ing gas supply connections.
2.
Be sure the LP gas tank is filled.
3.
Open the Grill Lid.
n
WARNING
Failure to open Grill Lid during the lighting procedures
could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious
bodily injury, death, or property damage.
4.
Check that the end of each burner tube is properly located
over each valve orifice.
5.
Make sure all gas connections are securely tightened.
6.
Set control knobs to OFF and open the LP gas tank valve
slowly until 1/4 to 1/2 open.
7.
All the burners are equipped with a pilot flame
ignition system.
Push the Control Knob in and turn
slowly
(counterclockwise) to
HIGH.
If you have diffi-
culty lighting the burner it may be necessary to turn
and hold the Knob for 1 (one) second at the point
prior to the Ignitor “clicking”. If burner does not light,
turn knob to
OFF
position and repeat. If it fails to light
again, turn control knob to the
OFF
position and wait
5 minutes for any accumulated gas to clear out of the
grill.
8.
Adjust control knobs to your desired cooking temperature.
If the knob is turned fully counterclockwise the lowest
flame setting will occur. To visually check that the
burner is operating look between the frame and tray
at the flame. The flame should be approximately
1/2"-3/4" long with the high setting (see
Figure 14
).
Lighting Your Grill by Match
To light your gas grill by match,
open the lid and light a match.
Place lit match on Match Holder
as shown in
Figure 15
. Turn the
right main burner control knob to
the High setting to release the
gas while holding the lit match on
the Match Holder near the Main
Burner. The burner should light
within 5 seconds. If it fails to light,
turn the valve off and wait 5 min-
utes before attempting to manu-
ally light the burner again.
Shutting Down Your Grill:
After you have finished using the Gas grill turn all knobs
to the OFF position. Close the valve on the gas supply.
Preheating the Grill:
Light the burners as previously directed and turn to high
and allow the grill to preheat for
5 minutes maximum.
Lower
the lid during this preheating period. Do not operate
Rotisserie Burner (if equipped) during this preheating period.
IMPORTANT - Heat Control:
When cooking with lid closed, never exceed tempera-
tures of
480°F (250°C).
Direct Cooking:
Your Gas grill is equipped with a number of burners
which can be regulated easily. This feature gives you the flex-
ibility to cook enough hamburgers to feed the whole gang
with all the burners at the same setting, or slow cook a
casserole over low heat on one side of the grill while you
sear a steak over a high flame on the other side, or just light
one or two of the burners for a small meal.
Indirect Cooking: (non-infrared burner models)
Cook large cuts of meat to golden perfection with indirect
heat. By using indirect heat, your food doesn't come in direct
contact with flame, instead, the heat from the lighted side of
the grill gently circulates throughout the grill cooking food
above the unlighted burners with indirect heat (
Figure 16
).
