GRILL SAFETY CHECK

For your family’s safety, please check the following:

READ and UNDERSTAND the owner’s manual

CHECK that the regulator nipple is centered into the LP tank valve. Do NOT cross thread this connection. Cross

threading may result in a re, or explosion at the tank connection.

PERFORM LEAK TEST on all connections as specied in this user manual. Leak Checks should be performed

on all new BBQ’s even if assembled by an assembler or gas technician. Leak checks should be performed

frequently thereafter.

DO NOT position or operate barbecue under overhang or unprotected construction, against a wall, near

aluminum siding, windows or fencing.

INSPECT and CLEAN burner tubes to avoid ash res caused by spider webs and other blockages. Inspect gas

jets to ensure they are correctly installed in burner tubes. Never leave a lit grill unattended.

BEFORE OPENING THE GAS SUPPLY, ensure the lid is open, control knobs are in OFF position, gas is turned o,

and the regulator is attached to tank correctly. Then follow the PROPER LIGHTING PROCEDURE as shown in the

manual. If above steps are not followed, you may experience low ames, or other performance issues.

AVOID dangerous grease res by performing regular cleaning and maintenance of interior casting, the grease

collection system, ame tamers and cooking grates.

Large yellow ames and the smell of gas indicate a blockage in the burner, usually a spider web. Remove the

burner and clear the obstruction.

CAUTION: IN DIRECT SUN, AND IN OPERATION, YOUR BBQ’S STAINLESS STEEL AND PAINTED STEEL PARTS CAN

BECOME VERY HOT.

COOKING AND PERFORMANCE ! ! ! • CAUTION! • AVOID BURNS! • DO NOT TOUCH WHEN BBQ IS IN USE! • EXTREMELY HOT SURFACE! * SHADED AREAS BECOME EXTREMELY HOT WHEN IN USE. Grilling Tips • Create an improved, non-stick cooking surface by coating all cooking grates with vegetable shortening or cooking oil before preheating. • To reduce flare up’s keep the BBQ clean, cook lean cuts of meat, trim excess fat and avoid cooking over very “MAX” temperatures.
PAGE 13
• For best results always use meat that has been thawed overnight in the fridge or at room temperature. • Tie the poultry or meat with a string to keep the shape uniform all around. If the meat is too heavy or irregular it may not rotate well. Cook by indirect method instead. • Remove from spit and insert rod lengthwise through the meat and fasten with forks. • Tighten screws with pliers as they tend to loosen during turning process. • Remove the warming rack prior to use.
