Fully Assembled Caution: Use only the regulator provided! If a replacement is necessary, please call our customer service department, 912638-4724. Do NOT use replacement parts that are not intended for this grill. Hint: The paper label that is affixed to the hood is more easily removed when the hood is warm. Any remaining glue residue can be cleaned off with a spray lubricant like WD-40 . Do NOT use any other type of solvent or cleaner because this will damage the finish/paint/coating on the grill.
Connecting Gas Cylinder: The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for propane 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. Only cylinders with a listed overfill prevention device (OPD) and marked “propane” may be used.
Stand in front of the grill to operate the controls. Note: Before starting the grill, check for leaks. Make sure the regulator valve is securely fastened to the burner and the cylinder. To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak: 1. Always perform the “leak test” as described below before lighting the grill or each time the cylinder is connected for use. 2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test. 3.
Lighting Your Grill Danger: Failure to open hood while igniting the grill or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the grill does not light, may result in an explosive flare-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death. Before cooking on this grill for the first time, operate the grill for about 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas turned on “high”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odor from the manufacturing processes and painted finish. Main Burners: 1.
Side Burner 1. Open lid during lighting. Lid must be open when burner is on. 2. Burner valves must be in the “off” position. 3. Open cylinder valve. 4. Push in side burner valve knob fully and rotate slowly about ¼ turn counterclockwise until a click is heard. If the burner does not light, immediately turn the valve knob to OFF. Wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure. After burner ignites, adjust valve knob to desired cooking setting. Shutting Off Burners: 1.
Lighting Burner With a Match: 1. Place a match in the end of the match holder that is installed on the side of Grill Housing. Once lit, immediately place the flame through the cooking grates as shown near the burner ports. 2. Press in knob and rotate counter-clockwise to the High setting and burner should light immediately. 3. Adjust burners to desired cooking settings Cooking Grate Match Holder OM5050E.2 Chain ™ & © Char-Griller / A&J Mfg.
Cleaning and Care Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the gas supply turned off at the propane cylinder. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish. Cleaning Burning-off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly • Remove grease collector. • Remove cooking grates and heat shield. • Remove burner by unscrewing nut from beneath burner “foot” using a screwdriver and pliers. • Lift burner up and away from gas valve orifice. • Clean inlet (venturi) of burner with small bottle brush or compressed air. • Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of burner surface. • Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip) • Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes).
Gas Grill Trouble Shooting Problem Possible Cause Burner will not light Wires/or electrode covered with cooking resiusing knobs due. Electrode and burners are wet. Prevention/Cure Clean wire and/or electrode, with rubbing alcohol Wipe dry with cloth Electrode cracked or broken -sparks at crack Wire loose or disconnected Replace electrode No gas flow. Check if propane tank is empty. If propane tank is not empty. Refer to "Sudden drop in gas flow or reduced flame height". If empty, replace or refill.
Gas Grill Troubleshooting, continued Possible Cause New burner may have residual Manufacturing oils. Prevention/Cure Insect nests in venturi. Clean venturi. Food residue, grease or seasoning salt on burner. Clean burner. Poor alignment of valve to burner venturi. Assure burner venturi is properly engaged with valve. High or gusting winds Turn front of grill to face wind or increase flame height.
GRILL PREPARATION & CHARCOAL GRILL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE NOTE: NO RETURNS ON USED GRILLS Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before assembling and operating your grill. 1. Note: The interior of the grills are not painted, they are coated with vegetable oil. DO NOT remove this coating. Gas and Charcoal Grill: Cure grills prior to cooking to protect the interior and exterior finishes and prevent adding unnatural flavors to your food.
GRILLING RECIPES DIRECT METHOD STEAK (& ALL MEATS): Cook food directly above coals/heat. Generally speaking, to grill meats, raise fire grate to high position (hot) and sear for one minute on each side with the lid open to seal in flavor and juices. Then lower fire grate to medium position with lid closed and cook to desire doneness. Control heat with dual dampers and adjustable fire grate.
KABOBS: Alternating on skewers any combination of meat, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, circular slice of corn-on-the-cob, or pineapple. Meat could consist of chunks of shrimp, scallops, lobster, chicken, sausage, pork, beef, etc. Marinate the meat in refrigerator for several hours. Grill each side approximately 7 minutes turning occasionally while basting with marinade. Leave a small amount of room between pieces in order to cook faster.
SMOKIN’ RECIPES: using the Charcoal Grill side of the Duo with a WATER PAN (also called INDIRECT METHOD). Pan not included. Disposable bread pan is recommended. SMOKE BY COOKING SLOWLY (See chart on page 27 for smoking times). 1) Place water/drip pan on left side of fire grate. 2) Place hot coals on right side (damper end) of fire grate. The charcoal basket accessory helps confine coals to one side. 3) Place meat above water pan. 4) Place fire grate in low position.
SMOKED HOT DOGS STUFFED: Slit hot dogs lengthwise, within 1/4 inch of each end. Stuff hot dogs with cheese and relish and wrap in bacon. Place on cooking grid over drip pan and smoke 15-20 minutes or until bacon is crisp. SMOKED CHICKEN PARTS AND HALVES: Rinse pieces in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Brush each piece with vegetable oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Brown pieces directly above coals with lid open and grate in high or medium position for several minutes.
CHICKEN MARINADE: Combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon sweet basil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder with parsley, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour over chicken pieces in nonmetal dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Use marinade to baste chicken while cooking.
