Use and Care Manual

WARNING
Turn your controls, gas source or tank
OFF when not in use.
▲
Do not lean over the grill while lighting.
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner
controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting
procedure. If the burner does not ignite with the valve
open, gas will continue to flow out of the burner and
could accidently ignite with risk of injury.
CAUTION
Match Lighting Instructions
1. Open the lid during lighting.
2. Place the match into the match holder (hanging on the
left side panel).
3. Light the match and insert the match holder through the
lighting in the side of the firebox.
4. Place the lighted match next to a burner. Turn the burner
knob to HI position. Be sure the burner lights and stays
lit.
5. To light the other burners, repeat step 3 & 4.
6. Once the burners are lit, adjust the knobs to the desired
flame setting. To extinguish any individual burner, turn its
knob to OFF.
Burner Flame Check
• Remove the cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light the burners
and rotate the knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should see a
smaller flame on the LOW setting and a higher flame on the HI
setting. Always check the flame prior to each use. If only low
flame is seen, refer to the "Sudden drop or low flame" in the
Troubleshooting Section on page 33.
Turning the Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to the OFF position. Turn the LP tank off. When
you are finished grilling, raise the grill lid to allow the grill to
fully cool. If the grill lid is closed while the grill is cooling,
condensation may occur on the interior grill surfaces which can
cause the interior parts to rust.
Igniter Check
• Turn the LP tank off. Press and hold the electronic igniter button.
"Click" should be heard and sparks should be seen each time
between the collector box or burner and electrode. See the
Troubleshooting Section on pages 32-34 if there are no clicks
or sparks
Valve Check
• Important: Be sure the gas in the LP tank is turned off before
checking the valve and the knobs are in the Off Setting. To
check the valves, first push in the knobs and release. The knobs
should spring back. If the knobs do not spring back, replace the
valve assembly before using the grill. Turn the knobs to the
LOW position then turn back to the OFF position. Valves should
turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hose is cut or worn. Replace
damaged hose before using the grill. Only use the
valve/hose/regulator as specified in the parts list of this Use &
Care Guide.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of the gas grills are not painted at the
factory
(and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with a scrub brush
to clean the inside of the grill. Rinse and allow the grill to
completely dry.
Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to
the painted surfaces.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of the glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
a specially formulated cleaner. Use a nonabrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with a mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high-quality
appearance, wash with a mild detergent and warm soapy
water. Then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Baked-on grease
deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning
pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.
Do not use the abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the
grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on the
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean the cooking surfaces while the grill is hot.
• Drip Tray and Cup: When the grill has completely cooled
down after use, remove the drip tray and drip cup for cleaning.
