GRILLING GUIDE – Getting Started

First Time Use

Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put together properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising material from all grill surfaces before first use. We recommend operating your grill on its highest setting for 15-20 minutes prior to your first use. This aids in removing the oils used during manufacturing.

Lava Rock / Briquettes

This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to be used with flame tamers or heat distribution plates to provide more even heating, improve the cleaning process, and reduce flare-ups. The addition of after market lava rocks, charcoal, or briquettes of any type will cause poor combustion and increase the likelihood of a grease fire, and is not recommended. Using briquettes, lava rock, or charcoal in this grill will void your warranty. For extra smoke flavor, we recommend using a smoker box with wood chips.

Temperature

The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill measures air temperature. The air temperature inside your grill will never be as hot as the temperature at the cooking surface.

Note: Since 1995, all regulators (the part that attaches to the gas tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a safety feature that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas using the grill control knob before you turn on the LP tank valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates, the grill will only reach temperatures between 250°F and 300°F even with all burners on the high setting.

Coupling Nut

If your grill is not getting hotter than 250°F to 300°F these

steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety

device:

1.Open the grill lid.

2.Turn off all knobs on the control panel in front.

3.Turn off the tank knob.

4.Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.

5.Wait 30 seconds.

6.Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank.

7.Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way. Do not put excessive force on the valve at the full open position to avoid damaging the valve.

8.Turn on the appropriate control knob and light the grill per the instructions on the control panel.

An illustration of this process is included in this Product Guide. See Troubleshooting section for additional information.

Pre-Heating Your Grill

Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated to provide optimum performance. Pre-heat the grill on high for 10- 15 minutes – longer if weather conditions require. Please refer to the lighting instructions inside the Product Guide if you have questions about how to light your grill. A match-light chain and hole is provided for your convenience.
