Pre-Assembly Instructions For Your Safety
WARNING
CAUTION
!
!
Failure to comply with these instructions may result
in a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in injury.
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assem-
bly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using
your grill. (See figure). If the Orifice is not inside
the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger
into a small hook as shown and run the hook
through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible
handle and run the brush through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to
remove any debris.
METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air through
each Burner Tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstructions through the Burner and out
the Ports.

4. Refer to the figure below and perform one of these
3 cleaning methods:
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the Gas
Valve Orifice.
Check and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and nest
in the grill Burner Tubes during transit and ware-
housing which can lead to a gas flow obstruction
resulting in a fire in and around the Burner Tubes.
This type of "FLASHBACK FIRE" can cause serious
grill damage and create an unsafe operating con-
dition for the user.
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE
you must clean the Burner Tubes as follows
before initial use.
Also do this at least once a
month in summer and fall or whenever spiders are
active in your area, and if your grill has not been
used for an extended period of time.
Remove the screws from the rear of each Main Burner
using a Phillips head screwdriver or wrench.
WARNING:
Grease can get very hot. Always handle the Grease
Tray with a flame retardant BBQ mitt. Before removing the
Tray, always be sure that the grill has properly cooled. Be
aware that the Tray does contain grease and be extremely
careful when removing the Tray to prevent spillage. Failure to
follow these instructions could cause serious bodily injury or
property damage.
Grill Installation Codes
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2.

PRE-ASSEMBLY
Read and perform the following pre-assembly instruc-
tions:
Tools Required for Assembly
:
protective work gloves
protective eyewear
You will need assistance from another person to handle
the grill head and other large, heavy parts.
Open lid of shipping carton. Remove top sheet of
cardboard and packing materials. Lay cardboard sheet
on floor and use as a work surface to protect floor and
grill parts from scratches.
You may slice the carton front corners with a utility knife
to lay open the carton front panel. This allows you to
raise the Lid and remove the components packed in-
side, making it easier to lift.
Use the Hardware and Part Diagrams to ensure all items
are included and free of damage.
Do not throw away the bags of hardware that are in-
cluded with boxed parts. These are required for assem-
bly.
Do not assemble or operate the grill if it appears dam-
aged. If there are damaged or missing parts when you
unpack the shipping box or you have questions during
the assembly process call
1-800-474-5587
M-F 8AM-
4:30PM PST for assistance.
CAUTION
