MAIN BURNER MANUAL LIGHTING

DANGER

Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flame-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

1)Open the lid.

2)Make sure all burner control knobs are turned off. (Push each knob in and turn clockwise to ensure they are in the “OFF” position.)

WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the “OFF” position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder valve. If they are not in the “OFF” position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the “excess gas flow control” feature will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP cylinder. If this should occur, turn off the LP tank valve and burner control knobs. Then start over.

DANGER

When the “excess gas flow control” feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning off the cylinder and burner control knobs, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flame-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

3)Turn the cylinder on by turning the cylinder valve counterclockwise.

4)Put match in the match holder and strike match.

WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue.

5)Insert match holder and lit match down through cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars to ignite the selected burner.

6)Push the control knob in and turn to ”START/HI”.

WARNING: If the burner does not light, turn the burner control knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again.

USING THE SMOKER

The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using fi ner wood chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker, we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks to fi nd the smoke fl avor that best suits your taste.

To Use the Smoker

As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body (1). As you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste.

Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food. Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for Lighting The Smoker Burner After wood starts to smolder turn control knob to “LOW”.

Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you require more smoke fl avor, refi ll the smoker with wood chips and /or chunks. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking.

Note: After refi lling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again. The smoker may be used to enhance meat, poultry and fi sh recipes. Cook with the lid down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.

DANGER

Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite the wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.

Cleaning the smoker

Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air fl ow.

Note: Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill.
