CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS INSIDE BURNER

If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturi's and burners.

Spiders or small insects are know to create "flashback" problems by building nests and laying eggs in the appliance venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when ever the appliance has been idle for an extended period of time.

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.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting appliance.

1. Turn gas OFF at control knob and remove LP cylinder.

2. Open top cover, remove cooking grate and warming rack, shown A. This will expose the burner from inside, shown B.

3.Remove 3 screws attaching burner, shown C

4.From the top of the grill, carefully lift burner out, shown D.

1. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

2. Clean burner as recommended below, shown E We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one easiest for you.

(A)Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run hook through 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 burner tube several times.

(C)Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

1. 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.

8.Insert burner into firebox

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must reengage over valve opening. See illustration, shown F.

1. Reattach burner with screws removed in step 3. 10.Reinstall heat tent, cooking grates and

warming rack. Ensure Cooking Grate ridges run front to back (fig.A)

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC [phone], 10:00 am-4:00 pm EST.

How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.
• We recommend food to be at least 40^ before cooking in your appliance.
  Whole poultry should reach 165^ F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be cooked to 145^ F.
  NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
