FOR YOUR SAFETY – READ BEFORE LIGHTING
!!! WARNING !!!
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the barbecue and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control that has been under water.
This appliance, depending on model, has an electronic
ignition that uses, a Triple A battery ( AAA - 1.5v ),
( Battery should be checked periodically ), or on Side
Grills, an electronic piezo igniter. Units can also be lit by
long hearth match, hand fire starter, or book match clip
extender ( included with unit ), via the FLAME VIEW or
inserted between the grill grates. Follow these
instructions exactly when lighting the barbecue.
BEFORE LIGHTING, smell around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the ground, as LP gas
is heavier than air and will settle to the ground.
FIGURE 16
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1- OPEN BARBECUE GRILL HOOD.
!!! DANGER !!!
Failure to open hood while igniting the barbecue may
cause flash - flame up or explosion. Never attempt to
light the barbecue with the hood closed. If ignition does
not take place, wait five ( 5 ) minutes for gas to dissipate.
BATTERY CHECK
2- For Liquid Propane units, make sure the LP gas
cylinder contains Liquid Propane.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS LOCATED BENEATH THE
ELECTRONIC IGNITER PUSH BUTTON, ON THE CONTROL
PANEL. DEPRESS THE PUSH BUTTON AND ROTATE THE PUSH
BUTTON COUNTER-CLOCKWISE TO EXPOSE THE BATTERY
COMPARTMENT.
3- Make sure all burner control knobs are in the
OFF position. Push each knob down and turn in
a clockwise direction until the knob stops.
WHEN REPLACING BATTERY, BE SURE TO ATTACH POSITIVE
AND NEGATIVE TERMINALS APPROPRIATELY.
WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the
OFF position before opening the LP gas cylinder valve.
If the valve is opened with the burner control knobs in
the ON position, the excess flow of gas will activate the
QCC-1, limiting the flow of gas from the LP gas cylinder.
IF THIS OCCURS, TURN OFF the LP gas cylinder valve
and burner control knobs. Wait five ( 5 ) minutes for gas
to dissipate, and then begin again.
CHECK THE IGNITER BY PUSHING THE BUTTON.
YOU SHOULD HEAR A " CLICKING SPARK "
SOUND.
!!! WARNING !!!
All gas burning appliances produce smoke and carbon
monoxide gas during operation. These fumes can be
harmful if the appliance is used in any other than an
open air, fully vented area.
4- For Liquid Propane units, open the LP gas
cylinder valve in a counter-clockwise direction
until it stops. DO NOT FORCE THE VALVE!

BURNER CONTROL SETTINGS
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS continued
The highest control setting is normally too hot for direct
cooking. Use the highest control setting as preheat,
minimum five ( 5 ) minutes with the hood closed; for
quick searing of meat, and at the end of each cooking
cycle to burn off excess grease and food.
WARNING: If the burner does not light, turn the burner
control knob to the OFF position and wait five ( 5 )
minutes. A long hearth match, hand fire starter, or book
match clip extender ( included with unit ), may also be
inserted through the FLAME VIEW, or between the grill
grates to achieve ignition. If, after repeated attempts the
burner does not light, call the StraubelStone Customer
Service Center or your installer.
Medium settings should be used for cooking steaks, pork
chops, grilled fowl parts, and burgers.
Lower settings should be used for roasts and rotisserie
use, and for finish cooking after searing at higher setting.
NOTE: All StraubelStone Gas Barbecues are test fired
at the factory before shipping.
Control settings may also vary from left to right, i.e.,
higher on one side and lower or OFF on the other.
7- Once you have achieved ignition on the first
burner, you may light the others with the same
procedure. ( SEE FIGURE 14, 15, or 16 )
GREASE DRIPPINGS
8- Once all burners are lit, close the lid and
preheat the barbecue for five ( 5 ) minutes
before cooking.
Your StraubelStone Gas Barbecue was designed to
" carbonize " grease and fat drippings before they drip
below the burner plate onto the burners or inside the
unit. Cooking some high fat foods may cause excessive
grease drippings. A grease collection cup is located
beneath the barbecue basin, and may be accessed
beneath the cart chassis. It should be removed
periodically and cleaned. The following steps may also
help:
9- Once the barbecue has been preheated, adjust
the control knobs for proper cooking
temperature ( SEE FIGURE 14, 15, or 16 ).
DO NOT LEAVE THE BURNERS ON THE
HIGHEST SETTING FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD - THIS CONDITION MAY DAMAGE
YOUR BARBECUE.
WARNING: Should the burners go out during operation,
TURN ALL GAS VALVES OFF! 1- Make sure that the unit is level.
2- Preheat the appliance on HIGH control settings
for at least ten to fifteen ( 10 to 15 ) minutes.
This will insure cooking surfaces are hot enough
to " carbonize " fats when burner control settings
are lowered. This is especially important if you
are using indirect cooking methods, i.e., cooking
on one side of the grill by using heat from the
burners on the opposite side.
Open the lid and wait five ( 5 ) minutes before attempting
to re-light the barbecue.
10- To shut off the barbecue after use, turn burner
control knobs clockwise to the OFF position.
( SEE FIGURE 14, 15, or 16 ) After the flame
goes out, turn off the gas supply at either the LP
gas cylinder or the Natural Gas line valve. 3- Use lava rock or ceramic briquettes in an even,
single layer, covering the burner plate. This will
provide an added layer of evenly heated cooking
surface to dissipate and " carbonize " grease.
COOKING OPERATION
Your StraubelStone Gas Barbecue comes equipped with
an easily removable hood for open air cooking. To
remove hood before you begin any cooking operation:
!!! GREASE FIRE WARNING !!!
1- Remove Cotter clips from hinge pins at rear of
barbecue basin. SHOULD A GREASE FIRE OCCUR
2- Remove hinge pins from hinges. 1- Turn off the gas at the burner control panel or
gas supply.
3- Remove hood. Set aside
4- Replace hinge pins through hinge pinholes in
hood and hinges. 2- Allow the fire to burn itself out.
3- Allow the unit to cool.
5- Replace Cotter clips in hinge pins. 4- Make sure that the gas supply is OFF.
5- Clean the appliance and inspect all parts for
damage.
To replace hood, reverse the foregoing procedure.
6- Replace any parts that are damaged before
using the appliance.
NEVER ATTEMPT THIS OPERATION WHILE THE
APPLIANCE IS IN OPERATION OR IS HOT!
NEVER THROW WATER ON A GREASE FIRE!!!
NOTE: Cooking with the hood off or in upright position is
not recommended during any windy condition. Cooking
without the hood may also extend cooking time.
