• Read and follow all warnings and instructions obtained in the preceding sections of this manual.
• Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal smoking box to contain ash and prevent fires.
• DO NOT cover cooking grates or other components with aluminum foil, as this blocks ventilation and damage to grill or
personal injury may occur.
• DO NOT leave your grill unattended while "ON" or in use.
• DO NOT move grill when in use.
• DO NOT use water on a grease fire. Closing the lid to extinguish a grease fire is not possible.
Use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
• Never cook on the grill without the grease cup/tray in place.
BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:
• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the burners and cooking surfaces of
your grill.
• Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "HIGH" to burn off these residual oils.
PREHEATING THE GRILL:
• Prior to each use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are at the desired temperatures
to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the main burner control knobs to the "HIGH" position for 5 to 10
minutes. Close the lid during the preheat period.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS/GREASE FIRES:
• Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Use caution when
opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for
you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto
the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm.
• If grease fire occurs while lid is open, leave lid open, turn burner knobs to "OFF", turn off LP cylinder valve. If possible, relocate food
to a different section of cooking grate and allow grease to burn out or smother the flames with baking soda.
• If grease fire occurs while lid is closed, leave lid closes, as a sudden burst of air may increase flames. Turn burner knobs to "OFF",
turn off LP cylinder valve. Allow grease to burn out.
• Never pour water on a grease fire as grease may splatter/spread and could result in bodily injury or property damage.
• If grease fire does not quickly burn out or the fire is growing/spreading, use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with
dirt, sand or baking sode. Closing the lid to extinguish a grease fire is not possible.
TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
• Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
• Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through
the drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup/tray.
• Clean grill frequently to minimize grease build up.
TURNING OFF GRILL:
1. Turn off the cylinder valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the "OFF" position.
Note: Turn off LP cylinder first to prevent gas from being left in the system under pressure.
CAUTION:
• The cylinder valve should always be in the off, or closed, position when
the grill is not in use.
OPERATING THE GRILL:
WARNING
To turn off the cylinder valve,
turn knob clockwise until it stops.
