Safety Tips
Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut
for tightness.
When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP
cylinder valve.
Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to
avoid burns and splatters.
Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied
after each use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has
completely cooled.
Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. 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.
If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill
onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once.
Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect
valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a
leak test.
Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart)
free and clear of debris.
Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart
enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the
underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise
during operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting
Section".
If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve
immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and
it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!
For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious
Injury:
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that
burn.
• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.
• Check burner flames regularly.
• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use in
enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch,
covered patio, or under an overhead structure of any
kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.
(Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)
• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.

Hose Check
•Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only identical
replacement part valve/hose/regulator as specified in the
Parts List of this Use and Care Guide.
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.
•Grease Tray and Cup: Regularly clean the grease drippings
from the Grease Tray and Grease Cup.
When the grill has completely cooled down after use, remove
the cup from the tray and slide the tray out of the grill. Clean
the grease drippings from the cup and tray surfaces by
washing with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm
soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth. Slide the
tray back into the grill and replace the cup back into the tray
before using the grill again.
•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.

11
Storing Your Grill
•Clean cooking grates.
•Store in dry location.
•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
wellventilated space and out of reach of children.
•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturer.
•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
•When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner
Assembly” instructions before starting grill.
Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy
water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on
the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to
check for visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should
reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices.
Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked
to 145°F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
WARNING: To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be
cooked to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table
below.
USDA* Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures
Beef, Veal, Lamb and Pork – Whole Cuts** 145° F
Fish 145° F
Beef, Veal, Lamb and Pork – Ground 160° F
Egg Dishes 160° F
Turkey, Chicken & Duck – Whole, Pieces & Ground 165° F
* United States Department of Agriculture
**Allow meat to rest three minutes before carving or consuming.

Gas Requirements
LP Gas
If your grill is for LP Gas, the regulator supplied is set for
an 11-in. water column (WC) and is for use with LPgas
only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be
used with a 20-lb. LP gas tank.
Excess Flow Control and Low Heat
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess
flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas
flow under normal conditions yet control excess gas flow.
Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow
device providing a low flame and low temperature. If the
tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner
valve is open, the surge of pressure will cause the device
to activate. The device will remain closed until the
pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5
seconds.
To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill,
follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
3. Light the burners one at a time following the lighting
instructions.
Helpful Care and Maintenance Hints
Before grilling, pre-heat grill for 15 minutes on "HI" with
hood down. To avoid uncontrolled flare-ups or grease
fires, grill meats with hood open. Close hood if meats are
thick or weather is cold, or if you are using a rotisserie or
indirect cooking.
Always protect your hand with a pot holder or cooking
glove when coming into contact with a hot surface.
Hood up when grilling meats, especially chicken. Hood
down when indirect or rotisserie cooking.
NEVER leave your grill unattended while cooking.
After use, close hood, turn burners to HI for 15 min. for
self-cleaning, grease burn off.
