Usage Features:
- Outdoor Use Only: This grill is strictly for outdoor use and must not be operated in buildings, garages, under overhangs, or any other enclosed areas to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
- Preheating: The grill should be preheated with main burners on high for 10-15 minutes before cooking. For first-time use, burn off any foreign matter and odors by running main burners on Max with the lid down for about 10 minutes.
- Lighting Procedure: Always read instructions before lighting. Open the lid during lighting. If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, turn off burner controls, wait 5 minutes, and repeat. For manual lighting, use the provided lighting wand and exercise caution, keeping hands, arms, and head away from burners.
- Control Knobs: Push in and turn the control knob to Max for lighting. Ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position when connecting or disconnecting the LP tank.
- LP Tank Connection: The LP tank knob must be closed (clockwise to a full stop). The regulator nipple should be centered in the valve outlet and hand-tightened firmly. Do not use tools.
- Safety Warnings: Includes warnings regarding Prop 65 chemicals, proper installation by qualified technicians, fuel concerns (no flammable liquids near the grill), explosion hazards, and the importance of not leaving a lit grill unattended. Children and pets should be kept away.
- Wind Conditions: Avoid using the grill in windy conditions. A windbreak may be required in consistently windy areas to prevent poor performance and overheating of the control panel.
- Accessories: Only manufacturer-recommended accessories, regulators, or components should be used to prevent injuries and voiding the warranty.
Maintenance Features:
- Leak Testing: Critical before each use and after any connections are made. Use a 50/50 soap-and-water solution in a spray bottle. Apply to all gas-carrying connections; bubbles indicate a leak. All control knobs must be in the OFF position during testing. Never use an open flame for leak detection.
- Burner Tube Inspection: Burner tubes must be inspected and cleaned before each use to prevent obstructions from spiders or insects, which can cause "flash-back" fires.
- Cleaning Grates: "Burn-off" cooking grates after each use (approx. 15 minutes on high with lid closed), then clean with a wire brush to remove food residue. Porcelain grates should be handled with care to avoid chipping.
- General Cleaning: Ensure the grill is cool and the gas supply is turned off at the LP-Gas Cylinder before cleaning. Use mild liquid dish soap, warm water, and a nylon cleaning pad or wire brush. Avoid cleaners with acid, mineral spirits, or abrasive substances.
- Inside Bottom Pan: Clean regularly to prevent flare-ups. Remove residue with a brush, scraper, or cleaning pad. Avoid splashing water into burner vent tubes.
- Heat Tents: Clean residue with a wire brush and wash with mild dish soap and warm water.
- Grease Cup: Empty and clean regularly with mild dish soap and warm water.
- Burner Assembly Cleaning: Disconnect gas supply, remove warming rack, cooking grates, heat tents, and then detach burners. Clean burner ports with a pin or paper clip. Ensure the burner end and primary air screen are clear of debris.
- Air Shutter Adjustment: If burners produce a yellow flame or flames lift away, air shutter adjustment may be needed (by a qualified gas installer).
- Ignition System Maintenance: Clean piezo ignition with a soft bristle brush or sandpaper if main burners do not light with the igniter but do with a match.
- Hose Inspection: Visually inspect the gas supply hose for cracks, cuts, or excessive wear before each use. Replace if necessary.
- Ventilation: Ensure the outdoor cooking gas appliance area is clear of combustible materials, and that combustion and ventilation air flow are not obstructed. Keep cylinder enclosure ventilation openings free of debris.
- Regular Maintenance: Half-year maintenance is recommended.
