GENERAL WARNINGS WARNING • Never use natural gas in a unit designed for liquid propane gas. • Never use charcoal or wood briquets in a gas grill. Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal smoking box to contain ash and prevent fires. • Leak test all connections before first use, even if grill was purchased fully assembled and after each tank refill. • Never check for leaks using a match or open flame. CAUTION! Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of propane.
WARNING • FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as a garage, shed or breezeway. • Use your grill OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. Although minimum clearance is 36 inches (91 cm), we strongly recommend that you do not operate this appliance within 10 ft. (3.0 m) of any structure, combustible material or extra LP gas cylinders not attached to the appliance.
CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS: When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas grill, it must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
WARNING FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER: • Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder. • New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank. • DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel propane gas vapors.
WARNING • Never use your grill without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the section on "Leak Testing" in this manual for proper procedures. WARNING The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas grill must be used. • DO NOT attempt to connect grill, as purchased for LP (propane) gas, to any other fuel supply source such as a natural gas line. A conversion kit (Model 812-8000-S) must be purchased and installed for use with natural gas.
DANGER LEAK TESTING: To prevent fire or explosion hazard: • DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test. • Perform test OUTDOORS only in a well ventilated area. • Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame. • Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use or while grill is still hot. WARNING WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST: • After assembling your grill and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled.

WARNING Read, understand and follow all warnings and instructions contained in this manual. DO NOT skip any of the warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual. WARNING LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Follow the instructions exactly. 1. OPEN THE GRILL LID before attempting to light a burner so that fumes do not accumulate inside the grill. An explosion could occur if grill lid is down. 2. Check that all burner control knobs and the cylinder valve are turned to the "OFF" position. 3.
Note: If burner does not light or flame is too low, you may have spider or other insect blockage in burner, or the flow limiting device has been activated.

Strike and carefully place a match approximately 1/2" (1 to 2 cm) from the burner. 4. Turn the side burner control knob to the "HIGH" position. The burner should light within 5 seconds. 5. If the burner does not light, turn the control knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate and repeat lighting procedure. 6.
WARNING OPERATING THE GRILL: Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual. BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL: • In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surfaces of your grill. • Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "HIGH" to burn off these residual oils.
ROTISSERIE COOKING: • Your grill was pre-drilled from factory to include mounting holes for a rotisserie (sold separately). Do not use a rotisserie not specifically manufactured for this grill. • Read and follow all instructions provided with the rotisserie. Save instructions for future reference. • Do not use the side burner when using a rotisserie. • DO NOT use back rotisserie burner when main burners are in use.
GRILL COOKING TIPS CLEANLINESS • Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot water prior to handling food and after handling raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood. • When using a platter to carry raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood to the grill, make sure to wash the platter thoroughly with soap and hot water before placing cooked foods back on the platter or use different platters for raw and cooked foods.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE: • Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. • • Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris. Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE CONTINUED Note: Follow the "Gas Leak Testing" section of this manual. Relight burners to verify proper operation. 12. Replace heat distribution plates and cooking grills. PROPER BURNER OPERATION COOKING GRILLS • Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used to remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cooking grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack.
BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL: • Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed. • Clean all surfaces. • Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting. • If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS. • Place a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank outdoors in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
