DANGERS AND WARNINGS

1. A minimum clearance of 254mm (10 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 254mm (10 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Do not throw water on. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.

1. The liquefied petroleum (LP) cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
2. This outdoor grill is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles or boats.

Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper, tent, car, boat or home. This appliance is not intended for and should never be used as a heater.

1. This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant

gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since the grill will become very hot. Open the hood carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside.

1. Never use the grill without the grease tray installed and hung under the firebox. Without the grease tray, hot grease and debris could leak downward and produce a fire hazard.
2. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance. Keep the burner tube and portholes clean and free from debris. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.
3. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, over winter). Check all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and brush. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
4. Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior to being used if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear. Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been supplied with this gas grill. Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer.

Do not use lava rock, wood chunks, charcoal, lighter-fluid, or spirit for lighting your grill. Keep all such substances and liquids well away from appliance when in use.

1. Operate this appliance using liquefied petroleum only, which is also specified on the rating label on the unit. Do not attempt to operate your grill on other gases. Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas. Failure to follow this warning could lead to fire, bodily harm, and will void your warranty.

1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP gas tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the cylinder is flammable and can be explosive.
2. Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately by a liquid propane supplier.

If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder, do not attempt to light appliance. Extinguish any open flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.

1. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot. When grill is not in use, ensure regulator knob is turned to OFF and disconnect the

gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is attached. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.

CARBON MONOXIDE ("THE SILENT KILLER")

Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid breathing toxic fumes from combustion or leaking gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:

• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

Keep the grill away from windy areas but keep the grill in a well-ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of the combustion and ventilation air around the grill.

- CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

A minimum clearance of 254mm (10 inches) from the sides of the grill and a minimum clearance of 254mm (10 inches) from the back of the grill to adjacent vertical combustible constructions must be maintained. We strongly recommend a 305cm (10 ft.) clearance of the grill to your home or any building.

- CLEARANCE TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

A minimum clearance of 254mm (10 inches) from the back of the grill above the cooking surface to noncombustible constructions is required to allow the grill hood to open completely. A minimum of 254mm (10 inches) clearance to the sides of the grill above the cooking surface to noncombustible constructions is recommended.

WARNING: Do not place the grill under overhead, unprotected combustible surfaces.

GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

The grill is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. When purchasing a gas cylinder for use with this unit, ensure it meets the following requirements:

1. 1 lb. capacity.
2. Marked "PROPANE."
3. Constructed and marked in accordance with 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 (see label for marking).
4. Provided with a cylinder connection device that is compatible with the grill's regulator port.

CAUTION: It is important to inspect the cylinder connection device. Check the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use.

DISCONNECTING A GAS CYLINDER

1. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by turning the knob clockwise to the OFF position.
2. Turn the cylinder counter-clockwise (by hand) to disconnect from the regulator valve opening. Replace the protective caps on the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder for storage (if not empty).

NOTE: If storing the grill indoors, leave the gas cylinder outdoors.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GRILL COOKING

The temperature readout on the thermometer can be affected by the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the lid being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.

• MAIN LEVEL COOKING

For direct cooking on the main level cooking grid, place food on the cooking grid, and then adjust the burner to the temperature required. Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The burner heats up the flavor activator under the cooking grid, which in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot flavor activator below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.

Use the direct cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and more. These foods should be turned once halfway through the grilling time. To sear meats, place them over direct high heat for 2 to 5 minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time. Hamburgers, steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing. After searing, finish cooking the food at a lower temperature to immerse more barbecue flavor.

Controlling flare-ups are part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique flavor of barbequed food; however, excessive flare-ups can also overcook your food and create a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups may result from large amounts of fat on the food being cooked or the build-up of grease in the grill. If excessive flare-ups occur, do not pour water on the flames. This can cause grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. Instead, turn the regulator knob to OFF until the grease burns out. To prevent or minimize flare-ups, trim all excess fat or skin from meats before grilling, keep the grill clean and the grease tray empty.

The warming rack is a convenient way to cook food slowly and further away from the heat source. It can also be used to warm items such as bread or rolls. When opening the hood, be mindful for dripping fat from the upper warming rack that could drip onto the back of the grill. Always check that your upper warming rack is properly fitted before use.

PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING

A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas grill, perform a leak test on the connection between the regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak test should be performed a

minimum of once a season, as well as:

• before lighting your grill for the first time,
• every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
• after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
• after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.

HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST

Supplies Required:

1 x Bowl ( empty, clean) 1 x Paint Brush ( clean) Dish Washing Liquid Water

Procedure:

1. Position the grill in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the grill is cool to the touch, and not in use. Verify that the regulator value is turned to the OFF position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.

IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby.

1. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid in a bowl. The solution will make bubble, as it will be concentrated.
2. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for streams of bubbles coming from a defect or break in the seal.

NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten only. Repeat leak test after re-installation to ensure seal is secure.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas grill if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Service for alternative measures of testing to ensure proper precaution.

FIRST USE - GRILL BURN-OFF

Once your grill has been leak tested (no leaks are present) and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off. Start the grill and operate at high heat (over 233^ C / 450^ F) with the lid down for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.

PREHEATING

It is important to allow your grill to preheat before every cook session. This allows the grill and cooking grids to heat up quicker, kill off bacteria and other pathogens leftover from past grill sessions, and the grill is then able to maintain its cooking temperature once your food is placed in the cooking area. Preheat with the lid closed.

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Verify that the regulator knob is turned to the OFF position. Open the lid of the grill to release any trapped gas.
2. Note the triangular indicator mark on the silver regulator housing. Push in the regulator knob and turn 270 degrees (or 3/4) counter-clockwise to HIGH.
3. Push the igniter button in repetitively until the catches flame. Listen for a "click" sound to indicate a spark from the igniter, and look for flame to ensure the burner is lit.
4. After the burner has caught fire, begin to preheat your grill with the lid closed. Turn the regulator knob to your desired level, and allow the unit to preheat for approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
5. After preheating is complete, you are ready to enjoy your grill at your desired temperature!

If the burner goes out during operation, turn the regulator knob to the OFF position. Open the grill lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.

IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE

If for any reason your igniter fails after three of four attempts, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method.

1. Ensure the regulator knob is turned to the OFF position. Open the lid of the grill to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
2. After five minutes, check the following:

- Visually confirm that the igniter is working by pushing the igniter button and looking at the igniter tip for a spark. If no spark, adjust the distance between the igniter (electrode) tip and burner to 4.5mm (3/16").

- Visually confirm that the burner tube and portholes are not obstructed. If blocked, follow Care & Maintenance instructions.

1. If the above points do not work, follow Troubleshooting instructions.

MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Verify that the regulator knob is turned to the OFF position. Open the lid of the grill to release any trapped gas.
2. Note the triangular indicator mark on the silver regulator housing. Push in the regulator knob and turn 270 degrees (or 3/4) counter-clockwise to HIGH.
3. Quickly and carefully, using a long match or long-nosed lighter, place a lit flame near the burner and watch the burner catch flame. Do not attempt to light another area of the burner. This can cause injury.

NOTE: Do not use spirit, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.

1. Continue start-up by following steps four and five of Automatic Start-Up Procedure.

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL

1. When finished cooking, turn the regulator knob to the OFF position, and allow the regulator knob to pop out. This safety feature locks the regulator knob to ensure that the gas is no longer flowing.
2. Open the lid of the grill to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate and the grill to cool from use.

WARNING: Allow the grill to cool completely, and remove the gas cylinder, before moving, travel, or for storage.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CHECKING THE GAS LEVEL

To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the tank and slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your tank; if 34 empty, replace with full tank.

IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of such material will void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

CLEANING FREQUENCY

Any Pit Boss unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. An important step is allowing the grill and cooking grids to self-clean by running the grill at a high temperature for 5 to 10 minutes after each use. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your grill:

1. BURNER COMPONENTS

• Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on the burner tube or in the burner portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. If storing the grill or before an extended period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
• The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food deposits on the burner surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow.

2. INSIDE SURFACES

• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush (brass or soft metal), remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the grill off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease tray often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of foods that are cooked.

3. OUTSIDE SURFACES

• This grill is made of stainless steel, which is non-rusting in certain conditions. After initial grilling, certain areas of the grill may discolor. This is normal discoloration caused by the intense heat from the burner. Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can usually be removed with warm soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. Wipe your grill down after each use.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed, with the gas cylinder removed (must be stored outdoors).

TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Follow these helpful tips and techniques, passed on from Pit Boss owners, our staff, and customers just like you, to become more familiar with your grill:

1. FOOD SAFETY

• Use different platters and utensils for the cooked meat than the ones you used to prepare or transport the raw meat out to the grill. This will prevent cross contamination of bacteria. Each marinade or sauce should have its own utensil.
• Keep hot foods hot (above 60°C / 140°F), and keep cold foods cold (below 3°C / 37°F). Cooked foods should not be left out in the heat for more than an hour. Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration for more than two hours.
• A marinade should never be saved to use at a later time. If you are going to use it to serve with your meat, be sure to bring it to a boil before serving.
• Defrost and marinade meats by refrigeration. Do not thaw meat at room temperature or on a counter top. Bacteria can grow and multiply rapidly in warm, moist foods. Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry.

2. COOKING PREPARATION

• Be prepared, or Mise en Place. This refers to preparing the cooking recipe, fuel, accessories, utensils, and all ingredients you require at grill side before you start cooking. Also, read the entire recipe, start to finish, before lighting the grill.
• A BBQ floor mat is very useful. Due to food handling accidents and cooking spatter, a BBQ floor mat would protect a deck, patio, or stone platform from the possibility of grease stains or accidental spills.

3. GRILLING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

• Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the foods you are cooking. It's a good idea to put cooked food onto a heated platter, keeping the food warm. Red meats, such as steak and roasts, benefit from resting for several minutes before serving. It allows the juices that were driven to the surface by heat to ease back to the center of the meat, adding more flavor.
• Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent burning and flare-ups.
• Use a set of long-handled tongs for turning meats, and a spatula for turning burgers and fish. Using a piercing utensil, such as a fork, will prick the meat and allow the juices to escape.
