PROPANE GAS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GRILL ENVIRONMENT
1.
WHERE TO SET-UP THE GRILL
With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time
needed to perfect your meals. All Pit Boss® Grills units should keep a minimum clearance of 914 mm (36 inches) from combustible
constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must not be placed under overhead
combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible materials, or other flammable vapors and liquids.
2.
COLD WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of grilled foods
will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:
• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your grill to
an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in relation to your
home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!
• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log or
history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to help you
determine what to cook and how long it will take.
• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.
3.
HOT WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout
the hot months:
• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat from over
cooking and drying out.
• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up newspaper
around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Before using your grill for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off. Start the grill and operate at a set temperature
of at least (177°C / 350°F) for 30 minutes to burn-off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.
AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Verify that the regulator knob is turned to the OFF position.
2. Note the triangular indicator mark on the gas valve knob. Push in the valve knob and turn 90 degrees (or 1/4) counter-clockwise
to HIGH.
3. Push the igniter button in repetitively until the catches flame. Listen for a
“click” sound to indicate a spark from the igniter, and
look for flame to ensure the burner is lit.
4. After the burner has caught fire, you are ready to enjoy your grill at your desired temperature!
If the burner goes out during operation, turn the regulator knob to the OFF position. Open the grill lid and wait
five minutes before attempting to relight to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your igniter fails after three of four attempts, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual
method.
1. Ensure the regulator knob is turned to the OFF position. Allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
