• Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.
• New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a
dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel
propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or
flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
• Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.
• If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has
a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).

of cabinet.
3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening faces the
side burner, and so that the hose is not kinked or damaged.
4. Fully tighten the tank retention screw on the back side of
grill to secure tank.
5. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only
when cylinder is at rest in tank holder.
HOSE AND REGULATOR:
Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with
the following features:
1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until
a positive connection to the valve has been made.
Note: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any
connection is made or removed.
2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is
subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to
150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator
assembly and dispose of properly. A replacement regulator
assembly can be purchased by contacting customer service
at 800-527-0717. The cause of the excessive heat should be
determined and corrected before using your grill again.
3. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device
is activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.

gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and
your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this
should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could
result in serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs close the lid and turn off the main burners
until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
WARNING
• DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.
• DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.
• DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.
• Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
•Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
•Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
•Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the
drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup.
INDIRECT COOKING:
•Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your
food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the
other (unlit) side of the grill.
ROTISSERIE COOKING:
•Your grill was pre-drilled from factory to include mounting holes for a rotisserie (sold separately). Do
not use a rotisserie not specifically manufactured for this grill.
•Read and follow all instructions provided with the rotisserie. Save instructions for future reference.
•Do not use the side burner when using a rotisserie.
•DO NOT use back rotisserie burner when main burners are in use.
• When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes:
• In the US: The National Electrical Code – ANS-NFPA No. 70 – Latest Edition
• In Canada: the Canadian Electrical Code – CSA C22.1
• The Rotisserie is equipped with a three pronged plug for your protection against electrical
shock. This plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3 prong receptacle. Never
cut or remove the grounding plug. Any extension cord must also have a 3 prong receptacle.
• All electrical supply cords should be kept away from water and any hot surfaces of the grill.
USING OTHER FEATURES OF THE GRILL:
THE SIDE BURNER:
•The side burner can be used to prepare side dishes such as beans, potatoes, corn, or to warm
sauces.
•The burner valve can be adjusted from high to low depending upon your cooking demands.
• Read instructions on lighting your grill to light the side burner.
• Never close the side burner cover when the burner is lit.
• Use a 10" diameter pot or smaller that does NOT have an extended handle when cooking on the
side burner. Center pot over burner.
• Never place more than 15 pounds on the side burner. The side burner is not constructed to hold
weight exceeding 15 pounds.
WARNING
WARNING

• Use caution to avoid bumping grill, side burner or pot to prevent pot from spilling contents
possibly leading to severe burns.
• DO NOT use side burner to deep fry food in oil to avoid dangers associated with oil igniting
creating a very dangerous situation.
THE SMOKER BOX:
•In manufacturing and preserving the components of your smoker, oil residue may be present on the
burner and cooking surfaces of your smoker.
•Before cooking on your smoker for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "Hi" to burn off
these residual oils.
ADDING WATER:
Place the wood chip/water pan into the rack at the bottom of the smoker. To add water before cooking,
simply fill the wood chip/water pan with water up to 1/2” (1.25 cm) below the rim. To add water while the
smoker is hot, DO NOT pull the wood chip/water pan pan out beyond the rack.
Cooking Tip:
• To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean watering can with a long spout.
ADDING WOOD CHIPS:
To add wood chips before cooking, simply fill the wood
chip/water pan with your choice of flavoring hardwood chips.
The amount and type of wood you use is entirely up to you. One
full pan is typically enough for several hours of smoking. Once
the pan is filled, set the pan in the smoker and cover with lid.
To add wood chips while cooking, we recommend using tongs or
long handled pliers to remove the pan lid and to place the pieces
into the wood chip pan without removing the pan. It is not
recommended to remove the wood chip/water pan while the
smoker is in operation.
CAUTION: The wood chip/water pan and lid get very hot.
Avoid handling them while in use. Always wear
protective oven mitts when handling hot
components.
Cooking Tips – Flavoring wood:
• Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip box.
• Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite.
• Most fruit or nut tree woods produce excellent smoke flavoring.
• Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood. These usually produce unpleasant flavoring.
• Let your taste be your guide – experiment with different types and quantities of wood chunks, chips, or
sticks. You can even mix woods.
• To produce more smoke and to prevent fast burning, pre-soak the wood chips in a separate bowl of
water for at least 20 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated aluminum foil.
• Most smoke flavoring occurs within the first hour of cooking. Adding wood chips after the first hour is
typically not necessary unless extra smoke flavoring is desired.

in use.
• Wash cooking grills and heat distribution plates with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat
cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
• Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or
vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.
• The stainless steel exterior surface of your grill, can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then
lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.
PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
• Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under
Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or
after extended periods of storage.
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION! Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
• Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with
hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse
completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.

BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE
•Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they may corrode as a result of the extreme
heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and
other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
•DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by
spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners
and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these
instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
2. Remove cooking grills and heat distribution plates.
3. Remove screw from each burner "foot" using a screwdriver.
4. Carefully lift each crossover channel and up and away from
burners.
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
6. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook
to run through each burner tube and flame port several
times.
Note: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 7.
7. Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the
flame ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out
each hole.
8. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
9. Check burner for damage, if any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.
10. Carefully align crossover channels between burners and orient
burners CORRECTLY by aligning screw hole in burner to the left
as shown.
11. Replace M6 screws and M6 nuts to each burner and crossover
channel.
