WARMING RACK
Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. When opening the hood, be alert of dripping fat from the warming rack which could then drip onto the barbecue causing a mess. Always check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use.
ROASTING COOKING
To avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside:
· Open the hood carefully when grill roasting.
Closing the Hood forms an ‘oven’ and traps a large amount of heat for roasting whole meats, chickens, etc. Therefore, it is IMPORTANT that the burner is turned to the “Low “ position to prevent burning of the food.
To contain juices and fat, place the food to bake or roast in a metal baking tray. Monitor the cooking temperature and time with a meat thermometer. Avoid lifting the hood frequently as heat is lost each time.
OPERATING THE GAS GRILL
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
·Never use charcoal in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
·Remove grill covers and store at least 36 inches from the LP gas grill while in use. Grill covers are made of a flammable material. Allow the grill to completely cool before putting the cover back on the grill.
·Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
·Do not operate a gas grill if you are aware of or suspect a gas leak.
·Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstructions to the flow of combustion and ventilation air before each use.
·Keep the ventilation openings of the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
·Always open the hood before lighting the LP gas grill to prevent an explosion from accumulation of gas.
·Do not use the grill without the Drip Cup in place. Empty excess grease to avoid a fire under the grill.
·If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly, perform a leak test before continuing use. (See Performing a Leak Test.)
·Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids. Have an BC fire extinguisher accessible. Do not douse or spray the grill or cooking surfaces with water when hot. Burns from grease or the water splatters could occur.
·If your gas grill catches on fire:
-If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the control knobs on the control panel, then turn them to the off position.
-If the fire is in one of the hoses, and you can safely reach the LP cylinder valve, then shut the valve off.
-If the fire involves the cylinder, leave it alone, evacuate the area and call the fire department.
-If there is any type of fire that threatens either personal safety or endangers property, call the fire department.
·Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in use or hot.
·Do not lean your body over the gas grill when lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
·Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves,
·Do not allow children to operate or play near a gas grill. Keep animals and bystanders out of the grill area. Do not leave grill unattended.
·Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
·When grill is not in use, turn off all grill control knobs, LP cylinder valve and disconnect the LP cylinder.
END OF COOKING SESSION
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, fire or death:
·Allow grill and grease in the Drip Cup to completely cool before emptying, handling parts, cleaning, moving or storage.
·Empty the Drip Cup after each cooking session so excessive grease does not accumulate.
·Never light the LP gas grill without the Drip Cup in place.
1)After each cooking session, close the hood and turn the grill burners to the “High” position and burn for five minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. (Side Burner not affected)
2)When you have finished using your grill, turn the grill Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.
2)Turn off the gas at the LP cylinder valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops.
3)Wait until the grill is cool before closing the hood, cleaning or putting on the cover.
4)Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
