FIRST USE – PRIMING THE GRILL
When firing your grill for the first time, it is advisable to run the main burner(s) on "HIGH" for 20 minutes with the hood
down and then turn the main burners off. This tempers the grill.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the hood is completely open each time you attempt to light the grill. Failure to open the hood
could lead to delayed ignition resulting in bodily harm. Use the flame observation hole in the side panel.
PREHEATING
It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After lighting, close the hood
and preheat the grill on "HIGH" for 15 minutes. This preheating will ensure that the cooking grid and grate are hot
enough for proper grilling.
COOKING TIPS
1. Brush the grill grates with cooking or vegetable oil prior to using the appliance.
2. Use a brush with a long handle. Juices from the food drip onto the heater during cooking and vaporize. The steam
arising from this process contributes to the taste of the food.
3. Adjust the control knob(s) between "High" to "Low" position in order to achieve your desired cooking results.
4. Keep the lid closed at a low flame in order to achieve a more consistent result and to cook larger pieces of meat or
whole chickens.
5. Avoid opening the lid too often as accumulated heat escapes each time, increasing the grilling duration as a result.
ELECTRONIC LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
To Light the Main Burners and the Side Burner
1. Make sure the control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
2. Open the grill hood.
3. Check the ignition pin position and distance between the pin and the
burner.
4. Make sure the drip tray is installed.
5. Open the LP tank or natural gas valve.
6. Light each burner separately. Turning on two burner valves together could
trip the flow limiting device in the tank connection (LP grills only).
7. Push the control knob in and turn the knob to the left to "HIGH" position.
8. Push and turn burner control knob to "HIGH" and immediately press and hold electronic igniter.
9. If the burner still does not ignite, TURN OFF THE GAS. WAIT 5 MINUTES for excess gas to dissipate.
10. If the burner still can't be lit, refer to the troubleshooting section.
