Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate

or install the product. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free

operation of your new portable gas grill. We also advise you retain this manual for

future reference.

DANGERS AND WARNINGS

1. A minimum clearance of 254mm (10 inches) from combustible constructions to the

sides of the grill, and 254mm (10 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible

constructions must be maintained. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an

enclosed, unventilated area. This appliance must not be placed under overhead

combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed

until the fire is out. Do not throw water on. Do not try to smother

the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is

valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the

Fire Department.

2. The liquefied petroleum (LP) cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance

with the specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation

(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and

Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.

3. This outdoor grill is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles or boats.

Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper,

tent, car, boat or home. This appliance is not intended for and should

never be used as a heater.

4. This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they

are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.

5. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young

children and pets away while in use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant

ENGLISH

gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since the grill will become

very hot. Open the hood carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and

steam trapped inside.

6. Never use the grill without the grease tray installed and hung under the firebox. Without

the grease tray, hot grease and debris could leak downward and produce a fire hazard.

7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance. Keep

the burner tube and portholes clean and free from debris. Clean before use. Regular

care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.

8. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator to the

gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, over winter). Check

all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and brush. Never use an open

flame to check for leaks.

9. Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas

appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior to being used if there is evidence of

excessive abrasion or wear. Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been

supplied with this gas grill. Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer.

Do not use lava rock, wood chunks, charcoal, lighter-fluid, or spirit

for lighting your grill. Keep all such substances and liquids well away

from appliance when in use.

10. Operate this appliance using liquefied petroleum only, which is also specified on the

rating label on the unit. Do not attempt to operate your grill on other gases. Do not

attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas. Failure to follow this warning could

lead to fire, bodily harm, and will void your warranty.

PROPANE GAS WARNINGS

1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly filled or

an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the

warming of the LP gas tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP

gas to be released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released

from the cylinder is flammable and can be explosive.

2. Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents,

gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of

visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately by

a liquid propane supplier.

If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder,

do not attempt to light appliance. Extinguish any open flame.

Disconnect from fuel supply.

3. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot.

When grill is not in use, ensure regulator knob is turned to OFF and disconnect the

ENGLISH

gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is attached. Do

not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)

Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid

breathing toxic fumes from combustion or leaking gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless,

odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel.

Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels

can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss

of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas

from poisoning you, your family, or others:

• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or

in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be

mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.

• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide

poisoning.

• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants,

the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as

anemia, or heart disease.

The temperature readout on the thermometer can be affected by the following

factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the lid

being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.

For direct cooking on the main level cooking grid, place food on the cooking grid,

and then adjust the burner to the temperature required. Food is cooked directly

over the heat source. The burner heats up the flavor activator under the cooking

grid, which in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking

fall onto the hot flavor activator below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the

food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.

Use the direct cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook:

steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and more. These foods should be turned once

halfway through the grilling time. To sear meats, place them over direct high heat

for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time. Hamburgers,

steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing.

After searing, finish cooking the food at a lower temperature to immerse more

barbecue flavor.

Controlling

flare-ups

are part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique

flavor of barbequed food; however, excessive flare-ups can also overcook your

food and create a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups

may result from large amounts of fat on the food being cooked or the build-up of

grease in the grill. If excessive flare-ups occur, do not pour water on the flames.

This can cause grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm.

Instead, turn the regulator knob to OFF until the grease burns out. To prevent or

minimize flare-ups, trim all excess fat or skin from meats before grilling, keep the

grill clean and the grease tray empty.

The warming rack is a convenient way to cook food slowly and further away from

the heat source. It can also be used to warm items such as bread or rolls. When

opening the hood, be mindful for dripping fat from the upper warming rack that

could drip onto the back of the grill. Always check that your upper warming rack is

properly fitted before use.
