Important Safety Instructions
1. TThheesseeuunniittssaarreeffoorroouuttddoooorruusseeoonnllyy!!Do not operate in enclosed
areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up which could
result in injury or death.
2. Your appliance should be installed by a qualified technician. The
appliance must be installed according to local codes. Have the
technician show you the location of the gas shutoff valve on the
appliance so you know where and how to turn off the gas if
necessary.
3. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be
performed by an authorized service agency.
4. The “push-to-turn” knob of this appliance is designed to be child
safe. However, children should not be left alone in the kitchen while
the appliance is in use. Do not store items of interest to children
over the appliance. Children climbing to reach items could be
seriously injured.
5. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan by covering utensil completely with well-fitting
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can
be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
6. Never leave surface area unattended at high heat setting. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers which may ignite.
7. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
8. Never use your appliance for warming or heating a room. This is
based on safety considerations.
9. Use proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the burner. Using undersized utensils allows the
flame to come up the side of the utensil, scorching the outside of
the utensil and making clean-up more difficult.
10. The flame of the burner should be adjusted to cover the bottom of
the pan. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of adjacent
countertop surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is
based on safety considerations.
11. Use only dry pot holders. Damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch hot surface
areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
12. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
provided utensil should be positioned so that it is turned to side of
the unit, away from the front.
13. Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch areas near burners until they
have had sufficient time to cool.
14. Once the unit is installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it
is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed.
15. Storage cabinet areas above the appliance must be a minimum of
36 inches above the appliance and cannot project more than 13
inches outward from rear wall. Beware of potential hazards
associated with retrieving items from such cabinets when the
appliance is in operation.
17. Keep the ventilation openings of the gas cylinder enclosure free and
clear from debris.
18. Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the unit and block the
gas and air flow to the burner ports. This may cause a fire behind
the manifold cover. Inspect and clean the burners periodically.
19. If the outdoor cooking appliance is not in use, the gas must be
turned off at the supply cylinder.
20. Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children
and must not be stored in a building, garage, or other enclosed
areas.
21. Before lighting the burners, inspect the gas supply hose. If there is
evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasions, it must be replaced prior to
use.
22. If the following instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing
death or serious injury may occur:
-Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
-Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

Before You Use Your Wok
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil and grease which may have remained
from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the wok
thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
Wok Pan w/Lid
Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the
wok. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Apply
a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire inside
surface with a paper towel. Heat the wok on a medium setting until the
cooking surface turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure several
times. This seasoning seals the pores of the metal, keeps food from
sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess oil before
using or storing.
For LP units, check the connection with a soap and water
solution after attaching the hose. Make sure there is gas in the tank and
tank is upright. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas
supply valve and check the connections for gas leaks before each
use.
Using Your Wok
Lighting the Burner
CAUTION: Before lighting the burners, remove the outdoor
cover!
Push and turn the control knob until the “OFF” position on the
knob aligns with the “LIGHT” position on the control panel.
IImmmmeeddiiaatteellyypprreesssstthheeeelleeccttrroonniicciiggnniittiioonnbbuuttttoonn..You will hear a
clicking sound. At the same time a spark will be provided at the grill
burner. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to
“off” and wait 5 minutes before trying again..This will allow
accumulated gas to dissipate. After several failed attempts the burner
can be lit with a paper book match and the lighting rod located in the
drip tray.
For proper lighting and efficient performance of the burner, it is
necessary to keep the igniter and burner ports clean. If the flame is
uneven, flutters, makes excessive noise or lifts, check to see if the burner
ports are clogged. If the ports are clogged, use a wire, straightened
paper clip, or needle to clear the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it
could break off in the port. If the condition persists, contact an
authorized service agency for adjustments.
To light with a Match
If you have just attempted to light the burner with the ignitor,
allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face
as far away from the burner as possible. Place the lit match and the
lighting rod (supplied in the drip tray) next to the burner. Push and
turn the control knob. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds,
turn the knob “off”, wait 5 minutes and try again.

Wok Pan w/Lid
Wash the wok after each use in hot, soapy water. Do not use
harsh abrasives or scouring pad as they can harm the protective
seasoning. Dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the
inside surface with a paper towel. Place over medium heat for 15 - 30
seconds. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Wipe off excess oil
before storing in an inside cabinet. Do not store the wok pan and lid
outdoors.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy
water at the end of each cooling period or with a liquid cleaner
designed for stainless steel when soapy water will not do the job. DO
NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cleansers, cloths, or powders. If it is
necessary to scrape the stainless to remove encrusted materials, soak the
area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a nylon spatula or
scraper. DO NOT USE a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to
scrape stainless steel. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on
the stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless
steel.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your appliance must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Porcelain Parts (Grate)
Allow the grate and grate support to cool to a safe temperature
level. Wipe up spillovers as soon as possible after they occur and before
they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. The grate and grate
support are coated with a porcelain enamel finish for durability. Wash in
hot, soapy water and rinse clean. For stubborn stains, use a mild
abrasive cleanser or non-abrasive soap-filled pad. Abrasive cleansers
used vigorously or too often can eventually scratch and harm the enamel.
Cast Iron Burner
For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the
electric igniter and burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean these only
when the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of the
burner, when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not
light, even though the electric spark igniter sparks.
Burner
ports
Venturi tube
Orifice
Clean the burner by scraping off burned on food soil. Use a wire, a
straightened paper clip, or needle to clean the ports. Do not use a
toothpick; it could break off in the port. Be sure the venturi tube
remains dry.
Using the Trivet Grate (Center Grate)
The trivet
grate converts the
large burner grate
to a grate suitable
for use with large
stock pots. To use
the trivet grate,
place the small
grate in the center
of the large grate.
Turn the trivet
grate until the feet
on the trivet grate
sits inside the
notches located on
the center ring of
the large grate.

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 at least once a year or
immdiately if any of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas along with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The gas wok does not reach the proper temperatures.
3. The gas wok heats unevenly.
4. The burner makes a popping noise.
