IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
_11 WARNING -To reduce the risk of _re, elec_c shock, or injury, read and
follow these basic precautions before opera_ng your gas gdll or side bumers.
1. Your unit should be properly installed and connected to the gas for which it
was designed. Do not use charcoal, wood chips, or other material in your
grill. The smoker tray is the only area designed to hold wood chips or
other smoke flavor enhancers.
2. Have the technician show you the location of the gas shut-off valve so you
can shut off the gas supply in an emergency. If you smell gas, the
connections are not properly sealed or you may have a hole in the gas
supply pipe or hose. Determining where the gas leak isshould be left to a
qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized
service agency.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the gas
grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the
grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around the grill.
Never allow children to crawl inside the cart or masonry enclosure.
4. Use a covered hand when opening the hood and do so slowly to allow
heat and steam to escape. To avoid burns when cooking, use long
handled BBQ tools. Never lean over an open grill.
5. Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or potholders. Dish towels or other
substitutes can become entangled causing burns. Use dry potholders; wet
potholders create steam and cause burns. Keep potholders away from
open flames when lifting or moving utensils. Do not touch portions of the
grill rack or burner grate with potholders until the hot surfaces have cooled.
6. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
heat settings.
7. Select the correct pan size for the burner. Be sure the pan is large enough
to avoid boil-overs or spill-overs. This will both save cleaning, prevent
accumulations of food, hea Wsplattering or spill-overs that can catch fire.
8. Never leave the grill unattended. High flame and fatty meats will promote
flare ups.
9. This unit isfor outdoor use only! Do not operate in enclosed areas. This
could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would result in injury or
death.
10. When using the grill, do not touch the grill grates, open burner grates or
immediate surrounding areas. These surfaces become extremely hot and
could cause burns. Be sure all controls are turned off and the unit has
cooled before touching or cleaning any surfaces.
11. Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can upset
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of
this can be melted knobs.
4
12. The handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it does not extend
over adjacent surface burners or interfere with closing the canopy. This will
minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and possible spillage. Let
hot pans cool in a safe place out of children's reach.
13. _1_ WARNING: Before lighting the burners inspect the gas supply piping
or hose. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced
prior to use. Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as
possible when lighting.
14. Never grill without the drip tray in place. Make sure it ispushed all the way
to the back in proper position to catch the drippings. Let the grease cool
before attempting to remove for cleaning or disposal. Do not allow large
amounts of grease to accumulate in the drip tray asthey can catch on fire.
15. Before storing, make sure the gas grill is cool. The gas must be turned off
at the supply tank, removed and stored outside in awell ventilated area
out of the reach of children.
16. Keep the rotisserie motor cord away from heated areas of the grill.
17. When cooking in windy conditions, provide a wind break. Locate the unit
with proper clearance from combustible surfaces.
18. Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and block the gas
and air flow to the burner ports. This may cause a fire from behind the
manifold cover. Inspect and clean the burners periodically.
19. Keep the ventilation openings at the rear of the cart and cylinder enclosure
free and clear to allow proper flow of air. Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air
20. Clothing fires are potential hazards. Do not wear long flowing sleeves
around the grill. They are easily caught on pan handles or ignited by
burners and are generally in the way. Highly flammable clothing, especially
synthetic fabrics, should not be worn while cooking.
21. Do not heat any unopened glass or metal containers on the grill. Pressure
may build-up and cause the container to burst resulting in serious personal
harm or damage to the grill.
22. Do not move the appliance during its use.
23. Be sure all controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type
of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts
to corrode.
24. Do not remove the plasticcover on the rddsser_emotor switch due to
safety"considerations.
25. Ifthe following instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur:
-Do not store a spare gas cylinder under or near this appliance
-Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

Before Ughting Your Grill
Priorto turning the gason, inspectthe gas supplytubing or hose.
Lookfor evidence of abrasion, cuts,wear and tear,or other damage which
could require replacement prior to use. Make sureall burner control knobs
areoff. Do not attempt to light the burners ifthe smell of gas ispresent.
Checkthe connection with a soap and water solution after attaching
the hose. Make surethere isgasin the tank and the tank isupright.
_IL CAUTION: Wait at least5 minutes before relighting a hot gdll to

Burners will ignite at any "on" position with the automatic reignition
system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will
automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted
to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all
surface igniters you should hear a "clicking" sound. If you do not, turn
off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse
or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the
burner to be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the burner
control to any position to adjust the flame size.

Grill Cooking tips
Grilling can be either an open or closed canopy process.
Open canopy grilling is excellent for foods requiring quick searing like
steaks, burgers, chops, and hot dogs. Closed canopy grilling is
similar to roasting in an oven. Food is cooked by heat reflection from
the cover as well as heat from the burners below.
• When grilling chicken, roasts, well done steaks or chops and thick pieces of
meat, sear on High. Then reduce the heat setting to prevent excessive flare-
up. This will allow the food to cook through without burning the outside.
• When grilling large pieces of meat, use a meat thermometer to insure that
meats are either rare, medium and well cooked.
• After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to sear for
approximately 1 minute, you may slide a spatula under the meat and turn it
approximately 90° so that a waffle pattern will be seared onto the food.
• Use a metal spatula or tongs instead of a fork to turn the meat. A fork will
puncture the meat, allowing juices to escape.
• Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks, chops, or
hamburgers are turned several times. The best time to turn the meat is after
the juices have begun to bubble to the surface.
• To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the meat, not the
edge. This will prevent loss of juices.
• Occasionally there may be flare-ups or flames above the grill due to drops of
fat falling onto the flavor generator plates. It is normal to have some flare-up
during grilling. Ifnecessary, use a long spatula to move food to another area
until the flames subside.

TruSearTM Infrared Gdlling tips
Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the meat.
Searing locksin flavor and juices while allowing the outer surface to absorb
smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and drippings are vaporized
by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful outside with atender, juicy inside.
As a general rule, foods will cook in about 1/2 the time they would take on an
ordinary grill.
•Preheatthe grill.
•Ensurethat meat isfully thawed and that all excessfat istrimmed away prior
to grilling.
•Leavethe burner seton "HI" when placing food on the grillto sear.
•Forthicker cutsof meats,adjust burner to alower setting and continue
cooking until desired doneness isreached.
NOTE: When the TruSearTM infraredburner isnot use, it must be covered with
the provided stainlesssteel coverfor protection from outside elements such as
rain.

Using the Smoker Burner and Smoker Box
Using the smoker burner intensifies the flavor by adding
smoke to the grilling process. The additional smoke creates a
"cloud" around the food which permeates meats and vegetables
for added smoky flavor. In
order to use the smoker
box, remove the last set of
porcelain grids and flavor
generator plate on the
right hand side of the grill.
Set the smoker box in the
openin 9 so that the front
and rear tabs rest on the
grill frame.
Using Wood Chips in
Smoker Box:
There are many
wood chips available and selection is based on personal taste. The
most common chips used are mesquite or hickory. Always soak the
chips in water prior to putting them into the box. Use the High
position to start the chips smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower
level to prevent them from drying out and flaming. If the wood
chips do flame up, add a small amount of water to extinguish the
flame. Use caution when adding water to a hot box to avoid steam
burns. This tray may also be filled with water to produce steam.
Whether smoking or steaming, the grill should remain closed as
much as possible to maximize the effect.
During extended roasting periods, it is normal to add fresh
wood chips and water to the box several times. Limit the amount
of times the canopy is opened. Each peek adds about 15 minutes
to the cooking time. _ CAUTION: Handle the smoker box with
care. The cover becomes extremely hot when being used. Use
sturdy,properly insulated gloves or dry potholders.
,Smoker
Box
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
This unit is equipped with a grounding plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly 9rounded receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the 9rounding prong from this plug.
Keep the rotisserie motor electric cord away from the
heated surfaces of the grill.
Using the Rotisserie
The rotisserie burner is an infrared burner which provides
intense searin9 radiant heat. Preferred by professional chefs over
other methods, this intense heat is great for searing in the natural
juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat. Once lit, the
rotisserie burner will reach cookin 9 temperatures in about 1 minute.
The red glow will even out in about 5 minutes.
To install the rotisserie motor, align the drive shaft on the
motor with the gear box on the side of the grill. Tighten the thumb
screws on the motor into the mounting brackets on the 9rill frame.
The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the gear box assembly
by placin 9 the pointed end into the gear box and resting the
rounded end on the wheels on the left side of the grill. \

Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lastslonger when
maintained properly and kept clean. Grilling equipment is no exception. Your
grill must be kept cleanand maintained properly.
PorcelainGrates/Grill Bumers
The porcelain grill grates may be cleaned immediately after
cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Wearing a
barbecue mitt to protect your hand from heat, use a soft bristle
barbecue brush to scrub the porcelain burner grid. Dip the brush
frequently in a bowl of water. Steam is created as the water contacts
the hot grate. The steam assists the cleanin 9 process by softening
the food particles. For thorough cleaning of the grates, allow grates
to cool, then soak 15 to 30 minutes in a hot water and detergent
solution. After soaking, scrub with a teflon scouring pad. DO NOT
USE a steel wool pad, abrasive cleaners or metal brush. They could
damage the porcelain finish.
Before removing the grates and burners, make sure the gas supply is
off and the knobs are in the "off" position. To disassemble the grill
for thorough cleaning, remove parts after they have cooled in the
following order:
1. Porcelain grill grates
2. Flavor generator plates
3. Stainless steel burners
4. Drip guards
Clean greasy parts with a household grease solvent such as
household ammonia and water. _. WARNING: Do not use
flammable cleaning materials. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner
inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a
metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened out. Shake out
any debris through the air shutter.

TruSearTM Infrared Grill Burner (ff applicable)
When finished cooking, turn the control knob to the "HI"
setting and allow the burner to burn for Five Minutes. This helps to
eliminate any drippings or debris that would otherwise remain on the
burner, degrading the performance and reducing burner life. After
the five minute burn-off time, turn the grill OFF and allow to cool
completely before attempting to clean or move. Wipe excess grease
and food from grill surfaces.
NOTE: When the TruSearTM infraredburner isnot use, it must be covered with
the provided stainlesssteel coverfor protection from outside elements such as
rain.
Drip Tray

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!!!
Spiders and insects can nest Jn the bumers/venturJ tubes of this
or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe
to operate.
When to look for spiders:
You should inspect the burners/venturi tubes at least once a
year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas along with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach the proper temperatures.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners makes a popping noise.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Grill won't light when
the ignitor is
pressed.
Guide
What to Check
Make sure the control knob is off. (No gas is on.)
Remove the grill rack and the flavor generator
plates. Watch the ignitor tip. You should see a
spark jump from the tip of the ignitor when the
button is pressed. Do the other burners work?
Make sure the ignitor tip is dean and free from
debris. Check battery to electronic ignition.
Burner qame is yellow Check the burner inlet for
or orange and a gas obstructions. Check the air shutter for
odor is present, proper adjustment.
Low heat with knob
on High Is the fuel hose bent or kinked? Is there adequate gas supply available? If it is only
one burner that appears low, does the orifice or
burner need cleaning? Are any other gas
appliances at the location below normal rate? Is
the air shutter too far open or closed? Is the gas
supply or gas pressure low?
Is there a spark at the
thermocouple? Can you match light the burner?
Burner
lights, but will not hold
flame once button is

Is the thermocouple kinked or
bent away from the burner?
Readjust to lay flat against burner. Is the safety
valve button being depressed long enough? Hold
button in until burner remains lit. Check for black
