GRILLING GUIDE – Getting Started  
Temperature  
The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill measures  
air temperature. The air temperature inside your grill will never  
be as hot as the temperature at the cooking surface.  
First Time Use  
Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put together  
properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising material from  
all grill surfaces before first use. We recommend operating your  
grill on its highest setting for 15-20 minutes prior to your first use.  
This aids in removing the oils used during manufacturing.  
Note: Since 1995, all regulators (the part that attaches to the gas  
tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a safety feature  
that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can  
inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a gas  
leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas using the  
grill control knob before you turn on the LP tank valve. If the gas  
regulator safety feature activates, the grill will only reach  
temperatures between 250°F and 300°F even with all burners on  
the high setting.  
Lava Rock / Briquettes  
This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to be  
used with flame tamers or heat distribution plates to provide  
more even heating, improve the cleaning process, and reduce  
flare-ups. The addition of after market lava rocks, charcoal, or  
briquettes of any type will cause poor combustion and increase  
the likelihood of a grease fire, and is not recommended. Using  
briquettes, lava rock, or charcoal in this grill will void your  
warranty. For extra smoke flavor, we recommend using a  
smoker box with wood chips.  
Regulator  
Coupling Nut  
If your grill is not getting hotter than 250°F to 300°F these  
steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety  
device:  
1. Open the grill lid.  
2. Turn off all knobs on the control panel in front.  
3. Turn off the tank knob.  
4. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.  
5. Wait 30 seconds.  
6. Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank.  
7. Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way. Do not put  
excessive force on the valve at the full open position to avoid  
damaging the valve.  
8. Turn on the appropriate control knob and light the grill per the  
instructions on the control panel.  
An illustration of this process is included in this Product Guide.  
See Troubleshooting section for additional information.  
Pre-Heating Your Grill  
Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated to  
provide optimum performance. Pre-heat the grill on high for 10-  
15 minutes – longer if weather conditions require. Please refer to  
the lighting instructions inside the Product Guide if you have  
questions about how to light your grill. A match-light chain and  
hole is provided for your convenience.

Rotisserie Cooking  
GRILLING GUIDE – Grilling 101  
Rotisserie cooking is best for 'round' meat, such as large roasts,  
whole poultry, and pork. It generally requires an accessory motor  
and spit rod that allows the meat to be turned at a constant  
speed. Rotisserie cooking is best done in front of a special  
rotisserie burner, or utilizing an indirect cooking burner  
arrangement. A pan can be placed underneath the meat to catch  
grease and food drippings, and helps minimize clean-up.  
Outdoor grilling is really quite simple. You'll succeed with  
burgers, dogs, or steaks usually on your very first try. With  
experience, you will learn how to work with your grill, creating  
more imaginative meals all the time. This knowledge makes up  
the art of grilling. Before you start grilling, organize your food  
according to cooking technique and required cooking time, and  
optimize the use of your grilling area.  
Direct Cooking  
Direct cooking involves grilling your meat directly over high heat.  
It is perfect for searing steaks, chops, and other smaller pieces of  
meat and vegetables that quickly make their way to the table.  
Indirect Cooking  
Indirect cooking utilizes select burners to circulate heat  
throughout the grill, without direct contact between the meat and  
the flame. The meat is placed over the burner that is 'off'. This  
method is generally used to slow cook large cuts of meat and  
poultry. A pan can be placed underneath the meat to catch  
grease and food drippings, and helps minimize clean-up.  
Food Safety  
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor  
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,  
follow these four basic steps:  
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water  
before and after handling raw meat.  
Separate: Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid  
cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when  
removing cooked foods.  
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a  
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.  
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

Wood Chips  
GRILLING GUIDE – Tips & Tricks  
For extra smoke flavor when grilling, try adding wood chips.  
Soak the chips in water for approximately 30 minutes before  
adding to a smoke box or pan. Place smoke box or pan on top of  
the cooking grate above the flame. Turn grill on high until the  
wood starts to smoke. Reduce heat to desired temperature for  
cooking, and place food on cooking grate as desired. Close lid to  
retain more smoke. Hardwood varieties that work particularly  
well with grilled foods include Alder, Apple, Cherry, Grapevines,  
Hickory, Mesquite, Oak, Rosemary and Sassafras.  
Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is  
recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking.  
Grilling can be affected by many external conditions. In cold  
weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking  
temperature, and grilling may take longer. The meat's internal  
temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times. Cold  
and thicker meats will take longer to cook.  
Internal Meat Temperatures  
Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside.  
Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached  
safe internal temperatures.  
USDA Recommended Safe Minimum

Skewers  
Pork  
Metal skewers should be flat, with long handles. Round skewers  
allow food to roll when turned, so it may not cook as evenly. Use  
metal skewers when cooking meat kabobs. Wooden skewers  
should be soaked in water for an hour before use, and are best  
used for quick cooking foods such as vegetables and fruits.

Please refer to the USDA for complete, up-to-date information.  
Our internal temperature chart is based on USDA standards for  
meat doneness. Check it out at www.isitdoneyet.gov  
Sauces  
Sauces containing sugars and fats can cause flare-ups, and your  
food may burn. In general, apply these sauces during the final  
10 minutes of cooking. Keep in mind, use of excessive sauces  
or glazes will also require extra cleaning afterwards.  
Marinades and Rubs  
To enhance the flavor of grilled foods, a liquid marinade or dry  
rub can be used prior to cooking. Meat can be either soaked or  
injected with liquid marinade up to 24 hours prior to grilling. Dry  
rubs can be applied directly to the meat immediately before  
grilling.  
Utensils  
Use tongs or a spatula to handle the food instead of a fork, and  
don't turn the food too  
often. Piercing the food  
with a fork will release  
juices that you want in  
the meat, and may  
cause flare-ups.

Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the  
grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking  
surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking  
surfaces while grill is hot.  
GRILLING GUIDE – Cleaning Your Grill  
Why Clean?  
We've all heard the saying, 'an ounce of prevention is worth a  
pound of cure.’ This is great advice when it comes to keeping  
your grill clean.  
Storing Your Grill  
Clean cooking grates.  
Store grill in dry location.  
Routine Care  
When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well  
ventilated space and out of reach of children.  
Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill  
covers offered by manufacturer.  
Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary,  
as grill fires can occur when grease and  
food debris collect in the bottom of the grill.  
After each use, remove any remaining  
food particles from the cooking grate and  
inside of the grill using a grill brush. Do  
this after the grill has cooled down, yet is  
still warm. It is much easier to clean food  
particles while warmth is still present, than  
after the food particles have completely  
cooled and hardened. This grill is not  
designed to be 'burned off' by closing the  
lid and turning the burners on High for an  
extended time. The excessive heat  
generated can cause leftover grease to  
catch fire, and can cause permanent  
damage to your grill.  
Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off,  
disconnected, and removed from grill. Never store LP cylinder  
indoors.  
When removing grill from storage, follow the 'Cleaning the  
Burner Assembly' instructions in the Use and Care section of  
the Product Guide.  
General Cleaning  
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not  
use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner  
on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.  
Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most  
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or  
glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn  
stains.  
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive  
cleaner and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.  
Critters  
Spiders like to make their homes in the venturi tubes of grills.  
These must be inspected and cleaned regularly to ensure there  
are no blockages. Refer to the Use and Care portion of this  
Product Guide for complete information.  
Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain  
conditions. This can be caused by environmental conditions  
such as chlorine or salt water, or improper  
cleaning tools such as wire or steel  
wool. It can also discolor due to heat,  
chemicals, or grease build-up. To  
maintain your grill's high quality  
appearance, wash with mild detergent  
and warm water, or use a stainless  
steel grill cleaner. Baked-on grease  
deposits may require the use of an  
abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only  
in direction of brushed finish to avoid  
damage. Do not use abrasive pad on  
areas with graphics.

INSIDE VENTURI  
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been  
known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build  
nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of  
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind  
the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage  
your grill and even cause injury.  
Correct burner-to-valve engagement  
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and  
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned  
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
