Operating Your Outdoor Grill

Lighting the Burners

warning

Do not light the appliance if you smell gas. Call for service.

To avoid a fire or explosion hazard, light the burners only as instructed. Keep all body parts away from the burners during lighting and use.

EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not light the outdoor grill with the canopy closed.

Always inspect the gas line before use. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear or it is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified service technician before operating the outdoor grill again.

If using a LP tank, make sure the knobs are in the OFF position before opening the valve on the tank.

Never use the outdoor grill in windy conditions.

Do not turn the knob past the LIGHT position until lit. Doing so may result in a burst of flame that could cause burns or damage to the surrounding area.

Do not touch any part of a burner while the igniter is sparking. An electrical shock may result.

Never move the outdoor grill when cooking or when it is hot. Always keep the canopy closed when moving the grill cart.

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this outdoor grill. This can obstruct the proper flow of gas into the burner and cause improper operation, fire hazard and potential damage to the unit. Periodically inspect the burners. If any of these symptoms occur, immediately refer to service or the Before You Call for Service section of this manual.

If any burner flames are blown out by wind and do not automatically re-ignite within five seconds, turn the knob to off and wait five minutes for the gas to dissipate. Attempt a new ignition until you hear the constant clicking stop and you see flame ignition.

Do not leave the canopy open when the outdoor grill is not in use to prevent an accumulation of water/ moisture inside. If water accumulates in the grill compartment the unit should not be used and a service technician should be called to clean the inside of the compartment.

If the appliance is left out in the rain (with the canopy shut), wait until 30 minutes after the rain storm ends before using it.

BLOW BACK HAZARD IN COLD WEATHER - If lighting the rotisserie or optional sear burner in very cold weather, “blow back” may occur. After lighting, if you hear a whooshing sound, immediately turn the burner control knob off. Wait several minutes before trying to light the burner again.

Lighting and Preheating - Grill

Compartment

1.Make sure the drip tray is in place.

2.Open the canopy to the fully open position.

3.If using a LP tank, make sure all control knobs are in the OFF position, then turn the valve on the top of the tank coun- ter-clockwise to the fully open position.

4. Light one burner at a time. Push in on

OFF

the knob for the burner you want to

 

light and turn it counter-clockwise to

 

the LIGHT/HIGH position. See the

 

facing page for knob locations. The

 

burner igniter will spark repeatedly until

LIGHT/HIGH

it lights. The spark makes a “clicking”

sound. The burner should light within

 

five seconds. If the burner does not ignite in five seconds, turn the burner knob to the OFF position. Keep the canopy open. Wait five minutes. Repeat the lighting procedure. If a burner does not ignite after three tries, you may light it manually (see page 12). Also see the Before You Call for Service section on page 23.

5.Light all of the remaining burners (including the sear burner if equipped) in the grill compartment.

important

Lighting all of the burners and preheating the grill compartment helps keep the components clean and makes them hot enough to vaporize juices that drip through the grate. Without a proper preheat, a residue will build on the components decreasing burner performance and causing ignitor malfunction.

For outdoor grills equipped with the optional sear burner, see page 16 for sear burner use instructions.

Light the rotisserie burner only if you will be performing rotisserie cooking. See page 13 for more information.

6.After the burners are lit, close the canopy and preheat with all burners on HIGH until the temperature gauge indicates the desired grilling temperature for the food being cooked. Normal cooking temperature varies between 225 to 500ºF (110 to 260ºC).

7.Turn the burner knobs further counter-clockwise to lower the flame and maintain the desired tempera- ture. Preheat for five minutes more before cooking.

8.During cooking, check the food periodically using the temperature information on the Safe Cooking Tem- perature Chart on page 16. Check the internal meat temperature with a meat thermometer to determine doneness. The outdoor grill cooks more rapidly with the canopy shut, slower with it open.
