We reserve the right to make minor technical adjustments to the device.
• The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the operator’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the grill. • Always open grill lid slowly and carefully as heat and steam trapped within the grill can burn you severely. • Always place grill on a hard, level surface far away from combustibles. An asphalt or blacktop surface may not be acceptable for this purpose. • Do not leave a lit grill unattended. Keep children and pets away from grill at all times.
• When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it rests against the lid support brackets. Use extreme caution as hood could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury. • Close lid and all dampers to help suffocate flame. • Always hold an open lid from the handle to prevent it from closing unexpectedly. • Never leave coals and ashes unattended. Before grill can be left unattended, coals and ashes must be removed. Use caution to protect yourself and property.

Fully Assembled Caution: Use only the regulator provided! If a replacement is necessary, please call our customer service department, 912- 638-4724. Do NOT use replacement parts that are not intended for this grill. Hint: The paper label that is affixed to the hood is more easily removed when the hood is warm. Any remaining glue residue can be cleaned off with a spray lubricant like WD-40 . Do NOT use any other type of solvent or cleaner because this will damage the finish/paint/coating on the grill.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Setting Up Set grill up on solid, flat surface with adequate wind shelter. Keep grill at least 0.5m from nearest wall. Protect LP cylinder from direct sunlight and keep away from heat sources (max. 122° F ). Do not move grill while hot, and do not leave unattended during operation. Position gas cylinder next to device such that hose is not bent, twisted, subject to tension, or touching any hot parts of appliance. DO NOT place gas cylinder directly under burners.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Grill This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas or LPG mixtures, fitted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured to the regulator and the appliance with hose clips. 1. Ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position and verify that the gas cylinder valve is closed by turning the handle on the gas cylinder valve clockwise until it stops. 2.
Lighting Instructions Always open hood while igniting grill. If grill does not light, always wait 5 minutes for gas to clear before relighting. Failure to do either may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death. Once lit, but before cooking on grill for first time, let grill sit for 15 minutes with hood closed. This heat cleans grill’s internal parts from anything they may have come into contact with during manufacturing and shipping. Main Burners 1.
Lighting Burner with a Match 1. Push in and rotate knob to HIGH position 2. Place match in match holder installed on side of grill housing. Once lit, place flame through cooking grates near burner ports, as shown. Burner should light immediately. 3. Adjust knobs to desired cooking settings. Observe Flame Height When Lit View burner flame through flame viewing hole. Flame should be blue and yellow in color, and approximately 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch tall on HIGH setting. Disconnecting the Gas Cylinder 1.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in an upright position and out of the reach of children. The cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 121° F. Do not store the cylinder near flames, pilot lights or other sources of ignition. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR A GAS CYLINDER. Again, this appliance is designed for use outdoors, away from any flammable materials. It is important that there are no overhead obstructions and that there is a minimum distance of 90cm from the side or rear of the appliance.
CLEANING AND CARE CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done while grill is completely cool and with gas cylinder valve completely closed. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish. Recommended Cleaning Materials • • • • Mild dishwashing liquid detergent Nylon cleaning pad Hot water Wire brush Cleaning • • • • • • • • Burning off the grill after every use (approximately 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
• • • • • • • • • • • • Ashes left in bottom of CHARCOAL GRILL for too long hold moisture and may cause rust if not cleaned out. GRILL is made of steel and cast iron, which WILL rust, especially without proper care. Do not use self-starting charcoal, as it gives off an unnatural flavor. Burn lighter fluid off completely before cooking. After use, coat bare metal with vegetable oil to reduce rust. Remove EXTERIOR rust with wire brush and touch up with high heat paint, available at most hardware/auto stores.

Typically, this means foods that are relatively small or thin such as steaks, chops, boneless chicken breasts, fish fillets, hamburgers, etc. Cooking with a MEAT THERMOMETER ensures food is fully cooked. Insert into the thickest part not touching bone, and allow five minutes to register. Internal temperatures for FOWL should be 170°F to 180°F.
• • Grill for 20 minutes. Sear with lid open and fire grate in high (hot) position for 1 minute on each side before lowering grate and closing lid. To SMOKE, place birds in center of GRID with fire in both ends of FIRE BOX.
