HELPFUL HINTS

3)It is important to evenly balance the meat on the spit rod. Proper balancing will lead to more even cooking and prolong the life of the rotisserie motor.

4)Pliers may be used to tighten thumb screws on meat forks when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.

5)Use twine to secure the meat on the spit rod, especially fowl or other cuts of meat that require tying.

ROTISSERIE BRACKET (MOTOR BRACKET SIDE)

When mounting the spit rod motor onto the motor bracket (right side burner box), the ears of the motor bracket must be fully inserted into the spit motor slots. Accomplish this by sliding the spit motor down to the stops of the spit motor bracket.

The spit rod should not be making surface contact with the slot in the spit motor bracket. See Assembly Guide for more information.

SIDE TABLES

Do not use side table(s) as a cutting board. Clean with soap and water.

MOVING PORTABLE GRILLS

When your grill is not in use and you wish to relocate it, we recommend you push the grill by the side shelf.

CAUTION: When moving grill, make sure you turn the appliance control knobs to “OFF” first, and then the gas supply at source.

STORING NATURAL GAS GRILLS

After you have finished cooking and have cleaned your grill, (see Maintenance section – for cleaning), turn your grill off at your appliance control knob. It is strongly recommended that the inline field installed cutoff valve also be turned off when the grill is not in use.

When the portable grill is to be stored indoors, the connection between the hose and the gas supply line must be broken. While the special fitting will stop the gas flow when the hose connection is removed, it is highly recommended you turn the gas supply off prior to disconnecting the hose assembly. To protect the gas fitting, it is necessary to insert the plastic plug (supplied with 10’ hose package) into the female quick connect. The male end of the hose must be protected by placing the plastic cap (supplied with 10' hose package) over the brass fitting on the end of the hose.

GAS VALVE ORIFICE

WARNING: Any alteration made to the orifice(s) such as drilling it out, will void your warranty and may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.
