Natural Gas Connections and Service Regulators
Above 1/2 psi.
Prior to 1998, all residual gas service regulators were
set with an outlet pressure of 7 inches water column.
In the 1998 edition of NFPA 54, the National Fuel Gas
Code, a change was made allowing service regulators
of 2 and 5 psi.
With this change it was also required that an in line
regulator be connected between the service regulator
and the appliance regulator if the 2 or 5 psi system is
used. This additional regulator is not supplied with the
product.
It is possible for a consumer, making the connection
themselves, or a plumber, not checking, to tap into a 2
or 5 psi line. If a pressure of 2 psi or greater is supplied
to the appliance regulator on certain grills it will shut
down and not deliver any gas to the grill. Other
concerns are the quick disconnect socket and hose
which are only rated to 1/2 psi.
If the quick disconnect socket, hose, and grill are
properly connected and still not getting gas, delivery
pressure needs to be verified. If pressure is greater than
1/2 psi, make sure that an in line regulator is present.
Once the grill has been over-pressured, the regulator
may or may not have been damaged. The best
practice is to replace the regulator.
Do not attempt to repair or alter the hose/qucik
disconnect for any “assumed” defect. Any
modification to this assembly will void your
warranty and create the risk of a gas leak and fire.
Use only authorized replacement parts supplied by
manufacturer.

First Time Use
Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put
together properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising
material from all grill surfaces before first use. We
recommend operating your grill on its highest setting for 15-
20 minutes prior to your first use. This aids in removing the
oils used during manufacturing.
Lava Rock / Briquettes
This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to
be used with flame tamers or heat distribution plates to
provide more even heating, improve the cleaning process,
and reduce flare-ups. The addition of after market lava
rocks, charcoal, or briquettes of any type will cause poor
combustion and increase the likelihood of a grease fire, and
is not recommended. Using briquettes, lava rock, or
charcoal in this grill will void your warranty. For extra
smoke flavor, we recommend using a smoker box with wood
chips.
Temperature - Convective Grills ONLY.
The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill
measures air temperature. The air temperature inside your
grill will never be as hot as the temperature at the cooking
surface.
Pre-Heating Your Grill
Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated to
provide optimum performance. Pre-heat the grill on high for
10-15 minutes – longer if weather conditions require. Please
refer to the lighting instructions inside the Product Guide if
you have questions about how to light your grill. A match-
light chain and hole is provided for your convenience.
GRILLING GUIDE – Getting Started
466225712 • 5

Outdoor grilling is really quite simple. You'll succeed with
burgers, dogs, or steaks usually on your very first try. With
experience, you will learn how to work with your grill,
creating more imaginative meals all the time. This
knowledge makes up the art of grilling. Before you start
grilling, organize your food according to cooking technique
and required cooking time, and optimize the use of your
grilling area.
Direct Cooking
Direct cooking involves grilling your meat directly over high
heat. It is perfect for searing steaks, chops, and other
smaller pieces of meat and vegetables that quickly make
their way to the table.
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking utilizes select burners to circulate heat
throughout the grill, without direct contact between the
meat and the flame. The meat is placed over the burner
that is 'off'. This method is generally used to slow cook
large cuts of meat and poultry. A pan can be placed
underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings,
and helps minimize clean-up.
Rotisserie Cooking
Rotisserie cooking is best for 'round' meat, such as large
roasts, whole poultry, and pork. It generally requires an
accessory motor and spit rod that allows the meat to be
turned at a constant speed. Rotisserie cooking is best done
in front of a special rotisserie burner, or utilizing an indirect
cooking burner arrangement. A pan can be placed
underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings,
and helps minimize clean-up.
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.
Separate: Separate raw meats 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.

Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it
is recommended to remain outside with your grill while
cooking. Grilling can be affected by many external
conditions. In cold weather, you will need more heat to
reach an ideal cooking temperature, and grilling may take
longer. The meat's internal temperature and thickness can
also affect cooking times. Cold and thicker meats will take
longer to cook.
Internal Meat Temperatures
Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has
reached safe internal temperatures.
Sauces
Sauces containing sugars and fats can cause flare-ups, and
your food may burn. In general, apply these sauces during
the final 10 minutes of cooking. Keep in mind, use of
excessive sauces or glazes will also require extra cleaning
afterwards.
Marinades and Rubs
To enhance the flavor of grilled foods, a liquid marinade or
dry rub can be used prior to cooking. Meat can be either
soaked or injected with liquid marinade up to 24 hours
prior to grilling. Dry rubs can be applied directly to the
meat immediately before grilling.
GRILLING GUIDE – Tips & Tricks Wood Chips
For extra smoke flavor when grilling, try adding wood
chips. Soak the chips in water for approximately 30
minutes before adding to a smoke box or pan. Place smoke
box or pan on top of the cooking grate above the flame.
Turn grill on high until the wood starts to smoke. Reduce
heat to desired temperature for cooking, and place food on
cooking grate as desired. Close lid to retain more smoke.
Hardwood varieties that work particularly well with grilled
foods include Alder, Apple, Cherry, Grapevines, Hickory,
Mesquite, Oak, Rosemary and Sassafras.
Skewers
Metal skewers should be flat, with long handles. Round
skewers allow food to roll when turned, so it may not cook
as evenly. Use metal skewers when cooking meat kabobs.
Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for an hour
before use, and are best used for quick cooking foods such
as vegetables and fruits.
Utensils
Use tongs or a spatula to handle the food instead of a fork,
and don't turn the food too
often. Piercing the food
with a fork will release
juices that you want in
the meat, and may
cause flare-ups.

GRILLING GUIDE – Cleaning Your Grill 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.
Storing Your Grill
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store grill 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,
disconnected, and removed from grill. Never store LP
cylinder indoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow the 'Cleaning
the Burner Assembly' instructions in the Use and Care
section of the Product Guide.
Critters
Spiders like to make their homes in the venturi tubes of
grills. These must be inspected and cleaned regularly to
ensure there are no blockages. Refer to the Use and Care
portion of this Product Guide for complete information.
Why Clean?
We've all heard the saying, “an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.” This is great advice when it comes
to keeping your grill clean.
Routine Care
Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary,
as grill fires can occur when grease and
food debris collect in the bottom of the grill.
After each use, remove any remaining
food particles from the cooking grate and
inside of the grill using a grill brush. Do
this after the grill has cooled down, yet is
still warm. It is much easier to clean food
particles while warmth is still present, than
after the food particles have completely
cooled and hardened. This grill is not
designed to be 'burned off' by closing the
lid and turning the burners on High for an
extended time. The excessive heat
generated can cause leftover grease to
catch fire, and can cause permanent
damage to your grill.
General Cleaning
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use 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 glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder
for stubborn stains.
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive
cleaner and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft non-
abrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain
conditions. This can be caused by environmental conditions
such as chlorine or salt water, or improper
cleaning tools such as wire or steel
wool. It can also discolor due to heat,
chemicals, or grease build-up. To
maintain your grill's high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent
and warm water, or use a stainless
steel grill cleaner. 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.

Connecting Your Grill to the Natural Gas Source.
1. A professionally-installed shut-off valve between the
supply piping and the socket is recommended, but
not required, by the National Fuel Gas Code. Socket
connection must be made outdoors.
2. Coat the gas supply pipe nipple with gas resistant
pipe dope or approved teflon tape. Screw socket
onto gas supply pipe (house gas source) as shown in
Figure A below, and wrench-tighten.
Quick disconnect socket House piping
Figure A
3. Pull back the sleeve on the quick disconnect socket
and insert the unattached end of the gas hose into
the socket. Release the sleeve and continue pushing
the hose into the socket until the sleeve snaps into
the locked position. See Figure B.
Figure B
Gas hose Sleeve
4.When the quick disconnect socket and the gas hose
are connected, a valve in the socket opens
automatically to permit full gas flow. When the gas
hose is disconnected, the valve in the socket instantly
and positively shuts off the flow of gas. Because the
valve in the socket positively shuts off the flow of
gas, the grill can be disconnected from the gas
source by disconnecting the gas hose from the quick
disconnect socket. The socket should be left
attached to the gas source (house piping). Figure C,
below, shows properly connected hose and socket.
CAUTION
The quick disconnect socket should never be
connected to the grill. Direction of gas flow is
indicated on the socket.
Figure C
With proper assembly, the gas hose cannot be
removed without pushing the quick disconnect sleeve
back. To disconnect, push sleeve back and pull plug
out of sleeve (this automatically shuts off gas).
Please Note: Hose and assembly are C.S.A. listed for
natural gas, manufactured gas, mixed gas and for
liquefied petroleum and for LP Gas-Air mixtures on
basis of 0.64 specific gravity for 1000 BTU’s per
cubic foot of gas at 0.3 in. water column pressure
drop. Only ANSI Z21.54 approved hoses should be
used with this grill.
The appliance and its individual shut off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing on that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
WARNING
Do not use hard metal piping of any kind to
connect this type of grill to natural gas source. Use
only hose specified by manufacturer. Using hard
metal piping or convoluted metal tubing is an
unsafe practice. Movement of the grill can cause
breakage of metal pipe.
WARNING
Do not use flexible gas hose supplied for Drop-in
Models.
This unit should be hard plumbed using components
that meet National Fuel Gas Code.
