GRILL LOCATION

Do not use the grill in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area. Never operate the grill in
enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup, which could result in injury or
death. Place the grill on a level surface. Avoid moving the grill while it is operation.

NOTE: The grill will operate best if it is not facing directly into the wind

.  

Clearance to combustible construction - A minimum of 13" from the sides and back must be maintained from the gas grill
above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction.

Clearance to non-combustible construction - A minimum of 6" clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible
construction is required for the lid to fully open.

Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the appliance.

GENERAL RULES

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking!

1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.
2. Light the grill burners using the instructions provided in this manual.
3. Turn the control knobs to desired temperature “High, Medium, or Low” and preheat the grill for 10 minutes 

before cooking.

4. Adjust heat settings to meet your cooking needs for desired results.
5. Allow grill to cool down, wipe off any splatters or grease and clean the drip tray as needed.
6. Do not put a cover on the grill while it is still hot as it could start a fire.

Using the Grill and Side Burner

Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from any heated
surfaces.

!

SIDE BURNER LIGHTING

Push and turn the control knob to the “HIGH” position and
immediately press and hold the electronic igniter button.
You’ll hear a snapping sound. It may be necessary to hold
the electronic starter button for about 4 seconds. If the 
burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to the
“OFF” position and wait 5 minutes before trying again. 
(See Fig. 26)

MATCH LIGHTING

If by chance the electronic igniter does not light the burner,
the burner may be lit with a match. Attach the match to the
match extender, located inside the right cart door.

Keep your face as far away from the grill surface as possible
and hold a match, attached to the match extender, near the
burner ports, then push and turn the control knob counter
clockwise to the “HIGH” position.
