LIGHTING & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING PROCEDURES
Lighting Main Burner(s):
1. Become familiar with the safety guidelines at the front of the manual. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LIGHTING GRILL OR CHECKING GAS
SUPPLY CONNECTIONS!
2. If your grill fuel source is a LP gas cylinder, check to see that cylinder is filled.
3. Check that the end of each burner tube is properly located over each valve orifice.
4. Make sure all gas connections are securely tightened. TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A SOAP SOLUTION, NEVER WITH A FLAME. (Gas Leak
Check instructions are on page 2).
5. Always open lid before lighting.
6. Set ALL BBQ Grill control knobs to “OFF” and open gas supply, LP cylinder or Natural Gas Valve.
7. Ignite only the burners you intend to use, using the same method for each: Push in control knob completely and rotate slowly (3 to 4 seconds)
about 1/4 turn to the left (counter clockwise) until a click is heard. The 3 to 4 second duration should provide enough gas to light the burner. If the
burner does not light, immediately return the control knob to ‘OFF’, wait several minutes for the gas to disperse, and repeat the process. After
burner ignites, repeat procedure with any other burner needed.
8. Adjust control knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
NOTE: If igniters fail to produce a spark at the electrode tip, burners can be manually lit with a fireplace-type match.
NOTE: To light gas grill with a fireplace-type match
, follow steps 1 through 6 above. Remove cooking grid and flame tamer from burner you
wish to light. Insert lighted fireplace-type match or long-necked butane lighter placing flame near to burner ports. Press in control knob and rotate
left to “HIGH” setting to release gas. Burner should light immediately. If more than one burner is needed, repeat procedure with each burner.
Replace flame tamer and cooking grid. Turn off burners not needed, and adjust other burners to desired cooking temperature.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Burn-off: Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, burn the grill to get rid it of any odors or foreign matter by igniting the burners, closing
the lid, and operating at “HIGH” setting for about five minutes. You may then either set the controls to “OFF” or cook on your grill immediately by
turning the control knobs to a lower setting.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE IN USE.
Preheating: It is necessary to preheat the grill for a short time before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking
temperature. Food that requires a high cooking temperature needs preheat for five minutes; food that requires a lower cooking temperature needs
only a period of two to three minutes. There is no need to preheat for casseroles or other foods that require slow cooking.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
HIGH setting - Use this setting only for fast warm-up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue from the cooking grids after the
cookout is over.
MEDIUM setting - Use this setting for most grilling, roasting or baking, and for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.
LOW setting - Use this setting for all smoke cooking, rotisserie cooking, and when cooking very lean cuts such as fish.
Note: These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind.
