Lighting Your Grill
DANGER
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not light, may
result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING
Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.
Lighting Main Burner
1. Open lid while lighting burners.
WARNING: Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make` sure there are no
obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at
the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Turn on gas source or cylinder valve.
4. Ignite only the burners you wish to use, using the same method for each: Push desired
burner valve knob and rotate slowly about 1/4 counterclockwise until a click is heard. (See
diagram to right.) The burner should light. If the burner does not light, return the valve knob
to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the
procedure. After burner is lit, repeat the procedure with any other burner desired.
5. Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
Using the Lighting Stick to Light the Main Burners
1. Insert a match into the end of lighting stick. Light the match.
2. Once lit, put the lighting stick through the hole on the grill body to reach the burner
ports (See diagram to right.)
3. Press the valve knob and rotate it counterclockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position. The burner
should light immediately. If more than one burner is desired, repeat the procedure 2-3
until all desired burners are lit.
4. Adjust burners to the desired cooking temperature.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit.
2. If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF”. Open lid to let the gas clear for at least 5
minutes before re-lighting.
3. Before cooking on the grill for the first time and operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the
gas turned on “HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and
painted finish.
4. Clean the grill after each use. DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts of the grill and cause a
fire.
Lighting Side Burner
1. Open lid while lighting the burner. Lid must remain open while burner is lit.
2. Valve must be in the “OFF” position.
3. Open cylinder valve.
4. Push side burner knob fully and rotate it slowly about 1/4 turn counterclockwise, and
then press the igniter promptly. The burner should light. If the burner does not light,

- 16 -
turn the knob to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure.
5. Adjust valve knob to the desired cooking temperature
Using the Lighting Stick to Light the Side Burner
1. Open lid while lighting the burner. Lid must remain open while burner is lit
2. Remove the lighting stick then insert a match into the end of lighting stick.
3. Once lit, place the flame to reach the burner ports. (See diagram to right.)
4. Press the control knob and rotate it counterclockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position. The burner should light immediately.
5. Adjust burner to the desired cooking temperature.

Burner installation and adjustment
WARNING
Adjusting the air-shutter while the grill is operating. If it is still hot, please wear protective gear and be careful. Failure to follow
this instruction could cause personal injury.
”Flare-Ups”
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some flaring is
normal and desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups
is necessary, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.
WARNING
Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down to LOW or OFF if flare-ups intensify.
Shutting Off Burners
1. Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, and then press and turn it to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob
without pressing it. This could damage the valve.

Excess flow safety valve reset procedure
● The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However,
unsafe practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
● A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner
control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
● This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a Natural Gas
model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".
● To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully performed, please carefully follow these instructions:
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4. Open the lid of the grill.
5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.
6. Wait at least 1 minute.
7. Turn burner control knobs OFF.
8. Wait for at least 5 minutes.
9. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank.
10.Slowly turn the LP tank valve ¼ turn at a time and have the valve all the way open.
11.With the lid open: For grill with ignition button: turn on only ONE front burner control knob to the HIGH position.
Ignite the grill by pushing the ignition button. For grill with an automatic ignition: Push down the control knob you
want to light, turn counterclockwise until you hear the ignition click.
12.After the first front burner is lit, turn on the other control knob(s) to the HIGH position. **If you have more than two

Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
CAUTION
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial and the
propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up. Clean the grill before
and after cooking is recommended.
Recommended cleaning materials
Mild dishwashing liquid detergent Hotwater
Nyloncleaningpad Wirebrush
Paperclip Puttyknife/scraper
Compressed air
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.
Outside surfaces:
Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution to clean. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Inside surface:
If the inside surface of the grill lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked on grease has turned to carbon and is flaking off.
Clean thoroughly with a strong solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse with water and allow it to completely dry.
Interior of grill bottom – Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with a dishwashing detergent and
hot water solution. Rinse with water and let dry.
Cooking Grates – The porcelain grates have a glass-like composition that should be handled with care. Use a mild dishwashing
detergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non-abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn
stains. Rinse with water.
Heat Plates – Clean residue with wire brush and wash with soapy water. Rinse with water.
Grease Cup – Periodically empty the grease cup and clean with a dishwashing detergent and hot water solution.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
1. Turn gas off at the control knobs and propane tank.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat plate.
3. Remove grease cup.
4. Remove burner by unscrewing nut from beneath burner “foot” using a screwdriver and pliers.
5. Lift burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
6. Clean inlet (venturi tube) of burner with small bottle brush or compressed air.
7. Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of burner surface.
8. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip).
9. Inspect burner for damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Reinstall burner. Make certain
the gas valve orifices are correctly positioned, pointing straight into burner inlet (venturi tube). Also, check position of
spark electrode.
