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 91.44cm / 36 in from any wall or
surface.
Maintain 304.8cm / 120 in clearance to objects that
can catch fire, or to sources of ignition such as pilot
lights on water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.
• Apartment Dwellers:
Check with management to learn the requirements
and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your
apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the
ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from walls

buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is
hazardous.
• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct
position specified in assembly instructions.
• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove
coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from
specified operation position.
SAFETY TIPS
9
NOTICE: Using a water spray bottle to extinguish flame
flare-ups can cause thermal shock to firebox porcelain
surfaces, and create “feathering” cracks in the porcelain.
Water can seep through the cracks and cause the
underlying metal to rust.
Ignitor Lighting the Grill
1. Read instructions before lighting your grill.
2. Open lid during lighting.
3. Open LP cylinder or natural gas valve.
4. Push control knob in and turn the knob to the left to “HI”
position. You will hear a clicking sound from all burners.
Keep pressing the knob until the burner is lit. For rotisserie
burner, after it is lit, still keep pressing the knob for another
10 seconds to be sure the burner stays lit.
5. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner
control off, wait 5 minutes for gas to clear away, and repeat
the lighting procedure.
NOTE: If ignitor does not work, follow Match Lighting
instructions.
WARNING: The side burner lid must remain raised when the
side burner is in operation.
Main Burner Match Lighting
Do not lean over grill while lighting.
1. Open lid during lighting.
2. Place match into match holder (hanging from side of cart).
Light match, place into the firebox.
3. Push in and turn right knob to HIGH position. Be sure burner
lights and stays lit.
4. Light other burners by pushing knob in and turning to HI
position.
Side burner Match Lighting
1. Open side burner lid. Turn on gas at LP cylinder.
2. Place lit match near burner.
3. Turn side burner knob to HI. Be sure burner lights and
stays lit.
Burner Flame Check
•Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light burners,
rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller
flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH. Perform burner
flame check on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to
each use.
Turn off controls and tank or gas supply when not
in use.
Please make sure the drip tray and drip cup are
properly installed before turning burners on.
Drip tray is hot when burner is on and after grilling.
Do not touch the drip tray when it is hot.
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner control off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the
lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite
with the valve open, gas will continue to flow out
of the burner and could accidently ignite with risk
of injury.
10
Turning Grill Off
•Turn all knobs to position. Turn LP cylinder off by turning
hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Ignitor Check
•Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Push the control knob in and
turn the knob to the left to “HI” position."Clicking" should be
heard and spark seen each time between collector box or
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.
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.
•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!
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or
that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the
time to check and clean the burner tubes.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create
“flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests
and lay eggs in the grill’s burner tubes obstructing the flow
of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the
burner tube behind the control panel. This is known as a
flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause
injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the
burner and burner tube assembly should be removed from
the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been
idle for an extended period.

Storing Your Grill
•Clean cooking grates.
•Store in dry location.
•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
well-ventilated 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.
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 diffusers.
3. Remove R pins from rear of burners.
4. 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.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
7. 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.
Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the
grill by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat
from lit burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking
meat or poultry without the touch of a direct flame.
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 during cooking.
Indirect Cooking Instructions
•Always cook with the lid closed.
• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary.
During cold and windy conditions the temperature setting
may need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking
temperatures.
• Place food over unlit burner(s)
1 Burner Cooking
Cook with direct or indirect heat.
Best for smaller meals or foods.
Consumes less fuel.
2 Burner Cooking
Great indirect cooking on low.
Produces slow, even heating.
Ideal for slow roastingand baking.

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 82.23℃/ 180° F; breasts,
76.67℃/170° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not
be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should
reach 71.12℃/160° F, and be brown in the middle with no
pink juices. Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can
be cooked to 62.78℃/145°F. All cuts of pork should reach
71.12℃/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 73.89℃/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** 62.78℃/145° F
Fish 62.78℃/145° F
Beef, Veal, Lamb and Pork – Ground 71.12℃/160° F
Egg Dishes 71.12℃/160° F

Gas Requirements
LP Gas
If your grill is for LP Gas, the regulator supplied is set for
an 27.94cm / 11in. water column (WC) and is for use with
LP gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose
must be used with a 9.08kg / 20 lb. LP gas tank (not
included).
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.
