your grill well away from areas where children play. Do not store items that may interest chil-
dren in or around the grill, in the cart, or in the masonry enclosure.
3. Never move the grill when hot. When in use, portions of the grill are hot enough to cause
severe burns.

PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL.
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
2. Ensure all tie-down wires have been removed from the burners.
3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Condi-
tions” for further details.)
4. Avoid wearing loose-tting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite.
5. Never touch the grill racks, hood or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare
hands while grilling.
6. Use an insulated glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Always open the grill lid
slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
7. The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the grill. Releasing fuel into a closed grill
before lighting will not make it light sooner or more efciently. It will only risk explosion and
personal injury or death. Never lean over a hot grill surface or look directly into the grill when
attempting to light.
8. Do not heat unopened food containers as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.
9. Do not use aluminum foil to line grill racks or drip pans. This will alter the airow or trap ex-
cessive heat in the control area and can melt control knobs and ignition modules. Such dam-
age is specically excluded from your warranty.
10. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
11. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause are ups. Internal res or damage caused
by them or by the grill being left unattended while cooking are not covered under the terms
and conditions of our warranty.
12. Never grill without the drip pan in place. Always ensure the drip pan is pushed all the way to
the back of the grill. Hot grease can leak downward and produce a re or explosion.
13. Grease is extremely ammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dis-
pose of it. The drip tray should be cleaned of grease on a regular basis.
14. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. (See IN-
DEX: “Leak Test Procedure” for further details.)
15. Never operate the grill while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
16. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf.
17. If any burner does not light or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs, open
the hood and wait ve (5) minutes before attempting to re-light.
18. Portable LP cylinders: Always shut off the main valve on the LP cylinder after each use.
19. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves and orices of a grill, disrupt-
ing the gas ow. This very dangerous condition can cause a re behind the control panel,
damaging the grill and risking personal injury. If your grill has been unused for a long time,
inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves and orices. (See INDEX: “Cleaning the Brass Burner”
for further details.)
IMpORTANT SAFETY pRECAUTIONS

Outdoor grills create more
heat than interior kitchen
ranges. That’s how they sear
and grill steaks and other
foods.
These high-performance
burners require a constant,
steady supply of fresh air to
mix with the fuel. Your Lynx
grill pulls air in through the
front and vents hot gases out
through the rear.
Using your grill in windy
conditions may disrupt the
front-to-back air ow. If, while
grilling with all burners on
Fig 2 - Air enters through the front
high and the hood closed,
you notice that the tempera-
ture gauge fails to rise ... be
careful. If wind has kept hot
gases from exiting the rear
of the grill the control panel
and knobs may have become
extremely hot.
Your Lynx grill features an
exclusive, patent-pending
Heat Stabilizer that will deect
wind and, in most cases,
prevent this situation.
But there are a few things you
can do to further prevent the
possibility of improper heat
buildup:
Fig 3 - Wind hitting the back of the
grill can disrupt proper exhaust.
►On breezy days, be
careful not to leave the front
hood down for more than 15
minutes when the burners are
on high. (Never leave the grill
unattended when in operation)
►If you suspect the grill is
overheating, using an oven
mitt, open the front hood.
Then adjust the burner control
knob to a lower setting.
►Install your grill with a
wind break behind it.
►Orient the grill so prevail-
ing winds are not blowing into
the rear of the grill.
IMPORTANT!
GRILLING IN WINdY CONdITIONS
Please Note: Any damage
caused from use in windy
conditions, such as melted
knobs or igniter wires, or
control panel discolor-
ation from heat buildup,
is excluded from warranty
coverage.

USING YOUR LYNx GRILL
Grilling requires high heat for
searing and low, controlled
heat for slow cooking.
Thinner cuts of food are often
cooked at a “HI” heat setting
with the lid open.
On the other hand, large,
thick pieces of meat or
poultry are often rst seared
at the high setting and then
grilled at a lower setting ...
sometimes with the lid closed
… achieving the best results
in the middle of the food
without burning the outside.
Some foods are cooked using
direct heat and some using
indirect heat.
Your Lynx grill features a
variety of professional-level
burners and tools for meeting
the wide variety of cooking
challenges. We will reveal
how these features work for
you. So please read and
enjoy!
Depending on the model you chose, your Lynx grill may be equipped with up to three different
burner types. The operation of each type varies, so it is important to understand all three.
Main Brass
Burner
This heavy-duty,
durable brass burner
is the standard main
burner found under
the briquette trays.
ProSear™ 2
Burner
This advanced in-
frared burner pro-
vides high-intensity
infrared heat for
searing foods and
sealing in avor.
Rotisserie Burner
This infrared burner spans the back of the
cooking area and provides consistent heat
for slow rotisserie cooking.
pRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
BEFORE YOUR FIRST
USE
There are a few must-check
safety precautions to consider
before you use your grill.
Please be sure that:
All packing materials and
tie-downs have been removed
from the burners. (See INDEX:
“Unpacking and Assembly” for
further details.)
You have fuel connected.
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”
for further details.)
You have electric
connected. (See INDEX: “Electric
Requirements” for further details.)
A qualied plumber has
performed a leak test on all
the ttings that supply fuel to
your grill.
►IF YOUR GRILL DOES
NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5
SECONDS you may need
to purge the line. (See
INDEX: “Purging the Gas Line”
for further details.)
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new
grilling season you should
remove the grilling racks and
check the burners, venturis,
orices and valves for obstruc-
tions.
Spiders and insects often nest
in these areas of the grill and
can disrupt air ow, causing
damage to the grill and
personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and
ttings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.
