Turning Off
1. Turn gas off at LP tank.
2. Turn all control knobs clockwise to the OFF position.
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill
for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts
and dissipate odors.
Direct Cooking
Cooking directly over hot burners. Ideal for searing in juices and food requiring less than 25
minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables and
fruit.
1. Open lid and ignite the desired amount of burners per lighting instructions in owner’s manual.
2. Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the
lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to desired temperature.
5. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
6. Turn grill OFF by first closing the valve on the propane tank. Burn off remaining gas in lines by
waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the OFF position. A “poof” sound is normal
as the last of the LP gas is burned.
Indirect Cooking
Not cooking directly over hot burners. Ideal for slow cooking and foods requiring more than 25
minutes such as most roasts, loins, chops, whole chickens, turkey, fish and baked goods.
1. Open lid and ignite the desired amount of burners per lighting instructions in owner’s manual.
2. Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the
un-lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to desired temperature.
5. With lid closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
6. Turn grill OFF by first closing the valve on the propane tank. Burn off remaining gas in lines by
waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the OFF position. A “poof” sound is normal
as the last of the LP gas is burned.
For more tips on indirect cooking please see “Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life”
Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life
1. Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads or
cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.
2. Use the side burner of this appliance like a normal kitchen range for boiling, sautéing or frying.
3. To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.
4. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on
very high temperatures.
5. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or
place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
6. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
7. When direct cooking adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to
different internal temperatures in the same time frame.
8. When in-direct cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack inside
a heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the un-lit burners.
9. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting grill remove cooking
grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with water, fruit
juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over the loaded pan.
10. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow
the wood manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your
experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.
12. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
13. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of
cooking oil, empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and
protect surfaces with a quality cover that is properly fits your grill.
Cleaning and Care
Caution
1. All cleaning and maintenance should
be done when grill is cool and with
the fuel supply disconnected.
2. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self
cleaning oven. The extreme heat will
damage the finish.

vapors and liquids.
2. Do not obstruct the flow of the combustion of LP and
the ventilation air.

orifice is correctly positioned inside burner inlet
(venturi). Also check position of spark electrode.
