CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:  
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas 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 or  
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. When grease fires occur close the lid and turn off the burner  
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. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.  
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  
WARNING  
DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (filled or empty) under or near the grill.  
Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.  
DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.

WARNING  
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:  
Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces.  
Make sure that cylinder valve is shut off. After moving the grill check that all gas connections  
are free of leaks. Check the venturi tubes to ensure they are properly connected to the valves  
and the orifices are inside the venturi tube.  
Follow the instructions listed below.  
BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:  
Ensure that the fuel supply tank valve is fully closed.  
Clean all surfaces.  
Lightly coat the burner with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.  
If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.

BURNER AND VENTURI  
Although your burner is constructed of cast iron, it will rust as a result of the extreme heat and acids  
from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burner for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corro-  
sion damage. If found, replace the burner.  
Venturi tube can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked venturi  
tubes can prevent gas flow to the burner and could possibly result in a venturi fire. To clean the  
venturi, remove the ash guard/grease cup holder plate from between the legs. Then, remove the three  
retaining bolts from the bottom of the burner and remove the burner from the grill. Use a pipe cleaner  
or a small wire and insert into the opening of the venturi. Remove any obstructions that may exist.  
Replace the burner, ash guard/grease cup holder plate and follow the Gas Leak Testingsection of  
this manual.  
COOKING GRILLS  
Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used  
to remove residue from the chrome plated cooking surface. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the  
chrome plated cooking grill. Steel can cause the chrome plating to chip or crack. DO NOT use a  
commercial oven cleaner.  
HEAT SHIELD  
Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat shield to prevent excess grease build-up.  
When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grill. Inspect the heat shield and replace if broken or  
damaged. Do not allow heat shield to become damaged to the extent that it may fall through onto the  
burner. Replace the heat shield and cooking grill and light the burner. Operate the grill on "HIGH" for 10  
minutes to remove the excess grease.

CHICKEN AND TURKEY RACKS  
These chromed steel racks hold chicken, cornish hen, duck or

as from the outside. This speeds up cooking time, seals in flavor-  
ful juices and promotes even browning of skin. Its a low fat way  
to cook poultry because excess fat drips off the meat. When oven  
roasting, place poultry on rack in a shallow pan of water to steam  
baste to tender perfection. When grilling or smoking, simply place  
poultry on rack atop the grill. Makes carving easier, too.
