4. Insert Drip Tray: Slide the removable drip tray into its slot beneath the burner.
5. Place Grill Plate: Position the cast iron grill plate on top of the flame tamer, ensuring it sits securely.
6. Connect Propane Tank:
   • Ensure the grill's control knob is in the "OFF" position.

   • Connect the other end of the regulator hose to your propane tank.
7. Perform Leak Test:
   • Mix a solution of equal parts liquid dish soap and water.
   • Ensure the grill's control knob is "OFF".
   • Open the propane tank valve slowly.
   • Apply the soap solution to all gas connections (regulator to tank, hose to grill).
   • If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Immediately close the propane tank valve and tighten the connection. Repeat the test. If bubbles persist, do not use the grill and contact customer support.
   • After confirming no leaks, close the propane tank valve and wipe off any soap solution.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your Everdure CUBE Proflame 360 grill.

5.1. Lighting the Grill

1. Ensure the grill's control knob is in the "OFF" position.
2. Open the propane tank valve slowly and completely.
3. Push in and slowly turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the "HIGH" position. The igniter should click, and the burner should light.
4. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF", close the propane tank valve, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and then repeat the lighting procedure.
5. Once lit, close the roasting hood to preheat the grill.

5.2. Preheating

Preheat the grill on "HIGH" with the hood closed for 5-10 minutes. The built-in thermometer on the hood will indicate the internal temperature. Preheating ensures the cast iron grate reaches optimal temperature for searing and even cooking.

5.3. Grilling

• Adjust the control knob to achieve your desired cooking temperature. The thermometer on the hood provides a guide.
• For direct grilling (searing steaks, burgers, vegetables), cook with the hood open or closed, depending on desired char and internal temperature.
• For roasting (larger cuts of meat, poultry), cook with the hood closed to create an oven-like environment. Use the top vent on the hood to help regulate airflow and temperature.
• Always use grilling utensils with long, heat-resistant handles.

2. Close the valve on the propane tank.
3. Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning or moving.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your grill and ensure optimal performance.

6.1. After Each Use

• Grill Grate: Once the grill has cooled, scrape off any food residue from the cast iron grate using a grill brush. For stubborn residue, preheat the grill for a few minutes, then scrape.
• Drip Tray: Remove and empty the drip tray. Wash with warm, soapy water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.

6.2. Periodic Cleaning

• Firebox and Hood: Wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces of the firebox and hood with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Burner: Periodically inspect the burner ports for blockages (e.g., spider webs, food debris). Use a wire brush or a stiff wire to clear any obstructions. Ensure the burner is dry before reinstallation.
• Exterior Surfaces: Clean the exterior with a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for painted and stainless steel surfaces.

6.3. Storage

When not in use, especially for extended periods, store the grill in a dry, sheltered location. Ensure the propane tank is disconnected and stored separately outdoors. Use the included grill cover to protect the grill from elements.
