Here are a few things you should know before ring up your grill for the rst time.
USING YOUR GRILL
When to Smoke
•Smoking provides a unique avor that can be customized from light and mild to deep and rich according to personal preferences.
•Smoking results in very tender meat by cooking more slowly at lower temperatures.
•Smoking provides the freedom to pair your favorite wood avors with your favorite cuts of meat.
When to Gas Grill
•Gas grilling provides direct heat for traditional texture, forming a avorful and appealing crust.
•Gas grilling is for cooking small cuts of meat directly over hot, dry heat.
•Gas grilling can reach higher temperatures for browning and searing meat.
•Gas grilling is faster than smoking.
COOKING BASICS
Safe Handling: Always handle raw meat seperately from other ingredients.When marinating meat for longer than 30 minutes use the refrigerator. Never put cooked meats back into the
same dish it was marinated in.
Using the Meat Probes:
You can use the meat probes to monitor the internal temperature of your meat.The MP-C (Meat Probe Control) will automatically set the smoker to LO when the SET temperature has been
reached. However, the MP-C Probe will not control the grill when using gas.
Preparing to use the Smoker:
1. Choose the cuts of meat best suited for smoking
2. Choose the wood avor that complements the meat cut you have selected; sometimes a mixed variety
of pellets work best.
3. Pellet management—Be sure you have enough pellets for your cooking time. Smoker will use
approximately 1 lb of pellets per hour for low and slow cooking, and 3 lb of pellets per hour for
hot and fast.
4. Smoking tools to have on-hand:
•Spice Rub: start small, salt and pepper work great.
•Aluminum foil or butcher’s paper
•Two sets of tongs or forks (for raw and cooked meat)
•Spray bottle or baster
•Dry cooler
Planning:
Smoking is cooking to temperature not to time.The weather, types of meat and temperature of the grill can all aect the cooking time. Remember to plan for three time periods for a
successful smoke:
•Prep Time—Triming the meat, seasoning the meat, etc.
•Cook Time—Can depend on outside temperature and its eect on the grill. Lower cooking temperatures for longer periods of time generally allow
for more avorful and tender meat.
•Rest Time—Letting your meat rest before cutting into it will allow the avor and juices to reabsorb deep into the meat.Try resting your meat in a
Lifetime®Cooler without ice; you can wrap the meat and add a towel in the cooler to keep it warm and rested.

COOKING TIPS
•Don’t over-season your meat. Smoking adds a wonderful avor on its own. If you are new to smoking, start with just salt and pepper, then, with
experience, work your way up to more complicated seasonings.
•Resist the urge to constantly check the meat. Opening the lid frequently can result in heat-loss and not allow the cooking chamber to maintain a constant
temperature.
•Don’t over-load the cooking chamber. Leave room for smoke to envelope, and absorb into, the meat.
Hopper Clean-Out:
•It’s best not to store your pellets in the hopper for a long period of time.
If you aren’t going to be using the smoker portion of the grill for a while, empty the pellets from the hopper into a small, sealable, plastic bucket.This will keep the pellets dry and ready
for their next use.You can empty the pellets from the hopper by pulling the pellet dump. Place a bucket or bag underneath the hopper before pulling on the pellet dump.
Preparing to use the Gas Grill:
1. Preheat the gas grill on high for 10 minutes.
2.Try searing the meat over high direct heat to seal in juices.The sear uses a controlled are-up, which in turn creates a avorful crust.You can then turn
down the heat to complete the internal cooking.
Fusion Fuel™:
The Lifetime® grill is equipped with Fusion Fuel™, a patented design allowing the use of traditional gas grilling and smoking in one machine without compromising the functionality of
either.
Using Gas Grill and Smoker at the same time:
Temperature is key when smoking meats. Higher temperatures (approximately 250°F / 121°C and up) will produce less smoke than lower temperatures. For optimal smoke, it is best to
keep the temperatures below 250°F / 121°C.
The unique design of the Lifetime® Gas Grill and Pellet Smoker, allows the user to infuse smoke avor while gas grilling.
Here are some examples:
•Reverse Sear your Meat—Smoke the meat rst. Once the meat has taken on a good smoky avor, sear the meat using high temperature gas.
•Supplemental Heat—During cold weather, all smokers struggle to maintain temperatures. However, increasing your smoker temperature produces less
smoke.With the Lifetime® grill, you can supplement the temperature with gas without increasing your smoker temperature and reducing the smoke
output.
NOTE: if the gas grill is producing temperatures above 450°F / 232°C, then the smoker automatically goes into‘LO’(low mode). For safety reasons, if the grill reaches temperatures above
700°F / 371°C, the smoker function will automatically go into Shutdown mode.

GAS GRILL OPERATION
CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER
The LP gas supply cylinder used with this appliance must be constructed and marked in accordance with
the Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department ofTransportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres andTubes forTransportation of Dangerous Goods;
and Commission, as applicable; and provided with a listed overfilling prevention device. Use only 20-lb
cylinders (height: 18.11 inches, tank diameter: 9.84 inches, foot diameter: 8.03 inches) equipped with a
cylinder connection device (valve) compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
•The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Do not handle the gas cylinder
roughly or drop it. Do not use rusty or dented LP cylinders. Rust and dents can cause gas leaks and
result in personal injury, property damage or death.
•During the off season, when this appliance is not in use, the propane cylinder MUST be
disconnected. Storing this appliance indoors is ONLY permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the appliance. Propane cylinders, however, must be stored upright and outdoors out
of the reach of children and not in an enclosed area, e.g., a building, garage, shed, etc. Propane gas
cylinders must NEVER be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F. Do not store cylinders in
the grill/smoker cabinet.
•ALWAYS place the dust cap provided with the propane cylinder on the propane cylinder valve
outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only use the dust cap provided with the cylinder at the
time of purchase. All other types of caps or plugs may result in propane leakage.
•Before connecting the regulator valve coupling nut to the cylinder valve, ensure there is no debris
in the cylinder valve and coupling nut, outlet of the regulator valve or in the outlet of the burner and
burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly. ALWAYS keep the propane cylinder
valve closed and disconnected from the regulator valve during the off season and when the grill is
not in use.
•DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill.The propane cylinder
must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed overfilling prevention device.
Please use the proper cylinder orientation to provide vapor withdrawal.
NOTE: the propane cylinder must be fully upright for the cylinder to have vapor withdrawal only.
1.The handwheel on the LP (liqueed petroleum) cylinder must be closed before
connecting. Ensure the handwheel is completely shut o by turning it clockwise to a full stop.
2.Verify the temperature-control knobs on the grill are turned to the OFF position (straight
up).
3. Remove the cap from the propane tank’s cylinder valve and secure the regulator hose to the
propane tank by screwing the coupling nut onto the cylinder valve.Tighten until it stops. If you smell
gas, check the connections for leaks. See the User’s Guide for leak-testing instructions.The cylinder
supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal, i.e., upright. Firmly tighten by hand only. DO
NOT use tools.

DISCONNECTING THE LP TANK
1. Close the LP cylinder handwheel by turning clockwise to a full stop.
2.Turn the coupling nut counterclockwise until the regulator assembly detaches.
SHUTTING DOWN THE GRILL
1.Turn all grill control knobs clockwise to the OFF position.
2. Fully close tank cylinder handwheel by turning it clockwise to a full stop.
3. Close the grill lid.
NOTE: ALWAYS turn o the propane supply when this appliance is not in use by turning the
handwheel clockwise to a full stop.
CHECKING FOR PROPANE GAS LEAKS
Gas leak checks should ALWAYS be done before lighting the grill. After connecting the
regulator hose to the propane tank, check all connections and ttings on the propane tank
valve, gas hose and regulator for leaks with a water and soap solution.
To prevent re or explosion while testing for a leak:
•ALWAYS perform a leak test PRIOR to lighting the grill.
•DO NOT smoke while testing for leaks.
•ALWAYS perform leak tests outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
•DO NOT use any source of ame while testing for leaks.
•DO NOT use the grill until all leaks are corrected.
•If you are unable to correct a leak, disconnect the LP gas supply and call a gas appliance
service dealer.
PERFORMING LEAK TESTS
Propane is a naturally odorless gas. A chemical odorant, ethyl mercaptan (not so odorless),
is combined with the propane to help users detect leaks. If you smell rotten eggs, you likely
have a leak.Turn o the propane supply and perform a leak test.
•Leak tests indicate if the connections from the propane tank to the grill are secure.To
perform a leak test you’ll need the following:
•a small spray bottle
•1 part liquid dish soap to 3 parts water, enough solution for approximately 2–3 ounces
(70–90 ml). Mix well.
•Ensure all grill temperature control knobs are set to the OFF position (straight up).
•Open the propane tank cylinder valve by turning the handwheel counterclockwise to a
full stop.
•Spray the leak-test solution on all the gas-carrying connections and ttings, covering
them well. The presence of bubbles anywhere along the hose and connections indicates
a gas leak. If leaks are detected, or you smell or hear gas, shut o the gas supply valve
immediately.Then, repair or replace the defective part(s). DO NOT use the grill until all
leaks are corrected. Keep this solution on hand for future tests.

the right-most temperature control knob to HIGH.The burner should ignite.
NOTE: if ignition does not take place within 5 seconds, immediately turn the control knob to the OFF
position.Wait 5 minutes to give any released gas time to dissipate, then repeat the last step for this
burner.
5. Repeat the last step for the remaining three burners.
NOTE: if the rst burner lit, the remaining three should light automatically when the temperature-
control knobs are turned to HIGH.
NOTE: if the burner still does not light, verify there is gas in the propane tank. If you do not hear
clicking sounds when depressing the igniter, check to see if there is a battery. Replace if necessary.
6. Run the grill on HIGH for 15 minutes to ensure all factory residue has been burned o the grates,
burners, burner shields and cook box.
NOTE: subsequent heat cleanings kill bacteria and burn o food residue accumulated from the last
grilling.
1. Ensure all temperature knobs are in the OFF position (staight up).
2. Open the lid.
NOTE: ALWAYS keep the lid open while starting the grill or smoker.
3. Fully open the handwheel to the propane tank by turning the handwheel counter-clockwise until
it stops.
BEFORE USING YOUR NEW LIFETIME® FUSION FUEL™ GRILL & PELLET SMOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME
You should perform a rst-use heat cleaning before using your smoker/grill for the rst time. A rst-use heat cleaning sterilizes the interior surfaces of the cook box by burning o any
residue left behind from the manufacturing of the grill.The heat-cleaning process takes approximately 15 minutes. Ensure all packing materials have been removed from the smoker/pellet
grill before doing the following:
NOTE: this should be done whether you’re planning to grill or smoke your food.
