Leak Testing NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service. All leaks must be corrected immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one, make sure all control valves are in the “off” position. With the LP regulator connected to tank and grill and the grill knobs turned to OFF. Open the valve on the tank. Test for leaks by applying liquid soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate gas leak.
If flame is lifting, remove the front panel to access the burner front (air shutter) then turn the air shutter clockwise reducing this intake. The screw should be loosened before turning the air shutter. If the flame has more yellow than blue, the air shutter should be turned counter clockwise allowing more air in. This will stabilize the flame. Make sure to tighten the screw after adjustments are made. In order to provide gas to the burner, the orifice must be inside the burner venturi opening.
Operation DO NOT LEAVE YOUR GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE IN OPERATION. Grill: Grill burners are controlled individually with control knobs. After lighting, turn the knob to HI, LO or in between as desired. Turn on as many burners as required. The top cover may be closed during grilling. Keep the top cover in closed position during the pre heat period.
First Time Operation MAIN BURNERS: Before cooking with your grill the first time, burn off any foreign matter and rid the unit of any odors by operating the unit for about 10 minutes with all lower burners on high. The flame should have a bluish color to it. It may have a tint of yellow and adjustment to the air shutters can be made to obtain a blue flame with a slight yellow tip. Although the grill can be operated with the hood closed, do not continually operate the rotisserie burner with the hood closed.
Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning: Your Bar-B-Q grill works better and lasts longer if properly cleaned and maintained. Clean the grill after each use. Turn grill off before starting to clean. Protect your hand with a good mitt when cleaning the hot grill. Use a wire brush, dip in water and scrub the cooking grids to soften and loosen food spills. The food spills will fall into the crumb pan. Do not use Aerosol cleaners on hot grill surface.
The burners, control area, crumb pan, etc. should be kept clean at all times. During prolonged non-use of the grill, spiders & insects can nest in areas that will adversely affect the functioning of the grill. Check burner inlets, orifice hood (gas inlet to burner), igniter, sparkers, etc. thoroughly and clean before use. Fuel (Gas) Conversion Instructions for RCS grills.
Fuel Conversion of Main Burners: 1- Determine the existing gas type. (LP or Natural gas) Changing the gas type and orifice change out is the same for both gases. 2- You must remove all grates and burner covers to expose the main burners in the grill. 3- On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter pin. Remove pin. 4- Slide burner to the rear of the grill and up. Repeat for each burner. 5- Where the burner was located going through a hole in the basin and connecting to the valve is now evacuated space.
Rotisserie Burner Conversion: 1- Remove the back panel at the rear of the grill, this will expose the V shaped or pyramid shaped brass orifice. 2- Remove the existing orifice and replace with change out orifice. 3- Replace rear panel Trouble Shooting Problem Solution Burner will not light - Check gas supply to burner by manually lighting the burners. - See electrode for visible damage, replace if damaged.
