1. Do not attempt to light appliance.
2. Extinguish any open fl ame.
3. Disconnect from fuel supply.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
• This appliance can produce carbon monoxide, which has no odor. Using it in an enclosed space can kill you.
• Never use this appliance indoors or on boats.
D A N G E R
!
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from fi re or explosion:
• Use only propane gas with this LP gas grill.
• Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas.
• Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid breathing toxic fumes from combus-
tion or leaking gas. As with all conventional fuels, the burning process consumes oxygen and produces toxic gases, in-
cluding carbon monoxide. In addition, the combustion products of such fuels, including liquefi ed petroleum (LP), contain
chemicals known to the state of California and other authorities to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive
harm.
• Never connect or disconnect the LP Gas supply or fi ttings while grill is in use or is hot.
• Do not store a spare LP Gas Cylinder under or near the LP gas grill.
• When grill is not in use, turn off all grill Control Knobs and disconnect from the LP Gas supply.
• Never fold or transport grill while attached to the LP Gas supply.
• Never use charcoal, wood chips or other combustibles in grill.
WA R N I N G
!
Using Gas
Connecting to the LP Gas Supply
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from fi re or explosion:
• Never attach the grill to an unregulated LP dispensing system.
• Install grill on the opposite side of the recreational vehicle from the LP distribution/dispensing system.
• Installation shall preclude the possibility of appliance operation or gas fl ow while the appliance is in its storage
(travel) position.
• The grill shall be connected to the vehicle’s LP system with a fl exible hose connector complying with the high pres-
sure requirements of the Standard for Pigtails and Hose Connections for LP-Gas, ANSI/UL 569, and shall be of a
length no longer than that required to allow the grill to be mounted in the “in use” position of its mounting system.
This hose is not included with this grill.
• The hose shall be installed in a manner that will not allow it to come in contact with the hot surface of the grill while
in use or in the storage/travel mode.

Check the Flame
To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from an explosion or a fi re:
• Regularly inspect and clean Burner/Venturi Tube for insects or insect nests, especially after periods of storage. Spiders or
small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the grill’s Venturi Tube, obstructing the fl ow of gas to the Burner. (Fig. 6)
The backed-up gas can ignite and cause a fi re. This is known as a “fl ashback.”
• Be sure Burner is re-installed properly before using grill.

The Burner has been preset by the manufacturer for optimal fl ame performance. A blue fl ame, possibly with a small yellow
tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. (Fig. 5)
Check the fl ame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Check the fl ame, especially after long
periods of storing the grill. Note that the minimum fl ame height should be 1/4”. If the fl ame is signifi cantly yellow in color, the
appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked Burner from grease
drippings or from insects building a nest inside the Burner or Burner opening. Should you notice that your Burner is getting
hard to light or the fl ame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the “How to Clean your Burner” section to remove possible
obstructions.

Cooking On the Gas Grill
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from fi re, explosion or burn hazard:
• Never use charcoal or lighter fl uid in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
• Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstructions to the fl ow of combustion and ventilation air before each use.
• Always open the Hood before lighting the LP gas grill.
• Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fi re with water or other liquids. Have a BC or ABC fi re extinguisher readily ac-
cessible. Never douse or spray the grill or cooking surfaces with water when hot. Burns from grease or water splat-
ters could occur.
• If your gas grill catches on fi re:
- If the fi re is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the Control Knob, then turn it to the “Off ” position.
- If the fi re involves the LP Gas Supply, leave it alone, evacuate the area, and call the Fire Department.
- If there is any type of fi re that threatens either personal safety or endangers property, call the Fire Depart-
ment.
• Do not use the grill without Drip Tray in place. Check the Drip Tray for build-up. Empty excess grease before each
use to reduce the risk of a grease fi re in the Drip Tray.
• Do not place containers of oil or grease on or near the grill.
• Do not operate a gas grill if you have knowledge of or suspect a gas leak.
• Do not leave grill unattended.
• Do not wear loose clothing (hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in use or hot.
• Do not lean your body over the gas grill when lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since the
grill will become very hot. Open the Hood carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped
inside.
• Do not allow children to operate or play near a gas grill. Keep children, animals and bystanders out of the grill area.
• Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
• When grill is not in use, turn off grill Control Knob, and disconnect from the LP Supply.
• Do not cover more than half (50%) of the cooking area if using griddle plates. Full coverage of cooking area will
cause overheating below the plates.
• Do not leave any utensils or cookware on a hot cooking surface.
To reduce risk of burn injury from fl ame rollout or hot air/steam trapped inside grill, open Hood carefully.
WA R N I N G

Grill Cooking (Direct Method)
Direct Cooking on the Grids:
Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The Burner heats up the Flavor Activator under the Cooking Grid, which in turn
heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flavor Activator below and vaporize. Rising
smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued fl avor.
Use the Direct Cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and
more. These foods should be turned once halfway through the grilling time.
To sear meats, place them over Direct High heat for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time.
Hamburgers, steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefi t from searing. Usually after searing you fi n-
ish cooking the food at a lower temperature.
For Direct Cooking, preheat the grill for 10 minutes with the Burner on “High.” Place food on the Cooking Grid, and then
adjust the Burner to the temperature required. Close the Hood and lift it only to turn food or to test for doneness at the end
of the recommended cooking time.

19
End of Cooking Session
To reduce risk of serious injury or death from fi re or burn hazard:
• Allow grill and grease in the Drip Tray to completely cool before emptying, cleaning, moving, or storing grill.
• Empty the Drip Tray after each cooking session so grease does not accumulate.
WA R N I N G
!
1. After each cooking session, close the Hood and turn the Burner to the “High” position and burn for fi ve minutes. This will
burn off some cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.
2. When you have fi nished using your grill, turn the Control Knob clockwise to the “Off ” position.
3. Disconnect the grill from the LP gas supply and cap all fi tting openings.
4. Wait until the grill is cool to the touch before closing the Hood, cleaning, or storing for transport.
5. Clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and extend the
life of your grill, the unit should be covered when stored outside.
Warming Rack
The Warming Rack is a convenient way to cook food more slowly and further from the heat or to warm items such as bread
or rolls. When opening the Hood, be alert for dripping fat from the Warming Rack that could drip onto the back of the grill.
Always check that your Warming Rack is properly fi tted before use. Using heat resistant gloves, carefully wipe away any
dripping grease.
D A N G E R
!
• Do not put grill in storage or travel mode immediately after use.
• Allow grill to cool to touch before moving or storing.
• Do not move RV with Grill or Hanger Bracket attached to RV.

Controlling Flare-ups:
Flare-ups are part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique fl avor of barbequed food. However, excessive fl are-
ups can overcook your food and create a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive fl are-ups may result from
large amounts of fat on the food being cooked or the build up of grease in the grill. If excessive fl are-ups occur, DO NOT
pour water on the fl ames. This can cause grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. If a grease fi re
occurs, turn off the burner until the grease burns out. To prevent or minimize fl are-ups, trim all excess fat or skin from meats
before grilling and keep the grill and drip tray cleaned of excess grease.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Grill
Drip Tray:
Remove the Drip Tray under the grill bowl after the grill has cooled completely. Scrape away food and fat residue from the
Drip Tray. Empty and wash the Drip Tray with hot soapy water and a cloth.
Grill Body:
Remove excess grease and/or fat with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners
that can scratch painted, porcelain-coated or stainless steel surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from
the body. When grill is cool, wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth. On painted grills, if rust appears, clean and
buff the aff ected area with steel wool. Touch up bare metal with a high heat paint specifi ed for barbeque grills. Follow paint
manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Cooking Grid/Warming Rack/Flavor Activator:
Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder. Do
not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the plated, porcelain-coated or stainless steel surfaces. This
can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.
All Other Cleaning:
For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not immerse the Gas Controls in water.
(Avoid getting water in the Burner holes.)
Burner:
Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the Burner clean with normal usage, provided the Burner is operating cor-
rectly. Clean the Burner annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris,
insects) in the Burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the Burner. See How to Clean the Burner.
CAUTION
!
To reduce risk of laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling parts with sharp edges.
How to Clean the Burners
1. Make sure the Control Knob is turned “Off ”, the grill is completely cooled and is disconnected from the gas supply.
2. Carefully remove Cooking Grid and Flavor Activator.
3. To remove the Burner, fi rst remove the Bolts that fasten the Burner to its support bracket (fi gs. 7).
