Usage Features

  • Outdoor Use Only: This appliance is strictly for outdoor use and must not be installed inside a home, recreational vehicle, boat, building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
  • Gas Supply Management: The gas supply must be turned off at the LP gas supply cylinder when the grill is not in use.
  • Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly: The supplied pressure regulator and hose assembly must be used. Replacements must be manufacturer-specified.
  • Rotisserie System: Includes a rotisserie motor, fork, and skewer for rotisserie cooking. The motor is mounted on the right side of the grill frame.
  • Burner Adjustment: Burners are factory-adjusted, but local gas supply variations may require further adjustment. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise, or lifting. Air shutters can be adjusted to achieve proper flame.
  • Easy Access for Maintenance: The drip tray and landing ledge assembly can be removed to access air shutters for burner adjustment.
  • Ignition System and Canopy Lights: Powered by a 110/120 volt supply outlet located on the bottom left-hand side beneath the solid bottom support.

Maintenance Features

  • Leak Testing: A complete gas tightness check must be performed at installation and periodically thereafter. A soapy water solution is used to detect leaks; an open flame must never be used. If a leak is detected and cannot be stopped by tightening connections, the faulty part must be replaced by a manufacturer-recommended part or an authorized service technician/LP/Propane gas dealer.
  • Burner Cleaning and Adjustment: Regular inspection of air shutters and burner ports for dirt, debris, or spider webs is recommended to ensure proper flame. Adjustments are made by loosening a lock-screw on the air shutter and turning it to allow more or less air to the burner.
  • Cleaning Stainless Steel Parts: Stainless steel parts should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues, dust, and debris. Liquid cleaners designed for stainless steel can be used. Abrasive cloths, steel wool, cleansers, or powders should be avoided. For encrusted materials, soaking with hot, wet cloths and using a wool or nylon scraper is recommended. Metal knives or spatulas should not be used to avoid scratching.
  • LP Cylinder Care: Place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet when the cylinder is not in use. Only use the type of dust cap provided with the cylinder valve to prevent propane leakage.
  • Professional Servicing: Only authorized replacement parts may be used for service, and all servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
  • Performance Checklist: A checklist is provided for installers to ensure all internal packaging is removed, clearances are maintained, gas connections are correct and leak-free, and burners light satisfactorily.
