NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION – EXTREME GAS GRILL
A typical natural gas installation is shown below. Make sure that the factory-supplied regulator is used and
installed with the arrow mark on the regulator pointing towards the gas grill. Do not use any replacement
regulator other than that specified by Twin Eagles, Inc. Use only pipe sealants that are approved for use with
natural and LP gases. An installer-supplied gas shutoff valve must be installed in an accessible location.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the national Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-
B149.2, Propane Installation Code.
1. This gas appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at the test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
2. This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
If the gas grill is factory built for natural gas, the regulator supplied is set for 4” water column. The regulator
is convertible to 10” water column for system LP application. Do not use with a 20-lb LP cylinder. Make
sure that the regulator is set for natural gas. To check, remove the brass hex cap. You will find the
conversion plastic pin attached to the cap to the underside of the cap. If the disc (1/2 in. diameter) of the pin
is close to the cap, then the regulator is set for natural gas. If the disc is at the tip of the pin, away from the
brass cap, the regulator is set for system LP application. To convert to natural gas, remove the plastic
conversion pin and invert and replace it back in a manner such that the disc is close to the brass cap. For both
natural and LP, the maximum inlet pressure is 14” water column.

LEAK TESTING – EXTREME GAS GRILL
General: DO NOT USE GRILL UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS
HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND DO NOT LEAK
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or
excessive pressure unknowingly applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or
immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Check all gas supply fitting for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near
the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles will indicate where leaks are located.
The disconnected L.P. cylinder must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area. The gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder when the unit
is not in use.
If the grill is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the grill. Cylinders must be
stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
Before Testing: MAKE SURE ALL PACKAGING HAS BEEN REMOVED
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE TESTING
NEVER LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME
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 that system at test pressures in excess of
½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut off valve during any testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or
less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa)
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or
rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For L.P. units, check with a full
cylinder.
TO TEST:
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply
on. Check all connections from the supply line, or L.P. cylinder up to and
including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the solution around the
connection, valve, and tubing. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, and tighten
any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and recheck.
If a gas leak is present, and you cannot stop the leak, immediately turn off the gas supply and call your local
gas supplier or the dealer where you purchased your grill. Only authorized factory parts, or parts
recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
Leak check the regulator to tank connections
with a soap and water solution before operating

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – EXTREME GAS GRILL
Lighting Instructions:
Your Extreme Grill is equipped with an electronic spark
ignition system ignition system. The ignition module uses
one AAA battery. The spark ignition button is located at the
control panel. The same button is used to light the grill
burners and the rotisserie burner.
To light the grill burners:
1. Make sure that burner knobs are set to off.
2. Open the grill hood.
3. Make sure that the cleaning pan is installed and place all the way to the back of the firebox.
4. Open the gas supply cylinder valve.
5. Push and turn burner knob to Hi. (Bigger flame marking)
6. Push-in and hold the ignition button. You should hear a continuous clicking sound indicating that
spark is being provided to the burner. (If clicking sound is weak, replace battery.)
7. If ignition does not immediately take place, turn burner knob to off, wait for five minutes and
repeat lighting procedure.
Manual lighting:
If the electronic ignition would not light the burners, the
burners can be lit manually using a lighted match or lighter.
1. Place a lit match over the hole located at the front of the
grill.
2. Push and turn on the burner knob to ignite the burner.
Important: If burner fails to light within 5 seconds, turn off
gas and wait 5 minutes before repeating the process.
Warning: If you smell gas, shutoff the gas supply and immediately check for leaks using the
soapy water technique.
15

Replacing the Battery:
1. Unscrew the ignition button and remove the old battery.
2. Replace with a new AAA battery.
Air Shutter Adjustments:
Each grill air shutter is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in
the local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the air shutters. The flames of the burners
should be visually checked and compared with the next figure.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise
or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check if the air shutter or
burner ports are locked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. and proceed
with air shutter adjustment. A sheet metal cup at the inlet of the
burner called an air shutter governs the amount of air, which is pulled
through a burner. It is locked in place by a setscrew, which must be
loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment.
The air shutter adjustment screws are accessible with a screwdriver.
Remove the burner by loosening the hex nut. Loosen the
lock screw of the air shutter. Make certain that the burners
are sitting properly on the orifices and light the burners.
To adjust grill burner flame, be advised to adjust according
to the following directions, also be careful, as the burner
may be very hot. If the flame is yellow indicting
insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to
allow more air to the burner.
If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner,
indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise, until
stable blue flame is obtained.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – ROTISSERIE
1. When using the rotisserie, the hood must be closed except when basting.
2. Important: Always light rotisserie burner with the hood in the full open position.
3. It is important to evenly balance the meat on the spit rod. Proper balancing will lead to more even
cooking and prolong the life of the rotisserie motor.
4. Pliers may be used to tighten the thumb screws on the meat forks when larger cuts of meat are being
rotissed. Use twine to secure the meat on the spit rod, especially fowl or other cuts of meat that
require tying.
5. The rotisserie motor must be stored indoors when not in use. Do not leave it mounted on the grill.
17

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE – EXTREME GAS GRILL
STAINLESS STEEL
The Extreme Grill is made of stainless steel.
Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot.
After the initial grilling use, certain areas of the grill may discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by
the intense heat given off by the burners.
Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can be removed by
using a mild abrasive pad (like Scotch Brite) with a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always
scrub in the direction of the grain.
Do not use steel wool to clean the grill. Steel wool will rust, and will leave rust particles on the grill.
Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Be extra careful when cleaning around the highlights.
Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back the luster on highlights.
To touch-up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface very lightly, with 100-dry grit
emery sandpaper in the direction of the grain.
GRILL GRATES:
The easiest way to clean the grill grates is to scrub them
with a barbeque brush immediately after cooking is
completed and the flame is turned off.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hands from the
heat and steam.
Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub
the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in tap water.
Steam, created as water comes in contact with the hot
grill, helps loosen food particles stuck in the grill. These
food particles will either get burned into the briquettes or
fall into the cleaning pan.
Cleaning of the grill would be longer and more difficult
if the grill grates are allowed to cool before cleaning,
WARMING RACKS:
The warming racks are finished with chrome plating to
prevent rust.
Clean the warming rack using the same procedure for the
grates.
18

RADIANTS:
It is not necessary to remove and clean the radiants from the tray
after every grilling. They burn themselves clean during the next
cooking operation. If desired, you can burn clean them by
lighting the grill and letting it burn on high for about 30 minutes.
Periodically, the radiants need to be cleaned. Remove them from
the grill, scrape off any oil residue and wipe them clean.
Do not handle a hot radiant.
BURNERS:
Burners are made of stainless steel and can be soaked in water and cleaned
with wire brush. Check every port hole for clogs. Use a wire pin to clean
out clogged ports. Make sure the burner is dry before installing it back to
the grill.
CLEANING PAN:
The cleaning pan collects grease, liquid and fallen food particles.
Allow the pan and its contents to cool before cleaning. Slide the pan out and wipe
it clean. Make sure the pan is fully inserted back to its tray before using the grill.
It is highly recommended to clean the pan after every
use to avoid any possibility of a grease fire.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING:
Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners of this and any other
grills, which causes the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This dangerous “condition” can cause a fire behind the valve panel,
damaging the grill and making the grill unsafe to operate. Inspect
the burners once a year or if the grill has not been used for more than
one month or if any of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner
flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature
3. The grill heats unevenly
4. The burners make popping noises
