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.

TIPS FOR OUTDOOR GRILLING
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.
■Using too much oil can cause gray 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
■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 sugary
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.
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.
Direct heat sears the food. Searing is a process that seals natural
juices in food by cooking with intense heat for a short period of
time. While juices stay inside, the outside is browned with a
flavorful grilled coating.
Indirect Heat
For best results, do not select the indirect heat cooking method
when it is windy.
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
Replacing the Igniter Battery
If igniters stop sparking, the battery should be replaced.
1. Unscrew igniter button cap counterclockwise to remove.
2. Remove battery from the battery compartment.
3. Replace with a new alkaline “AA” size battery. Install battery
with negative end in first.
4. Screw igniter button cap clockwise into place.
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:
■Nonabrasive 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 kept clean, covered, and polished.
■Apply stainless steel polish to all brushed stainless steel non-
cooking before first use. Reapply 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.

clip. Do not use a toothpick as it may break off and clog the
port.
■Check and clean burner/venturi tubes.
DRIP PAN
IMPORTANT: The drip pan should be removed only when grill is
completely cool.
The drip pan collects grease that runs out through the grill. Clean
often to avoid grease buildup.
Cleaning Method:
■Remove drip pan. Wipe excess grease with paper towels.
■Clean with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
KNOBS AND FLANGE AREA AROUND KNOBS
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the knobs and flange area, do
not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or oven cleaner.
To avoid damage, do not soak knobs.
Cleaning Method:
■Mild detergent, a soft cloth and warm water.
■Rinse and dry.
CONTROL PANEL GRAPHICS
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the control panel graphics, do
not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners or oven cleaner.
To avoid damage, do not spray cleaner directly onto panel.
Cleaning Method:

printing.
■Clean with mild detergent, soft cloth and warm water.
■Rinse and dry.
