GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL:
Each main burner is rated at 12,000 Btu/hr. The
main grill burners encompass the entire cooking
area and are side ported to minimize blockage from
falling grease and debris. Above the burners are
stainless steel radiants (flame covers). The igniter
knobs are located on the lower center portion of the
valve panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the
control panel.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat
setting for the entire cooking time. However, when
grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be
necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after
the initial browning. This cooks the food through
without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a
long time or foods basted with a sugary marinade
may need a lower heat setting near the end of the
cooking time.
To begin:
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is
properly located.
2. Remove any
remaining
packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions in
this manujuice
s. The longer the preheat, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED
WHILE COOKING.
WARNING:MPORTANT!
BEFORE LIGHTING…
Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas
“ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion,
it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill
if the odor of gas is present. Only the pressure
regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit
should be used. Never substitute regulators for
those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is
necessary, contact the factory for proper
replacement.
Screw the regulator (type QCC1) onto the tank.
Leak check the hose and regulator connections with
a soap and water solution before operating the grill
(see assembly instruction page 9).
TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER:
Make sure all knobs are “OFF” then turn on the gas
supply from the LP tank. Always keep your face and
body as far from the grill as possible when lighting.
Your grill has an exclusive patented built-in ignition.
The igniter is built in to the valve. To ignite each
burner simply push and turn the control knobs to
the HI setting, you will hear the valve click as it
sends a spark to the pilot flame. If the burner does
not light wait 5 minutes for any excess gas to
dissipate and then retry.
Flame Characteristics
Check for proper burner flame characteristics. Each
burner is adjusted prior to shipment; however,
variations in the local gas supply may take minor
adjustments necessary.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no
yellow tips, excessive noise, or lifting. If any of
these conditions exist call our customer service line.
If the flame is yellow, it indicates insufficient air. If
the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the
burner, it indicates too much air.
TO MATCH LIGHT THE GRILL:
If the burner will not light after several attempts then
the burner can be match lit.
If you’ve just attempted to light the burner with the
igniter, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to
dissipate. Keep your face and hands as far away
from the grill as possible. Insert a lit extended
match or lighter through the cooking grids to the
burner. Press the control knob and rotate left to the
HI setting, continue to press the knob until the
burner ignites. Burner should light immediately. If
the burner does not light in 4 seconds turn the knob
off, wait 5 minutes and try again.
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas
supply valve and check the connections before
each use.
