General Information and Instructions
Your new Member’s Mark Grill Island has been designed and manufactured to high quality standards. It will
provide you with many years of enjoyment with a minimal amount of maintenance. Please keep in mind the
following FOR YOUR SAFETY.
OPERATION
1. Your gas grill requires reasonable care during operation. It will be hot during cooking and cleaning.
You should never leave the grill unattended or move the grill when in use.
2. Children should never use your gas grill. Keep younger children and pets away when in use.
3. Only use your gas grill outside in a well-ventilated area. Never use indoor in any building, garage, shed,
or under any type of flammable canopy or overhang.
4. Ensure your grill is on level ground and the locking casters are locked before use.
5. Turn all gas valves off should the burners go out when cooking. Open the lid and wait 5 minutes before
relighting.
6. Do not lean over the grill or touch the edges of the firebox or lid when in use.
7. Turn the burners off, close the lid, and shut off the LP cylinder should a grease fire occur.
8. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this grill.
9. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

LP Gas and Cylinder Information
Your new gas grill operates on LP (Liquid Propane) Gas. It is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic when produced.
You can smell LP gas as it has been given an odor similar to rotten cabbage for your safety.
Your grill uses the newest and safest LP Gas Cylinder.
1. A listed O.P.D. (Overfill Protection Device) must be used. This prevents
accidental gas leaks caused by overfilling of the tank. Each tank contains
a float that closes the input valve when the tank is 80% full. This allows
room for the LP gas to expand in hot temperatures. A triangular hand
wheel distinguishes this type of tank.
2. O.C.C.1 Type 1 Quick Connect Valve – provides fast tank hook-ups and requires only to be tightened by
hand. Large external threads on the outlet part of the valve distinguish this.
In addition, the LP tank you use with your grill must meet the following requirements
1. Required Measurements: 12-1/2” (317mm) in diameter and 18-1/2” (472mm) in height.
2. 20-pound (9.1kg) propane cylinder.
3. Constructed and marked with U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) for the US or CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, for
Canada.
4. A safety release valve.
5. A means for vapor withdrawal.
6. A collar to protect the tank valve.
7. A bottom ring for mounting.
Triangular Hand Wheel
WARNING
Do not attempt to use a cylinder with any other type of connection device.

LP CYLINDER FILLING AND EXCHANGE
Some areas only allow you to exchange your empty cylinder for a replacement that is already full. Other areas
allow you to refill your cylinder. If you are in an area where you can refill your cylinder:
1. Use only a licensed dealer.
2. The dealer must first purge a new cylinder before filling.
3. Never fill a cylinder more than 80% full by weight. Volume will vary by temperature. An empty
cylinder weighs approximately 18 pounds (8.2kgs).
4. Be sure the LP dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.
5. Do not release LP gas into the atmosphere, as it can unexpectedly ignite when mixed with air.
6. Contact a LP dealer to remove LP gas from a cylinder.
7. Only exchange your cylinder for one with an O.P.D. feature as shown above.
LP CYLINDER LEAK TEST
A leak test should be done each time a cylinder is refilled or exchanged. Do
not smoke or use any type of flammable material in the area during this leak test.
Do not use an open flame to check for leaks.
1. Test outside in a well ventilated area.
2. Use a paintbrush and a solution of 50% liquid soap and 50% water. Do
not use cleaning agents and they can damage the fuel supply parts.
3. Brush liquid onto areas highlighted with arrows.
4. Bubbles indicate a leak.

OPERATING THE INFRARED SEARING BURNER
Searing food is used in many fine restaurants throughout the country. It can be a challenge though as it cooks at
a higher heat. When done correctly, searing will help hold in flavor making food more moist. Personal tastes
along with types and thickness of cuts of meat vary so experiment to get the results you desire. In general,
follow the hints below.
1. Searing should always be done at the beginning of cooking.
2. Turn on the infrared sear burner and preheat the grill for about 5 minutes.
The infrared sear burner should always be used on the Hi setting to sear food.
3. Infrared sear burners produce very hot and concentrated heat. Therefore,
we recommend searing each side of your food for no longer than 1 to 2
minutes at a time to avoid charring and flare-ups.
4. You can rotate food 90 degrees to obtain cross searing marks.
5. While infrared sear burners will vaporize most grease and drippings, it is a good idea to control flare-ups by
trimming excess fat and repositioning meat during cooking.
6. Remove food from the infrared sear burner immediately after searing. Cook on the main burner sections to
your desired preference.
TURNING OFF YOUR GRILL
1. Turn all burner control knobs to the “Off” position.
2. Turn off the gas supply at the LP tank by turning the valve clockwise.
Cleaning and Maintaining Your Grill
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES AND OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES– wash with a mild dish soap
and warm water. A cloth, soft brush, or plastic cleaning pad can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. The
stainless steel used in the construction of your grill is commercial grade. There are many specific stainless steel
cleaners available. Follow the manufacturer’s directions. Always polish in the direction of the lines. Do not
allow dirt and grease to accumulate. Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch the surface.
In addition, the following products and naturally occurring substances in the outdoors will damage all stainless
steel finishes. Use caution so that they do not come in contact with your gas grill. Immediately wash them off
and dry the stainless steel should they ever come in contact with your Gas Grill. These include, but are not
limited to, Pool Chemicals (chlorine and bromine), Lawn Fertilizer, Ice Melting Salts, Sea or Salt Water, Urine,
Bird Droppings, and Tree Sap.
WARNING
1. Do not clean any part of your barbecue grill in a self-cleaning oven.
2. Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive kitchen cleaners, cleaners that contain citrus products, or mineral
spirits.
3. Do not use any type of steel bristled brush.
4. Clean your grill regularly to prohibit grease build-ups and avoid a grease fire or excessive flare-ups.
5. Always wear protective gloves when cleaning your grill.
!
WARNING
Never use water to control flare-ups when using an infrared sear burner.
Water will crack the hot porcelain on the burner and damage your burner.

COOKING GRATES, WARMING RACK, AND HEAT DIFFUSERS – use a stiff brass brush. Wash with
warm water and mild dish soap as needed, rinse, and dry.
GREASE TRAY – check after each use. Remove and empty the Tray when half full. This can be washed with
warm water and mild dish soap.
ELECTRONIC IGNITER – visually inspect for cracks. Replace if a crack is found. Do not use water to
clean the igniter.
BURNERS – we recommend you clean your burners at least twice a year, or before use if the grill has not been
used in over one month.
CLEANING THE MAIN BURNERS
1. Ensure the LP gas is turned off at the LP cylinder.
2. Remove the cooking grates, heat diffusers, and grease tray.
3. Remove the Phillips Head screws located at the back end
of each burner.
4. Lift each burner up and out.
5. Clean the inside of the burner using a stiff wire. A
straightened coat hanger is one suggested tool. An
alternative way to clean the inside of the burner is using
compressed air. Always wear eye protection if using this
method. Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
6. Brush the outer surface of the burner.
WARNING
Small insects, such as spiders, are able to access the burner tubes. Sometimes they will build nests or spin
webs. In either case, this can block or reduce the amount of gas flowing through the burner. You will
usually see a smaller flame, or a flame that is mostly yellow rather than blue, coming from the burner when
this happens. Other signs include the gill not heating evenly, not reaching temperature, or burners not
igniting. In cases with severe blockage, this can cause the flame to burn backwards, and outside of the
burner tubes, which can cause damage to your grill and/or personal injury. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF
THE FLOW OF LP GAS AT THE CYLINDER BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL
CLOCKWISE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN. Wait for the grill to cool, and then clean all burners. Your
grill may be stored indoors only if the LP cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.
!
WARNING
For safe operation ensure the gas valve assembly orifice is inside the burner tube before using your grill.
See figure. If the orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the burner may cause explosion and /or fire
resulting in serious bodily injury and /or property damage.
