CAUTION
WARNING
Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF
when not in use.
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the
lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with
the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the
burner and could accidently ignite with risk of injury.
Match lighting instruction
▲ Do not lean over grill while lighting.
1. Open lid during lighting.
2. Place match into match holder (hanging on the left front leg
inside cabinet.
3.
Light match and insert match holder through lighting hole in left
side of firebox. Align lit match with first burner on left.
4.
Turn knob of first left burner to HI position. Be sure burner
lights and stays lit. Withdraw match holder from firebox and
extinguish match.
5.
To light other burners, turn each knob in succession to HI.
6. Once burners are lit, adjust knobs to desired flame setting. To
extinguish an individual burner, turn its knob to OFF.
Searing Burner Match Lighting
1. Open searing burner lid. Turn on gas at LP cylinder.
2. Place lit match near burner.
3. Turn searing burner knob to HI. Be sure burner lights and stays lit.
Burner Flame Check
• Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light burners, turn
knobs from HI to LO. You should see a smaller flame in
LO position than seen on HI. Perform burner flame check
on searing burner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If
only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden flame drop or low flame" in
the Troubleshooting Section.
Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off.
When you are finished grilling, raise the grill lid while allowing the grill to
fully cool. If the grill lid is closed during grill cooling, condensation may
occur on interior grill surfaces and possibly cause them to rust.
Igniter Check
• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic igniter button.
"Click" should be heard and spark seen each time between collector
box or burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.
Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves.
Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valves, first push in knobs and
release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace
valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn
back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace
damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator as
specified in the parts list of this Use & Care Guide.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for
paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should
never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or
use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom.
Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill
/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue
can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially
formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn
stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner
and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Cast Iron Grate Seasoning (if applicable)
First Use –Before first use, season cast iron grates as follows: Rinse
cast iron grates with hot water. Do not use soap. Dry grates thoroughly
with a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking
spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly raise temperature

grates to cool completely before using to cook.
Cleaning – Do not use soap when cleaning grates. Clean grates with
a stiff brush and hot water. Dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel.
Re-seasoning – Re-season grates when rust spots appear on
grate surface. When re-seasoning grates, soap may be used with
hot water to clean grates. After cleaning, dry grates thoroughly with
a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick
cooking spray. Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly
raise temperature to 350° - 400° F. Heat grates for one hour.
Turn off grill and allow grates to cool completely before using again.
