COOKING MODE: LP GAS WITH WOOD

CHUNKS FOR FLAVOR

How to light your LP Gas grill when planning to cook using primarily LP Gas and supplementing with wood chunks for flavor.

1 . Soak desired quantity of wood chunks in water for a minimum of 30 minutes. Wood chunks should be placed along either the left or right side of the grill on top of the outermost louver. No more than four wood chunks should be used on each side(Charcoal briquettes can be substituted for wood chunks).

2.Open Hood.

3.MAKE SURE THE FLAVOR ACTIVATOR KNOB IS PUSHED OUT FOR GAS MODE.

4.Important: The LP gas cylinder valve must be opened first before turning the control knobs on the grill. Turn the handle on the LP cylinder valve counter-clockwise until it stops.

5.From the “Off” position, push control knob in on the left

burner and turn counter-clockwise until you feel

resistance.	Pause 4 seconds, then continue turning the
control knob	until a click is heard and the burner is lit.

WARNING: If any or all burners fail to light after following Steps 3 & 4, turn all knobs to the “off”

position and close the valve on the LP gas cylinder. Wait five minutes; then repeat all of the above lighting procedures.

6.Light the remaining burners from left to right by turning the control knob counter-clockwise. Your grill has a crossover ignition system that allows the burners to light successively off one another. Confirm each burner is lit before lighting another burner.

7.After ignition, burners should be burned at the high posi- tion for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat the grill. This pro- cess should be done every cooking session. When cook- ing with LP gas only, the hood should be closed during preheating. When using wood chunks, the hood should be OPEN during preburn .

WARNING: If a burner goes out during the cooking cycle, turn all knobs to the off position and close the valve on the LP cylinder. Open hood and wait five minutes before attempting to relight the grill.

COOKING MODE: CHARCOAL ONLY

How to light your grill when planning to cook using only charcoal:

1.Open Hood.

2.MAKE SURE THE FLAVOR ACTIVATOR ADJUSTING KNOB IS PUSHED IN FOR CHARCOAL MODE.

3.Remove cooking grids and place the desired amount of Charcoal evenly on top of the Louvers. Do not stack the charcoal briquettes.

Warning: For Bonza 3 use no more than 95 Charcoal bri- quettes(5 1/2Lbs). For Bonza 4 use no more than 112 char-

briquettes (6 3/4. Lbs).

standard size high quality hardwood charcoal (2 7/8 X 2 7/8 1/4) should be used. Charcoal briquettes made from maple, birch or elm woods will burn clean with very little smoke and

without unpleasant odors.

Use an appropriate amount of charcoal for the desired cook- ing effect. Less charcoal for slower cooking and more charcoal for hotter cooking. Do not exceed the maximum amount of charcoal recommended above. The excess

heat could damage your grill.

4.From the “Off” position, push control knob in on the left burner and turn counter-clockwise until you feel resistance. Pause 4 seconds, then continue turning the control knob until a

is heard and the burner is lit.

WARNING: If any or all burners fail to light after following Steps 3 & 4, turn all knobs to the “off”

position and close the valve on the LP gas cylinder. Wait five minutes; then repeat all of the above lighting procedures.

5.Light the remaining burners from left to right by turning the control knob counter-clockwise. Your grill has a crossover ignition system that allows the burners to light successively off one another. Confirm each burner is lit before lighting another burner.

6.If any of the burners do not light, repeat Step 3. The burner should light within three or four attempts. If burner still does not light, try the next burners from left to right.

7.After ignition, pre burn the charcoal by turning the controls to “High” position for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes turn off the burners. The hood should remain open during preburn to allow excess heat and smoke to escape. Leaving the hood closed during the preburn can damage your grill.

WARNING: NEVER USE LIGHTER FLUIDS WITH THIS GRILL.
