READ THIS CARE AND USE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR OTHER INJURY. KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. When properly cared for, your ALFRESCO™ VERSAPOWER™ Cooking System will give safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must be used since the unit produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential.
(Safety, cont.) • When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are depressing the igniter button for the burner you intend on using. • When using the unit: do not touch the unit’s burner grated or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only the knobs provided for operation of the unit. • For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean.
LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE UNIT: When determining a suitable location for your VERSAPOWER™ Cooking System, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas supply line runs as short as possible. Locate the unit only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system.
Remove grease tray ! Igniter Module Battery - 9 Volt Point contacts towards module (Bottom view) Igniter Cap Figure # 1 GAS CONNECTION—LIQUID PROPANE (LP) NEVER CONNECT THE VERSAPOWER™ COOKING SYSTEM TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding, ensure the unit is fitted for LP gas. Connecting to an improper gas type will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury.
L.P. TANK REQUIREMENTS: Use only a standard 20 Lb. (5 Gal.) propane gas cylinder (18-1/4” H x 12-1/4” Ø). The tank must be installed in the upright position. Do not use a dented or rusty LP tank as it may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. 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).
CAUTION CYLINDERS MUST BE STORED OUTDOORS IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. DISCONNECTED LP CYLINDERS MUST HAVE THREADED VALVE PLUGS TIGHTLY INSTALLED, AND MUST NOT BE STORED IN A BUILDING, GARAGE OR ANY OTHER ENCLOSED AREA. THE GAS MUST BE TURNED OFF AT THE SUPPLY CYLINDER WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE. IF THE APPLIANCE IS STORED INDOORS, THE CYLINDER MUST BE DISCONNECTED AND REMOVED FROM THE APPLIANCE.

(testing cont.) • • • • • • • Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas supply back on, and recheck. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your dealer where you purchased your unit. Do not use the unit until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
PUSH TO IGNITE PUSH & TURN TO “HI” Keep your face away from the grill as far as possible and pass a lit, long stem match through the notch in the unit’s grate to the ports of the burner you are trying to light. When attempting to light a burner with a match, ensure that the correct burner control knob is used. CAUTION IN SUNNY ENVIRONMENTS, THE FLAME FROM A BURNER MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. Position the match near the burner ports. Push and turn the control knob to “HI”.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT: A sheet metal cup at the inlet of the perimeter burner called the “AIR SHUTTER” regulates the amount of air that enters into the burner for combustion. The air shutter is locked in place by a set-screw, which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment. The air shutter adjustment screws are accessible with a flat screwdriver through the bottom of the unit. Loosen the set-screw of the air shutter.
2. Turn the control knob to “LOW” and wait for the burner temperature to drop and stabilize. 3. Attempting adjustment at any setting other than LOW can create a dangerous condition. 4. Remove knob by pulling straight away from control panel. 5. Insert a small blade screwdriver into the valve stem to begin the adjustment. 6. Turn counter-clockwise to INCREASE the low heat flame using pliers to hold the stem securely.
RUST-BROWN MARKS: When this type of staining occurs it is unlikely that rusting of the stainless steel itself causes the marks. Similar marks can be found with both porcelain and plastic sinks. The rust marks are more likely to be the result of small particles of “ordinary-steel” which have become attached to the surface; these have subsequently rusted in the damp environment.
BURNER CLEANING: Clean the exterior of the burner with a brass wire brush. Clear any stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a thin wire. 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 stiff wire to clean out the burner throat.
(Troubleshooting, cont.) 1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow. 2. The unit does not reach temperature. 3. The burners make popping noises. UNIT WON’T LIGHT: First determine if the spark igniters are functioning properly. You should hear a rapid snapping sound when the igniter button is depressed. If no sound is heard, try replacing the igniter batteries according to the instructions on page 7.
