PRECAUTIONS
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner
grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas
become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only
dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place or potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot portions of the grill rack.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect in the bottom of the grill. Clean often.
DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO LINE THE GRILL
RACKS OR GRILL BOTTOM. This can severely upset
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control
area. The result of this can be melted knobs, rotary
igniters and increased chance of personal injury.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep
the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodically
for optimum performance. The burners will only operate
in one position and must be mounted correctly for safe
operation.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not
use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if
applied to a hot surface.
INSECT WARNING!!! Spiders and insects can nest in
the burners of this and 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 value panel, thereby damaging the grill and
making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill twice a
year.
Be sure all grill 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.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats
or products which promote flare-ups. Do not operate the
grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use
only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings,
garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas.
THIS UNIT IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from
combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and
vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. If the
unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. If propane is
used, the cylinder must be unhooked and the propane
cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of
reach of children.
DO NOT USE BRIQUETTES OF ANY KIND IN THE
GRILL.
The VII stainless steel gas is designed for optimum
performance without the use of briquettes. Do not place
briquettes on the radiant as this will block off the area for
the grill burners to vent. Adding briquettes can damage
ignition components and knobs, and void the warranty.
Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.
Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor
cord away from the heated areas of the grill.
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a
consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a

LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
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 being applied to the unit. Periodically
check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check
if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the
grill including the burner tie-down straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
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 the initial
leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder is full.
10

TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.
Turn the gas supply on. Check all connections from the
L.P. cylinder up to and including the connection to the
manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the
burner). Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas
supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and
recheck. Should the gas continue to leak from any or all
of the fittings, turn off the gas supply, and contact our
customer service at 1-800-913-8999.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer
should be used on the grill. Substitution can void the
warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have
been checked and do not leak.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER
EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE
Check all gas supply fittings 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 indicate leaks.
Disconnected L.P. cylinders 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 appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders
must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of
the reach of children.
Gas flow check:
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may
make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners should be visually checked.
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 blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION
General use of the grill and rotisserie
Each burner is rated at 15,000 Btu/hr. The grill burners
encompass the entire cooking area and are side ported to
minimize blockage from falling grease and debris.
Above the burners are stainless steel radianted. The
igniter knobs are located on the lower center portion of
the valve panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the
Lighting Instructions Plate.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat setting
for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large
pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the
heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This
cooks the food through without burning the outside.
Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary
marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of
the cooking time.
Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly
located.
Remove any packing material.
Light the grill burners using the instructions in this
manual.
Turn the control knob to “HI” and preheat the grill for 15
minutes. The grill lid is to be closed during the appliance
preheat period.
Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired
doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control
knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LO”.
NOTE: The outdoor stainless steel gases designed to
grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or
briquettes of any kind. Heat is radiated by the stainless
steel flame tamers positioned beneath the solid stainless
steel rods.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices.
The longer the preheat, the faster the meat browns and
the darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED
WHILE COOKING.
USING ROTIS BURNER:
Your grill is capable of performing back burner rotis
cooking. Light the rear burner as described in the
lighting instructions. Once lit, the rotis burner will reach
cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.
The rotis motor is capable of turning up to a 12lb. cut of
meat or poultry. The motor slides onto the metal motor
mount. The rotisserie motor must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
The skewer for the rotis is assembled into the motor
assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor, and
resting the grooved bushing on the support at the
opposite side of the grill. The thumbscrew should be
inside the grill body. With the skewer pushed as far as
possible into the motor, the skewer should rest on the left
side of the grill body. To load the skewer begin with the
handle in place, and slide one of the meat forks (prongs
toward the food) onto the skewer. Center the product to
be cooked on the skewer then push the meat forks firmly
together. Tighten the wing nuts as tight as possible.
It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butchers
string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any
loose portions. Once the food is secure insert the skewer
into the motor. It is normal for the skewer to flex when
larger cuts of meat are being cooked. It may also be
necessary to remove the grill rods for larger cuts of meat.
If the meat scrapes on the grill rods during any part of
the rotation, then the grill rods must be removed.
Assemble the counterweight with washers and handle to
counter balance the heaviest side of the meat. By suing
the counterweight the rotisserie motor should turn
smoothly through all 360 degrees of rotation.
After your first use of the rotis burner it is likely that the
stainless steel adjacent to the burner will darken to a dark
blue color. This is a normal property of the non-rusting,
type 304 stainless steel used on the grill.
CAUTION: PLEASE TAKE OFF THE WARMING
RACK WHEN USING THE ROTIS BURNER. THE
HIGH HEAT COMING FROM THE ROTIS BURNER
MAY CAUSE THE WARMING RACK TO BEND.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. This
appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a plug and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.
Keep the rotis motor electric cord away from the heated
surfaces of the grill. When not in use remove and store
the motor in a dry location.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS GRILL/ROTIS
WARNING: IMPORTANT!
BEFORE LIGHTING…
Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the
gas “ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion,
it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill if the
odor of gas is present. The pressure regulator and hose
assembly supplied with the unit must be used. Never
substitute regulators for those supplied with the grill. If a
replacement is necessary, contact the factory for proper
replacement.
Screw the regulator (type QCC1) onto the tank. Leak
check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and
water solution before operating the grill (see assembly

minutes then retry.
TO MATCH LIGHT THE GRILL:
If the burner will not light after several attempts then the
burner can be match lit.
If you’ve just attempted to light the burner with the
igniter, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to
dissipate. Keep your face and hands as far away from the
grill as possible. Insert a lit extended match or lighter
through the cooking grids to the burner. Press the control
knob and rotate left to the HI setting which should
release the gas. Burner will light immediately.
Push and turn the control knob which is centered on the
burner to “HI”. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds
turn the knob off, wait 5 minutes and try again.
TO LIGHT THE ROTIS BURNER:
Open the lid, push and turn the control knob to the “HI”
position. Press the electric igniter for 3 to 4 seconds to
light the burner. If the burner does not light within 4
seconds, turn the control knob to “OFF”. If the igniter
does not function, the burner can be lit by holding a lit
match to the burner (with the control knob at “HI”).
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply
valve and check the connections before each use.
Do not attempt to light the grill if odor of gas is present.
Call for service 1-800-913-8999.
USING THE SIDE BURNER
WARNING: IMPORTANT!
USING THE SIDE BURNER:
Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the
gas “ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear or abrasion,
it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the side
burner if the odor of gas is present.
WARNING: Always keep your face and body as far
away from the burner as possible when lighting.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
To light side burner, remove any cooking utensils from
the burner grate. Push and turn the control knob
counterclockwise to the “HI” position. This will start the
gas flowing. Press the electric igniter for 3 to 4 seconds
to light the burner. If the burner does not light within 4
seconds, turn the control knob to “OFF”. If the smell of
gas is detected and the igniter is not functioning,
immediately turn the control knob “OFF”. Allow 5
minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate, then see
the following section for “MATCH LIGHTING”.
MATCH LIGHTING
Hold a lit extended match or lighter near the burner
ports, turn the control knob counterclockwise to “HI”.
Move your hand immediately once the burner is lit.
Rotate the control knob to the desired setting. Check for
proper burner flame characteristics. Each burner is
adjusted prior to shipment; however, variations in the
local gas supply may take minor adjustments necessary.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise, or lifting. If any of these conditions
exist call our customer service line. If the flame is
yellow, it indicates insufficient air. If the flame is noisy
and tends to lift away from the burner, it indicates too
much air.
STAINLESS STEEL
The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic
stainless steel. There are many different stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning
13

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 in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
GRILL RACK
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after
cooking is completed and after turning off the flame.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat
and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap
water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in
the bowl of water. Steam, created as water contacts the
hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any
food particles. The food particles will fall and burn. If
the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will
be more difficult.
GRILL BURNERS
Extreme care should be taken when moving a burner as it
must be correctly centered on the orifice before any
attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of
cleaning will depend on how often you use the grill.
GRILL BURNER CLEANING
Ensure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the
“OFF” position. Make sure the grill is cool. Clean the
exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn
scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with
a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick
as it may break off and clog the port. Please note if
insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas
through the burner, you will need to call our customer
service line.
CARE & MAINTENANCE OF SIDE BURNER
ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY AND THE
KNOBS ARE IN THE “OFF” POSITION. MAKE
SURE THE RANGETOP BURNER IS COOL

TROUBLE SHOOTING
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!!!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this or any
other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the
burner. This is 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
immediately 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.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the grill does not function properly, use the following
checklist before contacting your dealer for service. You
may save the cost of a service call.
CHECK LIST
PROBLEMS WHAT TO DO
Grill won’t light when the ignition
button is pushed. Remove the grill rack and the radiant tray. With a mirror, watch the igniter tip. You should see a spark jump from the tip of the igniter when the button
is pressed. You should also hear a repeating click.
If there is no spark and no click, replace the battery under the ignition button
housing. If you replace the battery and there is still no sparks, can you match
light the burner? If the burner lights with a match, you can continue
operating the grill, but you will need to call our customer service line to
repair the electronic ignition. If the burner will not light by the match, please
check the other burners to see if they will operate. If gas is blocked to 1 or
