Before Testing
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill.
WARNING: DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
To Test
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Using brush, apply mixture of 50% dish
soap and 50% water to all valve fittings, regulator connections and hose fittings. Turn the gas
supply on. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn
off the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and recheck. Should the gas continue to
leak from any or all of the fitting, turn off the gas supply, and contact our customer service.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution will
void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Gas Flow Check
The grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the
local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burner. The flames of and burner should be
visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these
conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider
webs, etc.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Grill:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning, however when grilling large pieces of
meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning.
This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or foods
basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
To Begin Grilling
1.
Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.
2.
Remove any remaining packing material.
3.
Light the grill burner using the instructions in this manual. The igniter knob is located on the
right hand side control box. The rotary igniter is labeled on this control panel.
4.
Turn the control knob to “HI” and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed
during the appliance preheat period.
5.
After the grill is preheated use a wire brush with a 12” or longer handle and scrape cooking
grates. Always wear heat resistant gloves to perform this task.
6.
Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary.
The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LOW”.
