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. To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.
4. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on

very high temperatures.

5. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and place on upper

cooking levels (warming rack).

6. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn

foods over just once during cooking.

7. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow

the wood manufacturer’s instructions.

8. 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.

9. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of

cooking oil, empty grease pan (if included), wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen
cleaner and store in a cool dry place.

10. Visit websites like www.bluerhino.com, watch barbecue themed TV shows or purchase

related barbecue cookbooks to learn more interesting tips.

Using Charcoal

WARNING: This is not a charcoal grill. It is a LP gas grill designed to

add the flavor of charcoal or wood.

WARNING: Do NOT use instant light charcoal.
WARNING: Position the grill so wind cannot carry ashes to combustible

surfaces.

WARNING: Always wear protective gloves when adding charcoal or

wood.

WARNING: Allow coals/embers to extinguish and cool before

transporting, storing, or moving the grill. Do not cover the grill until

contents of the charcoal areas are completely and fully extinguished

and empty.

WARNING: Do not use burning

charcoal to relight gas burners.

Always light the burners using the

built in ignition or a match.

• Use charcoal or wood chips if desired. The grill will

operate like a normal LP gas grill if the charcoal
areas are empty.

• If using wood chips, either dry or soaked chips are

good.

• Use natural, standard, or lump charcoal if desired.
• Add charcoal or wood chips to the charcoal areas

prior to the grill preheat. The LP gas burner will ignite the charcoal. This guarantees full flavor
once cooking begins. Do not place charcoal anywhere other than the dedicated charcoal
areas. Do not overfill the charcoal area. Make sure the cooking grid can fit properly against
the bottom bowl.

• Do not operate the grill without the hybrid heat plate in place.
• After every use, empty ashes once completely cool and fully extinguised.

Operating Instructions

This grill is designed to operate with a one pound 7-3/8” high disposable / 16.4 oz. or 14.1 oz.
propane gas tank (DOT 39 Cylinder).
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL ANY ONE POUND (16.4 oz. or 14.1 oz.) PROPANE GAS TANKS!

Connecting Gas Tank

1. Make sure the regulator/control valve is in the “LOCK

OFF” position. (Figure 1a)

2. Lubricate the threads of the regulator valve with

petroleum jelly, insert the gas tank into the regulator
valve and hand-tighten firmly. (Figure 1b)

3. Test for leaks

Checking for Leaks

Burner Connection

1. Make sure the control valve is securely fastened to

the burner. (Figure 2)
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the
connection between the burner and control valve.

WARNING: 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.

2. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the control

valve, please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

Regulator / 1# LP Gas Tank Connection

1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part

liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.

2. Make sure control knob is “OFF”. (Figure 3)
3. Spoon several drops of solution, or use squirt bottle,

at the LP gas tank to regulator connection. (Figure 4)

4. Inspect the solution at the connection, looking for

bubbles.

If NO bubbles appear, the connections are
secure.
If bubbles appear, you have a leak.

a. Loosen and retighten this connection,

making sure the connection is secure.

b. Retest with solution.

If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, disconnect propane source

and contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

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.

Lighting

1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films

have been removed from the grill.

2. Open lid.

Attempting to light the burner with the

lid closed may cause an explosion!

3. 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.

manually. Access the burner through the hole in
bottom bowl as indicated. Turn the grill to “LOW”, and
position the lit match near side of the burner. (Figure
5 and 6)
