If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.7. Light adjacent burners in sequence by pushing control knob in and turning to position. Quick Start TipsPreheating for different types of grilling:• Sear - preheat with all burners set to HI for maximum cooking grate temperatures.• Barbecue - preheat with all burners set to LO for a lower starting grate temperature for grilling foods slower.• Indirect grilling - preheat one burner only on the side opposite were the food will be placed to allow the slowest and lowest grilling for larger cuts of meat.• Roasting - place the warming rack on the lower supports and use burner(s) directly under the food on LO or indirectly for lower temperature cooking. This will allow more heat to circulate around the food during grilling.Lowering the temperature of the cooking grate:• Control knob - turn the control knob to the LO setting for the lowest temperature setting.• Control knob - for the lowest cooking grate temperatures the food can be grilled indirectly with the burner under the food in the OFF position and a single burner away from the food on LO.• During grilling the grill can be cooled down faster by lifting the lid while adjusting the control knobs to a lower setting.Adding a smoked flavor while grilling:• DO NOT USE wood chunks on a Saber grill cooking grate.• Wood chips or pellets can be used by placing them between the cooking grate bars. Soaking the wood chips for a minimum of 15 minutes prior to use will extend the smoking time.• A smoker box (sold separately) can be used by filling it with wood chips and placing it directly on the cooking grate with the burner on the HI or LO setting.General Grill CleaningDo not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease andsmoke for paint or porcelain. Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lidand bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry.DO NOT APPLY a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. DO NOT USE citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers, or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder on stubborn stains.• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

CAUTION
CONTROL PANELSPIDER ALERT!VALVESPIDER WEBSBURNERINSIDE BURNERCONTROL PANELIf you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the burners.In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s burner tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period. General Grill Cleaning (con’t.)· Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics. Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.Cleaning the Burner AssemblyFollow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill. 1. Turn gas OFF at control knobs and gas source.2. Remove cooking grates and emitters.3. Remove retaining clips and carryover tubes from rear of burners.4. Using a flat blade screwdriver pry off the electrode from each burner. Electrode should remain in burner box.5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.12.

SPIDER AND WEBSINSIDE BURNER TUBECorrectburner-to-valveengagement6Storing Your Grill• Clean cooking grates.• Cover grill when stored outdoors. Choose from a cover offered by the manufacturer.• When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instruction before starting grill.6. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you: (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light-weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times. (B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass brush). Run the brush through each burner tube several times. (C) Wear ear protection - use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.9. Check burner for damage due to normal wear and corrosion. Some holes many become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found, replace burner.10. Re-attach electrode to burner.11. Carefully replace burners. VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must re-engage valve opening.

The outdoor kitchen must be disconnected from thenatural gas supply piping system during any pressureThe outdoor kitchen must be isolated from the naturalgas supply piping system by closing all individual
shut-off valves during any pressure testing of the
testing of the system in excess of ½ PSIG (3.5 kPa).
WARNING
system equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.5 kPa). Never connect the grill to an unregulated gas supply.It is recommended that you use a certified or licensedgas technician to make all natural gas connections.Prior to construction, confirm with your dealer if anypermits are required to comply with the state and local codes for natural gas installation.
IMPORTANT
To allow proper heating performance of the grill,confirm that your home natural gas supplypressure is sufficient to maintain 4.0” W.C. manifoldpressure at the appliance (measured while it is inoperation). A home natural gas supply pressure of7”±1.5” W.C. entering the appliance regulator isdesirable to achieve 4.0” W.C. outlet pressure at theappliance regulator. If the grill isoperating at a gas pressurelower than 4.0” W.C., the resulting BTU rate for each willdecrease resulting in poor heating performance.Decreased gas pressure can also make the appliancemore susceptible to blow-out by wind. A certified gastechnician can confirm if your home’s natural gas supplypressure is acceptable.
CAUTION
The grill model R50SB1517 and model R67SB1017 are setfor use with natural gas. Both appliances are designed forconversion to LP gas also.CONVERSION TO LP GAS MUST BE PERFORMED BYA CERTIFIED GAS TECHNICIAN.LP conversion kit model A00AA5517 must be used (soldseparately). Step 1: Correctly Sizing the Natural Gas Supply LineIn most cases, a pipe diameter of ½” to ¾” is sufficientto connect your outdoor kitchen to your home’s natural gassupply system. The correct pipe size depends on the following: 1. the overall length of your home’s natural gas supply pipe run 2. the connection point of your outdoor kitchen into your home’s natural gas supply system with respect to placement of natural gas appliances in your home 3. the desired distance of the outdoor kitchen from your home’s natural gas supply 4. the combined total BTU rate of all the natural gas appliances in your home.A certified gas technician will be able to recommend theappropriate gas pipe size and length to connect your outdoorkitchen to your home gas supply. The BTU rate of the grill is24,000 BTU/hr for model R50SB1517 and 32,000 BTU/hr formodel R67SB1017.Step 2: Placement of the Manual Shut-off ValveIt is recommended that a manual shut-off valve that issized correctly for the gas supply pipe be installed outsidethe kitchen enclosure. This valve will allow safe access toshut off the natural gas supply to the outdoor kitchen in theevent of an emergency. A convenient location for the safetyvalve is at the rear of the kitchen enclosure. This allows foreasy access to connect the gas piping in the enclosure to theshut-off valve.If a gas supply stub-up is used inside the kitchen enclosure,an external shut-off valve close to the grill is still recommended.INSTALLATION CON’T.13 4. Connecting the Natural Gas Supply Line:Natural Gas Connections and Service Regulators Above 1/2 psi:Prior to 1998, all residential gas service regulators were set with an outlet pressure of 7 inches water column. In the 1998 edition of NFPA 54, the National Fuel Gas Code, a change was made allowing service regulators of 2 and 5 psi. With this change it was also required that an in line regulator be connected between the service regulator and the appliance regulator if the 2 or 5 psi system is used. This additional regulator is not supplied with the product. It is possible for a consumer, making the connection themselves, or a plumber, not checking, to tap into a 2 or 5 psi line. If a pressure of 2 psi or greater is supplied to the appliance regulator on certain grills it will shut down and not deliver any gas to the grill. The included quick disconnect socket and hose should not be used at pressures above 1/2 psi.If the grill is properly connected and still not getting gas, delivery pressure needs to be verified. If pressure is greater than 1/2 psi, make sure that an in line regulator is present. Once the grill has been over-pressured, the regulator may or may not have been damaged. The best practice is to replace the regulator.

4. Connecting the Natural Gas Supply Line (cont’d): NOTE: A licensed plumber should be used to install the gas supply line to the grill. The gas supply line from your home should be routed to the right rear corner of the grill inside the grill enclosure. It is recommended that hard piping be used to connect to the inlet of the natural gas appliance regulator. Constant movement of flexible gas lines could cause fatiguing of the flexible line and result in gas leakage. If hard piping is not used for the home supply line, any flexible gas lines must be supported within the enclosure to prevent constant movement and fatiguing. Prior to installing the grill in the enclosure: 1. Turn the home gas source to the OFF position. 2. Remove the plastic protective cap from the ½”pipe fitting connection found at the bottom of the right rear corner of the grill (see Figure 5 ). 3. Apply pipe joint compound (not provided) to the ½” pipe fitting connection. The pipe joint compound used should be resistant to all gasses. 4. Connect the natural gas appliance regulator (provided) to the ½”pipe fitting connection taking care to connect the outlet side of the regulator to the pipe fitting connection (see Figure 6 ). The inlet and outlet sides of the regulator are noted by markings on the rear of the regulator body. Figure 6Side View

½” Pipe FittingRegulator½” Pipe FittingFigure 5Side ViewINSTALLATION CON’T.14

4. Connecting the Natural Gas Supply Line (con’t.): During installation to the pipe, make certain that the regulator is rotated to align the rear of the regulator body with the right side wall of the grill (see Figure 7 ). This will ensure that there is no interference between the regulator and the grill mounting bracket used in the enclosure. 5. The grill is now ready to be installed in the enclosure. Take care not to damage the regulator during installation. Two persons are required to lift the grill and place in the enclosure. After installing the grill in the enclosure: 1. Connect the home gas supply line to the inlet side of the natural gas appliance regulator by following the recommended connection methods noted above. Apply pipe joint compound (not provided) to the inlet piping prior to connecting to the regulator. 2. Confirm all grill control knobs are turned to OFF. 3. Turn ON the home gas source. 4. Proceed to step 5, Leak Testing. NOTE: It is recommended that a manual shut-off valve be installed outside the grill enclosure (see Figure 8).Natural Gas RegulatorGas Inlet PipeEnclosureFigure 7Side ViewEnclosureGas Inlet PipeTo Gas SystemDedicated ManualShut Off ValveTrim FlangesFigure 8Top ViewINSTALLATION CON’T.15

5. Leak Testing: 1. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF. 2. Turn ON the home gas source. 3. Use a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated. (see Figure 9). 4. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close main gas supply and re-tighten all connections. If leaks cannot be stopped do not try to repair. Contact licensed plumber for correction. 5. The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing on that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5kPa). 6. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa).Natural Gas RegulatorGas Inlet PipeFigure 9Side ViewINSTALLATION CON’T.16
