- Ensure all control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
- Connect the regulator to the propane tank and turn on the propane tank valve.
- Push down and turn a control knob to the "HI" position while simultaneously pressing the ignitor button. You should hear a click and see the burner ignite.
- If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes, and then repeat the lighting procedure.

Charcoal Grill Operation
The charcoal side allows for traditional charcoal grilling. The height-adjustable charcoal pan provides control over the heat intensity reaching your food.
Using the Charcoal Pan:
- Open the charcoal grill lid.
- Place charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal onto the charcoal pan.
- Ignite the charcoal using appropriate methods (e.g., chimney starter, lighter fluid).
- Once the charcoal is ready, use the crank handle on the front panel to adjust the height of the charcoal pan. Raising the pan increases heat, lowering it reduces heat.
- Utilize the air vents to further regulate airflow and temperature within the charcoal firebox.

Both the gas and charcoal sides are equipped with porcelain-coated cast iron cooking grates and stainless-steel warming racks. The total cooking area is 592 square inches on the main grates and 169 square inches on the warming racks.

Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your grill and ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning Cooking Grates: After each use, once the grates have cooled, brush off any food residue with a grill brush. For deeper cleaning, wash with warm soapy water.
- Ash Pan Cleaning: The full-size ash pan located beneath the charcoal firebox can be easily drawn out for convenient ash disposal. Ensure the grill is completely cool before removing and cleaning the ash pan.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stainless steel parts, use a stainless steel cleaner to maintain shine.
- Grill Cover: Use the included heavy-duty fabric grill cover to protect your grill from weather elements when not in use.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your grill, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Gas Burners Not Lighting: Check if the propane tank is open and has sufficient fuel. Ensure all gas connections are secure. Verify that the ignitor is sparking by listening for a click and observing for a spark. Clean any clogged burner ports.
- Uneven Heat: For gas burners, ensure burner tubes are clean and free of debris. For charcoal, ensure charcoal is evenly distributed and air vents are properly adjusted.
- Low Flame: This may indicate a low propane level or a tripped safety device in the regulator. Turn off the grill and propane tank, disconnect the regulator, wait 5 minutes, then reconnect and slowly open the propane tank valve.
