Hose Check

•Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.

Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only

valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

General Grill Cleaning

•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and

smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the

factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution

of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush

on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely

air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted

surfaces.

• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

s Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a

concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and

failure of parts can result.

•Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most

residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or

specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder

for stubborn stains.

•Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive

cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft

nonabrasive cloth.

•Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality

appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water

and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease

deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning

pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.

Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of

the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on

cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to

clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

INSIDE VENTURI

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the

flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and

clean the venturis.

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been

known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build

nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of

gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind

the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage

your grill and even cause injury.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and

venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned

before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Storing Your Grill

•Clean cooking grates.

•Store in dry location.

•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well-

ventilated space and out of reach of children.

•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill

covers offered by manufacturer.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and

disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.

•When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner

Assembly” instructions before starting grill.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner

assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.

2. Remove cooking grates and flame tamers.

3. Remove screws and carryover tubes from rear of burners.

4. Remove screw and washers to disengage burner from

bracket on firebox.

5. Remove screws to detach electrode from burner. Electrode

should remain in firebox.

6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one

easiest for you.

(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)

into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner

tube several times.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not

use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each

burner tube several times.

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each

port to make sure air comes out each hole.

7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food

residue and dirt.

8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open

paper clip.

9. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion

some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or

holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve

openings. See illustrations at right.

10. Attach electrode to burner.

11. Carefully replace burners.

12. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

13. Reposition carryover tubes and attach

to burners. Replace flame tamers and

cooking grates.

First Time Use

Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put together

properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising material from

all grill surfaces before first use. We recommend operating your

grill on its highest setting for 15-20 minutes prior to your first use.

This aids in removing the oils used during manufacturing.

Lava Rock / Briquettes

This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to be

used with flame tamers or heat distribution plates to provide

more even heating, improve the cleaning process, and reduce

flare-ups. The addition of after market lava rocks, charcoal, or

briquettes of any type will cause poor combustion and increase

the likelihood of a grease fire, and is not recommended. Using

briquettes, lava rock, or charcoal in this grill will void your

warranty. For extra smoke flavor, we recommend using a

smoker box with wood chips.

Temperature

The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill measures

air temperature. The air temperature inside your grill will never

be as hot as the temperature at the cooking surface.

Note: Since 1995, all regulators (the part that attaches to the gas

tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a safety feature

that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can

inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a gas

leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas using the

grill control knob before you turn on the LP tank valve. If the gas

regulator safety feature activates, the grill will only reach

temperatures between 250°F and 300°F even with all burners on

the high setting.

If your grill is not getting hotter than 250°F to 300°F these

steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety

device:

1. Open the grill lid.

2. Turn off all knobs on the control panel in front.

3. Turn off the tank knob.

4. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.

5. Wait 30 seconds.

6. Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank.

7. Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way. Do not put

excessive force on the valve at the full open position to avoid

damaging the valve.

8. Turn on the appropriate control knob and light the grill per the

instructions on the control panel.

An illustration of this process is included in this Product Guide.

See Troubleshooting section for additional information.

Pre-Heating Your Grill

Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated to

provide optimum performance. Pre-heat the grill on high for 10-

15 minutes – longer if weather conditions require. Please refer to

the lighting instructions inside the Product Guide if you have

questions about how to light your grill. A match-light chain and

hole is provided for your convenience.
