Important Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using this appliance to reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or injury. This grill is for outdoor use only. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Propane Gas Safety: Use only LP (liquid propane) gas. Ensure the gas cylinder is stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area and out of reach of children.
• Leak Testing: Always perform a leak test on gas connections before initial use and after any gas cylinder change.
• Clearance: Maintain proper clearance from combustible materials.
• Supervision: Never leave the grill unattended while in use.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the grill at all times.

Setup and Assembly

The Royal Gourmet GB8003 grill requires assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly. Follow the steps below for proper setup.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify all parts are present against the parts list (not provided in this manual, refer to your product packaging).
2. Initial Assembly Tip: When assembling, it is advisable to keep bolts slightly loose until all components are aligned and in place. This can prevent difficulties with misaligned holes. Once all parts are correctly positioned, tighten all bolts securely.
3. Attaching Side Tables: The grill features foldable side tables. Attach them according to the assembly instructions provided with your product. These tables offer additional workspace and can be folded down for compact storage.
4. Installing Caster Wheels: Securely attach the four lockable caster wheels to the grill base. Ensure they are locked when the grill is in a stationary position for stability.
5. Connecting Propane Tank: Connect your propane gas cylinder to the grill's gas supporting system. Ensure all connections are tight and perform a leak test before proceeding.
6. Wind Deflector: The folding wind deflector should be positioned to provide defense against wind and oil splashes during operation.

Operating Instructions

Your Royal Gourmet GB8003 grill features dual gas supporting systems, allowing for individually controlled grilling zones.

1. Pre-Operation Check: Ensure the grill is on a level, stable surface and the caster wheels are locked. Confirm the propane tank is securely connected and there are no gas leaks.
2. Lighting the Burners:
   • Open the grill lid.
   • Turn on the gas supply at the propane tank.
   • Push and turn a control knob to the "HIGH" position.
   • Press the corresponding electronic ignition button. You should hear a clicking sound and see the burner ignite.
   • If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the process.
   • Repeat for additional burners as needed.
3. Temperature Control: Adjust the control knobs to achieve the desired cooking temperature. The eight stainless steel burners provide 104,000 BTU total cooking power, allowing for precise heat management across the 947 sq. in. porcelain-enameled steel wire cooking grates. Note that these burners can generate significant heat, so lower settings may be sufficient for many items.
4. Cooking: Place food on the cooking grates. Monitor cooking progress and adjust heat as necessary.
5. Shutting Down: When finished cooking, turn all burner control knobs to the "OFF" position. Turn off the gas supply at the propane tank.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your grill.

• Cleaning Cooking Grates: After each use, allow the grates to cool slightly, then clean them with a grill brush. For deeper cleaning, the porcelain-enameled steel wire grates can be washed with warm soapy water.
• Grease Management Systems: The grill is equipped with dual grease management systems, including removable grease trays and a catch cup. Regularly remove and clean these components to prevent grease buildup and potential flare-ups. Some users find placing heavy-duty foil over the grill rack helps prevent grease from reaching the drip pan directly, extending its life.
• Flavorizer Plates/Flame Tamers: The stainless steel flame tamers distribute heat evenly. These should be cleaned periodically. Some users wash them in a dishwasher to keep them clean and extend their life. Inspect the small tabs that hold these plates in place for wear.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during extended periods or inclement weather, cover the grill with a suitable grill cover to protect it from the elements. Ensure the side shelves are folded down for proper cover fit.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your grill.

• Burner Not Lighting:
  • Check if the propane tank is open and has sufficient gas.
  • Ensure gas connections are secure and there are no leaks.
  • Verify the electronic ignition system is functioning (you should hear a click). If not, check the battery if applicable (refer to product manual for battery location).
  • Clean burner ports if they are clogged.
• Uneven Heating:
  • Ensure flame tamers are correctly positioned and clean.
  • Clean burner ports to ensure even gas flow.
• Grease Leaking: If grease leaks from unexpected areas, particularly from the rear leg, check if the grill is perfectly level. Adjust the grill's position or use shims under the wheels if necessary to ensure proper drainage into the grease management system.
• Grill Instability/Loose Screws: If the grill feels unstable or screws loosen after moving, regularly check and tighten all assembly screws, especially if the grill is frequently relocated.
