Beware of Spiders

EDGESTAR GRL360IBBNG - Beware of Spiders - 1

Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burners during warehousing, transit, and/or after long period of not using the grill. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “flashback” and can cause serious damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the grill user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “flashback,” it is the most common cause. Frequent inspection of the burners is necessary.

Maintaining Adequate Ventilation

When building a gas grill into outdoor cabinetry or an island, it is important to maintain proper ventilation. Ventilation is required to prevent the build-up of gas, which could ultimately lead to improper performance of the gas grill; damage to the grill; fire, explosion, or injury to the user. Always make sure that there is proper ventilation and that all flammable materials are placed at least 24 inches away from the grill on all side.

Be sure to clean the grill vents of all dirt, debris, insects, and spider webs.

Additionally, the grill functions best when protected from outdoor elements. The grill should be placed in a location that does not get direct rainfall. Wind can greatly affect the performance of any gas grill. Be advised that it can affect the ability of the grill to maintain a flame. When substantial wind enters the rear exhaust of the grill, it can create a gas build-up, which poses a fire risk.

Unpacking the Gas Grill

EDGESTAR GRL360IBBNG - Unpacking the Gas Grill - 1

WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the gas grill. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your gas grill before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your gas grill.

EDGESTAR GRL360IBBNG - Unpacking the Gas Grill - 2

Important: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your gas grill.

Check the rating label on your grill to ensure that the fuel source is appropriate for your application before trying to connect any gas lines.

Installing the Gas Grill

EDGESTAR GRL360IBBNG - Installing the Gas Grill - 1

Tip: Gather the model and serial number from the product label and write them down before installing the gas grill(s).

Notes About Installation

  • The gas grill should be installed in accordance with all local code requirements in addition to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54.
    • Installation by a professional is highly recommended for proper placement and functionality.

In the state of Massachusetts, installation and repairs MUST be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gas fitter qualified or licensed by the State of Massachusetts.

  • This gas grill is not intended to be installed in or on boats or recreational vehicles (RVs).
    • Make sure that there are no kinks and no twisting in gas supply hoses.

Installation Location

  • Ensure the gas grill is positioned safely away from anything that can catch fire. Under no circumstances should this gas grill be installed indoors or in a garage. Additionally, it should not be located under a carport, in a work shop, etc.
  • The gas grill should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight. A firm level surface is required.
  • Do not install the gas grill within 24 inches of wood stockpiles, gyprock, paper, or plants. Place the grill in an area where it can have a minimum of 24 inches clearance from combustible materials, including gasoline, flammable liquids or flammable vapors.
  • Adequate ventilation must be maintained for the grill to function properly. This will ensure gas does not build up.
  • Keep the grill protected from inclement weather conditions, including direct rain and high winds.
  • Once the gas grill is installed, you must still be able to access the gas supply line, regulator, gas cylinder, and shut off valves.

Types of Installation

This manual covers an EdgeStar gas grill series that includes models using either a Liquid Propane (LP) or a Natural Gas (NG) fuel source. Select your appropriate fuel type and follow the relevant installation instructions, as follows.

In each case, there must be adequate ventilation and access for service.

EDGESTAR GRL360IBBNG - Types of Installation - 1

WARNING: Inspect all gas tanks, gas supply hoses, and regulators each time you connect or disconnect the fuel source. Always turn off the gas supply when the gas grill is not in use.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder Specifications

  • Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be approximately 12 inches in diameter, and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately 20 pounds of propane.
  • The LP cylinder must have a shut-off valve (see picture below) terminating in a Type 1 LP.
  • A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a back-check valve which does not permit gas flow until a positive seal has been established.
  • The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder must be provided. This will expel high pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled or overheats which could result in fire or explosion otherwise.
  • All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and shall be provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
  • Read labels on the LP Gas Supply Cylinder.
  • New cylinders are always shipped empty for safety.
  • Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to fill or repair your LP gas supply cylinder. Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled.
  • After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to check that the relief valve remains effective and in good repair.

For appliances designed to use a CGA No.791 connection:

Place dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

  1. Use a bristled brush and run it through the orifices of the burner several times.

  2. Go over the exterior of the burner with a wire brush several times to loosen debris and residue. You may also wipe it with a terry cloth or damp rag without using any chemicals. For stubborn scale, you may use a scraper.

  3. Look at all burner ports (the small openings) and run a pipe cleaner or thin wire through them. Go over the exterior of the burner with a wire brush several times to loosen debris and residue.

Inspect All Ports

  1. Analyze the burner for corrosion and any damage caused by corrosion.

  2. Inspect ignition and burner orifices for corrosion and built-up of other residues.

Valve Ignition Orifice Burner Orifice

Cleaning the Infrared Burner(s)

The most effective way to clean your infrared burner(s) is to allow it to burn on the HIGH setting for five to 10 minutes. The infrared burner achieves high temperatures and will burn off most food and debris.

You may also use a wire brush to scrub away hardened grease and debris. You may remove each infrared burner from the firebox using the instructions on the prior page. Cotter pins must be removed from the cast pegs.

Inspecting / Adjusting the Air Shutter

If necessary, the gas to air mixture feeding to the main cast burners can be adjusted. With the main burner removed from the firebox, loosen the screw shown in the image below. Rotate the shutter clip. Tighten the screw and reinstall the burner.

NOTE: Before adjusting the air shutter, ensure that the burner has been cleaned.

EDGESTAR GRL360IBBNG - Inspecting / Adjusting the Air Shutter - 3

NOTE: The ideal flame coming off of the main burner is 1" – 1-1/2" tall. The color should be blue with yellow peaks. If the air shutter is closed too far, the flames will be much taller and yellow in color. This is because the gas running to the burners is not mixing with enough air.

Cleaning the Cooking Grates

Before and after using the grill, always allow the burners to heat up for five minutes with the hood closed and no contents on the cooking grates. Additionally, you will also need to clean the grates with a soap and water mixture. If you are cleaning the grates after using the grill, allow the grates to fully cool before handling them.

Cleaning the Ceramic Briquette Flame Tamers

Over time, the ceramic briquette flame tamers may will become dirty from grease, dirt, drippings, and debris. Periodic cleaning is required. Use a warm soapy water mixture and scrub the briquettes with a sponge and wipe with a terry cloth. If necessary, use a wire brush to loosen excess debris build-up. Always full dry the flame tamers before reinstalling them.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

The removable drip tray will collect grease as you use your grill. Inspect the drip tray frequently to ensure that grease and debris do not build up. The drip tray can be wiped with a warm soapy water mixture and a terry cloth. Use a wire brush, if necessary, to loosen hardened grease.

EDGESTAR GRL360IBBNG - Cleaning the Drip Tray - 1

WARNING: Grease build-up poses a fire hazard. Clean the drip tray regularly.

Exterior Cleaning

The stainless steel grill exterior may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution such as two tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water.

Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. Stainless steel can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or caustic cleaning agent. Maintenance of your stainless steel grill is important to extend the life of your grill. Stainless steel can and will rust and corrode if not cleaned properly and regularly.

Caring for Stainless Steel

Grills near swimming pools, high humidity areas, and coastal areas are particularly susceptible to stainless steel rusting. Moisture, high heat, salt / salt water, and chlorine in particular can cause damage. Your EdgeStar grill is constructed using high quality stainless steel, but take extra precautions to maintain the quality aesthetic and well-being of your grill. Additional steps for caring for your stainless steel grill are below:

• Clean up all grease spills and foreign materials that adhere to your grill as soon as possible.
- If using household cleaners made specifically for stainless steel, take care to wipe in the same direction as the graining / brushing of the stainless steel.
- When cleaning the area around your grill – floors, cabinetry, other appliances – take care to protect your grill when using other abrasive cleaning materials and sealants. Do not let these materials come into contact with your grill. If they do, clean them immediately with a warm soapy water mixture.
- If possible, use a cover designed for grills to shelter your grill from the elements. However, make sure the grill is not still hot or wet before covering the grill.
