Cooking On the Gas Grill ! WARNING To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire, explosion or burn hazard: • Never use charcoal or lighter fluid in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. • Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
Grill Cooking (Direct Method) Direct Cooking on the Grids: Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The Burners heat up the Flame Diffusers under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flame Diffusers 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.
Warming Rack ! WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or flare-up from grease drippings: • When cooking food on the warming rack, make sure no Burners are on directly under the Drip Pan. • Clean grease drippings away from grill after each use. Warming Racks are a convenient way to cook food, keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. To keep foods warm, set the Burners on Low or turn off all that are not needed.
Care and Maintenance ! CAUTION To reduce the risk of a laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling parts that have sharp edges. Cleaning the Grill Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and especially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill and its components are cool before cleaning.
In order to prevent flashbacks, the Burner(s) should be removed from the grill and cleaned periodically, especially if the grill has been stored for an extended period of time. Fig. 9 Burner Control Knob Valve Nozzle Spider webs or nest inside Venturi Tube How to Clean the Burners 1. Make sure the Control Knobs are turned “Off” and the grill is completely cooled. 2.

Storage ! WARNING To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death: • Store your LP gas grill in a cool dry place. Do not store an LP Gas Cylinder in a space greater than 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Never store a connected LP Gas Cylinder in a building, garage, or any enclosed area. • Store LP Gas Cylinders outdoors out of reach of children. • Never store an LP Gas Cylinder indoors (empty or filled) unless it is disconnected from the gas grill and the cylinder’s Gas Supply is turned “OFF.
