Operating Instructions
Checking for Leaks
Burner Connections
Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections are
securely fastened to the burner and the tank.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the
connection between the burner pipe and orifice. Make
sure the burner pipe fits over the orifice.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
Failure to inspect this connection or
follow these instructions could cause
a fire or an explosion which can
cause death, serious bodily injury, or
damage to property.
Please refer to diagram for proper installation.
If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice,
please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Tank/Gas Line Connection
Make 2-3 oz.a of leak solution by mixing one part liquid
dishwashing soap with three parts water.
Make sure control knobs are off.
Turn LP gas tank ON at valve.
Spoon leak check solution at all “x” locations
If any bubbles appear turn LP gas tank OFF, reconnect
and re-test. If you continue to see bubbles after several
attempts, disconnect LP gas source and contact
1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
If no bubbles appear after one minute turn tank OFF,
wipe away solution and proceed.
Operating Main Burners
Lighting
1. Open lid. Attempting to light the burner with the lid
closed may cause an explosion!
2. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the
gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog
the burner / venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged
burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
3. All control knobs must be in the OFF position.
4. Turn on gas at LP-gas supply tank.
5. Push and turn control knob slowly about 1/4 turn
counter clockwise until a click is heard. The burner
should light. If the burner does not light, repeat up to
three times.
6. If ignition does not occur, turn control knob to “OFF”,
wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure.
7. To light other burners, repeat the same procedure for
the adjacent burner and continue in sequence until all
desired burners are lit.
8. If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match
secured with the lighting rod provided to light burners
manually. Access the burners through the cooking grid
and heat plates. Position the lit match near side of the
burner.
Important: Always use the lighting rod provided when
lighting burners with a match.
9. After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure
all burner ports are lit and flame height matches
illustration.
Caution
If burner flame goes out during
operation, immediately turn the gas
“OFF” and open lid to let the gas clear
for about 5 minutes before re-lighting.
Turning Off
1. Turn gas off at LP tank.
2. Turn all control knobs clockwise to the OFF position.
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill
for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts
and dissipate odors.
Direct Cooking
Cooking directly over hot burners. Ideal for searing in juices and food requiring less than 25
minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables and
fruit.
1. Open lid and ignite the desired amount of burners per lighting instructions in owner’s manual.
2. Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the
lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to desired temperature.
5. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
6. Turn grill OFF by first closing the valve on the propane tank. Burn off remaining gas in lines by
waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the OFF position. A “poof” sound is normal
as the last of the LP gas is burned.
Indirect Cooking
Not cooking directly over hot burners. Ideal for slow cooking and foods requiring more than 25
minutes such as most roasts, loins, chops, whole chickens, turkey, fish and baked goods.
1. Open lid and ignite the desired amount of burners per lighting instructions in owner’s manual.
2. Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the
un-lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to desired temperature.
5. With lid closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
6. Turn grill OFF by first closing the valve on the propane tank. Burn off remaining gas in lines by
waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the OFF position. A “poof” sound is normal
as the last of the LP gas is burned.

Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life
1. For food safety tips visit: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Barbecue_Food_Safety/
2. Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads or
cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.
3. Use the side burner of this appliance like a normal kitchen range for boiling, sautéing or frying.
4. To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.
5. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on
very high temperatures.
6. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or
place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
7. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
8. When direct cooking adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to
different internal temperatures in the same time frame.
9. When in-direct cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a roasting rack inside
a heavy gauge metal pan. Place pan over the un-lit burners.
10. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting grill remove
cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with
water, fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over the
loaded pan.
11. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow
the wood manufacturer’s instructions.
12. Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your
experiences, reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.
13. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
14. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of
cooking oil, empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and
protect surfaces with a quality cover that is properly fits your grill.
