SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition. “Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tanks pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are pushing the igniter labeled for the burner you intend on using. When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan.

GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the inside back wall of the Grill. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Bottom of unit Coupling 1/2 NPT Close NIpple An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location.
GAS REQUIREMENTS TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL: Assemble as shown (Fig.01). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply.
GAS REQUIREMENTS change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance.

LEAK TESTING GENERAL: Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected. BEFORE TESTING: Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never test a leak with an open flame.
INSTALLER CHECKLIST/BURNER ADJUSTMENTS INSTALLER FINAL CHECKLIST: ❏ Specified clearances main tained to combustibles. ❏ Nylon straps removed from burners. ❏ All internal packaging removed. ❏ Knobs turn freely, bezels centered. ❏ Each burner lights satisfatorily, individually or with adjacent burner lit. ❏ Air shutters adjusted. ❏ Unit tested and free of leaks. ❏ Adjustable low setting satisfactory. ❏ User informed of gas supply shut-off valve location. ❏ Drip pan in place properly and sliding freely.
BURNER ADJUSTMENTS LOW SETTING ADJUSTMENTS: The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting. Due to fluctuations in gas pressure, heating value or gas conversion, you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in the low position. TO ADJUST: 1. Light the burner. 2. Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (all the way counter-clockwise). 3. Remove the knob. 4.
USING THE GRILL GRILL: Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a series of stainless steel heat baffles, stainless steel radiant, and a stainless steel heat retaining cooking rack. Each burner is rated at 16,500 Btu/hr. Below each burner is a stainless steel heat baffle which reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces temperatures of the drip pan below. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants which protect the grill burner ports from blockage.
USING THE GRILL 4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “HI”and “LO”. Most grilling is between “MED” and “HI”. 5. Allow grill to cool and clean the drip tray after each use. NOTE: If using LP gas, your preheat time may be shorter than recommended. To prevent overcooking or burning you may want to lower heat settings.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER: NOTE: Open the grill lid. Turn all knobs to “OFF”. Turn the main gas supply on. If you smell gas, shut off gas supply and call for service. Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to “HI”. If burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again for any accumulated gas to dissipate. MATCH LIGHTING: If the burner will not light after several attempts then the burner can be match lit.
CARE AND CLEANING BATTERY REPLACEMENT: 1. Remove grease tray. 2. Pull battery downwards. (This may require use of pliers - Fig 13.) 3. Re-install upward and push to snap - Fig 15. (Polarity as shown in Fig. 14). NOTE: Battery condition should be checked at least once a year. FIG. 13 FIG. 15 FIG. 14 GRILL RACKS: The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam.
BURNER REMOVAL AND CLEANING GRILL AND ORIFICE CLEANING: Remove the grill racks, then lift out the grill radiant tray. Grasp the burner, pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front, angle the burner sideways, and remove. Burner Cleaning Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip.
