chicken parts, vegetables and fruit.

1.Open lid and ignite the desired amount of burners per lighting instructions in owner’s manual.

2.Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.

3.Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the lit burners.

4.Adjust controls to desired temperature.

5.With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.

6.Turn grill OFF by first closing the valve on the propane tank. Burn off remaining gas in lines by waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the OFF position. A “poof” sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.

Indirect Cooking

1.	Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part
	liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2.	Make sure control knobs are “OFF”. (Figure 3)
3. Turn LP gas tank “ON” at valve.
4.	Spoon leak check solution at all “X” locations

Not cooking directly over hot burners. Ideal for slow cooking and foods requiring more than 25 minutes such as most roasts, loins, chops, whole chickens, turkey, fish and baked goods.

1.	Open lid and ignite the desired amount of burners per lighting instructions in owner’s manual.
2.	Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the
	un-lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to desired temperature.
5. With lid closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.

b. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, turn LP gas tank “OFF” and disconnect LP gas tank and contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

c. If no bubbles appear after one minute turn tank “OFF”, wipe away solution and proceed.

Operating Main BurnersFirst Use

1.Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.

2.Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odors.

Lighting

1.Open lid. Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion!

2.Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the burners. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner / venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.

3.All control knobs must be in the “OFF” position. (Figure 3)4.Turn ON gas at LP gas tank.5.Push and turn control knob counterclockwise to “HIGH”.6.Press the electronic igniter button and hold for 5 seconds to light burner.

7.If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner control knob “OFF”, wait 5 minutes, and repeat lighting procedure.

8.If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod provided to light burners manually. Access the burners through the cooking grid and heat plates. Position the lit match near side of the burner. (Figure 5)

Important: Always use the lighting rod provided when lighting burners with a match.

9.After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height matches illustration. (Figure 6)

Caution: If burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF” and open lid to let the gas clear for about 5 minutes before re-lighting.

by waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the “OFF” position. A “poof” sound is

normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.

Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life

1.For food safety tips visit: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Barbecue_Food_Safety/

2.Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads or cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.

3.Use the side burner of this appliance like a normal kitchen range for boiling, sautéing or frying.

4.To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.

5.To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on very high temperatures.

6.Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).

7.To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn foods over just once during cooking.

8.When direct cooking adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to different internal temperatures in the same time frame.

9.When indirect cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack inside a heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the un-lit burners.

10.Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting grill remove cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over the loaded pan.

11.Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow the wood manufacturer’s instructions.

12.Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.

13.Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.

14.After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of cooking oil, empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and protect surfaces with a quality cover that properly fits your grill.

A gas grill is ideal for reheating leftover pizza. Set burners on low and place pizza slices directly on preheated cooking grid. Close lid and cook until cheese starts to bubble.

Operating Side BurnerNOTE: Side burner can be used while main burners are operating.Never use side burner as a grill.

Lighting

1.Open lid. Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion!

2.Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the burner. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner / venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
