Before Your First Cookout

Light burners, check to make sure they are lit, then close the lid and warm up grill on (High) for 15 minutes. Curing of paint and parts will produce an odor only on first lighting. Do not

warm up grill with knobs on (Ignite). Knobs and handle may

become uncomfortably hot if knobs are left on (Ignite).

Burner Flame Check

Remove cooking grate and VapoRISER Bar. Light burner, rotate knobs from (High) to (Low). You should see a smaller flame in Low position than seen on High. Always check flame prior to each use. Perform flame check on sideburner. If only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.

Low

Turning Grill Off

Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP tank off by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.

Ignitor Check

Turn gas off at LP tank. Press ignitor button rapidly. "Click" should be heard and spark seen each time between collector box or burner and electrodes. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.

Valve Check

Important: Make sure gas is off at LP tank before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to Low position then turn back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.

Hose Check

Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

General Grill Cleaning

Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

￿ Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
