setting button must be kept on "MED"
indicating the highest safe setting when
cooking with a closed hood (see figure
below).

How To Avoid Flare-Ups
With attention and care the risk of flare ups can be
reduced and avoided by:
- Properly pre-heating the grill
- Cleaning the grill on regular basis to avoid grease
built-up
- installing the grill grids properly.
- Trimming excess fat from meat
- Repositioning the location of meat during cooking
ATTENTION
USING THE ROTISSERIE
Skewer (Spit) Rod:
Since the location of the rotis burner is more susceptible to strong winds, it is recommended to
avoid using rotis during windy conditions.
In assembling the skewer for the rotis into the motor assembly, it is required that the pointed end
is placed into the motor allowing its threaded end to rest on the support at the opposite side of
the grill. By now, the skewer should be pushed into the motor and the unit resting on the bracket.
Remove the warming rack, the grill racks, and the briquette trays, if necessary. The skewer may
flex when cooking large foods which is quite normal. Place a basting pan under the food for
basting and easier cleaning after use. Never operate a Grill Burner with a basting pan in place.
The rotis motor is capable of turning meat and poultry weighing up to 26 lbs.
Loading the Skewer: begin with the handle in place and slide one of the meat holders onto
the skewer. Make sure prongs are facing away from the handle. Push the skewer through the
center of the food, then slide the second meat holder onto the skewer - prongs towards the food.
Make sure the food item is centered on the skewer. Then, push the meat holders firmly together to
hold the food. Make sure the wing nuts are tightened (use of pliers may be necessary). In addition,
you may need to wrap the food with butchers string to secure any loose portions of the food.
Never use nylon or plastic strings. After securing the food, insert the skewer into the motor.

of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CGA 1.6b2005.
- Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance.
-The ALLEGRA gas grill is equipped with a three prong (grounding) electric plug for your protection
against shock hazard and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong outlet.
NEVER cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
-Use only extension cords with a 3 prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the equipment, and
approved for outdoor use with a “W-A” marking.
- To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of the power cord, an extension cord or
any plugs in water or other liquid.
- Always unplug the product from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
-Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
-Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.
-Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
CONNECTION TO AC
Installation requires an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) electrical outlet adjacent
to the grill.
The GFI outlet features an internal breaker that reduces shock hazard. This type of outlet should be
installed by a qualified electrician either inside the island enclosure for built-in units, or near the
location where a free-standing unit will be used.
For built-in ALLEGRA grills, the supplied 12V transformer is connected to the grill during installation.
When installing the transformer to the grill be careful to prevent the wiring and transformer from
contacting any hot surfaces behind or below the grill. It is recommended that the transformer be
located below the grill in a readily accessible location.
Be sure to provide adequate access to facilitate service if the transformer or connections should need
future maintenance.
If the electrical system fails to operate, a connection may have come loose in shipping or the GFI may
have tripped, requiring a reset. Contact an authorized technician or an licensed electrician to inspect
the unit.
