replacement.
8. If bubbles appear at a connection point, disconnect and reconnect, making sure the
connection is secure.
9. Retest with solution.
10. If you continue to see bubbles, contact the customer service center.
Lighting Your Grill
Danger: Failure to open lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners or not waiting 5 minutes to allow gas to clear if the
barbecue does not light ,may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING : Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent
possible bodily injury.
Main Burner
1. Open lid while lighting burners.
WARNING : Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make sure there are no
obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A
clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
2. All control knobs must be in the “OFF” position.
3. Open cylinder valve.
4. Ignite only the burners you wish to use, using the same method for each:
Automatic ignition: Push desired burner control knob and rotate slowly about 1/4 counter-clockwise until a click is
heard. Push button ignition: Push and turn desired burner control knob to the “High” position and then push the ignitor
button. The burner should light. If the burner does not light, return the control knob to the “OFF” position immediately.
Wait five minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure. After burner is lit, repeat the procedure with any other
burner desired.
5. Adjust control knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.

16
GPC2700J
Owner’s Manual
Using the Lighting Stick to Light the Main Burners
1. Remove the cooking grid and heat plate from the burner you wish to light.
2. Insert a match into theend of lighting stick. Light the match.
3. Once lit, place the flame through the hole on grill body to reach the burner ports.
(As in the fig. shown on right).
4. Press the control knob and rotate it counter clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position.
The burner should light immediately. To light up other burners, repeat the same
procedure for the adjacent burner and continue in sequence until all desired
burners are lit.
5. Replace cooking grid and heat plate and adjust burners to the desired cooking
temperature.
Precautions
1. After lighting, please observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit.
2. If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF”. Open lid to let the gas clear for at least
5 minutes before re-lighting.
3. Before cooking on the grill for the first time, operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the
gas turned on “HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and
painted finish.
4. Clean the grill after each use. DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts of the grill and
cause a fire.
Side Burner
1. Open lid while lighting the burner. Lid must remain open while burner is lit.
2. Control knob must be in the “OFF” position.
3. Open cylinder valve.
4. Automatic ignition: Push desired burner control knob and rotate slowly about 1/4 counter-clockwise until a click is
heard. Push button ignition: Push and turn desired burner control knob to the “High” position and then push the ignitor
button. The burner should light. If the burner does not light, turn the knob to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five

Flare-ups
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat p late(s) or burner(s) and ignite. Some flaring is
normal and desirable, as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-
ups is necessary, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental
fire.
WARNING: Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down (LOW) or OFF, if
flare-ups intensify.
Shutting Off Burners
• Always turn the control knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, then press and turn to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob
without pressing it. This could damage the valve.
• Promptly turn the gas supply to the “OFF” position at the propane cylinder.
• Allow grill to completely cool and then close the lid of the grill.
Excess flow safety valve reset procedure
• The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leak. However,
unsafe practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
• A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner
control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
• This procedure is effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a Natural
Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank".
• To ensure the procedure is performed safely and successfully, please carefully follow the instructions below.
1. Close the LP tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4. Open the lid of the grill.
5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.
6. Wait at least 1 minute.
7. Turn burner control knobs OFF.

Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow your grill to completely cool off before covering it to prevent corrosion from condensation
Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control
dial and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will
damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
Recommended cleaning materials -
Mild dishwashing liquid detergent
Nylon cleaning pad
Paper clip
Compressed air
Hot water
Wire brush
Putty knife/scraper
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.
Outside surfaces
Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution to clean. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Inside surface
If the inside surface of the grill lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked on grease has turned to carbon and is flaking
off. Clean thoroughly with a strong solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse with water and allow it to completely dry.
Interior of grill bottom – Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with a dishwashing detergent and
hot water solution. Rinse with water and let dry.
Cooking Grids – The porcelain grates have a glass-like composition that should be handled with care. Use a nylon cleaning
pad or brush and a mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non-abrasive scouring powder can
be used on stubborn stains. Rinse with water.
Heat Plates – Clean residue with wire brush and wash with soapy water. Rinse with water.
Grease Cup – Periodically empty the grease cup and clean with a dishwashing detergent and hot water solution.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
1. Turn gas off at the control knobs and propane tank.
2. Remove cooking grids and heat plate.
3. Remove grease cup.
4. Remove burner by unscrewing nut from beneath burner “foot” using a screwdriver and pliers.
5. Lift burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
6. Clean inlet (venturi) of burner with small bottle brush or compressed air.
7. Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of burner surface.
8. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip).
9. Inspect burner for damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Reinstall burner. Check to
ensure the gas valve orifices are correctly positioned, pointing straight into burner inlet (venturi). Also, check position of
spark electrode.
