OUTDOOR COOKING GAS APPLIANCE. THIS GRILL IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
Grill Installation Codes
Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation, in the absence of local codes, this unit should be
installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gases, ANSI / NFPA B19.2 or CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installation code, and the National
Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70.
Correct LP Gas Tank Use
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas tank, not included with grill. Never
connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.
CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK!
If an external electrical source is utilized: The outdoor cooking gags appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low volume of
noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive you may
need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done
every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill.
CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spider webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during transit and
warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around 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.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", you must clean the burner tubes at least once a month in late summer or early
fall when spiders are most active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an
extended period of time. A clogged tube can be lead to a fire beneath the grill.

LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete
gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in
shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the
whole system for leaks following the procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at
anytime you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including the burner tie-down straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder
is full.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valves are in the "OFF" position, and turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the LP gas regulator and supply valve up to and including
the connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners).
Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and re-check.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply and
contact Customer Service at 1-800-537-8484.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill.

FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
Check for proper burner flame characteristics.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, no excessive noise, or lifting. If any of
these conditions exist call our customer service line. If the flame is yellow, it indicates insufficient air.
If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, it indicates too much air.

EACH BURNER IS ADJUSTED PRIOR TO SHIPMENT;
HOWEVER, VARIATIONS IN THE LOCAL GAS SUPPLY
MAY MAKE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS NECESSARY.
VISUALLY CHECK THE BURNER
FLAMES PRIOR TO EACH USE. THE
FLAMES SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS
PICTURE, IF THEY DO NOT, REFER TO
THE BURNER MAINTENANCE PART
OF THIS MANUAL.
SIDE BURNER
The Side Burner complements the grill, turning your appliance into an "Outdoor Kitchen". The
convenience of the Side Burner allows you to prepare side dishes, simmer foods, and prepare
your favorite sauces at the grill. The Side Burner is to be used in the same manner you would
use the burners of a kitchen rangetop. The Side Burner is not to be used for "grilling" directly
on the Side Burner Grates.
TO LIGHT THE SIDE BURNER
Push and turn to the "HI" setting either the Front or Rear Side Burner control knob and the igniter
will click to light the burner.
If the burner does not light in 4 seconds turn the control knob to "OFF". Wait 5 minutes
and try again.
If the Side Burner does not light after several attempts, refer to the " Match Lighting Instructions "
on page 17.

GRILL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
TO LIGHT THE SEARING BURNER:
1. Push and hold the Searing Burner control knob for about 5 seconds without rotating. This will
allow time for the gas to flow into the searing burner.
2. Turn the knob to the "HI" position and the igniter will click to light the burner.
If the burner does not light in 4 seconds turn the control knob to "OFF". Wait 5 minutes
and try again.
If the Searing Burner does not light after several attempts, then refer to the " Match Lighting
Instructions " on page 17.
In general, the Searing Burner may be used for both "searing" and "cooking". If you
follow our simple infrared cooking suggestions, you're sure to get the most enjoyment
out of your grill.
The high heat of a Searing Burner allows you to quickly sear meats to seal in flavor and juices,
while allowing the surface to soak in smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease drippings
are vaporized by the Searing Burner.
HOW TO "SEAR" MEATS USING THE SEARING BURNER:
Many chefs use the Searing Burner to "sear" meats, especially steaks, in conjunction with the
main cooking burners.
1. After allowing the searing burner (and the main burner) to warm up, place meats on the grill
grids above the Searing Burner for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
2. After searing, transfer the meat to the main cooking burners and continue to cook until
desired doneness.
HOW TO "COOK" MEATS USING THE SEARING BURNER:
1. After allowing the searing burner to warm up, place meats on the grill grids above the Searing
Burner, and be sure to turn every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until food is cooked to desired doneness.
2. Perfect cross sear marks can be made by rotating food 90°
3. Suggested cooking times:
FOOD ITEM APPROXIMATE COOKING TIME
Chicken Breast, Boneless 8-10 minutes
Chicken Breast, Bone-in 15-19 minutes
Hamburger, 1/2" thick 5 minutes, Medium
6 minutes, Well-done
Steak, 1" thick
6 minutes, Rare
8 minutes, Medium
10 minutes, Well-done
These are suggested times only. Due to variations in cuts of meat and personal tastes, your
cooking times may vary. Use your discretion when cooking with the Searing Burner.

ROTISSERIE INSTALLATION
Locate the rotisserie bracket on the left hand side of the grill. Slide the rotisserie
motor onto the rotisserie bracket. Plug the rotisserie motor into a 110/120 volt
electric supply GFI receptacle (6.5 amp min.)
ROTISSERIE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the rotisserie, be sure to obtain a pair of grill mitts. Because the rotisserie rod
will become quite hot, you will need to wear protective mitts to grab hold of the rod for removal
after cooking.
Attach the left- hand meat fork, and then center the meat to be cooked on the rotisserie rod,
then attach the right-hand meat fork and push the forks firmly towards each other. Tighten
the wing nuts on the meat forks. For some foods it may be necessary to wrap the food with
butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure loose portions.
IMPORTANT: When using the rotisserie, remove the warming rack.
See page 14 for lighting instructions for the rear rotisserie burner. When the rear burner has
reached desired cooking temperature, insert the pointed end of the rotisserie rod into the
rotisserie motor shaft and secure the other end of the rod in the right- hand bracket.
If needed, remove the cooking grates for more room. Turn the power switch to the ON position to
start the rotisserie motor.
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 15 lb cut of meat or poultry. When using
the rotisserie, use of the rear burner instead of the grill burners is recommended. Light the
rear burner as described in the Lighting Instructions, page 19. Also refer to the Rotisserie
instructions on page 19 for additional guidance.
Note: It’s recommended to remove the warming rack when using the rotisserie. The
high heat from the rear burner may cause the warming rack to bend.
Note: Remove the rotisserie when not in use.
