Warnings
A. SAFE LOCATIONS FOR USE OF THIS OUTDOOR GRILL
DANGER :
???Never use this outdoor Grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat, trailer or recreational vehicle, to prevent a possible fire and to prevent the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.
WARNINGS :
???Always confirm that this Grill is not positioned under a combustible object (e.g., an awning or umbrella) or in a covered area (e.g., a porch or gazebo) before lighting it, to prevent a possible fire.
???Always confirm that this Grill is not positioned under the overhang of a house, a garage or other structure before lighting it. An overhang will serve to deflect flareups and radiated heat into the structure itself, which could result in a fire.
???Always confirm that this Grill is positioned more than 36??? (1m) away from any combustible materials or surfaces before lighting it, and that no gasoline or other volatile substances are stored in the vicinity of this Grill. The tempera- ture of a grease fire or of the radiated heat might otherwise be sufficient to ignite nearby combus- tibles or volatile substances.
???Always locate this Grill where there will be ample combustion and ventilation air, but never position it in the direct path of a strong wind.
???Never allow the Grill to operate while unat- tended, to prevent uncontrolled grease fires from erupting.
Never attempt to move this Grill while it is in opera- tion or while it is still hot, to prevent possible personal injury.
???Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this Grill or in the vacinity of any other
???Always confirm that the installation of this Grill conforms with the requirements of all local Codes or, in the absence of any applicable local Codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1; CAN/CGA- B149.1, National Gas Installation Code; or

Warnings
B. SAFE USE OF LP (PROPANE) GAS
DANGER :
???Never install a propane cylinder that is more than 80 % full, as the contents may lack adequate room for expansion when exposed to heat. Propane vapor may then be vented through the pressure release valve, which could accumulate in a pool and later result in a fire or explosion.
Always instruct your certified propane fuel supplier to confirm by weight that your cylinder is not more than 80 % full. An empty cylinder will weigh about 18 lbs., while a properly filled cylinder should weigh no more than 38 lbs.
???Never store a spare Propane Cylinder in the cylinder compartment of this Grill. Exposing a discon- nected cylinder to heat could result in the venting of propane vapor through the pressure release valve, and the pooled vapor could result in a violent fire. (No hazard is posed by the connected cylinder if it is not overfilled, however, as it tends to refrigerate itself while it is being used.)
Always confirm that all openings in the cylinder compartment of this Grill are free of any obstructions that would restrict the circulation of ventilation air. Good ventilation will prevent the pooling of leaked propane vapor, which is heavier than air, and which could explode if ignited.
WARNINGS :
???Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the Grill to confirm which fuel must be used with the Grill. Never operate the Grill with propane gas if it has been configured to use natural gas, to prevent hazardous overheating.
???Always confirm that there are no gas leaks before lighting this Grill. Apply a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to the gas supply line connectors with a brush or spray bottle, and watch for bubbles.
Never use a match or open flame to test for gas leaks.
???Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking or rodent damage before each use of this Grill and, if necessary, install a replacement obtained from CFM Harris Systems Customer Service

Methods of Cooking
With its combination of burners and accessories your gas grill can provide for virtually every conceivable style of cooking.
???The powerful Main burners deliver the middle and high range of tempera- tures desired for traditional barbecuing. This includes searing and finishing steaks, hamburgers, pork chops and the like, or grilling chicken parts, sausages, or kebabs with more moderate heat (see Fig. 13a).
???The optional Side burner boils, saut??s, stir fries or warms all with equal aplomb. Plus its high power is more than adequate for deep frying seafood, vegetables and meats or hard boiling soups, lobsters or corn on the cob (see Fig. 13b).
???The optional Griddle pan accessory extends your capabilities again. With this item you can pan fry eggs and bacon, potatoes or seafood. Or if you prefer, use it to grill fish steaks, other seafood or lamb chops.

Cooking
One of the keys to extending your range of grilling capabilities is a fundamental understanding of the two common methods of cooking, Direct and Indirect cooking.
In the Direct cooking method food is placed directly above the heat source. This method is used in searing for example where you require high and immediate heat to quickly brown the outside layer of meats thereby sealing in their juices to enhance flavor. On the grill this is accomplished using one or both of your main burners and placing the food on the porcelain cooking grids directly over the burners. This may be done with the grill hood either open or closed.
In the Indirect cooking method food is placed on the grill offset from the heat source . With the grill lid closed reflected heat surrounds the food cooking it more evenly and gently. This approximates the action of a convection oven where heat is circulated by the use of a fan to achieve a similar result. This method is perfect for cooking roasts of any kind but is also useful whenever you want to slow cook or bake a wide variety of foods. Indirect cooking on your grill is accomplished using one of the main burners and placing the food on the porcelain cooking grid above the opposite burner, or on the warming rack burner. The grill hood should always be closed when employing the indirect cooking method
Preparing Food for the Grill
WARNING: Always observe safe
???Always cook foods adequately. Undercooked foods can retain bacteria, especially if thawed or exposed to warm conditions prior to cooking.
???Always use a meat thermometer to confirm that foods have been fully cooked.
???Always use separate plates and utensils for the handling of raw food. Never place raw food and cooked food on the same plate, and never place cooked food on a plate that was used for handling raw food. Al ways carefully wash all plates and utensils used to handle raw food before using them to handle cooked food.
???Always wash all vegetables, seafood and poultry before cooking.
???Always leave uncooked foods in the refrigerator until you are ready to start cooking.
???Always marinate meat in the refrigerator. Always dispose of the excess marinade, and never reuse it.
???Always preheat your Grill for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking, and clean off all grease and food residue before using the cooking grids.

Grilling Tips
A few helpful hints will ensure that your grilling results are perfect every time.
???Apply a light coating of cooking oil to your cooking grids before grilling, to prevent foods from sticking.
???Cook similar portion sizes together, so that they all cook evenly.
???Use tongs to turn foods on the Grill.
???Never pierce foods while they are cooking on the Grill, as this will dry them out.
???On foods such as pork chops and steak, slit the fat strip to prevent the meat from curling during cooking.
???Turn foods infrequently. Some chefs say that a good steak should never be turned more than once.
???Apply
???Soak the string you use to tie up roasts and poultry on the Rotisserie spit to protect it from burning. Also, soak the wooden skewers that you intend to use for kebabs for several minutes before using them for
cooking. ??
???Use a disposable aluminum tray filled with water, fruit juice, wine or a marinade to add extra flavor and moisture to
WARNING : Never let the tray boil dry. That could be hazardous, as grease from fatty foods that have collected in the tray could ignite and possibly cause bodily injury or property damage.
NOTE : Always trim excess fat from your foods to reduce the occurrence of flareups during cooking.

Care & Maintenance
Care & Cleaning
WARNING : Always observe the following safety precautions, to prevent bodily injury and to assure that your Grill will operate properly :
??? Always allow sufficient time for the Grill to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of its parts.
Burners
NOTE : All of the burners should be inspected frequently and cleaned as often as is necessary.
??? Main Burner
WARNING : Always inspect the air shutter screen periodically to confirm that it is clear of food residue, spider webs or other insect debris. A clogged venturi tube can cause a fire to occur beneath the Grill, due to a flashback of gas
(see Fig. 14).
NOTE : Remove the cooking Grills and the sear plates to inspect the burner at least once per year, or more frequently if required.
Loosen the burner attachment screws (from inside) to allow the burners to be pulled away from the valves far enough for a ventuti brush or suitable cleaning device to be inserted into the burner venturi to clean away debris (see Fig. 14). Be careful not to damage the electrode ceramics.
Reinstall the burners properly over the valves (see Fig. 19). Use a wire brush or toothpick to clean the ports all around the sides of the burner (see Fig. 15). It is normal for some surface rust to appear on the burner. Severe rusting can enlarge the gas ports, however, which could cause changes in the Grill???s performance.

Fig. 15
Side Burner
Inspect the air shutter screen periodically (see Fig. 16) and confirm that it is clear of food residue, cobwebs or other insect debris. The Side Burner ignition electrode delivers a spark to ignite the gas at the burner. Always keep it clear of any buildup of foreign material, as that can act as an insulator and prevent the burner from lighting.
Cooking Grids
The cooking grids have been porcelain enameled for durability and ease of cleaning. These Grills may be cleaned with any nonabrasive cleaning agent formulated for kitchen use, or a brass wire brush.
NOTE : Always handle the grids with care, as porcelain enamel is susceptible to chipping.

Stainless Steel Panels
Stainless steel is very durable and should last indefinitely with a minimum of care. Due to the nature of its brushed surface, minor scratches may appear with normal use and handling. These may be removed with the use of a fine to medium grade
Periodic cleaning with a
CAUTION : NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS, SCOURING PADS OR OTHER ABRASIVE MATERIALS
TO CLEAN THE STAINLESS STEEL PANELS, TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE SURFACES.
Porcelain Enamel Castings
Periodic cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth or soft brush will keep porcelain enamel surfaces looking new. Use a kitchen appliance cleaner or a polish expressly formulated for use on porcelain enamel to clean the porcelain enamel castings.
CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS OR ABRAISIVE MATERIALS TO CLEAN THE PORCELAIN
ENAMEL CASTINGS, AS THEY WILL PERMANENTLY SCRATCH THE PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES.

Care & Maintenance
Maintenance
Burner Adjustment
NOTE : It may be necessary to adjust the burners periodically, to compensate for variables in gas characteristics. If you notice that the burner flame pattern is irregular (see Figs. 9a, 9b & 9c) it may be necessary to adjust the air shutter opening at the front of the venturi tubes. The shutters are accessible under the control panel at the front of the Grill (see Fig. 18).
Use a screwdriver to loosen the locking screws. Open the shutter just enough to achieve the desired soft, blue flames. Make adjustments in small increments and allow the burner to come up to operating temperature (10 min.) before making further adjustments.
Loosen the
Locking Screw
Turn Shutter Clockwise to Open
