GRILL COOKING
ROASTING COOKING
WARMING RACK
Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food
warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. When opening
the hood, be alert of dripping fat from the warming rack which
could then drip onto the barbecue causing a mess. Always
check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· If lighting attempts fail, or the burner goes out during
operation, turn control knob “Off” to dissipate any
accumulation of gas. Accidental ignition could occur.
Wait five minutes before repeating lighting procedure.
· When manually lighting side burner, use matchlight
holder to avoid burns.
· Do not lean your head or body over the Side Burner
when manually lighting.
MANUAL LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNER
1. Important: Make sure Side Burner Control Knob is
turned “Off” first. (See FIG. 15A)
2. Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counterclockwise
until it stops. (See FIG. 15B)
3. Push Side Burner control knob in and turn counter
clockwise to the High position. (See FIG. 15D &17A)
4. Hold Lit Match near Burner through hole in Side
Burner Pan from underneath. (FIG. 19)
5. If the burner fails to light, repeat Steps 3 & 4.
If the burner fails to light after three or four attempts
following Steps 3-4, turn the side burner control knob
to the “Off” position and close the LP gas cylinder
valve to dissipate any accumulated gas. Wait five
minutes; then repeat the lighting procedures. NOTE: If
the burners still fail to light, refer to Troubleshooting
Section.

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, death or grill
damage:
· Always make sure the Grease Cup is empty and
properly installed in the wire ring under the Bowl before
cooking to prevent a grease fire .
· Do not leave any utensils on a hot Cooking Grid or
cookware.
Cooking on the Grids: The burners heat up the Flame
Diffusers under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food
on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the
hot Flame Diffusers below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes
the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor.
CAUTION
· Do not preheat grids over 5 minutes. The porcelain coating
could be damaged.
· Use only long-handled heat resistant plastic or wooden
utensils to avoid scratching the porcelain coating.
To avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped
inside:
· Open the hood carefully when grill roasting.
OPERATING THE GAS GRILL
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Never use charcoal in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor
cooking appliance clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
· Remove grill covers and store at least 36 inches from
the LP gas grill while in use. Grill covers are made of
a flammable material. Allow the grill to completely
cool before putting the cover back on the grill.
· Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose
away from any heated surfaces.
· Do not operate a gas grill if you are aware of or
suspect a gas leak.
· Make sure there are no gas leaks or obstructions to the
flow of combustion and ventilation air before each use.
· Keep the ventilation openings of the LP cylinder
enclosure free and clear from debris.
· Always open the hood before lighting the LP gas grill
to prevent an explosion from accumulation of gas.

Closing the Hood forms an ‘oven’ and traps a large amount of
heat for roasting whole meats, chickens, etc. Therefore, it is
IMPORTANT that the burner is turned to the “Low “ position to
prevent burning of the food.
To contain juices and fat, place the food to bake or roast in a
metal baking tray. Monitor the cooking temperature and time
with a meat thermometer. Avoid lifting the hood frequently as
heat is lost each time.
