Grill Cooking

1)Place the Ribbed Cooking Surface in the Grill to the left with grease drain over the grease cup. Place the Smooth Cooking surface to the right and hook it over the Ribbed Surface. (FIG. 22A)

2)If you wish to use pans or cookware, simply remove the Smoothe Cooking Surface and place the Stove Grate over the Round Burner. (FIG. 22B) Be sure and do this before you heat the rest of the grill.

3)Light the Burner, turn the Control Knob from “High” to “Low” while checking through the opening between the Grill Body and the Cooking Surface to see if it is lit.

4)Check Your Flame. Your burner has been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and LP gas mixture. (FIG. 22C)

Flame

The flame should be checked before the each cooking session and periodically throughout the grilling season, especially after storing the grill over a long period of time. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, then you are not getting the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air /LP gas mixture.

This could be a result of a blocked burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the burner or burner opening. You should follow the Burner Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning the burners.

5)To preheat: With the Grill Hood closed, preheat on high for about 8 minutes. During the first use, you may notice a slight odor caused by the curing oil on paint or parts. Do not pre-heat over 10 min or the cooking surface coatings may be destroyed.

6)After 8 minutes of preheating, carefully place food on the Cooking Surface. Cook until done, turning food at least once halfway through the cooking time for most foods. Adjust flame as needed with the Control Knobs.

7)When food is cooked, remove food with long-handled heat resistant, plastic or wooden utensils so as not to scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as these can damage the coating of the Cooking Surfaces. Caution: Do not leave any utensils on the

Cooking Surface while it is hot.

·Never leave your LP gas grill unattended during use or cleaning.

End of Cooking Session

·Always turn “OFF” the Control Knobs when not in use. Allow the grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.

·Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.

·Never touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times since grill will become very hot.

Turning Off Your LP Gas Grill

After each cooking:

1)Turn the Control Knobs clockwise to the “OFF” position.

2)Turn off the LP cylinder valve clockwise on a 20 lb. cylinder.

3)Wait until the grill is cool before cleaning the grill or closing the Hood.

3)After the grill is cool, disconnect the 1lb LP cylinder or the 20 lb. cylinder hose from the Regulator. Replace the protective cap and store LP cylinder in a safe place. (page 12)

4)Empty Grease cup, clean grill and store safely until next cooking session. (pages 12-13)

WARNING! Never store an LP gas cylinder indoors (empty or filled). If storing the gas grill indoors, disconnect LP gas cylinder and store it outdoors out of the reach of children.
