9. If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod (included with grill)
to light burners. Access the burners through the cooking grid and heat plates. Position lit match
near side of burner (Figure 4).
Important: Always use the lighting rod (included) when lighting burners with a match.
10. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height
matches illustration (Figure 5).
Note: For right burner, turn control knob to (HIGH).
Tank/Gas Line Connection

parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are in the “ OFF” position (Figure 2).
3. Connect LP gas tank per “Installing LP Gas Tank” section.
4. Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN.”
5. Spoon several drops of solution, or use a squirt bottle, at all “X” locations (Figures 1 and 3).
a. If any bubbles appear, turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED,” reconnect and re-test.
b. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED” and
disconnect LP gas tank, per “Disconnecting LP Gas Tank” section.
c. If no bubbles appear after one minute, turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED,” wipe away solution

Operating Instructions (Continued)
Cleaning and Care
.
When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should
be readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease
fire, use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or
smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT
attempt to extinguish with water.
WARNING
Before Each Use:
1. Keep the grill area clean and free from any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Do NOT obstruct the flow of the combustion of LP gas and the ventilation of air.
3. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas tank area free and clear from debris.
4. Visually check the burner flames to make sure your grill is working properly (Figure 6).
5. See below for proper cleaning instructions.
6. Check for obstructions of airflow to the burners. Spiders, insects and webs can clog the burner/venturi tube. A clogged burner tube can
lead to a fire.
WCAUTION:
1. All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the fuel supply disconnected.
2. Do NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
3. Do NOT enlarge valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners.
WCAUTION: Unplug rotisserie motor from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
Notices
1. This grill should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected on a regular basis.
2. Abrasive cleaners will damage this product.

CAUTION
Turning Off
1. Turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED.”
2. Turn all control knobs clockwise to the “ OFF” position.
Note: A “poof” sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.
3. Disconnect LP gas tank per “Disconnecting LP Gas Tank” section.
Controlling Flare-ups
1. If a grease fire develops, turn control knobs
to the “ OFF” position and LP gas tank valve
“CLOSED.” Do NOT use water on a grease fire.
This can cause the grease to splatter and could
result in serious burns, bodily harm or other
damage.
2. Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating
or burning off food residue on (HIGH). If grill
has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur.
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling.
Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and be dangerous.
Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If a grease fire occurs, close the lid AND turn the control knob(s) to “ OFF” until the grease burns out. Be careful when opening the lid as
sudden flare-ups may occur.
If excessive flare-ups occur, do NOT pour water onto the flames.
Minimize Flare-ups:
1. Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
2. Cook high fat content meats on (LOW) setting or indirectly.
3. Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into grease receptacle.
