Helpful Care and Maintenance Hints
Before grilling, pre-heat grill for 15 minutes on “MAX” with hood down. To
avoid uncontrolled flare-ups or grease fires, grill meats with hood open.
Close hood if meats are thick or weather is cold, or if you are using a
rotisserie or indirect cooking.
Always protect your hand with a pot mitten or cooking glove when coming into
contact with a hot surface.
Hood up when grilling meats, especially chicken. Hood down when indirect or
rotisserie cooking.
NEVER leave your grill unattended while cooking.
After use, close hood, turn burners to “MAX” for 15 min. for self-cleaning, grease
burn off.

Gauging amount of LPG fuel
To gauge the amount of propane fuel in your gas tank, the grill must be in operation.
Place your hand at the top of the tank and slowly move down the side until the tank
feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of propane gas in
your tank; if 3/4 empty, refill.
Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of
such material will void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and
bodily harm.
