model. No modifications, additions or substitutions should be attempted.
•Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the
base of the barbecue.
•Inspect hose on a regular basis. If the hose is cracked, cut or damaged in any way, the appliance must
not be operated.
•For repair or replacement of regulator/hose assembly, contact your dealer or approved service centre.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
To ensure safe and efficient performance, this appliance should be inspected and cleaned at least once per
year or after any period of storage exceeding one month.
•Burners (see Figure 1a) may be removed and inspected for cracks and deterioration.
•Venturis (see Figure 1b) should be cleaned out using a bottlebrush to eliminate any blockage, insect
webs or debris.
•The hose should be inspected. See “Gas Supply Hose”.
•After reconnecting the hose, leak test as per “Leak Testing”.
•Burners should produce a uniform and stable blue flame from each flame port. Some traces of yellow
flame are considered normal.
•To clean interior, remove cooking grids (see Figure 2) and flavour plates (see Figure 3). Ensure that
burners do not fill with water during cleaning. Hard deposits can be removed with a non-metallic
brush and surfaces washed with soap and water.
•Exterior Finish - use a degreasing solution to clean, rinse surfaces thoroughly and use a stainless steel
polish to restore the finish.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Cooking Grids and Flavour Plates:
After you have finished cooking, prepare for the next meal by burning off any residue of food from the
cooking grids and flavour plates in the following manner:
•Remove all food from the grids and turn all the control knobs to the HIGH position. Leave for five (5)
to ten (10) minutes or until the smoking stops. Turn the gas valve off, then turn the control knobs off.
•Use a non-metallic brush or scrubber to clean the cooking grills -remember the barbecue may still be
hot.
•You do not have to wash the grills after each cooking, but if you wish, use a suitable degreasing soap,
then rinse thoroughly. Do not use an oven cleaner.
•For a thorough cleaning, wait until the barbecue is cold and remove the cooking grills for washing in
a suitable degreasing solution. The flavour plates may be removed and washed in a similar manner.
•The stainless drip pans may be removed and washed with the same degreasing solution.

•The grease tray is provided with a drain valve (see Figures 4a and 4b) that must be kept clean to

LEAK TESTING
All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested for gas leaks and the burners have been flame
tested. However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas fitting.
As a safety precaution:
•Test all fittings for leaks before using your gas barbecue.
•Test for leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
•DO NOT SMOKE!
•Never test for leaks with a lighted match or open flame.
•Test for leaks outdoors.
TO TEST FOR LEAKS
•Ensure the quick disconnect is installed properly to the gas supply.
•Check that appliance is turned off at the controls for each burner. Extinguish any open flame or
cigarettes in the area.
•Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
•Turn on gas supply.
•Brush the soap solution on each connection between the orifice and the quick disconnect.
•A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.
•If a leak is detected, shut off gas supply immediately. Any leak detected must be sealed before the
appliance can be used.
•If the leak persists, contact your barbecue dealer for assistance. DO NOT attempt to operate the

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure all burner knobs are in the OFF position. Connect the hose assembly to the natural gas
source.
Check all connections & hoses for leaks with a soap and water solution.
2. CAUTION: If hood is being used, open before attempting to light the grill.
3. Turn the “red” crossover ignition burner control knob (see Figure 5) to the HI position. Allow 3-5
seconds for natural gas to flow into the burner, and then press the igniter button several times to
light the burner.
If the burner fails to light with the igniter button after several attempts, turn the gas off, and wait five
(5) minutes. Turn on the gas and use long reach butane lighter or long match to light through the
ignition hole located on the right hand side of the grill body (see Figure 5).
4. Once the crossover burner is lit, any main burner may be lit by simply turning the control knob for
each burner to the HI position.

5. Pre-Heating your BBQ - because our BBQ’s have such high BTUs, it is important that the
operator only have the Main Gas Valves on the HIGH position for 10 minutes maximum. If the
operator doesn’t follow these instructions, he/she may cause permanent damage to the BBQ and
will not be warranted by the manufacturer
SHUT-DOWN
1. Close the natural gas source and allow burners to burn any remaining gas in the line and manifold.
2. Turn all the control valves to the OFF position.
