Question:
Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in other words
from LPG to NG?
Answer:
No, your gas grill is manufactured
according t
o exact
specifications and is certified for Liquid Propane(LP) gas use only.
For your safety, conversion kits are not available, nor will we sell
or otherwise provide parts or information to be used to convert
your grill. Any attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will
void your warranty.
Question:

The serial and model numbers are listed on a data label tag with
regulator hose.
Question:
My grill will not light properly.
Answer:
Turn gas off at
source and turn the control knob off. Wait at least
5 minutes for the gas to clear, then retry.
If your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner Control Knob and gas
source off and conduct a leak test of all gas connections and gas
sources as explained in the Use and
Care section of this manual.
If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear and
repeat the lighting procedure.

match into the lighting stick(sold separately) and light it.
Turn the
burner control knob to the HIGH setting to release gas. The burner
should light immediately.
Question:
Where do I use my gas grill for safer operation and better perfor-
mance?
Answer:
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the heating
•
and performance of your gas grill so factor in these elements
when positioning your gas grill outdoors for cooking.
In windy conditions, always position the front of the gas grill
•
to face oncoming wind to reduce heat and smoke blowing in
your face, and to prevent potential hazards to yourself and
the gas grill.
Use your gas grill at least 3 feet away from any wall or
•
surface.
Use your gas grill at least 3 feet away from combustible
•
objects that can melt or catch fire (ex: vinyl or wood siding,
fences and overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot
lights on water heaters and live electrical appliances.
Never use this gas appliance on a balcony, deck, or patio
•
above the ground floor of your home.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway
•
or any other enclosed area.
Question:
What causes grill parts to rust and what effect does it have on my
gas grill?
Answer:
Rusting is a natural oxidation process and will not affect the short
term performance of your gas grill.
To slow the rusting process on the cooking grid, we recommend
greasing the tray before and after each cookout. Use a brush to
apply a thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto the
grid. We do not suggest spray type oils unless they are specified
for high-temperature cooking. If your cooking racks are porcelain
coated, be sure to coat the entire cooking surface including edges
and any areas with chipped porcelain.
Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve the
appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The fact
is stainless steel can corrode, rust and discolor under certain
conditions. Rust is caused when regular steel particles in the
atmosphere become attached to the stainless steel surface. Steel
particles can also become attached to your gas grill if you use
steel wool or stiff wire brushes to clean the gas grill instead of
non-abrasive cloth, sponge or nylon cleaning tools. In coastal
areas rust pits can develop on stainless steel surfaces that cannot
be fully removed. Bleach and other chlorine based solutions used
for household and pool cleaning can also cause corrosion to
stainless steel.
Weathering, extreme heat, smoke from cooking and machine oils
used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can cause
stainless steel to turn tan in color. Although there are many factors
which can affect the surface appearance of stainless steel, they
do not affect the integrity of the steel or the performance of the
gas grill. To help maintain the finish of stainless steel follow these
cleaning procedures for best results:
After every use (after your gas grill has cooled down), wipe
stainless steel surfaces with a soft, soapy cloth or sponge then
rinse with water. Be sure to remove all food particles, sauces or
marinades from stainless steel bec
ause these can be highly acidic
and damaging to stainless surfaces.
Question:
How to prevent the pizza from sticking to the pizza stone?
Answer:
Adding flour or corn-meal can keep your pizza from sticking on the
hot pizza stone. Before inserting the pizza into the oven, sprinkle
flour or corn-meal under the pizza crust and across the pizza stone
surface. Once the pizza is cooked, the flour and corn-meal can
help the pizza slide off the pizza stone.
Question
:
Can I clean the pizza stone with soap?
Answer:
No, because the pores of the ceramic pizza stone will absorb the
soap and it will make food taste soapy. The best cleaning method
is to wash the pizza stone with warm water and scrub off and
burnt food with a spatula. Wipe off any pieces of loosened food
remnants with damp cloth and let the pizza stone dry completely.
Question:
Does discoloring of the pizza stone affect its performance?
Answer:
No, some discoloring of the ceramic pizza stone is normal and will
not affect performance.
