service. All leaks must be corrected immediately.
Open the valve (shut-off or ‘ON’ LP tank). Test for leaks by applying liquid
soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate gas leak.

12
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
Burner Adjustments
Every grill is thoroughly checked for proper lighting and burner flame
pattern. Conditions at the location may necessitate minor adjustment of the
burner air intake, if the flames are not steady/stable as shown in the figure.

1"
AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENT
SCREW

13
The flame should be full length of the burner, blue and stable. The air intake
should be adjusted ONLY if the flame is lifting off of the ports or has yellow
tipping.
If flame is lifting, turn the air shutter clockwise reducing this intake. The
screw should be loosened before turning the air shutter.
If the flame has yellow tipping, the air shutter should be turned counter
clockwise allowing more air in. This will stabilize the flame. Make sure to
tighten the screw, after adjustments are made. Remove the front panel as
shown (Page 17) in the diagram to access the burner front (air shutter).
In order to provide gas to the burner, the orifice must be inside the burner
venturi opening. Check to ensure that the burner is properly secured in the
front and back.
Low Flame Setting
Low flame setting is pre-adjusted at the factory. It is not likely that low
flame needs adjustments in the field. If due to gas valve changes low flame
has to be adjusted, see figure for instruction.
Hold the stem tight and with a straight screwdriver, turn the screw inside the
stem until flame is adjusted to size desired.

Manual Lighting
If grill or Rotisserie burners do not light with igniter, they can be lit
manually.
Grill: Hold a lighted match over the respective flash tube opening and
Turn the burner valve to the ‘HI/IGN’ position.
Rotisserie: Place a match near the IR burner with the burner knob in the
‘HI/IGN’ position.
Operation
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE IN
OPERATION.

15
Grill: Grill burners are controlled individually with a control knob.
After lighting, turn the knob to HI, LO or in between as desired.
Turn on as many burners as required.
The top cover may be closed during grilling.
Keep the top cover in the closed position during the pre heat
period.
Rotisserie: Turn the control knobs to HI.
Plug in the motor power cord to a properly grounded receptacle.
Rotisserie cooking can be done with grill burners as well as the
Rotisserie burner ‘ON’.
The skewer slides in from the side with the tip sliding into the
motor shaft adapter. The slot on the handle side should be on
the side support panel edge.
Use the prongs to hold the meat. Tighten thumbscrew on the
prong hubs to secure in place.
When ready, turn the switch on the motor box to the ‘ON’
position. The skewer will rotate slowly.
Stop the motor, before removing the skewer.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning: Your Bar-B-Q grill works better and lasts longer if properly
cleaned and maintained. Clean the grill immediately after every
use.
Turn grill off before starting to clean. Protect your hand with a
good mitt when cleaning the hot grill. Use a wire brush, dip in
water and scrub the grill to soften and loosen the food particles.
The food particles will fall into the crumb pan.
Do not use Aerosol cleaners on hot grill surface. Chemicals
may produce noxious fumes and may ignite on contact with the
hot surface.

16
Shield: Burner shields (Briquette holder) are made out of stainless
steel. After every use, allow the shields to cool down. Remove
and soak in water with a mild soap or detergent. Replace when
dry along with the briquettes.
Crumb Tray / Grease Pan:
Empty grease pan as required to prevent overflowing. After
use, remove the full width crumb pan and brush off the
contents. Clean with hot water and soap or detergent.
All stainless steel parts should be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent or
with a liquid cleanser especially for use on stainless steel. Never attempt to
clean stainless steel with steel wool, abrasive clothes or powders.
Maintenance
Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from
debris.
Visually check burner flames.
There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the
mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To
touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry
100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can
gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and
give the appearance of rust. For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite
is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the
direction of the grain. Never scrub the stainless steel with steel wool. Steel
particles left on the stainless steel will soon rust and give the appearance that
the parts are rusting.
The burners, control area, crumb pan, etc. should be kept clean at all times.
During prolonged non-use of the grill, spiders and insects can nest in areas

17
that will adversely affect the functioning of the grill. Check burner inlets,
orifice hood (gas inlet to burner), igniter, sparkers, etc. thoroughly and clean
before use.
