BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider 
before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
• All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed 
from the burners. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & Assembly” 
for further details.)
• You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas 
Requirements” for further details.) 
• You have electric connected. (See INDEX: “Electric 
Requirements” for further details.)
• A qualified plumber has performed a leak test on all the 
fittings that supply fuel to your grill.
• IF YOUR GRILL DOES NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SECONDS 
you may need to purge the line. (See INDEX: “Purging 
the Gas Line” 
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove 
the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifices 
and valves for obstructions. 
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill 
and can disrupt air flow, causing damage to the grill and 
personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and fittings for damage, abrasion, 
wear and tear.
USING YOUR GRILL
Grilling requires high heat for searing and low, controlled 
heat for slow cooking. 
Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a “HI” heat setting 
with the lid open. 
On the other hand, large, thick pieces of meat or poultry 
are often first seared at the high setting and then grilled at 
a lower setting ... sometimes with the lid closed … achiev-
ing the best results in the middle of the food without 
burning the outside. 
Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using 
indirect heat. 
Your grill features a variety of professional-level burners and 
tools for meeting the wide variety of cooking challenges. 
We will reveal how these features work for you. So please 
read and enjoy!
Depending on the model you chose, your grill may be 
equipped  with  up  to  three  different  bur ner  types.  The 
operation of each type varies, so it is important to 
understand all three.
