First Time Use
Read your Assembly
Manual
and ensure the grill is put
together
properly.
Remove all Point-of-Purchase
advertising
material
from all grill surfaces before first use. We
recommend
operating
your grill on its highest setting for 15-
20 minutes prior to your first use. This aids in removing
the
oils used during
manufacturing.
Lava Rock / Briquettes
This gas grill has been designed,
engineered,
and tested to
be used with flame tamers
or heat distribution
plates to
provide
more even heating,
improve
the cleaning
process,
and reduce flare-ups.
The addition
of after market
lava
rocks, charcoal,
or briquettes
of any type will cause poor
combustion
and increase the likelihood
of a grease fire, and
is not recommended.
Using briquettes,
lava rock, or
charcoal
in this grill will void your warranty.
For extra
smoke flavor, we recommend
using a smoker box with wood
chips.
Temperature
The temperature
gauge in the hood of your new grill
measures air temperature.
The air temperature
inside your
grill will never be as hot as the temperature
at the cooking
surface.
Note:
Since 1995, all regulators
(the part that attaches
to
the gas tank to regulate
the flow of gas) have included
a
safety feature
that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas
leak. You can inadvertently
activate
this safety
feature
without
having
a gas leak. This typically
occurs when you
turn on the gas using the grill control
knob before you turn
on the LP tank valve.
If the gas regulator
safety feature
activates,
the grill will only reach temperatures
between
250°F and 300°F
even with all burners on the high setting.

If your grill is not getting hotter than 250°F to 300°F
these
steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety
device:
1. Open the grill lid.
2. Turn off all knobs an the control
panel in front.
3. Turn off the tank knob.
4. Disconnect
the regulator
from the LP tank.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect
the regulator
to the LP tank.
7. Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way. Do not put
excessive force on the valve at the full open position
to
avoid
damaging
the valve.
8. Turn on the appropriate
control
knob and light the grill
per the instructions
on the control
panel.

Pre-Heating
Your Grill
Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated
to
provide
optimum
performance.
Pre-heat the grill on high for
10-15 minutes - longer
if weather
conditions
require.
Please
refer to the lighting
instructions
inside the Product
Guide if
you have questions
about how to light your grill.
A match-
light chain and hole is provided
for your convenience.
