THIS GAS BARBEQUE IS CERTIFIED UNDER CANADIAN AND AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS, CAN/CGA-1.6b-98 AND ANSI
Z21.586-1998 RESPECTIVELY FOR OUTDOOR GAS GRILLS AND SHOULD BE INSTALLED to conform with local codes. In absence
of local codes, install to the current CAN1-B149.2 Propane Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
in the United States.
If a rotisserie motor is used, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or, in absence of local codes, with the
current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the United States.
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this barbecue. Replacement pressure regulators and hose
assemblies must be specified by the manufacturer.
The regulator supplied with this unit has a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with a Sherwood
#3349 QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has
been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to attain full flow to the barbecue, the valves must be in the
off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
PROPANE CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS: A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane sup-
plier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) or the US Department of Transportation (DOT).
This appliance has been designed for use with a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief
device having direct communication with the vapour space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapour
withdrawl and the cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate an OPD (overfill protec-
tion device).

CYLINDER CONNECTION: Ensure that the gas regulator hose is kink free.
Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder fuel valve. Insert the black QCC1 regulator
nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve. Hand tighten clockwise. Do not use tools. Leak test all
joints prior to using the barbecue. A leak test must be performed annually, and each
time a cylinder is hooked up, or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
PROPANECYLINDERINSTALLATION: Set cylinder into the base. Ensure
that tank valve faces away from the barbecue. Lower the tank mounting bracket onto
the cylinder and tighten with wing nut.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the hose is routed around the front side of the tank to
maintain proper clearance to the underside of the unit.
NATURAL GAS HOOK-UP: This natural gas barbecue is supplied with a 10ft
supply hose (complete with a quick disconnect) designed for natural gas and certified
for outdoor use. Piping and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied.
The quick disconnect must not be installed in an upward direction and a readily accessi-
ble manual shut-off valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to, the quick dis-
connect as is feasible. These connections must be made by a licensed gas
installer. Leak test all joints prior to using the gas grill.
Must be done before initial use, annually and whenever any gas components are replaced or serviced.
1.Turn all burners controls to off. Turn supply valve on.
2.Brush a half and half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints of the regulator, the hose, and its connections.
3.Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either tighten the loose joint or replace the part with one recommended by the dealer.
4.If the leak cannot be stopped, shut off the gas supply, disconnect it and have the barbecue inspected by your gas
supplier or dealer. Do not use the appliance until the leak has been corrected.

Check whether burner will light with match. If YES, turn gas to off, ensure
the electrode wire is connected to the ignitor check for spark at electrode.
Bend the tab to adjust the gap If necessary. The gap should be 1/4”. If NO,
check fuel gauge for sufficient gas. Check that valve is on. Check that gas
line has no kinks.
Ensure that the barbecue is being pre-heated prior to each use. Ensure that
the barbecue is cleaned regularly. Check that the sear bars are clean and
installed correctly. Check that the grease tray is clean so that grease can run
into drip pan.
DO NOT LINE ANY INTERIOR COMPONENTS WITH ALUMINUM FOIL.
Natural – Ensure supply valve is in full open position. Pipe must be sized
according to installation code.

CLEANING
Make sure that the burners are turned off prior to clean up. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces.
CLEANING THE GREASE TRAY AND DRIP PAN:Slide the tray out for easy clean up. Clean both the pan and the
tray frequently (every 4-5 uses) to avoid grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings pass through the tray and into the drip
pan, located under the barbecue. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard. Never operate your barbecue without a grease
tray in place. Always remove tray from appliance for cleaning. Extreme caution must be exercised when cleaning by hand. It rec-
ommended that a soft scrub brush be used for this purpose.
CLEANING ENAMELLED AND STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES: Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these
parts. Porcelain enamelled components must be handled with care. The baked-on finish is glass-like. If struck, it will chip!
Touch up enamel paint is available through your local dealer. Surfaces should be cleaned when warm to the touch with warm
soapy water. To clean stainless steel parts, use a stainless steel cleanser or a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use steel wool.
Stainless steel parts will discolour when heated, usually to a golden or brown colour. This discolouration is normal and will not
affect the performance of the unit.
CLEANING INSIDE THE BARBECUE: Use a paper towel to wipe down the insides of the lid only. This is best done
while the metal is still warm. Never attempt to clean the internal components of the barbecue with a rag or paper towels. This
should only be completed with the soft scrub brush where your hand is away from all sharp and hot edges. Do not use oven
cleaner to clean any part of this barbecue.
COOKING
When lit for the first time, the barbecue will emit a slight odour. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the “burn-in” of
internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. Simply run our barbecue on high for
approximately 1/2 hour.
PREHEATING: When searing Foods, preheating is recommended by operating main burners on the high position for
approximately 10 minutes.
COOKING: Food cooked for a short period of time (fish, vegetables) may be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid
closed will ensure higher, more even temperatures that will reduce cooking time and cook meat more evenly. Food that has
cooking time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, may be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the food place-
ment). Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content, may create flare-ups. Either trim some fat or reduce temperatures to
prevent this. Should a flare-up occur, move food away from flames, reduce heat. Leave the lid open.
ANNUAL CHECK
TURN OFF THE GAS at the source and disconnect BEFORE SERVICING.
1. This barbecue should be inspected at least annually. After a lengthy storage, the barbecue should be checked for
gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME. DO NOT USE IF A GAS LEAK IS DETECTED.
2 Visually check the burner flames. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which
may not be burning or are not burning properly. Ensure the insect screens are free of dust, insects or any other debris.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT: The air shutter is factory set and should not have to be adjusted under normal
conditions. However, some extreme field conditions may exist that require adjustment.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED GAS INSTALLER!
DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS WHEN CLEANING.
3. The barbecue area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids.
4. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder
enclosure free and clear from debris.
