UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY ...
GAS CONNECTIONS WARNING NEVER CONNECT A GAS LINE DIRECTLY TO THE GRILL. A PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL GAS EQUIPMENT. ALL LOCAL CODES REQUIRE IT AND LYNX SUPPLIES THE CORRECT REGULATOR WITH YOUR GRILL. REMOVING OR FAILING TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. The grill is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT). It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the grill was set up for.
GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued For freestanding units using natural gas, Lynx recommends using a mobile flex gas line. This is available at your local hardware store or from your dealer. LP GAS Grills set up for LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/ regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder. (Type 1). All fittings necessary to attach the assembly to the grill are included.
GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the coupler is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this connection. GAS CONVERSION KITS Gas conversion kits are available from Lynx Grills to allow the grill to operate on either Natural gas or LPG. These kits should be installed by a qualified technician or certified plumber. To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off.
GAS CONNECTIONS ...continued NG AND BULK PROPANE CART INSTALLATION • Shut off the gas supply at the main valve. • Disconnect all plumbing (if already attached) from the grill and the gas supply valve. • Remove all the fittings from the grill manifold. • Connect the gas supply to the grill as shown in the diagram on this page for your gas type. Inline Regulator • Turn the gas supply on and leak test all connections. (See INDEX: “Leak Test” for further details.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING • Product installation must meet local electric codes or, in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CGA 1.6b2005. • Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance. • IMPORTANT: When connecting your rotisserie motor, first connect the motor to the grill and then plug the grill into the outlet.
FINAL CHECKS LEAK TESTING DANGER! To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, etc) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test using fire or flame. The main ceramic burners and Trident ™ burner on your Lynx grill feature an adjustable low setting.
FINAL CHECKS ...continued Flames should be blue and stable with slight yellow tips on the ceramic burner. The bright-blue core should be about 3/8 inch high with a total flame height of about 1 1/2 inches. IMPORTANT: The flames should burn quietly (no “torch” sounds) and they should not “lift” up from the burner. If your flames do not match those indicated in the photo, ensure that the burner ports are free and clear of dirt, debris, or spider webs.
CHECKLIST BEFORE EACH USE (FOR YOUR SAFETY) • Do you smell gas? If yes, shut off everything and call the gas company or a qualified plumber to check for leaks, if not please continue. • If you are using a portable propane cylinder, is it connected and leak tested? If not, check the connection before continuing. If yes, please continue. • Are you prepared to stay with the grill during the entire cooking process? If not, gather what you need before starting the lighting process. If yes, please continue.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL. 1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING. 2. Ensure all tie-down straps have been removed from the burners. 3. Always use caution when operating the grill in a windy area. (See INDEX: “Grilling in Windy Conditions” for further details.) 4. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite. 5.
GRILLING IN WINDY CONDITIONS IMP OR TAN T! Outdoor grills create more heat than interior kitchen ranges. That’s how they sear and grill steaks and other foods. These high-performance burners require a constant, steady supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your Lynx grill pulls air Wind hitting the back of the grill can disrupt proper exhaust. Your Lynx grill features an exclusive, patent-pending Heat Stabilizer that will deflect wind and, in most cases, prevent this situation.
USING YOUR LYNX GRILL Grilling requires high heat for searing and low, controlled heat for slow cooking. Some foods are cooked using direct heat and some using indirect heat. Thinner cuts of food are often cooked at a “HI” heat setting with the lid open. Your Lynx grill features a variety of professional-level burners and tools for meeting the wide variety of cooking challenges. We will reveal how these features work for you.
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST ...continued BEFORE EACH USE Before any use, always make sure that: • ... you do not smell gas before you light the grill. If you do smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualified plumber check for leaks. • … the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles, besides your food, that might ignite. • … the control knobs turn freely. • … if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it is securely connected and leak tested. (See INDEX: “Cylinder Requirements” for details.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL ...continued COLD WEATHER WARNING: PROPANE Extremely cold temperatures may cause your Trident ™ burners to light inside the burners instead of outside. Once lit, if you hear a ‘whooshing’ sound, immediately turn the burner knobs off to extinguish the flame and then immediately re-light the burners. MANUAL LIGHTING Trident ™ Burner If a burner doesn’t light after several attempts, it can be match lit using the lighting rod stored in the drip tray.
BASIC GRILLING PRE-HEATING TYPES OF COOKING Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is extremely important. Pre-heating allows the briquettes to properly heat up, providing more even and more consistent cooking results. The main ceramic burners and the Trident ™ burner in your Lynx grill are capable of creating a range of heat intensities.
USING THE TRIDENT ™ BURNER Never place food over a Trident ™ burner before it is fully pre-heated because food particles and grease dripping onto a cold Trident ™ burner can clog the tiny ports and damage the burner. For the same reason you should minimize water spills on the Trident ™ burner and should not use water to control flare-ups. Take special care to minimize dropping any liquids on the Trident ™ burner while cleaning the cooking grids.
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER Rotisserie cooking provides an even delivery of heat to your foods. It has no equal. The constant rotation not only cooks foods evenly, it also self bastes. As juices rise to the surface of the food, they naturally flow around it as it rotates. And, by moving the burner out from beneath the food, you avoid scorching flare-ups. Your foods will be more evenly cooked, more tender and juicier when slow-roasted on a Lynx’s rotisserie.
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER ...continued Slide the pointed end of the skewer into the motor and rest the other end on the rollers on the other side of the grill. serie lighting procedure. (See INDEX: “Rotisserie Burner, Lighting” for further details.) The notched portion of the skewer must rest on the rollers for proper operation. Once lit, the rotisserie burner should reach cooking temperatures in about 1 minute. It will glow evenly across its surface in about 5 minutes.
CLEANING YOUR LYNX GRILL (Including Required Maintenance) STAINLESS STEEL Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship. In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of the grill it is important to take the following steps: • After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease and splatters.
CLEANING YOUR LYNX GRILL (Including Required Maintenance)...continued To Remove Ceramic Burners: WARNING DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS GREASE OR LIQUIDS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE DRIP TRAY AS THIS MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT DRIP TRAY PROPERLY INSTALLED. Remove the grill racks and briquette trays. Rremove the burner caps to prevent accidental breakage Lift the burner up until the legs exit the frame. Then pull to the rear of the grill so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front.
CLEANING YOUR LYNX GRILL (Including Required Maintenance)...continued TRIDENT ™ BURNER It’s easy to keep your Trident ™ burner operating at peak performance. Just run it on “HI” with the hood open for 5 minutes after each use to burn away any food particles or drippings. Heat Shield Removed, Orifice/Venturi Position Any ash accumulation on the burner screen can be removed with a light brush or vacuum … BUT WAIT UNTIL THE BURNER IS COOL! Never use water or liquid to clean.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS GRILL WON’T LIGHT First, confirm that the grill is getting electricity by turning on the lights, then: Check The Igniters Your Lynx grill uses an electric ignition system that does not spark. Instead, the igniters should glow constantly when a control knob is pushed in. • Ensure that all burner controls are set to OFF. If match lighting doesn’t work, re-check fuel connections for leaks and ensure the supply is of the correct type and is of adequate pressure.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued REPLACE any damaged supply lines. • Check the Regulator Make sure that the regulator & hose assembly is the one designed for and supplied with your Lynx grill and that it is correctly set up for the type of fuel you are using. (See INDEX: “Regulator Conversion” for further details.) The hose and regulator provided by Lynx must be used if your grill is set-up for a portable LP Gas Cylinder. Ensure the LP hose is not behind the firebox.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued BURNER GOES OUT • Location First determine if the problem is being caused by location. If the grill is subject to high winds, reposition it to provide some protection. • Check the Flame Check the gas supply and flame characteristics. (See INDEX: “Flame, Correct Size”) • Burners Seated Check to ensure that the burners are correctly positioned in the grill. (See INDEX: “Burner Placement” for further details.
