Initial Leak Test:

Before first use, and after every tank change, perform a leak test:

• Mix a solution of equal parts liquid dish soap and water.
• Ensure all burner control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
• Turn on the gas supply at the propane cylinder.
• Apply the soapy solution to all gas connections (regulator to tank, hose to manifold).
• If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off the gas, tighten connections, and retest. If the leak persists, do not use the grill and contact customer support.

Pre-Use Burn-Off:

Before cooking food for the first time, operate the grill on high heat for 15 minutes with the lid closed to burn off any manufacturing residues.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your grill.

Lighting the Burners:

1. Open Lid: Always open the grill lid before lighting the burners.
2. Turn on Gas: Ensure the propane cylinder valve is fully open.
3. Ignition:
   • Automatic Ignition: Push and turn one burner control knob to the HIGH position. Immediately press and hold the electronic igniter button until the burner lights. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the process.
   • Manual Ignition: If the automatic igniter fails, use the provided extended match holder. Place a lit match at the end of the holder, insert it through the cooking grate to the burner, then push and turn the control knob to HIGH.
4. Additional Burners: Once one burner is lit, you can light other burners by turning their respective control knobs to HIGH.
5. Adjust Heat: Adjust burner knobs to achieve desired cooking temperature.

Temperature Control:

• Use the built-in lid thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the grill.
• Adjust the burner control knobs to increase or decrease heat as needed.
• For indirect cooking, turn off one or more burners and place food over the unlit burners.

Using the Warming Rack:

The upper warming rack is ideal for keeping cooked food warm, toasting buns, or slow-cooking delicate items.

5. Maintenance and Care

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

Cleaning the Cooking Grates:

• After each use, while the grates are still warm, use a grill brush to remove food residue.
• For stubborn residue, allow the grates to cool, then wash with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Grease Management System:

• The slide-out grease tray and removable grease cup should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent grease buildup and potential fires.
• Allow the tray and cup to cool completely before handling. Wash with warm soapy water.

Exterior Cleaning:

• Wipe stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner or mild soapy water. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.

Storage:

• When not in use, store the grill in a dry, protected area.
• If storing indoors, disconnect the propane cylinder and store it outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Consider using a grill cover to protect it from the elements.
