COOKING ON YOUR GRILL END OF COOKING SESSION

To reduce the risk of burns, overheating or a serious hazard:

·Do not close the the Hood or vent while preheating.

·Do not preheat more than the 8 minutes on the “High” position.

·Use barbecue mitts when handling the Cooking Grid when it is hot.

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

·Use long handle heat resistant or wooden utensils for removing food from Cooking Grid.

·Always make sure the Grease Cup is empty and is properly installed under the Bowl before each cooking.

·Do not leave any utensils on a hot Cooking Grid.

·Do not set hot grid on surfaces that will melt or scorch.

1)Make sure the Cooking Grid is clean. (See Cleaning the Grill.)

2)Open the top Hood vent, then open the Hood all the way.

3)Place the Cooking Grid in the bowl and light the grill.

4)Turn the control knob to “High” for 3-8 minutes and preheat the grill. Preheat the grill before every cooking session.) During the first use, there may be a slight odor from the curing oil on paint or parts.

5) After preheating, carefully place food on the Cooking Grid. Cook until done, turning food at least once halfway through the cooking time for most foods. Adjust flame as needed with the Control Knob.

For SLOWER cooking, shift the Cooking Grid toward the rear and into the upper Grid Bracket slots. For FASTER cooking, shift the Cooking Grid toward the front and into the lower Grid Bracket slots. Use the lower position for searing steaks and hamburgers or when more heat is needed. Foods cook very fast at this position, so watch your food carefully.

Raise the grid to the upper slot to finish cooking steaks and hamburgers. Start cooking with the grid in the upper position for meats, such as pork and chicken, that have to be cooked a long time. The top grid height is good for any time your fire is very hot.

6)When you have finished cooking,, turn the control knob “OFF”. Remove food from Cooking Grid with long-handled heat resistant or wooden utensils, or you can remove the Cooking Grid with your food still on the Cooking Grid.

(Be sure to use barbecues mitts while handling the Cooking Grid.) Place the Cooking Grid on a table or countertop. The foot rests will not allow your food to touch the table top or counter surface. Do not set the hot grid on surfaces that will melt or scorch.

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:

·Always turn “OFF” the Regulator Knob and remove the LP Cylinder when not in use. Damage or severe impact may loosen the assembly and cause gas to leak outside the burner area.

·To avoid burns, allow the grill and the grease in the Grease cup to cool before emptying, handling parts or cleaning.

·To reduce the risk of a fire, empty the Grease cup after each cooking session so excessive grease does not accumulate.

·Never light the LP gas grill without Grease Cup in place.

1)When you have finished using your grill, turn the grill Control Knob clockwise to the “Off” position. Make sure there are no open flames nearby.

2)Disconnect the LP cylinder from the Regulator Control.

3)Wait until the grill is cool before closing the hood, the top Hood Vent cleaning or putting on a cover.

4)Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage periods.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE GRILL

To reduce the risk of a cut injury:

·Be careful or wear protective gloves when cleaning grill parts that could have sharp edges.

·Do not clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.

·Never use oven cleaner, steel wool or other abrasive cleaning product on the painted surfaces. These will cause damage to the finish or parts.

Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage.

1)Grease Cup-Remove Grease Cup and wash with a mixture of hot water and dish detergent.

2)Cooking Grid-Remove and clean the Cooking Grid with a wire brush, paper towel or sponge. After completely cooled, the Cooking Grid can be washed with warm, soapy water or scrubbing pad.

3)Hood-It is not necessary to remove all the grease from inside the hood. Wipe the outside hood and body with paper towels or soft damp cloth. For further cleaning, use warm soapy water and a cloth. Do not use steel wool, oven cleaner or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the painted surfaces.

4)Bowl-Remove excess grease and/or fat from the Bowl with a soft plastic or wooden scraper or nylon-bristled brush only. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the gas control. Avoid getting water in the Burner Holes.)

5)Burners-(See next page)
