2. Make sure all control knobs are in OFF position.
3. Turn on gas source or tank
valve.
4. To ignite, push and turn
desired knob slowly about
1/4-turn counterclockwise
until a “click” is heard. (See
diagram to right.)
5. The “click” is the ignitor
being activated. If burner does not light, repeat
two or three times.
6. If ignition DOES NOT occur in five second turn
burner controls to OFF, wait five minutes, and
repeat lighting procedure.
7. To ignite remaining burners, repeat same
procedure for adjacent burner and continue in
sequence.
8. Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking
temperature.
USING THE LIGHTING STICK TO LIGHT
THE MAIN BURNERS
1. Insert a match into the end of lighting stick.
Light match.
2. Once lit, put lighting stick through cooking grid
and place flame next to burner ports found
along sides of the desired burner.
3. Press valve knob and rotate it counterclockwise
to ‘’HIGH’’ position. The burner should light
immediately. If more than one burner is desired,
repeat Steps 2 – 3 until all burners are lit.
4. Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking
temperature.
Confirm that the burner is properly lit and that the
flame pattern is as desired (see figures A, B and C
for the proper flame patterns). If the flame pattern
is other than normal, consult Troubleshooting on
page 20 for corrective action.
Normal: Soft blue flames with yellow tips between
1 – 2” (2.5 – 5.1 cm) high.
Out of adjustment: Noisy, hard, blue flames – too
much air.
Poor combustion: Wavy, yellow flames – too little air.
BURNER INSTALLATION AND
ADJUSTMENT
1. End edge should face towards upside.
2. Release screw on venturi tube. Adjust flame by
turning the collar on head of venturi tube from
back side of grill and DO NOT take apart the
venturi tube. Tighten screw and secure.
3. Overlap .5” (14 mm) between venturi tube and
nozzle when assembling. Keep center line of
venturi tube and nozzle on one line.
TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
WHEN TESTING FOR A LEAK:
• ALWAYS perform “leak test“ before lighting grill
and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
•DONOTsmoke or allow other sources of
ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
•Conduct leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated
area.
•DONOTuse matches, lighters or a flame to
check for leaks.
•DONOTuse grill until all leaks have been
stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak,
disconnect propane supply, call for gas
appliance service or your local propane gas
supplier.
WARNING
PRECAUTIONS:
•After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make
sure all burner ports are lit.
•If burner flame goes out during operation,
immediately turn gas “OFF”. Open lid to let gas
clear for at least five minutes before re-lighting.
•Before cooking on grill for the first time, operate
the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid
closed and the gas turned on “HIGH”. This will
“heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor
from the manufacturing process and painted
finish.
•Clean grill after each use. DO NOT use abrasive
or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts
of the grill and cause a fire.
WARNING
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners
or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if
the grill does not light, may result in an explosion,
which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
DANGER
NEVER stand with your head directly over the grill
when preparing to light the main burners, to
prevent possible bodily injury.
WARNING
Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed
may cause an explosion. Make sure there are no
obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and
insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube
at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a
fire beneath the appliance.

OPERATION
FLARE-UPS
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings
fall onto hot heat distribution plate or burners and
ignite. Some flaring is normal and desirable as it
helps impart the unique flavors associated with
grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-
ups is necessary, however, in order to avoid burned
or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the
possibility of accidental fire.
SHUTTING OFF BURNERS
1. ALWAYS turn valve knob(s) clockwise to the
HIGH position, and then press and turn knob
to OFF. NEVER force the knob without
pressing it. This could damage the valve.
2. Promptly turn the gas supply to the OFF
position at the propane cylinder.
3. Close the lid of the grill.
EXCESS FLOW SAFETY VALVE RESET
PROCEDURE
• The new regulators are equipped with a safety
device that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas
leak. However, unsafe practices of grill operation
could activate the safety device without having a
gas leak.
• A sudden shut-off of the gas flow typically occurs
if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or
more of the burner control knobs is in an open
position when opening the LP tank valve.
• This procedure is effective with all LP tank sizes as
well as Natural Gas. When performing the
procedure on a Natural Gas model, simply
substitute “Natural Gas valve” for “LP Tank”.
• To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully
performed, please carefully follow these
instructions:
1. Close LP tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to OFF position.
3. Disconnect regulator from LP tank.
4. Open lid of the grill.
5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.
6. Wait at least one minute.
7. Turn burner control knobs OFF.
8. Wait at least five minutes.
9. Re-connect regulator to the LP tank.
10. Slowly turn the LP tank valve 1/4-turn at a
time and have valve all the way open.
11. With the lid open:
For grill with ignition button: Turn on only
ONE burner control knob to the HIGH
position. Ignite the grill by pushing the
ignition button.
For grill with an automatic ignition:
Push down control knob you want to light
and turn counterclockwise until you hear
ignition “click”.
12. After first front burner is lit, turn on other
control knob(s) to HIGH position. If you have
more than two burners, turn them on only
ONE AT A TIME.
13. When all front burners are lit, close grill lid.
14. Wait 10 – 15 minutes. The temperature
should reach 400 – 450°F (204 – 232ºC).
CLEANING
Burning off the grill after every use (approximately
15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from
building up. Cleaning grill before and after cooking
is recommended.
Recommended cleaning materials:
• Mild dishwashing liquid detergent
• Hot water
• Nylon cleaning pad
• Wire brush
• Paper clip
• Putty knife/scraper
• Compressed air
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral
spirits or xylene.
OUTSIDE SURFACES
Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water
solution to clean. Rinse thoroughly with water.
INSIDE SURFACES
If the inside surface of the grill lid has the
appearance of peeling paint, baked-on grease has
turned to carbon and is flaking off. Clean thoroughly
with a strong solution of detergent and hot water.
Rinse with water and allow it to completely dry.
Interior of grill bottom – Remove residue using
brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with a
dishwashing detergent and hot water solution. Rinse
with water and let dry.
Cooking Grates – The porcelain grates have a
glass-like composition that should be handled with
care. Use a mild dishwashing detergent or baking
soda and hot water solution. Non-abrasive scouring
powder can be used on stubborn stains. Rinse with
water.
Heat Plates – Clean residue with wire brush and
wash with soapy water. Rinse with water.
Grease Cup – Periodically empty grease cup and
clean with a dishwashing detergent and hot water
solution.
CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY
1. Turn gas OFF at the control knobs and propane
tank.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat plate.
3. Remove grease cup.
4. Remove burner by unscrewing nut from
beneath burner “foot” using a screwdriver and
pliers.
5. Lift burner up and away from the gas valve
orifice.
6. Clean inlet (venturi tube) of burner with small
bottle brush or compressed air.
7. Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of
burner surface.
8. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such
as an opened paper clip).
9. Inspect burner for damage (cracks or holes). If
damage is found, replace with a new burner.
Re-install burner. Make certain the gas valve
orifices are correctly positioned, pointing
straight into burner inlet (venturi tube). Also,
check position of spark electrode.
The cylinder valve always has to be above the
horizontal position for the cylinder to have vapor
withdrawal only.
WARNING
ALWAYS allow to completely cool off before
covering your grill to prevent corrosion from
condensation.
WARNING
All cleaning and maintenance should be done
when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned
off at the control dial and the propane cylinder
disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a
self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage
the finish.
WARNING
CORRECT WRONG
WRONG WRONG
ALWAYS monitor the grill closely when
cooking and turn flame level down to LOW or
OFF if flare-ups intensify.
