Question:

Where do I use my grill for safer

operation and better performance?

Answer:

Strong winds and low temperatures can affect

the heating and performance of your gas grill

so factor in these elements when positioning

your grill outdoors for cooking.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall or surface.

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from

combustible objects that can melt or catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fence and

overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot

lights on water heaters and live electrical appliances.

Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch,

shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air

around your gas grill housing.

Question:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

regulator

and

hose

supplied

with

my

gas grill does not fit the older LP Gas Tank

I've used for years. Why not?

 

 

 

 

Answer:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

 

U.S.

Government

 

regulates

gas

appliances

and

 

LP

gas

tanks.

When

regulations

 

are

 

 

changed

 

the

 

LP gas

tank

fittings

 

are

altered

to

insure

 

compliance.

If

your

 

LP gas

tank does

not

fit the

regulator

and

hose

assembly

supplied

 

with

your

new grill, then the tank is outdated

 

and

 

must

be

replaced.

 

Note:

Effective

April

1,

2002 all LP gas tanks sold must include an

 

"OPD"

 

Overfill

Prevention

Device.

 

The

OPD

 

tanks

are

identified

 

by

their

triangular-shaped

 

 

valve

wheel.

 

This

internal

device

 

prevents

 

the

LP

gas

tank

from

being

overfilled.

 

Tanks

without

an

OPD

valve

can

no

longer

be

refilled.

 

 

 

Question:

Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated

cooking grates in the dishwasher?

No. You should not clean any grill parts in your dishwasher. We recommend you clean all parts

of your grill, including the cooking grates, by hand.

in a self-cleaning oven.

Question:

What can I do to keep my cast iron grates from rusting?

Answer:

Cast iron grates do require special care. We

recommend you first season new grates. Wash

new grates with dishwashing liquid, rinse, and

dry completely with a soft cloth. Never wash

them in a dishwasher. We recommend you use a

solid vegetable shortening over the grates to season them the first time. Spread a thin coating with a paper towel over the entire surface,

corners, and edges. Preheat your grill to 500

degrees. Turn half your burners to "LOW" and

half "OFF", and place grates in the firebox for

about an hour. Shut off all burners and allow the

grates to cool. We recommend you coat the

grates with a liquid vegetable oil before each use.

We do not suggest spray type oils unless they

are specified for high temperature cooking.
