Function Description

The Captiva Designs E02GR021 is an outdoor cooking gas appliance designed for household use only. It is not intended for commercial use or for installation in buildings, garages, or any enclosed areas. The appliance operates on propane gas and is designed for cooking outdoors. It features multiple burners and a cooking griddle, allowing for various outdoor cooking tasks. The grill is designed to be used with either a 1 lb (453 g) LP cylinder or a 20 lb (9 kg) LP cylinder (with an adapter hose).

  • LP Cylinder Requirements: Must be marked in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT CFR49) or National Standards of Canada (CAN/CSA-B359) specifications. Must use LP tanks with an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD). For 20-pound cylinders, specific dimensions are recommended: height 18.11 inches, tank diameter 9.84 inches, foot diameter 8.03 inches.

Usage Features

  • Outdoor Use Only: This grill is strictly for outdoor use and must not be operated indoors, in garages, or under overhangs.
  • Gas Supply: The appliance is designed to connect to either a 1 lb (453 g) LP cylinder directly or a 20 lb (9 kg) LP cylinder using the Captiva Designs Adapter Hose. The LP cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and kept in an upright position during use, transit, or storage.
  • Ignition: The grill features a lighting procedure that involves opening the lid, turning the control knob to "Max," and waiting for ignition. If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, the burner control(s) should be turned off, and the user should wait 5 minutes before attempting again. Manual lighting instructions are also provided, emphasizing caution and keeping body parts away from the burners.
  • Preheating: Before cooking for the first time or before each use, it is recommended to burn off any foreign matter and preheat the grill by running the main burners on "Max" with the lid down for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Safety Warnings: Numerous warnings are provided throughout the manual, including precautions against gas leaks, fire hazards, explosion risks, and carbon monoxide buildup. Users are advised not to store flammable liquids near the appliance, not to leave a lit grill unattended, and to keep children and pets away.
  • Wind Conditions: The grill should not be used in windy conditions. If in a consistently windy area, a windbreak is required to prevent poor performance or overheating of the control panel.
  • Regulator Connection: Instructions detail how to correctly connect the regulator to the gas line and the LP cylinder, emphasizing hand-tightening and avoiding cross-threading to prevent leaks. The regulator is designed to be used at an angle towards the rear of the appliance.

Maintenance Features

  • Burner Tube Inspection and Cleaning: Burner tubes must be inspected and cleaned before each use to prevent obstructions from spiders or insects, which can lead to "flash-back" fires. Instructions are provided for removing, cleaning (using a pin or paper clip for clogs), and re-installing the burner assembly.
  • Gas Leak Testing: A leak test must be performed prior to lighting the grill and before each use. This involves preparing a 50/50 soap and water solution, applying it to all gas connections, and checking for bubbles, which indicate a leak. If leaks are detected, the gas supply must be shut off immediately, and the defective part repaired or replaced.
  • General Cleaning: The grill should be cleaned when cool and with the gas supply turned off. Recommended cleaning supplies include mild liquid dish soap, warm water, and a nylon cleaning pad. Abrasive substances, acids, or mineral spirits should not be used.
  • Grease Cup: The grease cup should be emptied and cleaned regularly with mild dish soap and warm water.
  • Flame Check: For optimal performance, the flame should be a blue-yellow color and 1-2 inches high. Users can view the flame through holes in the firebox to check its appearance.
  • Hose Inspection: The gas supply hose should be visually inspected before each use for cracks, cuts, or excessive wear. If damaged, it must be replaced.
  • Cylinder Enclosure: The ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure must be kept free and clear from debris.
  • Half-Year Maintenance: General maintenance is recommended once every six months.
  • Warranty: The product comes with a one-year warranty for original owners for single-family/residential use, covering defects in material and workmanship. It explicitly states that improper installation, maintenance, high cooking temperatures, excessive humidity, chlorine, fertilizers, lawn pesticides, chemicals, and salt can cause discoloration, surface rust, or rust, and these are not covered unless there is a loss of structural integrity. Installation, repair, and maintenance must be performed by an authorized service technician to maintain warranty validity.
