Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,

breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is to be used outdoors only, at least 24 inches from the back and side of any combustible surface. Your

gas grill should not be used under overhead combustible construction. Do not obstruct the flow of

ventilation air around the gas grill housing.

???Do not install this outdoor gas grill in or on recreational vehicles or boats

???Keep outdoor gas grill area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable

vapors and liquids

??? Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Check for this each time prior to using grill.

???Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 11" water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP gas tank.

???Only use the regulator and the hose assembly supplied with your gas grill. Replacement regulators

and hose assemblies must be those specified in this manual.

???Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable propane gas dealer and visually inspected and re- qualified at each filling.

???Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or

???near this appliance.

???Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

???LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well- ventilated area and out of reach of children. Disconnected LP gas tanks must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

???When your gas grill is not in use the gas must be turned off at the LP gas tank.

???The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.

???Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect the hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks, excessive wear or other damage. If the hose appears damaged do not use the gas grill. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME for assistance.

???Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully seated over the gas valve orifices.

???Never allow children to operate your grill.

!WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

???Open Grill Lid.

???Get away from the LP gas tank.

???Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

???If odor continues or you have a fire you can not extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call near the LP gas tank because your telephone is a form of electrical device and could create a

spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help with this procedure refer to page 14, Item 4 of "If Grill Still Fails To Light", or call the Customer Service Helpline 8 AM to 5 PM PST at: 1-800-913-8999

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as "FLASH-BACK" and can cause serious damage to

your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.

Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of "FLASH-BACK", it is the most common cause.

To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", you must clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.

See Cleaning Burner Tubes and Ports on page # 15

Visually check the burner flames prior to each use. The flames should look like picture, if they do not, refer to the

cleaning burner tubes and ports, see page 15 of this manual.

To ensure a proper working unit the following proper care and maintenance is suggested.

Cleaning Cooking Grids

We suggest you wash your cooking grids in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or soft brush to clean your cooking grids.

Cleaning Heat diffusers

Periodically you should wash the heat diffusers in a soap and warm water solution. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. The heat diffusers should be dry before you reinstall them.

Cleaning Grease Tray

The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm water solution. A small amount of sand or cat litter may be placed in bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease. Check the grease tray frequently, don'tallow

excess grease to accumulate and overflow out of the grease tray.

Annual Cleaning of Grill Interior

Burning-off the grill after every use will keep it ready for your next use. However, once a year you should give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition. Follow these steps.

1.Turn all burner valves to full OFF position.

2.Turn LP gas tank valve to full OFF position.

3.Detach LP gas hose and regulator assembly from your gas grill. Inspect for any damage and replace as necessary with manufacturer replacement part number found on parts list.

4.Remove and clean heat diffusers, cooking grids and grill burners.

5.Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.

6.Brush inside and bottom of grill with a nylon brush, and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.

7.Remove the aluminum foil, then reinstall heat diffusers, and cooking grids.

8.Reconnect gas source and observe burner flame for correct operation.

Cleaning Exterior Surface

???We suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or sponge for this process. Do not use abrasives or a brush that might remove finish during the cleaning process.

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces

??? Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine

oils used in manufacturing process of stainless steel can also cause this tanning color. Use a stainless steel cleaner to polish stainless steel surfaces of your grill. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch and damage your grill.

Cleaning Burner Tubes and Burner Ports

To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" the procedure below should be followed at least once a month in late

summer or early fall when spiders are most active or when your grill has not been used for a period of time.

1.Turn all burner valves and gas tank valve to off position.

2.Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your gas grill.

3.Remove cooking grids, heat diffusers, and grease

tray from the grill.

4. Remove the screws from the underside of each

burner and lift the burners up and away from the gas valve orifice.

5.Using a bent stiff wire in the shape of a hook, air hose or a bottle brush, run it through the burner tube and inside several times to remove any debris.

6.Replace burners, see illustration below.

Step 1. Locate the burner onto the orifice.

Step 2. Secure the main burner on the back wall of fire box with 2 screws.

_.I WARNING

The location of the burner tube with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the orifice is inside the burner tube before using the gas grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve

orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion and/or fire.

Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.

1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire outer surface of each burner until free of food residue and dirt.

2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.

3. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner. After installation check to ensure that gas

valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of the burner tubes.

/_ WARNING

Spiders and insects can nest inside the burners of the grill and disrupt gas flow. This very dangerous condition could cause a fire behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe

for operation. Inspect the grill at least twice a year.

High setting: Only use this setting for fast warm-up,searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue off the grill after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.

Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify medium to low settings, including all smoking, rotisserie cooking and for cooking lean cuts such as fish.

NOTE: Temperature settings will vary with the temperature and the amount of wind outside your home.

Direct Cooking

The direct cooking method can be used with the supplied cooking grids and food placed directly over the lit grill Burners. Direct cooking requires the grill lid to be up.The method is ideal for searing and whenever you want meat, poultry or fish to have and open-flame barbecued taste. Deep frying and smoking are also best cooked in this manner because they require direct heat.

//_ WARNING

Do not line the bottom of the grill housing with aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will restrict the flow of grease into the grease tray. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion which could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Indirect Cooking

To cook indirectly, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit on the opposite side. Indirect cooking must be done with the Lid down.

Flare-ups

The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably,distinctive taste and color to food cooked cover an open flame, they should be accepted up to a point. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can result in a ruined meal.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to adjacent burner(s), the fire box heat shield must be securely inserted in place when operating the Searing burner.
