OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:

• In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surfaces of your grill.
• Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "Hi" to burn off these residual oils.

PREHEATING THE GRILL:

Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the main burner flame adjustment to the "Hi" position for 10 to 15 minutes.

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs turn off the main burners until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.

WARNING

• DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.
• DO NOT move grill when in use.
• DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.
• Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:

• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
• Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
• Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup.

INDIRECT COOKING:

Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the other (unlit) side of the grill.

THE INTERIOR LIGHT:

• The interior light provides outdoor lighting when operating grill at night.
• The light can be operated from the push button light switch located on the front control panel.

Note: When replacing bulb, unscrew lens and pull old bulb straight out of the bulb holder. Make certain that "legs" on new bulb are straight. Insert "legs" into the two holes in the bulb holder. Gently push bulb straight in until fully seated and centered. Replace lens back on light. When replacing bulbs, never exceed 25 watt bulbs. The preferred bulb is a standard 20-25 watt quartz bulb available at most hardware stores. [Illustration: Diagram showing how to replace the interior light bulb.]

THE SIDE BURNER:

• The side burner can be used to prepare side dishes such as beans, potatoes, corn, or to warm sauces.
• The burner valve can be adjusted from high to low depending upon your cooking demands.

WARNING

• When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes:
  In the US: The National Electrical Code - ANSI-NFPA No. 70 - Latest Edition
  In Canada: the Canadian Electrical Code - CSA C22.1
• The Rotisserie is equipped with a three pronged plug for your protection against electrical shock. This plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3 prong receptacle. Never cut or remove the grounding plug. Any extension cord must also have a 3 prong receptacle.
• All electrical supply cords should be kept away from water and any hot surfaces of the grill.
• Read instructions on lighting your grill to light the side burner.
• Never close the side burner cover when the burner is lit.
• Use a 10" diameter pot or smaller that does NOT have an extended handle when cooking on the side burner. Center pot over burner.
• Use caution to avoid bumping grill, side burner or pot to prevent pot from spilling contents possibly leading to severe burns.
• DO NOT use side burner to deep fry food in oil to avoid dangers associated with oil igniting creating a very dangerous situation.

USING THE SMOKER

In manufacturing and preserving the components of your smoker, oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surfaces of your smoker.

Before cooking on your smoker for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "Hi" to burn off these residual oils.

Never apply paint to the interior surface of your smoker. Paint toxins may contaminate your food. However, if paint becomes necessary after use, see the section in this manual concerning After Use Safety and Maintenance.

ADDING WATER

Place the wood chip/water pan into the rack at the bottom of the smoker. To add water before cooking, simply fill the wood chip/water pan with water up to 1/2" (1.25 cm) below the rim. To add water while the smoker is hot, DO NOT pull the wood chip/water pan pan out beyond the rack.

Cooking Tip: To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean watering can with a long spout.

ADDING WOOD CHIPS

To add wood chips before cooking, simply fill the wood chip/water pan with your choice of flavoring hardwood chips. The amount and type of wood you use is entirely up to you. One full pan is typically enough for several hours of smoking. Once the pan is filled, set the pan in the smoker and cover with lid.

To add wood chips while cooking, we recommend using tongs or long handled pliers to remove the pan lid and to place the pieces into the wood chip pan without removing the pan. It is not recommended to remove the wood chip/water pan while the smoker is in operation.

CAUTION: The wood chip/water pan and lid get very hot. Avoid handling them while in use.
Always wear protective oven mitts when handling hot components. [Illustration: A diagram of the wood chip/water pan with water and wood chips.]

Cooking Tips - Flavoring wood:

• Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip box.
• Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite.
• Most fruit or nut tree woods produce excellent smoke flavoring.
• Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood. These usually produce unpleasant flavoring.
• Let your taste be your guide - experiment with different types and quantities of wood chunks, chips, or sticks. You can even mix woods.
• To produce more smoke and to prevent fast burning, pre-soak the wood chips in a separate bowl of water for at least 20 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated aluminum foil.
• Most smoke flavoring occurs within the first hour of cooking. Adding wood chips after the first hour is typically not necessary unless extra smoke flavoring is desired.

GRILL COOKING TIPS

CLEANING

• Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot water prior to handling food and after handling raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood.
• When using a platter to carry raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood to the grill, make sure to wash the platter thoroughly with soap and hot water before placing cooked foods back on the platter, or use different platters for raw and cooked foods.
• Never use the same utensils when handling raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood unless you wash the utensils thoroughly with soap and hot water.
• Never re-use marinade from raw meat or uncooked poultry on foods that have been cooked and are ready to be served.

TEMPERATURE CHART

WARNING: To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be cooked to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table below.

• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.
• Wash cooking grills and heat diffusers with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
• Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.
• The stainless steel exterior surface of your grill can be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform all Cleaning and Maintenance points in this list at least twice a year or after extended periods of storage.

• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
• Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Lighting Procedures"). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.

CAUTION! Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.

Remove the cooking grills, heat diffusers and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.

Protect all Electrical Equipment (Lights, Electrical Cord.), Electrical Cord and Plug from water before cleaning the appliance or grill. Do not immerse the electrical Equipment, Electrical Cord or Plug in water or other liquid.

Do not use the electrical appliances for other than intended use.

Unplug the electrical cord from electrical outlets when not in use. If storing your grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.

BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE

Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they may corrode as a result of the extreme heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.

• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Burner tubes can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
2. Remove cooking grills and heat diffusers.
3. Remove M5 bolt and M5 nut from each burner "foot".
4. Carefully lift each crossover channel and up and away from burners.
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
6. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook to run through each burner tube and flame port several times.
7. Note: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 7.
8. Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
9. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
10. Check burner for damage, if any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
11. IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.
12. Carefully align crossover channels between burners and orient burners CORRECTLY by aligning screw hole in burner to the left as shown.
13. Replace M6 bolt and M6 nut to each burner and crossover channel.
14. Note: Follow the "Gas Leak Testing" section of this manual. Relight burners to verify proper operation.

LIMPIEZA Y MANTENIMIENTO:

Para el asado a la parrilla seguro y el funcionamiento máximo de su parrilla, realice todos los puntos de la limpieza y del mantenimiento en esta lista por lo menos dos veces al año o después de períodos de almacenaje extendidos.

• Mantenga el artefacto alejado de materiales combustibles, gasolina u otros vapores o líquidos inflamables.
• Mantenga los orificios de ventilación del gabinete del cilindro sin residuos.
• Observe las llamas de las hornillas para verificar que estén funcionando bien (consulte el dibujo en "Instrucciones de Encendio"). Las arañas y otros insectos pueden formar nidos en la hornilla y bloquear el paso del gas.
• Asegúrese de apretar toda la tornillería (tuercas, pernos, tornillos, etc.) por lo menos dos veces por año.

PRECAUCIÓN: Algunas partes pueden tener bordes afilados. Use guantes de protección si es necesario.

Retire las rejillas para cocinar, los difusores de calor y las hornillas del interior de la parrilla. Utilice un cepillo con agua caliente y detergente para quitar el exceso de residuos. NUNCA use un limpiahornos comercial. Enjuague bien con agua. Seque con una toalla y reinstale todos los componentes en la forma descrita en las instrucciones de armado.

No utilice el electrodoméstico para otro uso distinto al que fue diseñado.

Desenchufe el cable eléctrico del tomacorriente cuando no se use el producto. Si guardara su parrilla en el exterior, cúbrala con una cubierta para parrillas para lograr una mayor protección climática.

INSTALACIÓN/MANTENIMIENTO DE LAS HORNILLAS

Si bien las hornillas están fabricadas de acero Inoxidable, pueden oxidarse debido al calor extremo y a los ácidos de los alimentos. Inspeccione regularmente las hornillas para ver si tienen agujeros anormales y otras señales de daños por corrosión. Si detecta daños, reemplace la hornilla.

• NO obstruya el flujo del aire de combustión y ventilación.
• Las arañas u otros insectos pueden hacer nidos y bloquear los tubos de las hornillas. Los tubos bloqueados impiden que fluya gas a las hornillas y puede producirse un incendio en el tubo o debajo de la parrilla. Siga las instrucciones a continuación para limpiar el tubo y/o reemplazar partes de la hornilla, o si tiene dificultad para encender la parrilla.

1. Apague el gas en las perillas de control y en la válvula del tanque del cilindro de propano líquido.
2. Retire las rejillas para cocinar y los difusores de calor.

REJILLAS PARA COCINAR

• Límpielas con agua y detergente de jabón suave. Se puede usar un cepillo con cerdas de latón o una esponja de limpieza de nilón para quitar los residuos de las superficies de acero inoxidable. No use cerdas de acero para limpiar las parrillas. El acero puede picar o agrietar el acabado. NO use un limpiahornos comercial.

DIFUSORES DE CALOR

Puede ser necesario inspeccionar y limpiar periódicamente la placa de distribución de calor para evitar la acumulación excesiva de grasa. Retire la rejilla para cocinar cuando la parrilla esté fría. Inspeccione los difusores de calor y reemplácelas si están rotas o dañadas. No permita que los difusores de calor se dañen hasta el punto que puedan caerse sobre las hornillas. Reemplace los difusores de calor y las rejillas para cocinar y encienda las hornillas. Haga funcionar la parilla en "Hi" (llama fuerte) durante 10 minutos para quitar el exceso de grasa.

ANTES DE GUARDAR LA PARRILLA:

• Verifique que la válvula del cilindro esté bien cerrada.
• Limpie todas las superficies.
• Aplique una capa ligera de aceite para cocinar a las hornillas para evitar la oxidación excesiva.
• Si va a guardar la parrilla en un área interior, desconecte el tanque de propano líquido y déjelo AFUERA.
• Coloque una tapa de protección sobre el tanque de propano líquido y guarde el tanque afuera en un área bien ventilada y fuera de la luz directa del sol.
• Limpie la hornilla antes de usar después del almacenaje, al comienzo de la temporada de uso de la parrilla o si no usa la parrilla por un mes. Las arañas y otros insectos pueden formar nidos en los tubos de las hornillas (especialmente durante los meses de frío). Estos nidos pueden producir llamaradas en los tubos de las hornillas o debajo de la parrilla.
• Si está guardando la parrilla afuera, cúbrala con la cubierta para protegerla del tiempo.

TRANSPORTE Y ALMACENAJE:

• Nunca mueva una parrilla cuando está caliente o con objetos sobre las superficies de cocción.
• Asegúrese de que la válvula del cilindro esté cerrada. Después de mover la parrilla, verifique que no haya fugas en ninguna de las conexiones de gas. Consulte las instrucciones para las Pruebas de detección de fugas.
• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (filled or empty) under or near the grill.
• Nunca guarde líquidos inflamables o latas de aerosol debajo o cerca de la parrilla.
• DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.
• Si el artefacto a gas para cocinar al aire libre no está en uso, se debe apagar el gas en el cilindro de suministro.
• Se permite guardar un artefacto a gas para cocinar al aire libre en un área interior sólo si el cilindro se desconecta y se retira del artefacto.
• Los cilindros deben guardarse afuera, fuera del alcance de los niños y no en un área interior, garaje u otra área cerrada.
• Podría haber nidos de arañas u otros residuos bloqueando la hornilla cuando saque la parrilla del almacenaje. Consulte "Instalación/Mantenimiento de las Hornillas" en la sección de Cuidado y mantenimiento apropiados.
