Lighting Your Grill
WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. Your hose can be accessed through the cabinet doors. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced with a manufacturer recommended part prior to the appliance being put into operation.
Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose as- sembly. It will be necessary to open the doors to fully inspect the hose.
DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.
WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the OFF position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder tank valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the “excess gas flow control” feature will activate, limiting the gas flow of gas from the LP cylin- der. If this should occur, turn off the LP cylinder valve and burner control knobs. Then start over.
DANGER: When the “excess gas flow control” feature is ac- tivated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the cylinder valve, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive

Preheating Grill
It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After lighting, close the lid and preheat the grill on “high” for 10 minutes. This
preheating will ensure that the cooking grid is hot enough for proper grilling.
mWARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires can be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and bodily harm.
Open or Close Lid for Grilling
Cooking with the lid open or closed is a matter of personal preference. Cooking with the lid closed is recommended if you enjoy cooking at maximum “searing” tempera- tures. This method will also speed the cooking process, and will give you a more ro- bust, smoky, outdoor flavor. If you prefer cooking slower, with less flare up, we suggest the
We recommend always cooking with your lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or colder climate. Your Ducane® gas grill has been designed and constructed to give you maximum flexibility and cooking performance. Be creative, try different cooking methods on your grill to determine what suits your needs best…there is no “right” or
“wrong” way to cook…just different individual styles.
mWARNING: Please remember that this is an outdoor gas cooking appliance. Many areas of the grill generate extreme heat. We have taken every precaution to protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all
