· If you notice grease or other hot material dripping
from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn
off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has
cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After
cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly,
perform a leak test before continuing use. (See
Performing a Leak Test.)
· Do not operate a gas grill if you have knowledge of or
suspect a gas leak.
· Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt
tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in
use or hot.
· Do not lean your body over the gas grill when lighting
it or while it is in use or hot.
· Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves,
long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times
since the grill will become very hot. Open the hood
carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air
and steam trapped inside.
· Do not allow children to operate or play near a gas
grill. Keep animals and bystanders out of the grill area.
Do not leave grill unattended.
· Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
· When grill is not in use, turn off all grill control knobs,
LP cylinder valve and disconnect the LP cylinder.
END OF COOKING SESSION
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, fire or death:
· Allow grill and grease in the Grease Cup to completely
cool before emptying, handling parts, cleaning, moving
or storage.
· Empty the Grease Cup after each cooking session so
excessive grease does not accumulate.
· Never light the LP gas grill without the Grease Cup in
place.
1) After each cooking session, close the hood and turn the
grill burners to the “High” position and burn for five minutes.
This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making
cleaning easier.
2) When you have finished using your grill, turn the grill
Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.
3) Turn off the gas at the LP cylinder valve by turning the
handle clockwise until it stops.
4) Wait until the grill is cool before closing the hood, cleaning
or putting on the cover.
5) Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after
extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and
extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that
the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of
time, especially during the winter months.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE GRILL
To reduce the risk of a cut injury:
· Be careful or wear protective gloves when cleaning grill
parts that have sharp edges.
1) Bottom Panel, Grease Pan, Foil Pan-Loosen the two
screws on the sides holding the Drip Tray. Remove and
scrape away food and fat residue from the drip tray. Empty
and wash the Foil Pan and Grease Pan with hot soapy
water and a cloth. The Foil Pan can be replaced with a
standard size foil pan (approx.. 5-1/2” W x 8-1/2” L x
1-1/8” H) from your local grocer or retail store.
2) Grill Body and Cart-Remove excess grease and/or fat
with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel
wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch painted,
porcelain coated or stainless steel surfaces. It is not
necessary to remove all the grease from the body. Wipe it
down with paper towels or soft damp cloth.
3) Warming Rack-Clean if necessary.
4) Cooking Grid/Flame Diffusers. Clean the residue off
with hot soap and water, or baking soda. For stubborn
stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder. Do not use
steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the
stainless steel or porcelain coated surfaces. This can
cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.
5) All other Cleaning-For further cleaning, use hot soapy
water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not
immerse the gas controls or manifold in water. (Avoid
getting water in the Burner Holes.)
6) Burners-Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the
burners clean with normal usage, provided the Burners
are operating correctly. Clean the the Burners annually,
or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there
are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the
burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the
burners. (See How to Clean The Burners.)
7) After cleaning, replace all the cleaned parts. Re-tighten
Bottom Panel screws.
