LP Gas and Cylinder Informaon
Your new gas grill operates on LP (Liquid Petroleum) Gas. It is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic when
produced. You can smell LP gas as it has been given an odor similar to roen cabbage for your safety.
Your grill uses the newest and safest LP Gas Cylinder.
1. O.P.D. (Overll Protecon Device) – prevents accidental gas leaks
caused by overlling of the tank. Each tank contains a oat that
closes the input valve when the tank is 80% full. This allows room
for the LP gas to expand in hot temperatures. A triangular hand wheel
disnguishes this type of tank.
2. O.C.C.1 Type 1 Quick Connect Valve – provides fast tank hook-ups and
requires only to be ghtened by hand.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
1. The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
2. Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance.

products, or mineral spirits.
3. Do not use any type of steel bristled brush.
4. Clean your grill regularly to prohibit grease build-ups and avoid a grease re or
excessive are-ups.
5. Always allow the grill to cool down prior to cleaning.
WARNING:
Small insects, such as spiders, are able to access the burner tubes. Somemes they will
build nests or spin webs. In either case, this can block or reduce the amount of gas owing
through the burner. You will usually see a smaller ame, or a ame that is mostly yellow
rather than blue, coming from the burner when this happens. Other signs include the grill
not heang evenly, not reaching temperature, or burners not igning. In cases with severe
blockage, this can cause the ame to burn backwards, and outside of the burner tubes,
which can cause damage to your grill and/or personal injury. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE
FLOW OF LP GAS AT THE CYLINDER BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL CLOCKWISE SHOULD
THIS HAPPEN. Wait for the grill to cool, and then clean all burners.
General Informaon and Instrucons
CLEANING YOUR GRILL
STAINLESS STEEL
Clean with mulpurpose, low abrasive, non-phosphorous metal or stainless steel polish and a so
cloth. Always polish in the direcon of the lines. Do not allow grease and dirt to accumulate. In
addion, the following products and naturally occurring substances in the outdoors will damage
all stainless steel nishes. Use cauon so that they do not come in contact with your Gas Grill.
Immediately wash them o and dry the stainless steel should they ever come in contact with your Gas
Grill. This includes, but is not limited to, Pool Chemicals (chlorine and bromine), Lawn Ferlizer, Ice
Melng Salts, Sea or Salt Water, Urine, Bird Droppings, and Tree Sap.
OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water. A cloth, so brush, or plasc cleaning pad can be used.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
COOKING GRATES AND HEAT DIFFUSERS
Use a s brass brush. Wash with warm water and mild dish soap as needed, rinse, and dry.
GREASE PAN AND TRAY
Check aer each use. Remove and empty the Tray when half full. Remove and clean the Pan as grease
builds up. Both can be washed with warm water and mild dish soap.
BURNERS
We recommend you clean your burners at least twice a year, or before use if the grill has not been
used in over one month.

12
CLEANING THE BURNERS
1. Ensure the LP gas is turned o at the LP cylinder.
2. Remove the cooking grates, ame tamer, and grease tray.
3. Remove the coer pins located underneath the back end of each burner.
4. Li each burner up and out.
5. Clean the inside of the burner using a s wire. A straightened coat hanger is one suggested tool. An
alternave way to clean the inside of the burner is using compressed air. Always wear eye protecon if
using this method. Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
6. Brush the outer surface of the burner.
7. Ensure all ports (holes) are free of all debris
8. Inspect the burner. Replace if any cracks or enlarged holes.
9. Reinstall the burners making sure the burners seat over the valves as shown in the gure to the right.
10. Secure the back of the burners to the rebox with the coer pins.
11. Replace the grease tray, ame tamer, and cooking grates.
12. Perform a Leak Test described earlier in this guide.
BURNER FLAMES
Always inspect the burner ame aer lighng. A good ame should be primarily blue with a yellow
p and have a minimal amount of noise. Some yellow ps are OK if under one inch. New burners
somemes have oil residue, which will cause yellow ame when burning o. Variaons in gas supply,
altude, weather, and other factors can all impact burner performance. Older grills can also show
more yellow ame as food deposits, oils, and fats can build up.
ALWAYS
1. Keep the grilling area clear and free from combusble materials, gasoline and other ammable
vapors and liquids.
2. Do not obstruct the ow of combuson and venlaon air.
3. Keep the venlaon openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
GRILL STORAGE
1. Clean your grill before storage.
2. Storage of a gas grill indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed
from the gas grill.
3. Cover the grill.
4. Perform a Leak Test before use aer storage.
WARNING:
Properly locang the burner with respect to the orice is vital for safety.

Grilling with Your New Grill
GRILLING WITH YOUR NEW GRILL
Welcome to the world of grilling. Whether you’re already an established griller, or just starng
out, your new grill should bring you much enjoyment and sasfacon, to say nothing of some
phenomenal meals. We encourage you to experiment to nd your own favorite recipes.
The control panel is labeled “HI/LIGHT”, “LOW”, and “OFF” for each burner control knob. Simply
push in on the temperature control knobs and turn to the desired heat seng. A thermometer
is placed in the hood so that you can see the cooking temperature inside the grill.
The heat diusers are designed to help evenly distribute heat throughout the grill. They are also
designed to catch and smoke the right amount of drippings, adding more avors to your meal.
DIRECT VS. INDIRECT COOKING
Food cooked on the grill is either done using direct or indirect cooking. Direct cooking is when
the food is cooked directly over the heat. Food is placed in-between the burners for indirect
cooking.
DIRECT – used for preheang and searing.
Use direct cooking to sear meats. This helps to keep food moist by locking in juices. Some food,
such as steak, is rst seared using Direct cooking, and then nished cooking using the Indirect
method. This is generally used for quicker cooking foods. Preheat the grill to 500°F (260°C). You
can shut o one or more burners if you do not need to use the enre grilling surface once you
reach over 500°F (260°C). You can also use a medium high heat of 400°F or more by turning
the burners down slightly. Place the food directly over the heat source. Remain vigilant when
grilling using this method, as it’s easy to overcook.
INDIRECT – how most food is cooked on a gas grill
Indirect cooking is used for foods that take longer to cook, including large cuts of meat such
as roasts. It’s also used for cooking more delicate food that can dry out quickly such as sh
and poultry, for faer foods to reduce are-ups, and when grilling using a roasng pan or
aluminum foil. Preheat the grill to 500°F (260°C). Then turn some burners o, and others to
medium to low depending on the temperature you want to maintain.
Generally, turn the center burner o for a 3-burner model and the 2 inside burners o on a
4-burner model.
Grills with more than 4 burners will vary depending on what you are cooking. Generally, you
want to keep the temperature around 350°F. Do not place the food directly over any burners
when using this grilling method.

Grilling with Your New Grill
GRILLING TIPS AND TRICKS
1. Always “Preheat” your grill before cooking. Light all main burners, turn to “HI”, and close the
lid unl the thermometer reads over 500°F (260°C), which should be 4 minutes. Then adjust the
burner control knobs to the proper temperature. Note that no preheang is necessary for the
side burner.
2. The thermometer measures the temperature at the top of the lid. The temperature down by
the cooking grates is generally somewhat warmer.
3. Mother Nature can impact your grilling mes. Allow more cooking me for cold, wind, and
higher altudes.
We recommend you place the grill in an area protected from much wind.
4. Trim away any excess fat from meat to reduce are-ups.
5. Keep similar size porons together so that they cook more evenly.
6. Generally speaking, the more food on the grill, the longer the cooking me.
7. Be aware when using the Direct cooking method, as food can easily become overcooked,
burned, or dry out. Food may require more turning, or somemes, may need to be moved o
the ame.
8. Larger pieces of meat generally require more cooking me per pound than smaller pieces of
meat.
9. If a major are-up, or too many are-ups occur, turn o the gas, move the food away from
the are-up, and close the hood. Restart the grill once the are-up has died down.
10. Turn foods infrequently. Generally, only turn a steak once during cooking.
11. Use tongs rather than a fork when turning the food on the grill. Less juice will be lost that
way.

Trouble Shoong Guide
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
BURNER WILL NOT LIGHT
1. Gas supply is turned o. Turn on gas at LP tank.
2. Out of propane. Check to be sure you sll have propane in your tank.
3. Regulator is not properly seated into the tank valve. Remove and reaach. Hand ghten only.
4. Crimped fuel supply hose. Inspect and straighten.
5. Regulator failure or damaged hose. Order replacement part and replace.
6. Make sure you can hear the electronic igniter clicking. If not, replace the baery with an “AA” size.
Inspect the electrode to be sure it’s not coated in grease or dirt. If so, clean with rubbing alcohol.
Check the distance from the electrode p to the burner. The p of the electrode should be 1/8” to
¼” from the main burner and 1/8” to 3/16” from the side burner. Adjust if necessary. Inspect the
electrodes to be sure they are not cracked or broken. If so, order replacement parts and replace.
7. Blockage in the gas system. Inspect the burners to be sure insects, spider webs, etc do not block
them.
Clean if necessary. Inspect under the control panel to be sure the burners are aligned properly with the
valves.
IRREGULAR FLAME OR YELLOW FLAME
1. New burner may have residual oil, which will burn o.
2. Tubes in burners are blocked. Remove and clean.
3. Burners have a high grease or dirt build-up. Remove and clean.
4. Burners are not aligned properly with the valves. Inspect under the control panel.
SUDDEN DROP IN GAS PRESSURE OR FLAMES BLOW OUT
1. Out of gas. Check to be sure you sll have propane in your tank.
2. Your excessive fuel ow valve has tripped, thereby reducing the ow of gas. Turn o all burners, wait
30 seconds, and relight grill. If problem persists, turn o all burners. Disconnect regulator from tank.
Wait 10 minutes. Reconnect regulator and leak test. Slowly turn on LP tank and relight grill. Other ways
the ow liming device can be acvated include
a. A ruptured gas hose. Inspect, perform a leak test, and replace as necessary.
b. Opening the control knobs before turning on the LP gas at the tank. Turn on the gas at
the LP tank rst before turning on a control knob to light.
c. Improper purging of tank before it was lled. See your LP gas dealer.
3. Wind could be blowing out your burners. Turn front of grill to face wind or move out of the wind.
EXCESSIVE FLARE-UPS
1. Flame tamer, inside of grill, grates, and burners need to be cleaned.
2. Grease tray needs to be cleaned and emped.
3. Using too high of heat to cook. Reduce control knob seng.
4. Direct cooking method will produce more are-ups than indirect. If using direct method, try using
indirect
FIRE BEHIND THE CONTROL PANEL
Immediately shut o LP tank valve and allow grill to cool.
1.) Check burners for obstrucons and clean.
2.) Inspect under the control panel to be sure the burners are aligned properly with the valves.
3.) Gas is leaking from a faulty connecon or damaged hose. Perform a leak test and inspect for leaks.
Tighten or replace parts as necessary.

Frequently Asked Quesons
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I convert my gas grill from one fuel source to another?
No. Your gas grill is manufactured to specic standards developed by CSA and ANSI for your
safety and grilling performance for either LP or Natural Gas. We do not oer conversion kits nor
do we recommend you change the fuel type.
How are your grills tested?
Our grills are tested and cered by CSA, a leading worldwide independent tesng center, to
meet or exceed various CSA and ANSI standards along with various performance standards.
The burners and gas line in each grill are also individually tested when each grill comes o the
assembly line just prior to packaging. Each burner is ignited for this test.
What is the humming noise I somemes here coming from my regulator?
The humming sound you can hear is just gas owing through the regulator. There is no need to
be concerned with a low volume of noise.
My grill has a low ame on some burners, or some burners will not light at all.
What can cause this?
This can be caused by the regulator’s ow liming device, which is generated by a sudden
change in pressure. Opening the tank valve too quickly can cause this. In this case, close the
LP tank valve and disconnect from the regulator. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Reconnect the
regulator to the LP tank.
Open the grill lid. Slowly open the LP tank valve. Follow the burner lighng procedures and light
the burner furthest from the LP tank. Connue to light the other burners as you move towards
the LP tank.
Can I use ceramic plates, briquees of any kind, or lava rocks?
No. Your grill is designed for use only with the heat diusers. Grease drips down on to the
diusers and is burned, creang steam and addional avor.
