WARNING:
Gas valves are preset at the factory to operate on LP gas. If you wish to convert to a
different gas type, be sure to contact your grill dealer, licensed plumber or authorized
service center for further details. Even though the conversion tool comes with the
product, a qualified technician is still required to perform the conversion. Failure to
properly convert a unit can cause serious injury to yourself and/or others, irreparable
damage to your grill and will void the warranty.
CAUTION:
BEWARE OF SPIDERS
BURNERS MUST BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE FIRST USE.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burners during
warehousing, transit and/or after long periods of non-use. These webs can lead to a
gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This
type of fire is known as “FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your grill
and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner
tube is not the only cause of “FLASH-BACK” it is the most common cause, and
frequent inspection and cleaning of the burners is necessary.
CAUTION:
When using a match to light the grill, make sure to use a lighting rod.
CAUTION:
When using the rotisserie burner,
remove the warming rack. High heat
from the burner may cause the
warming rack to bend.
CAUTION:
Before cleaning, make sure the gas
supply and control knobs are in the
“OFF” position and the burners have
cooled.

PROPANE GAS SAFETY
Your gas grill is designed to operate on
propane gas ONLY, at a pressure
regulated at 11” water column (W.C.)/
27.4 mbar when equipped with the
correct propane orifices on the valves
and a propane regulator.
Your propane gas grill is designed to
be used with a standard 20 lb/7 kg gas
cylinder. In the United States, the gas
cylinder must be constructed and
marked in accordance with
specifications of the US Department of
Transportation for Propane Gas
Cylinders. Outside the United States,
the gas cylinder must be approved
under CE NORMS: EN417 and test
code 215. Gas cylinder must be
constructed and marked with CE
regulations for the European country of
destination, where it will be used.
Always keep cylinder securely fastened
in an upright position.
Never connect an unregulated propane
gas cylinder to the grill.
Do not subject Propane cylinders to
excessive heat.
NATURAL GAS SAFETY
Your Natural Gas (when converted) grill
is designed to operate on natural gas
ONLY, at a pressure of 4” water column
(W.C.)/10 mbar regulated at the natural
gas regulator attached at the back of the
grill. Check with your gas utility for local
gas pressure and with your local
municipality for building code
requirements.
Check with your gas utility or with local
building codes for instructions to install
gas supply line, or call a licensed and
knowledgeable installer.
It is recommended that an “ON-OFF”
shutoff valve be installed at the gas
supply source:
-Outdoors after gas line piping exits
outside wall or before gas line piping
enters ground.
Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread
tape of the type resistant to the action of
natural gas must be used on all male
pipe thread. Apply compound or tape to
at least the first three threads when
making the connection.
Disconnect your gas grill from fuel
source when the gas supply is being
tested at high pressures. This appliance
and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of
that system at pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa)/37 mbar.
Turn off your gas grill when the gas
supply is being tested at low pressures.
This appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its
individual valve.
CAUTION:

WARNING:
Never operate Rotisserie Burner with main burner(s) “ON”"
Warming Rack must be removed when operating the Rotisserie Burner

ver.2016 r1
To light Rotisserie Burner with a fireplace-type match, Follow steps 1 & 2 above.
Carefully insert lighted fireplace-type match or long-necked butane lighter placing flame
near to the Ceramic Panel. Press in control knob and rotate left (counter clockwise) to
“HIGH” or “ON” setting to release gas. Burner should light immediately.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Burn-off: Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, burn the grill to get rid of any
odors or foreign matter by igniting the burners, closing the lid, and operating at “HIGH”
setting for about five minutes. You may then either set the controls to “OFF” or cook on
your grill immediately by turning the control knobs to a lower setting.
Preheating: It is necessary to preheat the grill for a short time before cooking certain
foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature. Food that requires a
high cooking temperature needs preheat for five minutes; food that requires a lower
cooking temperature needs only a period of two to three minutes. There is no need to
preheat for casseroles or other foods that require slow cooking.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
HIGH setting: Use this setting only for fast warm-up, for searing steaks and chops, and
for burning food residue from the cooking grids after the cookout is over.
MEDIUM setting: Use this setting for most grilling, roasting or baking, and for cooking
hamburgers and vegetables.
LOW setting: Use this setting for all smoke cooking, rotisserie cooking, and when
cooking very lean cuts such as fish.
NOTE: These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind.
Cooking With Indirect Heat: You can cook poultry and large cuts of meat slowly to
perfection on one side of the grill by indirect heat from the next burner. The heat from
the lighted burner circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking the meat or poultry
without any direct flame beneath or below the food you are preparing. This method
greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts, because there is no direct flame
to ignite the fats and juices that drip down during cooking. Place a drip pan slightly
