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 For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.

Using The Grill/Lighting Instructions USING THE GRILL L.P. GAS: Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “Medium” heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning.This cooks the food through without burning the outside.
Lighting / Rangetop Burner Instructions Once the left or right burner is lit, the adjacent burner(s) can be lit by the cross-lighting method. For center burners to cross light, light the adjacent far left or right burner using the standard or match light procedure. Push and turn the control knob for the desired center burner to “Lite” the gas will be ignited by the adjacent burners flame. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knob off, wait 5 minutes and try again. FIG.14 FIG.
Using The Smoker System 36/ 48 MODELS ONLY: FIG. 17 36 / 48 Grill Smoker System The smoker system on each grill consists of a stainless steel slide out tray which is positioned above a 5,000 BTU burner.The burner is controlled by a precision brass valve which is capable of being turned down to very low heat levels.The system may be used alone for low temperature roasting and smoking or in conjunction with any combination of other burners.
Using The Rotisserie Burner BQRS AND BQARS SERIES ONLY: FIG. 20 36 / 48 Grill Rotisserie System The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The location of the burner allows the placement of the rotis basting pan (included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices.
Using The Rotisserie Burner Open the lid. Push and turn the control knob to the “Lite” position. Press the safety valve button, hold in, and begin turning the rotary igniter button located next to the rotis knob. It may be necessary to turn the igniter knob several times until the burner lights. You’ll hear a snapping sound. At the same time, a spark will be provided at the safety probe. Hold the safety valve button in for about 5 seconds or until the burner remains lit.
Care And Cleaning 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. Dip a fine brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles.
Burner Removal And Cleaning RANGETOP BURNERS: FIG. 22 The grill power burners (BQRS Models Only) are cast iron and occasionally it will be necessary to remove surface rust to ensure proper performance. Frequency of cleaning will depend on the climate & location, and how often you use the grill. If allowed to build up the rust may form layers which must be removed promptly. The walls of the burners are thick so they can withstand many years of use.
Troubleshooting Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good, a spark will jump across to the screwdriver. If no spark, replace the igniter. If there is a spark, examine the wire of the electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine the electrode for grease and debris or see if the electrode tip is bent. Is the tip sparking to the top of the electrode bracket? The rotary igniter may be replaced from the front by removing the drip pan and reaching behind the valve panel to unplug the igniter wire.
