1 I SAFETY Dear Customer: PLEASE read this manual carefully and follow the recommendations enclosed. This will help assure you of the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new PORTA-GRILL. Keep this manual for future reference. FOR YOUR SAFETY If you smell gas: 1. Shut off gas to the appliance. 2. Extinguish any open flames. 3. Open lid. 4. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier.
2 II GETTING STARTED PICKING A LOCATION: Your PORTA-GRILL is manufactured for use outdoors only! Any grill, charcoal or gas, produces carbon monoxide while in operation and this gas should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined area. Never operate the grill inside your home, garage, recreational vehicle or any enclosed area. The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z233.1, National Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.
3 III SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY -Don'tsDON’T move your grill while it is in operation or still hot. DON'T use an open flame when testing for gas leaks. DON'T use charcoal briquettes, wood chips or any flammable material on top or in place of lava rock. DON'T store any flammable materials beneath the firebox or in the vicinity of your grill. DON'T use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
4 IV PROPANE TANK STORAGE, HANDLING AND FILLING Propane gas should be handled and stored with care. We suggest asking your propane gas dealer, when having your tank filled, for a short course in handling, care, and storage of propane gas tanks.Most dealers will be glad to instruct you on how to store and handle your tank. WHERE TO STORE The best place to store a liquid propane tank is in a shady or protected spot outdoors, behind your home or garage, but where it is out of the reach of children.
5 V CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING YOUR TANK CONNECTING TANK Mount the L.P. tank to the support bracket with (4) 3/8”-16 x 3/4” hex head bolts. The Belson fuel tank will only draw vapor fumes while lying in the horizontal position as shown on the drawing. Never attempt to use the Belson LP fuel tank in the vertical position or outside of its support hoops. Connect regulator to tank. Be sure arrow on regulator is in direction of gas flow.
6 VI LEAK CHECK BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR GRILL: Turn your L.P. gas supply on and test all fittings for leaks, before attempting to light grill, be certain all control valves are in the 'OFF' position. Slowly turn the gas supply on (leaving control valves in the 'OFF' position) and check all connections with a solution of 50% liquid soap, 50% water. Solution can be sprayed on with a spray bottle or painted on all connections with a brush. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
7 VII LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Before each use of your grill, inspect the gas hose prior to turning the gas 'ON' If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Contact Customer Service 1-800-323-5664 for replacement parts. Do not use the unit if the odor of gas is present. Keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting. STEP 1: Open the hood. Do not stand with your head over the grill when lighting burners.
8 VIII IGNITOR AND BURNER ADJUSTMENTS IGNITOR/ELECTRODE ADJUSTMENT The electrode inside the fire box is fixed and checked at the factory for optimum spark. The tip is 1/8” from the inside surface of the burner tube. In the event that the ceramic insulator should crack and need replacement, it is easily removed by loosening the mounting screw. If burner will not light, slide the lava rock at the control panel end to one side and visually inspect the spark produced when the red ignitor button is depressed.
9 FLAME 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. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, 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. To adjust gas to air mixture, find screw at end of air mixer where it meets valve.
10 IX CARE AND MAINTENANCE Caution: Avoid steam burns by not using 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.
11 SPIDERS AND INSECTS: The burner venturi area is narrow, dark and protected making the burners extremely attractive to spiders. A nesting spider is capable of spinning a web overnight that could block gas and air flow. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur: 1.
