OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT UNIT WITHOUT REMOVING THE WEATHER COVER OR OPEN-
ING THE STAINLESS STEEL HOOD. Gas can accumulate and cause RAPID IGNITION. Always
be sure unit is lit before closing the hood.
2. Ensure all control valves are in the CLOSED position (parallel to the work shelf with all knob ends
turned to the left).
3. Securely connect the regulator to the propane cylinder and test for leaks according to the
instructions found on PAGE 5 & 6 of this manual.
4. Generously coat grates with vegetable oil or oil-based cooking spray.
5. Open cylinder valve completely and allow system to pressurize - takes about 1 minute.
6.
TO LIGHT THE GRILL:
Hold a lit long-handled butane lighter gun or fireplace match down through
the cooking grate next to a burner and open the control valve (black knob is pointing at you). The
burner will ignite instantly with a *POOF* sound. Remove lighter and open 2nd control valve - it will
light instantly from the 1st. Repeat for each section of the grill you plan to use.
7. Once burners are lit, adjust the control knobs to set desired temperature. Grill will reach ~800° in
approximately 5-8 minutes if running at full blast.
8.
TO TURN OFF GRILL:
Simply turn all of the control knobs to the CLOSED position (parallel to
the work shelf with all knob ends turned to the left), close main cylinder valve, and disconnect the
propane cylinder. NEVER turn grill off by closing cylinder valve first.
9. Wait approximately 10-15 minutes before attempting to clean or coat grates with vegetable oil. You
want to give the lava rock enough time to cool down otherwise flare-ups may occur.
