For Your Safety
Basic Safety Guidelines:
It is important to follow these rules to avoid fire hazard, property damage or bodily injury
from improper installation or usage of your grill. For your safety, read all rules carefully and
check local codes:

DO NOT install your grill in recreational vehicles, mobile homes, trailers, boats, etc. Your grill
is for outdoor installation and use only.
 Always install your grill by following the installation instructions and local codes.
 Always know where the gas supply shut-off valve is located and ensure that it is easily
accessible while your grill is in operation.
 Always check all gas supply lines and connections for leaks with soap and water solution.
NEVER check for gas leak with an open flame.
 DO NOT attempt to repair or replace any part of your grill unless specifically outlined in this
manual. All other service should be performed by a qualified service technician.
 DO NOT place clothing or other flammable material on or near your grill.
 DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothes or long sleeves while operating your grill.
 Always supervise children in the vicinity of your grill, especially while in use. Portions of your
grill can be extremely hot and can cause severe burns.
 Always use a glove or mitt while opening and operating your grill. Open the lid to your grill
slowly allowing heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
 DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the crumb pan or grill racks. This can alter airflow required
for proper combustion and build up heat in the control area causing the knobs and igniters to
melt.
 Always allow hot grease to cool down before attempting to handle it and clean the grease
tray often so that grease does not accumulate.
 DO NOT use your grill in a windy area.

Gas Connection Basics
Only use the type of gas indicated on the rating plate.
DO NOT connect an unregulated gas line to your grill.
A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location between the
supply line and the pressure regulator; both are to be supplied by the installer.
Both your grill and its shut-off valve must be disconnected from the supply line during any
system pressure testing where test pressures may exceed 1/2 Psi (3.5kPa).
Your grill must be isolated from the gas supply line, by closing its manual shut-off valve,
during any pressure testing where test pressures may be equal to or less than 1/2 Psi
(3.5kPa).
The supply line for your grill must be sized and installed to provide sufficient supply of gas to
meet the maximum demand of your grill without undue loss of pressure.
The sealant used on any threaded joints in the supply line must be a type resistant to the
action of LP gases.

Installation
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:
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 venture opening.
Check to ensure that the burner is properly secured at the front and back.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Grill
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 food spills.
The food spills 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.
Briquette holders are made 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.
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 made for stainless steel. Never attempt to clean stainless steel with steel
wool, abrasive cloths or powders.

18
Maintenance
General Maintenance
Keep your grilling area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and air ventilation.
Keep the ventilation openings 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 baking onto the surface and
giving 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
rest 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 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.
