Safety Rules
1. It is important to follow these rules to avoid fire hazard, property damage or bodily
injury from improper installation or usage of the grill. For safety, READ all rules
carefully and check local codes.
2. It is prohibited to install the grill in recreational vehicles/mobile homes, trailers,
boats, etc. The grill is for outdoor installation and use only.
3. Ensure proper installation by following the installation instructions. Make sure
to
know where the gas supply shut-off valve is located. It should be readily and
easily accessible.
4. Check all gas line joints or connection for gas leak with soap water solution.
Never check gas leak with an open flame.
5. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other services should be performed by a
qualified service technician.
6. Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance. Do
not
wear loose-fitting clothes or long sleeves while using the grill as some fabrics
can be highly flammable.
7. Children should be carefully supervised when they are in the vicinity of the grill.
Do not allow them to get close while in use. Items of interest to children should
not be
stored in or around the grill in the cabinet or in the masonry enclosure. Portions of
the grill can be extremely hot while in use and can cause severe burns.
8. Protect your hand with a glove or mitt when opening and operating the grill. Open
grill lid slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening.
9. Never use aluminum foil to line the crumb pan or grill racks. This can alter airflow
for
proper combustion and also build up heat in the control area causing the knobs
and
igniters to melt.
10.Grease is highly flammable. Allow hot grease to cool down before attempting to
handle it. Clean grease tray often so that grease does not accumulate and stay in
it.
11.Do not use the grill in a windy area.
12.Do not obstruct the flow of air into the front of the grill.

Gas Connections
Check gas type – use only the type of gas indicated in the rating plate.
Do NOT connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance.
Safe and satisfactory operation depends to a great extent on the proper installation of the
appliance. The installation must comply with the local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CGA – B149.1 or
149.2.
Installer supplied manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible
location in the gas supply line ahead of the pressure regulator (4”W.C.) which is also to be
provided by the installer.
The outdoor cooking gas appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected
from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2Psi (3.5kPa).
The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated form the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shout-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 Psi (3.5kPa).
The supply line must be sized and installed to provide a sufficient supply of gas to meet the
maximum demand of the grill without undue loss of pressure. The sealant used on the
threaded joints of the gas pipe must be a type resistant to the action of LP gases.

cord.
BRIQUETTES: Place 20 briquettes on each burner shield with 5 on each row equally
spaced front to back.
Radiant burner covers may be utilized in this model
Leak Testing
All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or 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
alljoints. Bubbles forming indicate gas leak.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
12

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.
13

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.
Lighting Instructions
Before Lighting:
Check gas line/hose for signs of wear, abrasion or cuts. If evidence of
deterioration is
visible, replace the part prior to use.
If you smell gas, check for leaks. If odor continues, immediately call for service.
Keep your face and body away from the grill top when lighting.
Grill and Rotisserie Burner Lighting
1. Open lid before lighting. Make sure all burners are in the
‘OFF’ position.
2. Push and turn burner knob to ‘HI/IGN’ position.
3. Turn stowly allow gas to fill burner.
4. Continue step 3 untill you have burner ignition.
Operation
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE IN OPERATION.
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 closed position during
the pre heat period.
Rotisserie: Turn the control knobs to HI.
14

Plug in the motor power cord to a properly grounded receptacle.
Rotisserie cooking can be done with grill burners as well as with 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 ‘NO’ 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 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.
Shield: Burner shields (Briquette holder) are made up 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 made for 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.
15

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and air ventilation.
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 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.
