Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to the OFF position. Turn LP cylinder
OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Ignitor Check
• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold
electronic ignitor button. "Click" should be heard and
spark seen each time in each collector box or
between burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting"
if no click or spark.
Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder
before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position.
To check valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs
should spring back. If knobs do not spring back,
replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs
to LOW position then turn back to OFF position. Valves
should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn
or kinked. Replace damaged hoses before using grill.
Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by
manufacturer.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease
and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not
painted at the factory (and should never be painted).
Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a
grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and
bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not
apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
• Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to
and failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition,
most residue can be wiped away with baking
soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use
nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or
nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry
with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high
quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and
warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after
each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the
use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in
direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not
use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean
any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose
bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is
NOT recommended to clean cooking surfaces while
grill is hot.
SPIDER ALERT!
CAUTION
INSIDE BURNER
SPIDER AND WEBS
If your grill is getting hard to light or the flame is weak,
check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create
“flashback” problems by building nests and laying
eggs in the barbeque’s venturi or burner, obstructing
the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind
the control panel. This flashback can damage your
barbeque and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks
and ensure good performance the burner and venturi
tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when
ever the barbeque has been idle for an extended
period of time.
Sideburner Ignitor Lighting
• Do not lean over grill while lighting.
3. Open sideburner lid.
4. Turn sideburner knob to the HIGH position, push
and hold ELECTRONIC IGNITOR button.
5. If sideburner does NOT light within 5 seconds, turn
knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes, then repeat lighting
procedure.
Sideburner Match Lighting
4. Place lit match near burner.
5. Turn sideburner knob to the HIGH position. Be sure
burner lights and stays lit.
NOTE: Your grill may NOT be equipped with a
Sideburner! Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of
burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas OFF at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat tents.
3. Remove carryover tubes and hardware securing burners.
4. Detach electrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on
the burner configuration. See different configurations
in illustrations below.
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve
openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes.
Use the one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works
well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each
burner tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do
not use a brass wire brush). Run the brush through
each burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
8.Check burner for damage due to normal wear and
corrosion, some holes may become enlarged. If any
large cracks or holes are found, replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage
valve openings. See illustrations at right.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace burners.
11. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
12. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners.
Replace heat tents and cooking grates.
