Important
The cook grates on this unit have been coated with an
organic FDA approved, food safe anti-rust oil at the factory.
Be sure to burn off all the oil on the grates before cooking.
With the unit in position under the exhaust hood, run the
unit on high for approximately 30 minutes to burn off all
the oil. This only needs to be done when the unit is new,
before cooking for the first time.
Before Turning on the Grill
• Ensure it has been installed correctly by a trained/
licensed technician.
• Check that all packaging material has been removed from
the cook area (including under the cook grates) and that
the plastic film has been removed from all stainless steel
panels.
• Ensure the ceramic ring is in place on the locating pin and
the burner cap is installed on top of the burner.
• Cook grates are in position and have been cleaned and
seasoned.
Turning on the Grill
• To turn on the grill, simply hit the power switch. Most
units have multiple switches and each switch turns on the
burner directly in front of it. When a switch is activated,
the grill will automatically light the burner. This can take
between 10 and 30 seconds. If the red indicator light
above the switch comes on, the burner has “locked out”
and the power switch needs to be toggled to try lighting
the burner again. If the burner locks out a second time,
check the troubleshooting section of this manual.
• Once the burner is on, it can be adjusted by turning the
control knob. The low setting will hold a temperature
between 500-550°F and the high setting will hold a
temperature of 700-750°F. It will take approximately 30-
45 minutes for the unit to heat up and be ready to cook
on.
• For optimal ignition performance it is best to set the knob
to the middle position when starting the unit.
Shutting off the Grill
• To turn off the unit, toggle the rocker switch to the off
position. If there are multiple switches, be sure to turn
them all off when shutting down the grill.
• For units with multiple burners, one or more burners
can be shut off during slow times to conserve energy;
however, keep in mind that sections of the grill that are
shut down will need 30-45 minutes to heat up once
turned back on again.
• In the event of a power outage, the gas valve(s) will close
immediately and all burner(s) will turn off. Be sure to
toggle off the power switch(es) on the unit to prevent the
unit from automatically coming back on when power is
restored.

Warning
If the power supply to the appliance fails/power-outage/
power-cut, please switch off the appliance at the front
switch. Do not walk away from a grill that has no power
but with the switch turned on. Doing so could cause
a fire if something flammable is left unattended near
the appliance and the power then comes back on and
reignites the grill.
