Gas grills are used SAFELY by millions of people when following
simple SAFETY precautions.
The items in the fuel system are designed for operation with the
Holland Grill. They must not be replaced with any other brand.
(See parts list for replacement items.)
GAS BURNER: The gas burner is constructed of heavy cast iron and
should not require maintenance other than inspection for insect nests
inside the venturi. f you remove the burner for
cleaning, it must be reinstalled exactly as removed.
A R SHUTTER: See item 11 in lighting instructions (see figure 6 for
details.)
BURNER VALVE: The burner valve is operated in only two
positions. The Off position is when the handle is across (perpendicular
to) the burner, which stops the flow of gas. When the valve has been
set in the Off position, it is important to close the valve at the LP gas
cylinder. The LP gas cylinder is the primary valve and must be closed
when the grill is not in use. The On position is when the handle is in
line with the burner (see figure 6 for details. See lighting instructions
for more information.) The burner valve controls the heat allowed in
the grill by means of a plug orifice. This device is set at the factory
and must not be tampered with or replaced. Turn off LP supply at
cylinder when appliance is not in use.
ONLY A FACTORY SUPPL ED VALVE SHOULD BE USED. (See the
parts list for replacement items.)
LP GAS HOSE: The LP gas hose is designed for use with LP gas
only. Use with any other gas is dangerous. The hose is made of a
flexible material to make it easy to install. This material is subject to
considerable twisting and turning during installation. t is very impor-
tant that the hose be inspected for cracks, cuts, abrasions, wear and
loose fittings before each use of the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
The visual inspection should include leak testing the entire length of
hose and fittings. (See final assembly instructions for more informa-
tion.)
f the hose shows signs of damage or leakage, it must be replaced
prior to the operation of the grill. Only a factory authorized replace-
ment part can be used. (See the parts list for replacement items.)
Failure to properly inspect or replace hose with an authorized replace-
ment may result in accident or injury.
LP GAS REGULATOR: CAUT ON: Use only the gas pressure regula-
tor and hose supplied with this appliance. This regulator and hose is
set for an outlet pressure of 11 inches water column. Substitution of
regulator and hose by any other device or any other manufacturer's
regulator and hose is dangerous and could result in serious injury.
(See the parts list for replacement items.)
MPORTANT LP CYL NDER NFORMAT ON: Failure to follow these
DANGER statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or
serious injury.
The Holland Co. nc. recommends the use of cylinder manufacturers
Manchester and Worthington, Wolfdale with a 47.6 lb water capacity.
Other cylinders may be acceptable for use with the appliance provided
they are compatible with the appliance retention means (see figure 9 on
page E6 for retention means point of contact).
PROPANE FUEL: Warning – propane is a flammable gas. mproper
handling may result in an explosion and/or fire and serious accident or
injury. Your grill is designed to operate on Propane (LP) gas ONLY and
is equipped with the proper orifice for this gas. Caution: Do not connect
this grill to any gas supply except propane or natural gas. Propane gas
is heavier than air and will settle in low areas. Make certain adequate
ventilation is available when using your grill and that the gas cylinder is
stored outside in a well ventilated area out of the reach of children when
the grill is not in use.
LP GAS CYL NDER: This grill is designed and intended to be used with
an LP gas cylinder with a nominal LP gas capacity of 20 pounds. Such a
cylinder is approximately 12-3/8" in diameter with an overall height of 18-
1/16". The Holland Grill does not come with an LP gas cylinder. This
must be purchased separately and is available at most hardware stores.
The cylinder used must be constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) (4BA-240) and the National Standard of Canada
CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the transportation of
dangerous goods. Only a cylinder equipped with an overfill protection
device (OPD) should be used.
The LP gas cylinder shall be used only outdoors in a well ventilated
space and not in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. The LP
gas cylinder is designed to be used, stored, and transported in the
upright position. The Holland Grill may be stored indoors if the LP gas
cylinder is removed and stored outdoors. NEVER turn the cylinder
upside down or on its side. Always transport, store and use your cylinder
in the upright position. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the
reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area.
The cylinder must be provided with a Sherwood valve, part #PV3349,
which will connect with (quick connect) the QCC-1 Fitting provided on
each of our LP (propane) grills. Must also have a safety relief device
having a direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder. The
cylinder supply system must be mounted vertically for proper vapor with-
drawal. The cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
The grill must be connected to the gas supply by a hose. Turn off LP
supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use.
DO NOT transport a full or empty gas cylinder in a closed automobile
trunk or in a closed passenger area.
Filling the gas cylinder requires removing it from the grill. The cylinder is
attached to the grill by connecting the regulator assembly to the outlet
portion of the gas cylinder valve. This connection is made by the QCC-1
fitting pictured in Figure 1. The large plastic nut fits on the outside of the
threads and turns right, or clockwise to tighten. No tools are necessary.
Hand tight is sufficient. f a good connection is not achieved, the safety
valve inside will not permit the proper amount of gas to flow. When con-
necting the regulator to the cylinder valve, be sure the pressure relief
valve is directed away from the front and away from the grill. f the relief
valve should open, the propane will be directed where it is likely to do
the least harm. To disconnect regulator assembly turn large plastic
nut left or counter-clockwise. When disconnecting and connecting
the gas cylinder, be careful that the regulator assembly does not
strike the grill, the ground, or any other surface. f any difficulty at all
is had in connecting or disconnecting the regulator assembly to the
cylinder valve, contact your local gas supplier for assistance.
When disconnected from the cylinder, a valve cap must be installed.
(See figure 1.) Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylin-
der valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types
of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane. Failure to install
a valve cap when the cylinder is disconnected from the fuel system
is dangerous and may result in accident or injury.
When re-connecting the LP gas cylinder, be sure to tighten the fit-
ting until snug. This connection, as well as all other fittings and con-
nections between the cylinder and burner valve, should be inspect-
ed for damage and leak tested after every filling or re-connection.
Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from
any heated surface.
NATURAL GAS: f natural gas is used, contact your local supplier
to set it up properly. The N.G. Holland Grill is set to operate at 7
inches water column pressure, using an orifice with a #48 drill size.
f your grill seems too hot, first call your local gas company to
determine what pressure you have.
N v r allow anyon to chang orific siz without
authorization from factory.
SPARK GN TER: This grill is equipped with a rotary Piezo igniter
system. A simple Clockwise rotation of the igniter knob produces a
spark at the burner head, lighting the burner. To check that the
spark igniter is working properly, leave gas supply turned OFF and
observe the spark by looking through the peep hole above the con-
trol panel or from below the control panel to the left side of the burn-
er in the burner opening. A small blue spark should be visible at the
left side of the burner head every time the igniter “fires”. A loud
“hammer” like sound is produced by the mechanism when sparking.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
REMINDER: TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, THE GRILL LID
MUST BE OPEN BEFORE YOU LIGHT THE BURNER.
Refer to Figur 6.
1. Make sure the propane tank valve and the burner valve are
both fully off.
2. Open the grill lid and allow five full minutes to air out.
3. BEFORE EACH USE , inspect the gas system of the outdoor cooking
device for damaged hose or loose fittings. Check the hose for
wear, abrasions, cuts or kinks. f any damage is found, replace
hose and regulator using only factory-approved replacement hose
and regulator. Never attempt to light this or any gas grill with a
cracked, split, braided, or severely kinked hose or with any broken
or leaking fittings.
SPARK IGNITER LIGHTING
4. With the grill lid opened, slowly open valve at propane tank or
natural gas supply.
5. Turn the red knob on the gas valve 90 degrees counter-clockwise
to the ON position.
6. MMED ATELY TURN THE SPARK GN TER KNOB
CLOCKW SE RAP DLY UP TO 5 T MES
7. f ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner control(s)
off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
NOTE: USE PEEP HOLE TO VERIFY THAT BURNER IS
LIT BEFORE YOU WALK AWAY FROM THE GRILL.
MANUAL MATCH LIGHTING
8. With the grill lid opened, slowly open valve at propane tank or nat-
ural gas supply. nsert lit match or lighter into left side of burner
hole opening, next to burner, up under control panel with flame
next to burner head.
9. Turn the red knob on the gas valve 90 degrees counter-clockwise
to the ON position. f ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner control(s) off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat lighting procedure.
10. When the burner lights remove the match or lighter.
ADJUSTING AIR SHUTTER
11. Loosen the lock nut with an 5/8” open end wrench, so you can
turn. Adjust the flame by turning the air shutter on the face of the
burner valve slowly. When most of the orange color has left the
flame, and it has become uniformly pale yellow-to-blue, the flame
is properly set. There should be no need for re-adjustment for the
life of your Holland Grill, but it is wise to check the flame color each
time you light your grill. When proper setting is obtained be sure to
re-tighten the lock nut against the valve.
Make sure while looking to adjust or check flame to use the peep hole
just above valve. See below: The flame should be blue in color.
NOTE: Some ellow tipping ma occur. It’s not unusual and will not
affect the performance of the grill.
PROPER AIR SHUTTER SETTING
12. After air shutter adjustment, your grill is ready for use – proceed to
COOK NG NSTRUCT ONS.
13. f the burner did not light properly, wait 5 minutes before attempting
to relight, then repeat steps 1-9.
14. f the grill fails to light after the second attempt, call your local LP
gas dealer for professional assistance.
15. With the burner lit, gently close the lid and allow the grill to warm
for 20-30 minutes.
NOTE: f for any reason the burner should go out, shut off gas at the
burner and the LP cylinder. DO NOT attempt to re-light without
repeating steps 2-10.
TURNING GRILL OFF
1. Open lid
2. Turn burner valve OFF
3. Turn off LP supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use.
4. CAUT ON: Do not attempt to relight without following all
lighting instructions.
IMPORTANT: Always shut off the burner valve before closing the
tank/gas supply valve. This grill is equipped with a QCC-1 flow-limiting
connector which will not reset to allow full gas flow if the supply valve
is closed before the burner valve is shut off. f you experience trouble
with the grill not heating properly, shut off burner valve, then tank or
supply valve. Open lid, wait 5 minutes and follow lighting instructions.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
There is very little care and maintenance needed. The Holland Grill is
designed and made of materials that will last many years with normal
use. Following these instructions will improve the longevity and quality
of cooking. To assure safe operation of your Holland Grill, the area for
cooking should always be kept free of combustible materials of any
type, such as gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids.
Outsid of Grill Body: Your Holland Grill can be cleaned
easily with warm, soapy water. We recommend cleaning your grill after
each use. Do not use wire brushes, scrapers or abrasive cleaners for
normal cleaning.
Grid and Drip Pan: The grid is made of high quality stainless steel.
The grid should be brushed with a brass, copper, or stainless steel
brush immediately after removing food while grill is still warm. The drip
pan is aluminum and can be cleaned with a flat scraper such as a
putty knife. CAUT ON: The drip pan must be kept clean and free of
heavy build-up for grill to perform properly, and to eliminate flare-ups.
Do not wash drip pan.
Insid Grill: Use warm soapy water to clean this area. Do not allow
grease to build up.
Drain Pip and Valv : Both must be kept clear of grease and food
particles to allow grease to drain properly from drip pan. This must be
done to maintain proper operation of your grill.
Food Boards: These are made from high density polyethylene,
approved by the FDA for direct food contact. Warm soapy water can
be used for cleaning. CAUT ON: t should not be used as a chopping
block, nor should more than 15 pounds be placed on it at any time.
G n ral: This grill, like all equipment, will look better and last longer
if kept out of weather when not in use. CAUT ON: Do not store gas
tank in closed areas. See instructions or local gas ordinances for care
and storage of propane tanks. When using a cover, never place it on
the grill until the entire unit has cooled at least 30 minutes.
•Check to be sure all openings into the grill body are free of
blockages or debris. Make sure there are no objects or materials
blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
•Turn off LP supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use.
•For outdoor use only. f stored indoors, detach cylinder and leave
it outdoors.
•Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed
area.
•Check burner venturi behind air shutter screen for insect nests
or blockages. Make sure the passage through the burner venturi
is not obstructed. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
•Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and
clear from debris
Location of th valv to th Burn r: f the burner valve is ever
removed for cleaning or replacement, it should be re-installed to the
dimension shown below. Measure from the center of the valve inlet to
the face of the burner air shutter. This assures correct positioning of
the orifice in the burner venturi.
IMPORTANT - F RST T ME USE: t is important that the grill be lit
and allowed to operate at least 30 minutes before any food is placed
on the grill grid. Some smoke may appear during this period. This is
the preservative used during manufacturing. After initial heating, the
grill is ready for use. After burning off the grill, spray the food grid, drip
pan and the inside of the lid with PAM or similar spray, so food does
not stick to the grid and the inside is easier to clean.
MOVING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: NEVER MOVE GR LL W TH BURNER L T OR W TH
WATER N DR P PAN.
Moving in your yard or d ck: Make sure gas is turned off at
burner valve and tank valve. Be sure lid is closed. Unlock casters and
push to desired location, first checking for holes or obstacles that may
cause tripping or falling. Re-lock casters after moving.
Moving on trail r or truck: Follow all steps above. Before load-
ing, secure lid closed. After loading, be sure to tie down securely to
prevent damage.
NEVER transport your grill with propane tank connected.
CAUTION: Always secure propane tank tightly to truck or trailer.

SOAPY WATER TEST
n a small bowl mix half liquid detergent and half water. Turn
on propane tank valve. Using a small brush, soap all connec-
tions from tank to grill and look for bubbles. Correct all leaks
before proceeding. Turn off propane tank valve.
NOTE: The Holland Grill uses a 2-position gas valve on the
burner control. The left picture under Figure 6 shows the knob
in the OFF position. To turn ON push the knob in and rotate it
counter-clockwise to its full travel (about 90 degrees). See
right picture under Figure 6. NEVER operate the Holland Grill
with the handle in any intermediate position.
FOR NATURAL GAS SUPPLY
The Holland Grill, including the gas off-on valve, must be dis-
connected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of
that system, at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.
The Holland Grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing the individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

NOTE: Remember, the Holland Grill needs to warm up completely. Temperature will remain about 400 degrees F.
All grilling times are approximate depending on size, weight and individual taste preference. Grill needs to remain
closed at all times during grilling to be accurate with this time chart. Each time grill is opened during the grilling process,
increase grilling time by approximately 10 minutes.
HOLLAND GRILLING TIME CHART
GRILLING INSTRUCTIONS
Fish Grilling: Allow grill to warm up for 15 minutes. Place fish on grill
and season to taste. Allow 20-30 minutes total grilling time, turning at
half the grilling time if desired (turning is not necessary).
Fish Smoking: Make sure grill is where you intend to use it. Close
valve on drip pan, and fill with 1 gallon water (hot water speeds up
process). Add liquid smoke to water and sprinkle small amount on fish.
Light grill. You will feel steam on top of stacks in about 15 minutes, then
place fish on grill for approximately 20 minutes. Add seasonings at any
time.
Sh llfish: (oysters, clams, crab legs, etc.): Same as fish smoking,
allow 15-30 minutes grilling time.
Turk y Bar-B-Qu : Allow 15 minutes warm up time. Place turkey
on its back in center of grill. Allow 15 minutes grilling time per pound.
Not necessary to turn.
Turk y Smok d: Follow same procedure as smoking fish. Grill 15
minutes per pound and use meat thermometer to test for doneness.
Chick n Halv s or Quart rs: Place on grill for 60 minutes.
Turn at 30 minutes if desired.
St ak 3/4” - 1” thick: Allow grill to warm for 15 minutes, then
place steaks on grill. Allow 10-12 minutes per side. Ten minutes on
each side will produce medium well to well done steaks. Adjust to
your taste
Hamburg r: Same as steak.
Ribs: Allow grill to warm for 15 minutes, place ribs on grill. Allow
40-60 minutes grilling time. Turn at half the grilling time if desired
(not necessary). Baste or dip in sauce at any time.
Roast (pork, b f, lamb, tc.): Place in center of grill. Pans or
aluminum foil are not necessary. Allow 20 minutes per pound grilling
time. Use meat thermometer.
By design, the natural convection airflow of all Holland Grills means
that the outside edges of the cooking surface are hotter than the
center. This tip may help you finish those burgers a little faster.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING, YOU'RE NOT COOKING!
SIMPLY CLOSE THE LID AND COOK BY TIME.
Th Holland Grill has no t mp ratur controls. This
m ans th t mp ratur r mains constant; it’s simply a
matt r of timing. R f r to most any cookbook for th
cooking tim of an it m cook d at th r comm nd d
400 d gr t mp ratur . R m mb r, you will probably
want to turn th food ov r onc at approximat ly half
th cooking tim on short cooking tim it ms.
The Holland Grill is a unique outdoor gas grill. t's indirect, radiant
heat keeps the flame off the food to give you moist, juicy, tender food
without the hassle. t is important to realize cooking on a Holland Grill
uses a different process in order for the grill to perform correctly. t is
essential that the lid remain closed while grilling.
GRILLING
With the Holland Grill, you get juicy, moist burgers every single time.
An average hamburger, under normal circumstances, should take
approximately 10 to 12 minutes on each side. Thicker burgers will sim-
ply take a few more minutes per side. The same grilling times will give
you a "medium" doneness on a 3/4 to one-inch thick steak.
Although the Holland Grill is great for grilling hamburgers, steaks, pork
chops, and all the "ordinary" foods people grill, it is unmatched in its
ability to grill large foods like whole turkeys, chickens, pork loins,
boston butts and beef roasts. t is also unsurpassed in its ability to grill
vegetables, pizzas, biscuits, wild game, bacon, baked beans in a dish,
apple pie and it grills awesome sausage and biscuits, baked potatoes
and meatloafs...and baby back ribs...and wings...and...shrimp... and on
and on.
STEAMING
Close the drain valve on your HollandGrill. Open the lid and fill the drip
pan (sizzle tray) with one gallon of water. Fill it just to the top edge of
the drip pan. Light the grill the proper way, close the lid and let it pre-
heat for about 20 minutes or until you start to see steam coming from
the smoke stacks.
Place your food on the cooking grid and close the lid.
Remember, now you're trying to keep the grill temperature LOW. You
will have to add more liquid every hour or so as it steams out. Your
goal should be cooking at approximately 275 - 300 degrees. Your food
will take longer to cook steaming or slow-cooking than it would with
regular grilling. Use Holland's digital Temperature Probe to determine
when the meat is done.
DRY SMOKING
Place Holland Grill Flav- O-Buds in the built in chip drawer on the front
of the grill. f additional wood is preferred for either grill, you can use
throw-away aluminum tart pans placed in the rear corners of the dry
drip pan in the space between the top edge of the drip pan and the
flange, and the bottom of grill.
Each pan will smoke up to an hour, depending on how many Flavo-O-
Buds you use in each pan. When finished grilling, throw away wood
and use fresh each time you grill.
Caution - Make sure Flav-O-buds are cool before you empty the
chip tray or chip drawer.
HELPFUL TIPS
H at it up
For accurate time results, allow your grill to warm up with the lid
closed for 20 or 30 minutes prior to cooking.
Turn it with tongs
Using a pair of stainless steel tongs makes it much easier to turn food
items on the Holland Grill. Using a spatula could cause grease to
splash over the edge of drip pan into the flame and using a fork to
stab your meat will let all the juice run out.
Exp rim nt with cooking tim s
The cooking times we suggest are only that – suggestions. You may
want to vary the times as you become familiar with your Holland Grill.
Cl an it up
Clean your grill regularly. f you let grease build up in the drip pan, it
will cause uneven heat at the cooking surface and in severe cases it
could cause a grease fire. For best results, clean the cooking grid and
the drip pan while the grill is still warm.
Don’t blam it on th rain
You may cook on the grill in any weather. f the temperature is
extremely hot or cold, it will slightly shorten or increase your
cooking time. The Holland grill is perfect for winter grilling, just add a
little time and keep that lid closed.
Th rmom t r
Keep in mind that the temperature reading on the lid thermometer will
not be as hot as the temperature of the cooking surface due to it’s
location.
