POST-ASSEMBLY

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 thetarPis 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 supplier 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.

POST-ASSEMBLY

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL:

The grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and are side-ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and debris. Above the burners are porcelain-coated heat diffusers. The igniter knobs are located on the valve panel. Follow the lighting instructions printed on the control panel or in this manual.

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 the highest possible setting and preheat the grill 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 the lowest and highest possible settings.
7. The grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is radiated by the porcelain-coated heat diffusers 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.

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.
7. If the appliance is stored indoors, the LP tank must be disconnected and removed from the grill.
8. LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Disconnected LP tanks in storage or being transported must have a safety cap.
9. Never leave an LP tank in a recreational vehicle or boat which may become overheated by the sun.
10. Do not store LP tank in or near an area where children play.
11. For any other problems, see "Troubleshooting" or contact Consumer Affairs.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE:

1. Keep the grill area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

2. Keep the holes in the sides of the cart clear and free from debris, ensuring the flow of combustion and ventilation air is unobstructed.

3. Visually check burner flames as following:

4. Remove cooking grids and flame tamers.

5. Light burners.
6. Turn knobs from the highest to the lowest possible setting and check the flame status. The flame in the lowest position should be smaller than in the highest position, as figure shown below.

- Always check flame before each use. See "Troubleshooting" if any abnormal status is found.

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 control 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.
