SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS WARNING! When in use, portions of this grill get hot enough to cause severe burns. Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand, or play on or around the grill at any time. When properly cared for, your Precision Series" grill will give you years of safe and reliable enjoyment. However, extreme care must be taken since the grill produces intense heat, increasing the risk of accident.
SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS BE SURE all control knobs are in the OFF position and grill is cool prior to using any aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal part to corrode. ALWAYS use dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. DO NOT let potholders touch hot portions of the grill rack or burner.
SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the unit. NEVER fill the tank beyond ¾ full. A fire causing death or serious injury may occur. Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. A NOTE ON CLOTHING: For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
NATURAL GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas to be used, either LP (propane), or Natural gas, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located under the drip tray of the grill. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location.
LP GAS REQUIREMENTS $ 1 ' &$ 5 7 0 2 ' ( / 6 WILL ACCOMODATE A 20# VERTICAL OR 30# HORIZONTAL TANK 20# 30#
LEAK TESTING GENERAL: Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected. BEFORE TESTING: Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
LOCATING GRILL/ BUILT IN CLEARANCES LOCATION: When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill only in a well- ventilated area. Never locate the grill inside a building garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosure area without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke.
BUILT IN CLEARANCES
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Use an approved extension cord, rated for 120 VAC, 15 Amps, to connect power to the transformer box. Make sure there are no cuts in the insulation to prevent electric shock. A certified GFIC receptacle must be installed and used for safety. The receptacle must be properly grounded.
FLAME HEIGHT GRILL BURNER FLAME HEIGHT: To access the grill burner air shutters, first remove the grill racks and radiant trays, Lift the burner out as described in the section BURNER CLEANING. With a screw driver, loosen the set-screw on the air shutter. Light the burner and adjust according to the directions below. Access for the side burner air shutters is through the top after removing the top burner grate and aeration pan assembly (see Fig 7).
BURNER ADJUSTMENTS BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT: To Adjust Tube Burner Flames: 1. Be careful as the burner may be very hot! 2. If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, adjust the air shutter counter clockwise to allow more air to the burner. 3. If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise 4. Once adjusted, turn the burner off, lock the air shutter in position and reverse steps to reassemble.
BURNER ADJUSTMENTS (continued) To Adjust: (Tools Required: Pliers, Flat Head Screwdriver) 1. 2. 3. 4. Light the burner. Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (all the way counter clockwise). Remove the knob. While holding the valve shaft with the pliers, insert a thin flat-Head screwdriver into the shaft and while viewing the burner adjust to a minimum stable flame. (Fig 10) WARNING: IMPORTANT! Before lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “ON”.
USING THE GRILL/FEATURES USING THE GRILL: Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel “W” shaped burner or a Sear-Perfect Zone infrared grill burner, stainless heat baffles a series of hybrid stainless steel and ceramic radiants. Each “W” shaped burner is rated at 25,000 BTU/Hr. Above the burners are hybrid stainless/ceramic radiants which provide even heat, reduce flare-ups and protect the burner ports from blockage due to spills.
USING THE GRILL/FEATURES HIT THE LIGHTS! Each model in the Precision Series" line features night-lights. There are located on the rotisserie panel and point downward to illuminate the entire grilling surface. Each light is rated at 20 W and is operated by a switch located on the front panel. Say goodbye to clunky night-lights and cumbersome extension cords. Now you can grill all night till the break of dawn and beyond.
HELPFUL HINTS A FEW WORDS ON MEAT: The doneness of the meat, whether rare, medium or well done, is affected to a large degree by the thickness of the cut. Expert chefs say that it is impossible to have a rare doneness with a thin cut of meat. The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat, the size and shape of the cut, the temperature of the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of doneness desired.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Lighting The Grill Burner: Note: Open the grill lid before lighting. Turn all knobs to “OFF”. Turn the main gas supply on. If you smell gas, shutoff gas-supply and call for service. Turn the selected burner knob to “HIGH.” A glow will be visible from the burner igniter during ignition and will remain ON while the burner is in use. This is normal and will re-light the burner if the flame goes out and there is gas available.
USING THE ROTISSERIE Lighting the Rotisserie Burner: NOTE: The safety valve on all Precision Series" rotisserie sections is included in the main burner valve. No separate safety button is necessary to operate the rotisserie safety feature. NEVER USE ROTISSERIE BURNER WHEN GRILLING SURFACE IS USED. The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions than the protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the rotisserie during windy conditions.
USING THE ROTISSERIE (continued): NOTE: The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The location of the burner allow the placement of the rotisserie basting pan (included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are especially good with the addition of pineapple slices and brown sugar to basting pan.
USING THE ROTISSERIE (continued:) WARNING! Never have the grill burners (bottom burners) ON during rotisserie cooking. It will burn your meat and make it extremely dry. Use either grill or rotisserie at a time.
USING THE ROTISSERIE (continued): WARNING: Keep hands and face away from front of burner! STAND TO THE SIDE WHEN LIGHTING. ONCE LIT MOVE HAND AWAY QUICKLY! WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions: This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded GFIC receptacle using an appropriate extension cord. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the extension cord.
