Frequently Asked Questions - 84131 HAMILTON BEACH

How do I assemble the Hamilton Beach 84131 gas grill?

Follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual. Start by attaching the casters and feet to the bottom shelf, then assemble the cart panels and frame. Lower the grill head onto the cart, attach side shelves, and install cooking grates, heat diffusers, and warming rack. Use the provided screws and wrench. Refer to the Assembly Steps section for details.

What type of gas does this grill use?

This grill is designed for LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) only. Do not use natural gas unless the grill has been reconfigured for it. Use the regulator and hose assembly provided with the grill.

How do I connect an LP tank to the grill?

Ensure the tank valve is OFF. Remove the protective cap from the tank valve. Hand-tighten the regulator nut onto the tank valve clockwise to a positive stop. Do not use a wrench. Then open the tank valve fully and check for leaks with soapy water. See the Gas Connection section for details.

How do I perform a leak test?

Mix one part liquid detergent with one part water. Apply the soapy solution to all gas connections from the LP tank to the manifold. Open the LP tank valve fully. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off the gas, tighten connections, and retest. Never use an open flame for testing. Refer to the Leak Testing section.

How do I light the grill?

Open the lid. Ensure all knobs are OFF. Push and turn a knob counterclockwise to the ignite position (⚡). Keep pushing until the burner lights, then release. Repeat for other burners. If it fails, turn OFF gas, wait 15 minutes, and try again or use match lighting. See Grill Lighting Instruction.

How do I clean the grill?

Clean the cooking area with a brass bristle brush dipped in water immediately after cooking (while hot). For burner cleaning, ensure gas is OFF and grill is cool. Use a wire brush and straightened paper clip to clear ports. Empty and wash the grease tray with mild detergent. Check for spider nests regularly. See Care and Maintenance.

How should I store the grill?

Clean the grill, turn off the gas at the LP tank, and disconnect the tank. Store the grill in a dry, well-ventilated outdoor area. If storing indoors, the LP tank must be removed and stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from children. Never store a spare LP tank near the grill. See Grill Storage.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Immediately shut off the gas supply to the grill. Extinguish any open flames. Open the grill lid. If the odor persists, keep away from the grill and call your gas supplier or fire department. Do not use the grill until the leak is fixed. Refer to the DANGER warnings.

What are the burner specifications?

The grill has 3 main burners, each with an output of 11,000 Btu/h, for a total of 33,000 Btu/h. The burners are side-ported to minimize blockage from grease and debris. Use only the regulator supplied by the manufacturer.

What is the warranty on the Hamilton Beach 84131?

The burners are warranted for 5 years and all other parts for 1 year from the original purchase date against defects in material and workmanship. Exclusions apply. Original sales receipt is required for warranty claims. Contact Consumer Affairs at 1-800-851-8900.

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

1. Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill, including the burner tie-down straps.
2. Do not smoke while leak-testing.
3. Never leak-test with an open flame.
4. Make a soapy solution with one part liquid detergent (or soap) and one part water. Prepare a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the connections. For the initial leak test, make sure the LP cylinder is full.
5. Grill must be leak-tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas-fired or electrical appliances and flammable materials.
6. Keep grill away from open flames and/or sparks while testing.

TO TEST

1. Make sure all control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Make sure the regulator is connected tightly to the LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning counterclockwise. If you hear a "POP" sound, turn gas off IMMEDIATELY because it indicates a heavy leak at the connection. Call your gas dealer or fire department.
4. Check every connection from the LP tank up to and including the connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or spraying the soapy solution on the connections.
5. If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY and retighten connections. Open LP tank valve again and recheck.
6. If leaks cannot be stopped, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. Call Consumer Affairs for help.
7. Always close the LP tank valve after leak-testing by turning clockwise. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

WARNING

For your safety:

• Keep grill area clear and free from any flammable material.
• NEVER let children operate the grill or play near the grill.
• This grill is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. NEVER use in a enclosed area such as a carport, porch, covered patio, garage, or under a surface that can catch fire.
• Do not block the ventilation holes in the four sides of the grill cart, since it may affect the combustion performance of the burner due to insufficient air.
• Use the grill at least 36" (91 cm) away from any wall or surface and 120" (305 cm) away from objects that may spark and ignite gas (i.e., live electrical appliances or pilot lights of water heaters).
• Do not use this grill on or under wood balconies.
• This grill is designed to use only LP gas. DO NOT use lava rock, briquettes, or charcoal in it.
• NEVER light the burner with the lid closed. Nonignited gas accumulated inside a closed grill may cause explosions.
• Check the burner flames periodically.
• Turn off the gas supply when the grill is not in use.
• Always turn off the LP tank completely and detach from the grill before moving.

POST-ASSEMBLY

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 heat diffusers. The igniter knobs are located on the valve panel. Follow the lighting instructions printed on the control panel.

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.

1. Make sure the grill has been leak-tested and is properly located.
2. Remove any packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions in this manual.
4. Turn the control knob to HI and preheat the grill for 15 minutes, or to desired temperature.
5. The grill lid is to be closed during the preheat period.
6. Place 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.
7. The grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is radiated by the stainless-steel flame tamers under the cast iron cooking grids.
8. The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer the preheat, the faster the meat browns.

POST-ASSEMBLY

SAFETY TIPS

SAFETY TIPS:

1. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change.
2. Always check for leaks before each use.
3. Use long barbeque tools to avoid burns.
4. 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 of the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
5. Disconnected LP tanks must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed areas.
6. Turn off all control knobs and LP tank valve when the grill is not in use.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

COOKING AREA CLEANING

The easiest way to clean the grill is to clean it immediately after turning off the flame when cooking is completed. 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 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. Never immerse a hot part in water.

GRILL BURNER CLEANING

• Be sure the tank valve 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 since it may break off and clog the port.
• Please note that if insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas through the burner, you will need to call Consumer Affairs.

VERY IMPORTANT: The orifice of the valve must be located in the center of the burner section after removal and cleaning. Otherwise, it may cause serious bodily injury and property damage. Swing the burner slightly after replacing to check whether it has been installed properly.

GREASE TRAY CLEANING

The grease tray should be emptied, wiped down periodically, and washed in a mild detergent and warm water solution. A small amount of sand may be placed in the bottom of the grease tray to absorb the grease.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners after storing. These nests can cause fires inside the tube or beneath the grill. This is a very dangerous condition. Always clean the burners before use.

WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS

Inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:

1. Yellow flame with burning smell.
2. Temperature will not rise.
3. Heats unevenly.
4. Burners make popping noises.
