Grilling 21-22

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!

Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity. This "Overfilling" may create a dangerous condition.

"Overfilled" tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tank pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:

1. When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total capacity.
2. If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store it near or under the grill/cart unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker with this warning is provided with the grill to remind you, your family and all others who may use your BBQ grill of these safety precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.
3. Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.

WARNING!

Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the "LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS" section of this manual. This grill is for outdoor use only.

WARNING!

Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to "SEAR". If burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again for any accumulated gas to dissipate.

WARNING:IMPORTANT!

Sticker

Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas "on". If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.

Never leave the appliance unattended during use.

Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions within this manual. Have your grill installed by a qualified installer. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you know where and how to shut off the gas to the grill. If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a "do-it-yourself" procedure Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the "ON" position and this must be don
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, portions of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill, in the cart or masonry enclosure. Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.
- Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation or is hot.
Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks, or insect activity. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi/valve section carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for gas leaks, deterioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.
■ Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or get too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
Always use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.
■ Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are pushing the ignition button when you attempt to light the grill.
■ After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see page 17).
■ When using the grill, do not touch the grill burner, grate, or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
Grease is flammable. Never operate the grill without a grease tray. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill grates or radiants. This can severely upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs or damaged ignition components.
■ Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer's directions.

WARNING!

Spiders and insects can nest in the grill burners, causing gas not to flow through the burner. The gas will flow from the front of the burner into the control panel. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill components and making it unsafe to operate.

WARNING!

Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING!

Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances as defined in the "INSTALLATION" section of this manual.

GRILL PLACEMENT

If wind is an issue, a wind screen should be added. The wind screen should be higher than the top of the opening in the back of the grill, with a minimum clearance of 3^ (for non-combustibles) or 12^ (for combustibles) from the back of the grill

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

■ When using the side burners always use flat bottomed pans which are large enough to cover the side burner. Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing. Position handles inward away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with unintentional spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of it when turning or stirring food. For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean periodically for optimum performance.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
■ Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
■ Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeway, covered structure or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.
If a cart unit is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool, fold the side shelf down, then push, never pull, the grill and never push or pull on the side shelves. If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children.
Never use the grill in a windy area.
■ Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane. Make sure you lock the castor wheels before operat-ing the grill.
- Do not use charcoal or lighter fluid in the outdoor grill.
- Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill and water (pools, fountains, puddles).
■ Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill or burner grate.
■ Have an ABC rated Fire Extinguisher accessible - never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids.
To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools.
Do not move the appliance during its use.
This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would result in injury or death.
When using a grill, be sure that all parts of the unit are firmly in place and that the grill is stable (can't be tipped over).
To put out flare-ups, adjust the controls to lower the temperature

LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES

Important!

Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill. To do so, loosen the 4 screws on the bottom sides of the grill which hold the brackets to the grill. Slide the shipping brackets off and retighten the screws.

FIG. 01

LOCATION:

When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths and keeping

any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible and away from heat sources. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Do not build the grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate.

If locating the grill in a windy area, try to locate the grill so the prevailing wind will blow air at the front of the grill as shown in Fig. 02. This will assist the grill in venting hot air thru the back of the grill. In addition, this will help keep any smoke from blowing at someone who is cooking on the grill. If you have to locate the grill in a windy area where the prevailing wind is at the rear of the grill, a windbreak must be installed. The windbreak should be made such that it will block wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown in Fig. 02. Location of the windbreak relative to rear of the grill must adhere to the clearances specified for combustible or non-combustible construction as defined in these instructions. Refer to following pages.

As high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the combustion process. Your grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the exhaust products out through the exhaust gap at the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air though your grill, leading to reduced performance, or in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the valve panel area. This can lead to problems such as having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valve panel surfaces become too hot to touch.

During high wind conditions, it is best if you don't use your grill. If you live in an area that is subject to frequent high winds, or a steady directional wind, then the installation of a suitable windbreak may be advised. If you have a grilling cart, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the valve panel, thus supporting the proper airflow. Winds hitting the back of the grill directly are the most likely to cause problems, although wind blowing along the exhaust gap in the rear can also be problematic.

Please note that damage to your grill resulting from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires, or valve panel discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.

GRILL PLACEMENT

Important!

Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be easily accessible.

INSTALLATION

LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES

Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*:

A minimum of 3^ clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6^ rear and side clearance to non-combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you'll be using the rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The grill can be placed directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface. (Fig. 03)

Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*

FIG.03

WARNING!

Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or serious personal injury.

WARNING!

The BGB Grill is designed to function in an open area. Recommended minimum clearances should be maintained to all surfaces (combustible and noncombustible) for optimum performance. Noncombustible material within the minimum clearance area could result in discoloration or deterioration.

WARNING!

If a noncombustible material such as stucco is covering a combustible material such as wood, the minimum clearance distance needs to be held to the wood. The presence of a noncombustible material inside the clearance zone does not eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible material.

• DEFINITION OF NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Material which is not capable of being ignited and burned, such as materials consisting entirely of, or a combination of, steel, iron, brick tile, concrete, slate, and plaster.

Clearances to Combustible Construction**:

Minimum of 12^ from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical combustible construction, above the counter top level. You should take in account that there is a large volume of heat, and smoke will exhaust from the rear of the grill. This may discolor or damage unprotected areas (Fig. 04). Do not install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.

A 12" minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible construction. The clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket.

INSTALLATION

LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES

Clearances to Combustible Construction**

FIG. 04

**DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Any materials of a building structure or decorative structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic or other materials that are capable of transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or surface-painted, or plastered.

Important!

It is required that a minimum of (3) 10 sq. inches of ventilation opening be provided for both the left and right sides, as well as the back of enclosure (Fig. 06 and 07), in order to safely dissipate unburned gas vapors in the event of a gas supply leak.

WARNING!

Note specific built-in enclosure ventilation requirements. See text and Fig. 06.

GENERAL

The grill is designed for easy placement into built-in masonry enclosures. For non-combustible applications the grill drops into the opening shown in Fig. 05 and hangs from its side flanges. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom. When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure application, see the bottom of Fig. 05. The insulation jacket assembly must be supported from the bottom by a ledge on each side and back or a solid deck.

A carpenter's "spirit level" should be used to assure that the unit is level both front-to-back and side-to-side. If it is not level, burner combustion may be erratic or the unit may not function efficiently for grease flow. If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling may be required after each moving of a freestanding unit.

INSULATED JACKET:

WARNING!

Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket could result in fire, property damage and personal injury.

If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary. Insulated jackets are available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has specifically been designed and tested for this purpose. Review the detail drawing shown (Fig. 05) and take into account the provisions shown for gas line hook-up clearance in the right rear corner. It is required that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure to eliminate the potential build-up of gas in the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat and strong enough to support the grill and insulated jacket. The counter should also be level.

Layout for insulated jacket only - combustible enclosure:

WARNING!

If installing the grill into a non-combustible enclosure, all combustible construction must still be outside the 12 inch clearance zone. If your island is made of stucco over the top of wooden studs, the wood can not be inside the 12 inch clearance zone to combustible, even though the stucco is what is touching the grill area.

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5kPa) . The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5kPa) . The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Installation in Can ada must be in accordance with Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, and/or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2 and local codes.

NATURAL GAS HOOK UP: (THIS TYPE OF CONNECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED OR LICENSED TECHNICIAN ONLY.)

Connection: 1 / 2^ NPT male with 3 / 8'' flare adapter. Operating pressure: 4.0'' W.C. Supply pressure: 5'' to 14'' water column. If in excess of 14'' W.C., a step down regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility company or local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP gases.

TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL:

Assemble as shown (Fig. 08). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer-supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

FIG. 08 Natural Gas

Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.

INSTALLATION

GAS HOOK-UP

Connection: 1 / 2^ NPT male with a 3 / 8'' Flare adapter (included). LP Hose with a quick disconnect and fittings are included. Operating pressure: 11.0'' W.C.

Note: All gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.

CAUTION!

Before connecting LP tank to regulator, check that all grill burners and side burners, smokers, and rotisserie valves are in the OFF position and open grill lid.

To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig. 09) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the "HI" position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge, turn valves off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the burners.

To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank.

LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:

A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. The cylinder that is used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.

Note:

When an LP unit is being directly connected to an LP house system, you must follow the natural gas hook up guidelines. The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the gas pressure to 11" W.C.

The Grill comes with the LP Gas Regulator/Hose assembly installed at the factory. The assembly, along with the entire

Grill system, is leak tested. Do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the Grill during installation.

WARNING:

1. Do not remove the Grill from the pallet until you are ready to install.
2. Do not place the Grill directly on the ground or any other flat surface without support. This will prevent damaging the regulator/hose assembly by the weight of the grill.
3. Check the hose, regulator and connectors for damage. Look for cracks, abrasions, brittleness, holes, dents and nicks.
4. Do not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the Regulator/Hose assembly by yourself. It must be done by a qualified licensed technician only.

INSTALLATION

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:

Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. The valve panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings. Remove the knobs and the safety valve knob, then remove the 2 screws which fasten the valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips screw driver for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the ignition module and the back of the ignition button. In the back of the unit remove the screws which hold the service panel in place. Remove the service panel.

To Test:

Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position. Turn the gas supply "ON". Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe.

To check rotisserie burner and safety valve the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections located behind the service panel. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.

WARNING!

Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks (Fig. 16 & 17).

FIG.17 Nat.Gas

INSTALLATION BURNER ADJUSTMENT

GRILL BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT:

Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply or a conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners (except the rotisserie burner) should be visually checked and compared to that of the drawing in Fig.18. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips (LP units may have some yellow tipping), excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. Proceed with air shutter adjustment. The amount of air which enters a burner is governed by a metal cup at the inlet of the burner called an air shutter. It is locked in place by a screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment.

GRILL BURNER FLAME HEIGHT:

Before beginning, ensure the grill is OFF and cool. To access the grill burner air shutters, first remove the grates and radiants from the firebox, then remove the grill burner using instructions shown on page 29, Fig. 46. With a screw driver, loosen the lock screw on the face of the air shutter slightly so that the air shutter can be adjusted.

To Adjust:

1. Be careful as the burner may be very hot.
2. If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counterclockwise to allow more air to the burner.
3. If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise. Reinstall the U-burner, ensuring the burner is level. Light the burner and check the flame. If all is okay, remove the burner (CAUTION - burner may be hot, allow time to cool) and tighten the air shutter screw. If not repeat the above procedure to readjust the air shutter.

LOW FLAME SETTING ADJUSTMENT:

The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting. Due to fluctuations in gas pressure, heating value or gas conversion, you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in the low position. We do not recommend adjusting the infrared rotisserie burner.

To Adjust:

1. Light the burner.
2. Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (all the way counter-clockwise).
3. Remove the knob.
4. While holding the valve shaft with pliers, insert a thin, flat tipped screwdriver into the shaft and while viewing the burner adjust to a minimum stable flame (Fig. 19).

The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height.

FIG.19 Low Setting Adjustment

Fig. 20

■ For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow flames to curl up the side of the pan (see Fig. 20).
■ Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with medium to low flames. If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid, a slightly larger flame can be used.

WARNING:IMPORTANT!

Before lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas "on". If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.

USING THE GRILL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Open the grill lid and/or remove the top grate cover from side burner (for 48BQR) before lighting. Turn all knobs to "OFF". Turn the main gas supply on slowly. If you smell gas, shut off gas supply and call for service.

Push and hold the ignition button, turn the selected burner knob to "SEAR". If burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds, turn knob "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again for any accumulated gas to dissipate.

Grill Match Lighting:

If the burner will not light after several attempts then the burner can be match lit. If you've just attempted to light the burner with the ignition, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face as far away from the grill as possible and hold and pass a lit, paper book match over the hole located on the top left for burner on the left, or the right hole for the right burner (Fig. 26 & Fig. 27). Push and turn the control knob which is centered on the burner where the lit match is located, to "SEAR". If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob off, wait 5 minutes and try again.

FIG.26

FIG.27

Once the left or right burner is lit, the adjacent burner can be lit by the cross-lighting method. For center burners to cross light, light the adjacent far left or right burner using the standard or match light procedure. Push and turn the control knob for the desired center burner to "SEAR". The gas will be ignited by the adjacent burners flame. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knob off, wait 5 minutes and try again.

NOTE:

Improper lighting procedures can cause the LP tank flow control to activate, resulting in reduced heat output. If this is suspected, to reset flow control, shut off all burner controls and LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds, then turn LP cylinder valve on extremely slowly, wait five (5) seconds and push and hold the ignition button and turn burner valve on to "SEAR".

TO LIGHT DUAL SIDE BURNERS (48BQR MODELS ONLY):

CAUTION!

The side burner cover may be hot if the grill burners are in operation.

Side Burners Lighting Instructions:

First remove the burner cover and any cooking utensils from the burner grate. Push and hold the ignition button, turn the control knob to the "HI" position until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner doesn't ignite, wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate then try again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, check the trouble shooting instructions on page 31.

Side Burners Match Lighting:

Hold a lit paper book match near the burner ports, turn the control knob counterclockwise to "HI". Move your hand immediately once the burner is lit. Rotate the control knob to the desired setting.

Note:

If you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned "off". This "extinction pop" is normal for propane gas.

WARNING

Failure to follow the steps in the order shown may cause the Flow Limiting Device to activate resulting in extremely low gas flow and improper operation.

All knots must be in the OIT position before opening LP tank valve.

Attach regulator hose assembly to tank.

Now open the LP tank valve two 2D full turns min.

FIG. 29

Side burners:

Your side burner is equipped with burners typical of those used in restaurants. These burners are designed for maximum cleanliness and controlability. The burner should never be operated if the cap is not in place (Fig. 29).

USING THE GRILL

GRILLING

GRILL:

Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, stainless steel heat baffles, a series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel radiant, and a stainless steel heat retaining grate. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr. Below the burners there is a stainless steel heat baffle which reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces temperatures of the drip pan below. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants which encase the ceramic rods and protect the grill burner ports from blockage (Fig. 30).

FIG. 30

The grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods. Because of the porosity of ceramic rods, performance is superior in the rods' ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burn

ers. They also possess the thermal mass needed for even cooking performance. Flare ups are controlled because the radiant ceramic rods keeps grease from getting to the flames and igniting. The intense heat produced by this system produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized. Discoloration of the grates are normal after use.

DIRECT/INDIRECT COOKING NOTES:

Direct cooking involves placing food on grates over lighted burners. Use this method for foods that take less than 20 minutes to cook or to sear larger items at the start of the cooking process that will then be indirectly cooked to finish. Place items on the preheated surface and leave until they no longer stick. Turning too soon and too often is one of the most common grilling mistakes. Never spray water on the grill or into grease. The patented Grease Management System™ reduces flare-ups by channeling grease away from the flame. Use a meat thermometer to achieve desired doneness and remove items one degree below how you would like to enjoy them, as the resting period before carving or consuming will raise the temperature.

Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect cooking uses heat from adjacent burners to cook food and, in many cases, reduces the possibility of overcooked or overly browned food. Foods most appropriate for indirect grilling included breads, thicker pieces of chicken or steaks. Indirect cooking involves placing the food on grates where the burners below are not lit and then closing the grill top to create an oven effect. All the items you usually oven-roast can be grilled to perfection using indirect heating. Preheat the burners surrounding the food to be cooked. Use you grill to hold food and add water or chicken broth to the pan to prevent the natural juices from burning or evaporating.

IMPORTANT Using the Grill:

To season the grates, pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil on a soft cloth and rub on both sides of the grates. Only a light coating is needed and some smoke may be visible during the preheating. Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the "MEDIUM" to "LOW" 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

USING THE GRILL

GRILLING (Continued)

the cooking time.

1. Check to be certain the drip pan and grease tray are in place.
2. Light the grill burners using the instructions on page 20.
3. Preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes. Once you have verified the burners are lit, put the lid down to preheat.
4. Place the 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 "SEAR" and "LOW" - most grilling done is between "MED" and "LOW" settings.
5. When you have finished using the grill, turn the burner knobs to "OFF" and shut off the main gas supply.
6. Allow grill to cool and clean the grates, drip pan and grease tray after each use.

Note:

If using LP gas, your preheat time may be shorter than recommended. To prevent overcooking or burning, you may want to lower heat settings.

GRILLING HINTS:

The doneness of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected to a large degree by the thickness of the cut. Expert chefs say it is impossible to have a rare doneness with a thin cut of meat. The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat, the size and shape of the cut, the temperature of the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of doneness desired. When defrosting meats it is recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microwave. This in general yields a juicier cut of meat. Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat, as a spatula will not puncture the meat and let the juices run out. To get the juiciest meats, add seasoning or salt after the cooking is finished and turn the meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several times). Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface. Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. To prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking, slit the fat around the edges at 2-inch intervals.

DUAL-SIDED GRATES:

Whether you or your guests crave seafood, steak or veggies, the double-sided grates provide varying surfaces for varying textures. The "W"-shaped side creates nice sour lines for steaks, chicken and chops and routes oil and grease away from the food. The opposite "radius" side offers more surface area for support and handling of delicate items like scallops. (See below for a sample list of which foods to cook on which side of the grate.) Keep the grates mixed-half on one side and half on the other or a percentage that best represents what you are cooking.

"W"-SHAPED GRATE RADIUS GRATE
· chicken (bone-in and boneless cuts) · steaks · chops · burgers · ribs · kabobs · steak cuts of fish like tuna and swordfish · whole fish · game · oysters · large slices of whole vegetables and mushrooms · fruit · bread · sausages · hot dogs	· delicate fish fillets · lobster meat · shrimp · scallops · clams · mussels · suckling pig · turkey legs · indirect cooking and smoking · potatoes · smaller vegetables or slices · roasted peppers · roasted whole garlic · pizza dough and flat breads · crab cakes

The smoker system on each grill consists of a stainless steel slide out tray which is positioned above a 3,500 Btu/hr burner. The burner is controlled by a precision brass valve which is capable of being turned down to very low heat levels. The system may be used alone for low temperature roasting and smoking or in conjunction with any combination of other burners. When using the smoker system in conjunction with the optional infrared rotisserie burner, you'll find it helpful to use the low setting of the smoker burner to minimize the heat rising up to the rotisserie basting pan. Staggering the meat away from the smoker burner also helps.

To minimize burn potential do not completely remove the smoker tray when hot.

FIG. 31 36 / 48 Grill Smoker System

Open the lid and remove the smoker tray. Locate the burner visually by looking through the cut-out in the valve panel. Push and hold the ignition button, turn the control knob to the "HI" position until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner doesn't ignite, wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate, then try again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, wait 5 minutes, then match light using a paper book match through the cut-out in the valve panel. Once lit, fill the smoker tray and replace.

WOOD CHIPS:

There are many wood chips available for purchase and selection is based on personal taste. The most common wood chips used are mesquite or hickory. Mesquite has a sweeter taste and is commonly used with poultry

FIG. 32

and seafood. Hickory is best suited for red meats. Use of oak, cherry, maple, aspen or apple is also common while aromatic herbs like sage, bay leaves, thyme or basil may also be used. Soaking the chips in water before using them will help ensure the wood chips smoke and do not flame up. To start, you may want to use the "HI" position to start the chips smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level to prevent them from drying out and flaming. If the wood chips do flame up, add a small amount of water to extinguish the flame. This should be done carefully through the top in the grill area, or by pulling the tray out slightly. Use caution when adding water to a hot tray to avoid steam burns, and never completely remove a hot tray. When smoking, the lid should remain closed as much as possible to maximize the effect. During extended roasting periods it is normal to add fresh wood chips to the tray several times.

USING THE ROTISSERIE

The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The location of the burner allows the placement of the rotisserie basting pan (included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are especially good with the addition of pineapple slices and brown sugar to the basting pan. The rotisserie burner is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other methods, this intense heat is magnificent for searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.

FIG.33

Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5

minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to a 50 lb. cut of meat or poultry. The rotisserie motor on the grills is secured down to a cast rotisserie block with two black screw-down knobs. The rotisserie block is in turn bolted to the right side panel. The rod for the rotisserie is assembled into the motor assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor, and resting the handle end on the support at the left side of the grill. With the rod pushed as far as possible into the motor, the grooved rod should rest on the rollers.

To load the rod begin with the handle in place, and slide one of the meat holders (prongs facing away from the handle) onto the rod. Push the rod through the center of the food, then slide the second meat holder (prongs toward the food) onto the rod. Center the product to be cooked on the rod then push the meat holders firmly together. Tighten the 'L' shape screw with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butchers string or dental floss (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any loose portions.

Once the food is secure, insert the rod into the motor. If needed, remove the grill grates. Place the basting pan beneath the food. It is normal for the rod to flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.

Also, the motor is equipped with a halogen bulb to provide light when other sources of light are not sufficient. Use only a 50W Max. Halogen Narrow Flood replacement bulb.

WARNING!

Halogen lamps are constructed of a glass bulb with a pressurized internal filament tube that operates at high temperatures and could unexpectedly shatter. Should the outer bulb break, particles of extremely hot glass could be discharged into the fixture enclosure and/or surrounding environment, thereby creating a risk of personal injury or fire. When replacing the bulb, let the bulb cool, and assure that power to the light has been turned off. Never allow the hot bulb to come into contact with water. DO NOT TOUCH the light bulb when in use. It may be hot enough to cause injury.

FIG. 34

USING THE ROTISSERIE

WARNING!

Never have the grill burners (bottom burners) on during Rotisserie cooking. It will burn your meat and make it very dry. Use only one section at a time, grill or rotisserie.

PREPARATION

Recommended:

Dental floss or butcher string, scissors, broiler pan (bottom only), pliers, instant read thermometer, foil, and hot pads.

Working Area:

Allow enough space to accommodate food and rotisserie rod assembly in a clean environment.

Meat Preparation:

Tie meat with butcher string or Dental floss in three areas. Buy a roast that is equally balanced from top to bottom in size. The meat will cook more evenly while on the Rotisserie. For Poultry, tie wings and legs to the body using Dental floss or butcher string to prevent flopping around while turning. (Fig. 35)

FIG. 35

1. Determine the center placement for the food, put first prong on the rod, turn 'L' shaped screw to tighten.
2. Center tied meat/poultry on the rod, place second prong, turn 'L'- shape screw to tighten. (Fig. 36)
3. Pick up the rod, rotate it to check for balance. If not, adjust prongs and food to balance. Take pliers and tighten the 'L'- shape screws on both sides of the prong.
4. Remove grates and top rack on the grill. Place bottom portion of broiler pan on ceramic rods, so meat drippings can be caught in pan. (Fig. 37).

FIG. 36

FIG. 37

USING THE ROTISSERIE

TO LIGHT THE ROTISSERIE BURNER BEFORE COOKING:

The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the rotisserie during windy conditions. As an added safety feature we've equipped the burner with an automatic safety valve which will not allow gas to flow to the rotisserie burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob on:

1. The safety valve button is pressed, and held down.
2. The safety valve thermocouple has been sufficiently heated to keep safety valve open.

Open the lid. Push and hold the ignition button. You'll hear a snapping sound. Turn the control knob to "HI". Engage the safety valve button and continue to hold until the burner is lit. Once lit, turn control knob to desired setting. If the burner does not light within 4 to 5 seconds, release the safety valve button and turn the control knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again.

If relighting a hot burner, wait 5 minutes.
Never leave the control knob on if rotisserie is not in use.
Never light a grill burner under the rotisserie while rotisserie burner is lit.

MANUAL LIGHTING:

To manually light the rotisserie, place a butane lighter near the tip of the thermocouple as shown in Fig. 38. Turn the control knob to "HI". Hold the safety valve button in for about 4 to 5 seconds or until the burner remains lit. Once lit, turn control knob to desired setting. If the burner does not light within 4 or 5 seconds, release the safety valve button and turn the control knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again.

WARNING!

Keep hands and face away from front of burner! STAND TO THE SIDE WHEN LIGHTING. ONCE LIT MOVE HAND AWAY QUICKLY.

FIG. 38

WARNING!

Electrical Grounding Instructions: This appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle or a three-prong grounded extension cord rated for the power of the rotisserie motor and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. Use only a ground fault interrupter (GFI) protected circuit.

The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990. Keep the rotisserie motor electric cord away from the heated surfaces of the grill. When not in use, remove and store the motor in a dry location. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord or plug in water or other liquid. Unplug rotisserie unit from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the rotisserie to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

USING THE ROTISSERIE

COOKING ON ROTISSERIE

1. Place prepared rod into motor, lay across to other side in groove (Fig.39).
2. Verify placement as shown in Fig. 40.
3. Ignite burner, start rotisserie motor, and keep on rotisserie valve on "high" for cooking all meats on the rotisserie.
4. To check temperature of the meat, turn off motor, turn temperature to low while using your instant-read thermometer. For poultry it should read 170^ in the breast. Thermometer should touch the breastbone, then lift up 3/4 inch from the bone to get a more accurate temperature reading. Remove thermometer and turn on motor, return heat to high if more cooking is needed. Repeat above instructions (Fig. 41).
5. When you have finished using the rotisserie, turn off motor and turn the rotisserie knob to "OFF". If you have finished using the appliance altogether, turn the main gas supply off too.
6. Remove the rod, using hot pads, place meat or poultry on broiler pan, then remove prongs (Fig. 42).

WARNING!

The fork rods are very sharp. Keep hands away from tips when removing the food.

1. Cover with foil for a 15 to 20 minute waiting time. Meat will carve better and juices will go back into the meat.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

BATTERY REPLACEMENT:

1. Remove drip pan.
2. Open cart door (on cart model only).
3. Pull battery downwards (This may require use of pliers).
4. Re-install upward and push to snap - Fig. 43. (Polarity is shown in Fig. 44).

Note:

Battery condition should be checked at least once a year.

FIG.43

FIG.44

REGULATOR AND HOSE REPLACEMENT

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. If replacements are needed, contact Customer Care [phone]. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. If the unit is LP, screw the regulator into the tank and leak check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before operating the grill. Turn all knobs to "OFF" then turn on the gas supply. If LP, is there gas in the tank?

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.
DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.
- Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the connections before each use.
■ Do not attempt to "LITE" the grill if the odor of gas is present.
Wait 5 minutes before relighting a hot grill.

WARNING: IMPORTANT!

Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas "on". If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.

GRILL GRATES:

Method 1: Turn on "HI" for 15-20 minutes to burn any remaining food particles. After turning the grill "OFF", use a bristle barbeque brush to remove any remainin food particles or ash.

Method 2: The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a soft brass bristle barbeque brush in a mixture of 2 cups of tap water and 1/2 cup of vinegar and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water and vinegar. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall onto the ceramic rods and burn or fall into the drip pan. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult.

Method 3: Take about 1 foot of aluminum foil, crumpled up in a ball and rub it over cooled grates to release food particles.

Note:

Grill grates must be re-seasoned after cleaning to prevent rust stains.

DRIP PAN AND GREASE TRAY:

The full width drip pan with grease tray will collect grease from the grill section and boil overs and spills from the side burners. Allow the pan and its contents to cool before attempting to clean. Clean grease from the pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.

CERAMIC RODS:

It is not necessary to remove the ceramic rods for cleaning. They burn themselves clean during the next cooking operation. Periodically the trays holding the ceramic rods need to be turned over, and shaken free of debris for a thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and type of food cooked will determine when it is necessary to clean the trays. If grease can be seen on the top of the tubes or if you get a lot of flare-up during cooking, the tubes need to be turned over and heated on "HI" for 30 minutes; longer for heavy soil.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

STAINLESS STEEL:

The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many different stainless steel clean

ers available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with wet 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust. For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the grain.

Note:

Stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides and sulfides especially in coastal areas. To ensure corrosion prevention, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks with fresh water and stainless cleaner. Keep grill covered when not in use.

ELECTRODES:

Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the electrode (see Fig. 45).

GRILL BURNER:

Ensure gas supply has been turned off. Remove the grill grates, then lift out the grill radiant tray. Grasp the burner, pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front, angle the burner sideways, and remove.

TO REMOVE THE U-BURNERS FOR CLEANING

Grip the U-burner as shown in the photo (Fig. 46) and press downwards with your thumbs on the bracket in the back while lifting up on the U-Burner. In some cases it may be necessary to use a screw driver to pry open the slot to release the U-burner. After cleaning, when re-installing the U-Burner ensure the U-Burner is completely level and locked in place. This is needed to ensure your grill provide even cooking performance.

GRILL BURNER CLEANING:

Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Shake out any debris through the air shutter. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened (See Fig. 47).

FIG.45

FIG.46

FIG.47

ORIFICE CLEANING:

With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle (Fig. 47).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DANGER

Fig. 48

Note:

When replacing grill and/or smoker burners, or orifices following cleaning, confirm orifice penetration into burner as shown in Fig. 48

Be careful not to upset the air shutters' original position (unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the burner into the cutouts on the support channel at the rear of the burner box. Make sure it is level and does not rock. Light all of the burners and check for proper flame characteristics. If adjustments are necessary, refer to page 17. Do this prior to cooking on the grill.

SIDE BURNERS (BGB48 BQR MODEL):

For proper lighting and performance keep the burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even though the electrode clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, or when the flame does not burn blue. Be certain all burner knobs are in the off position before attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning. When the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate. The burner cap and the brass port ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are porcelain enamel. Follow the directions on the previous page for cleaning that were given for the burner grates. A bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary. After cleaning, it is important to make sure the location pins on the bottom side of the port ring are properly aligned with the corresponding holes in the base. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance (see Fig. 49).

FIG. 49

SMOKER BURNER:

The smoker burner can be removed and cleaned by unplugging the electrode wire and lifting out the burner. Cleaning is similar to the grill burner. Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice, centering it in the hole.

TROUBLESHOOTING

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE:

If the grill does not function properly, use the following checklist before contacting your dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call. Troubleshooting is for general purposes only. If the problem persists and you feel you require service, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized agency to perform service. Only authorized agencies can perform warranty service. Call DCS Customer Care at [phone].

GRILL WON'T LIGHT WHEN THE IGNITION BUTTON IS PUSHED:
