GAS CONNECTIONS WARNING NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the grill was set up for.
GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends using a mobile flex gas line. Always keep the line away from the firebox. This is available at your local hardware store or from your dealer. LP GAS Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/ regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder. (Type 1). All fittings necessary to attach the assembly to the grill are included.
GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this connection. GAS CONVERSION KITS Gas conversion kits are available from Lynx Grills to allow the grill to operate on either Natural gas or LPG. These kits should be installed by a qualified technician or certified plumber. To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off.
GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued NG AND BULK PROPANE* CART INSTALLATION • Shut off the gas supply at the main valve. • Disconnect all plumbing (if already attached) from the grill and the gas supply valve. • Remove all the fittings from the grill manifold if necessary. • Connect the gas supply to the grill as shown in the diagram on this page for your gas type. Inline Regulator • Turn the gas supply on and leak test all connections. (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING • Product installation must meet local electric codes or, in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CGA 1.6b2005. • Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance. • IMPORTANT: When connecting your rotisserie motor, first connect the motor to the grill and then plug the grill into the outlet.
FINAL CHECKS LEAK TESTING LOW HEAT BURNER ADJUSTMENT FOR TRINDENT ™ BURNERS ONLY! DANGER! To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test using fire or flame. DO NOT ADJUST THE ROTISSERIE BURNER. The Trident ™ burners on your Lynx grill feature an adjustable low setting.
FINAL CHECKS ...continued • The appearance of the Trident ™ burner should be visually checked. The ceramic tiles should be uniformly red to orange in appearance. There should be no lifting, fluttering or lazy blue flames. Some food particles will show as yellow flames but should burn off. DANGER! BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AROUND HOT BURNERS AND OTHER GRILL PARTS. IMPORTANT: Make sure the owner knows where the main gas supply shut off valve is located.
CHECKLIST BEFORE EACH USE (FOR YOUR SAFETY) • Do you smell gas? If yes, shut off everything and call the gas company or a qualified plumber to check for leaks, if not please continue. • If you are using a portable propane cylinder, is it connected and leak tested? If not, check the connection before continuing. If yes, please continue. • Are you prepared to stay with the grill during the entire cooking process? If not, gather what you need before starting the lighting process. If yes, please continue.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL. 1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING. 2. Ensure all zip ties have been removed from the burners. 3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Conditions” for further details.) 4. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite. 5.
GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS IMP OR TAN T! Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen ranges. That’s how they sear and grill steaks and other foods. These high-performance burners require a constant, steady supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your Lynx grill pulls air in through the front and vents hot gases out through the rear. Using your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the frontto-back air flow.
USING YOUR LYNX GRILL Grilling requires high heat for searing and low, controlled heat for slow cooking. Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using indirect heat. Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a “HI” heat setting with the lid open. Your Lynx grill features a variety of professional-level burners and tools for meeting the wide variety of cooking challenges. We will reveal how these features work for you.
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST ...continued BEFORE EACH USE Before any use, always make sure that: • ... you do not smell gas before you light the grill. If you do smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualified plumber check for leaks. • … the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles, besides your food, that might ignite. • … the control knobs turn freely. • … if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it is securely connected and leak tested. (See INDEX: “LP Cylinder Requirements” for details.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL ...continued COLD WEATHER WARNING: PROPANE Extremely cold temperatures may cause your Trident ™ burners to light inside the burners instead of outside. Once lit, if you hear a ‘whooshing’ sound, immediately turn the burner knobs off to extinguish the flame and then immediately re-light the burners. 26 MANUAL LIGHTING Trident ™ Burner If a burner doesn’t light after several attempts, it can be match lit using the lighting rod stored in the drip tray.
BASIC GRILLING PRE-HEATING Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre-heat your grill by igniting all main burners, including the Trident burner, and setting them to “HI”. Then close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 5 to 10 minutes, the hood thermometer should reach approximately 450°. Once you’ve reached your desired pre-heat temperature, turn off the burners that you won’t be using to cook your food. Remember, surface temperature can be up to 200° higher.
USING THE TRIDENT ™ BURNER Never place food over a Trident ™ burner before it is fully pre-heated because food particles and grease dripping onto a cold Trident ™ burner can clog the tiny ports and damage the burner. For the same reason you should minimize water spills on the Trident ™ burner and should not use water to control flare-ups. Take special care to minimize dropping any liquids on the Trident ™ burner while cleaning the cooking grids.
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER Rotisserie cooking provides an even delivery of heat to your foods. It has no equal. The constant rotation not only cooks foods evenly, it also self bastes. As juices rise to the surface of the food, they naturally flow around it as it rotates. And, by moving the burner out from beneath the food, you avoid scorching flare-ups. Your foods will be more evenly cooked, more tender and juicier when slow-roasted on a Lynx’s rotisserie.
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER ...continued Slide the pointed end of the skewer into the motor and rest the other end on the rollers on the other side of the grill. serie lighting procedure. (See INDEX: “Rotisserie Burner, Lighting” for further details.) The notched portion of the skewer must rest on the rollers for proper operation. Once lit, the rotisserie burner should reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. It will glow evenly across its surface in about 5 minutes.
CLEANING YOUR LYNX GRILL (Including Required Maintenance) STAINLESS STEEL Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship. In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of the grill it is important to take the following steps: • After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and splatters.
CLEANING YOUR LYNX GRILL (Including Required Maintenance)...continued WARNING DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS GREASE OR LIQUIDS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE DRIP TRAY AS THIS MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT DRIP TRAY PROPERLY INSTALLED. WARNING PROPER PLACEMENT OF EACH BURNER IS CRITICAL. AFTER CLEANING THEY MUST BE CENTERED ON THE BRASS ORIFICE, RESTING LEVEL WITHOUT ANY ROCKING. FAILURE TO MEET THESE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
CLEANING YOUR LYNX GRILL (Including Required Maintenance)...continued WARNING: REQUIRED MAINTENANCE 1. Failure to perform required maintenance will void your warranty. 2. Scrape the bottom of the firebox with a plastic putty knife or similar tool and discard the residue. 3. Clean out the burner orifices and ensure they are free of debris. 4. Clean the drip tray.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS GRILL WON’T LIGHT SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by turning on the lights, then: IF YOU SMELL GAS WHILE THE GRILL IS OPERATING, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND SHUT OFF THE MAIN FUEL SUPPLY. Check The Igniters Your Lynx grill uses an electric ignition system that does not spark. Instead, the igniters should glow constantly when a control knob is pushed in.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued • Check the Regulator Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one designed for and supplied with your Lynx grill and that it is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using. (See INDEX: “Regulator Conversion” for further details.) The hose and regulator provided by Lynx must be used if your grill is set-up for a portable LP Gas Cylinder. Ensure the LP hose is not behind the firebox.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued BURNER GOES OUT • Location First determine if the problem is being caused by location. If the grill is subject to high winds, reposition it to provide some protection. • Check the Gas Supply • Burners Seated Check to ensure that the burners are correctly positioned in the grill. (See INDEX: “Burner Placement” for further details.) Correctly-installed burners should be seated firmly and level with no side-to-side movement.
