Important Safety Instructions
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances is minimized because this
is an outdoor unit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your appliance, follow basic safety • Do not try lighting this appliance without
precautions, including the following:
reading the lighting instructions in this manual.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
• Read this manual carefully and completely
before using your cooking center to reduce
the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.
Please retain this manual for future reference.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooking center unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not
intended to be installed in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.
• Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or
around the cooking center at any time. When
in use, portions of the cooking center get hot
enough to cause severe burns.
• Have the installer show you where the gas
shut-off valve is located so that you know
where to shut off the gas to the cooking center.
• Do not store items of interest to children
around or below the cooking center, in the
cart or built-in enclosure.
• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if
the connections are not completely tight.
• Never allow children to crawl inside a cart
or enclosure.
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and for
your protection it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame
to locate a leak.
• Never let clothing, pot holders or other
flammable materials come in contact with or
too close to any grate, burner or hot surface
until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a burner by
covering the pan completely with a well-fitting
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• This cooking center is for outdoor use only.
Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58,
Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking
gas appliances.
• Check your local building codes for the
proper method of installation. In the absence
of local codes, this unit should be installed in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National
Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest
Edition.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.

Important Safety Instructions
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
• When using the range-top burners, always use
flat-bottomed pans which are large enough to
cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it
heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid
ignition of clothing. Position handles inward
away from open edges of the unit to avoid
burns associated with spillovers. Hold the
handle of the pan with a pot holder when
turning or stirring food.
as described in this manual.
• Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where the cooking
center is being used.
• Do not leave the cooking center unattended
while cooking.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel.
Loose fitting garments or sleeves should
never be worn while using this appliance.
Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable
and should not be worn while cooking.
• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote
flare-ups.
• Never grill without the drip pan in place and
pushed all the way to the back of the grill.
Without it, hot grease could leak downward
and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for grill use. Unsuitable
types of materials may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only on low or
medium heat settings according to the
manufacturer’s directions.
• Never rotisserie cook without the basting
pan in place and pushed all the way to the
back of the grill. Without it, hot grease
could leak downward and produce a fire
or explosion hazard.
• Do not heat unopened food containers as a
build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst.
• For proper lighting and performance of the
burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.
• Use a pot holder when opening the roll top
lid. Open the lid slowly to allow heat and
steam to escape.
• Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam
burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners
produce noxious fumes or can ignite if
applied to a hot surface.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Do not
let pot holders touch hot portions of the
grill rack or burner grates.
• Do not operate the cooking center under
unprotected combustible construction.
Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not
use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways
or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for
outdoor use only.
• Never lean over an open grill.
• Pay close attention when lighting a burner.
Be certain you are rotating the igniter
labeled for the burner you intend to use.
• Do not locate the cooking center where
the grill exhaust is directed at combustible
materials, windows (open or closed),
doorways, etc. The grill vents combustion
gases and smoke to the back of the appliance.
• When using the grill, do not touch the grill
rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding
areas as these areas become extremely hot
and could cause burns. Keep children away!
• Keep the area surrounding the cooking center
free from combustible materials, trash, or
combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline
or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the drip pans.
Clean the drip pans often. (If included)
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—
meat to at least an INTERNAL 160°F and
• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip
pans or grill racks. This can severely upset
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in
the control area. The result of this can be
melted knobs or rotary igniters.
poultry to at least an INTERNAL 180°F
Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.

• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. See the
requirements in the installation instructions.
• Never put more than one LP cylinder below
a cart-mounted cooking center. Never modify
the cart to house a larger cylinder or more
than one cylinder at a time. Do not store
spare tanks in a built-in enclosure.
• The 24″ professional grill is designed for
single rows of ceramic briquettes to be
placed in the stainless steel radiant trays
above the grill burners. To avoid blocking
off the area for the grill burners to vent, do
not place the ceramic briquettes over the
holes in the stainless steel radiant trays.
Placing the ceramic briquettes over the
holes in the stainless steel radiant trays can
damage ignition components and knobs
and void the warranty.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the LP
cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

The Grill
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center
The grill is supplied with natural lava rock
(on some models). Because of the porosity of
natural lava rock, it is superior in its ability to
capture heat as it rises from the grill burners.
It also possesses the thermal mass needed for
professional results. Flare-ups are controlled
because the lava radiant keeps grease from
getting to the flames and igniting.
Place lava rocks in a single layer on top of the
stainless steel radiant tray located under the
grill rack. It is important to distribute the rocks
evenly over the tray without leaving any large
gaps. Uneven distribution of the rocks and air
gaps can cause localized “hot” and “cold” spots
which could result in unsatisfactory cooking
performance.

back and the large tray is to be placed in the
front. (See the Rotisserie section for placement
when rotisserie cooking.)
The ceramic briquettes are in two separate
stainless steel trays located under the grill
Make sure the briquettes are in place in the trays
so that they do not cover the holes in the trays.
WARNING: IMPORTANT!
Before
lighting
the grill
Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to
turning the gas on. If there is evidence of cuts, to the LP tank and check the hose and
wear or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to

hose assembly must be the type specified by
the manufacturer.
If the grill uses LP gas, connect the regulator
regulator connections for leaks with a soap
and water solution before operating the grill.
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas
supply valve and check the connections for gas
leaks before each use.
For LP use, the pressure regulator and hose
assembly supplied with the unit must be used.
Turn all knobs to OFF then turn on the gas

Grilling requires high heat for searing and
proper browning. Most foods are cooked at
the HI heat setting for the entire cooking
time. However, when grilling large pieces of
meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn
the heat to a lower setting after the initial
browning. This cooks the food through
without burning the outside.

Do not leave the grill unattended while
cooking.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in
the juices. The longer you preheat the grill,
the faster the meat browns and the darker the
grill marks will be.
Grilling
hints
• When turning the meat over, always use a
spatula as it will not puncture the meat
allowing the juices to run out. This will help
to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only
once, as juices are lost when the meat is
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat
after it has been cooked; these procedures
have a tendency to dry the meat out.
• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,
“Rare beef is popular, but you should know
that cooking it to only 140°F. means some
food poisoning organisms may survive.”
(Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen
Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
• When defrosting meats it is recommended
that it be done overnight in the refrigerator
as opposed to a microwave. This in general
yields a juicier cut of meat.
• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or
poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from
curling while they are being cooked, slit the
fat around the edges at about 2-inch
intervals. To test for doneness, make a small
cut in the center of the meat.
• Always ensure that the meat is thoroughly
cooked by using a meat thermometer.
• The doneness of meat is affected by the
thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook
a thin piece of meat to a rare doneness. A
steak should be at least 1-inch thick to have it
turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time is
affected by the temperature of the meat
when you start to cook it, the size and shape
of the cut and the kind of meat you are
cooking. The degree of doneness desired
also affects the time.

Range-Top Burners
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center
Some cooking centers are equipped with heavy
cast iron burners. Each is rated at 15,000 BTU
and has a rotary spark igniter for efficient lighting.
Range-top
burners
(on some models)
The burner grates are porcelain enamel over
cast iron for durability.
Each cooking center comes with a stainless steel
cover which doubles as a work surface. When
using the grill burners with the work surface in
place, be careful as heat can conduct from the
grill section and cause the work surface to heat up.
Never attempt to light the range-top burners
with the work surface in place.
Cover the range-top burners with the stainless
steel cover when not in use.
First remove the burner cover, by lifting up and
to the side, or any cooking utensils from the
burner grate.

Flame
height
The correct height of the flame depends on the
size and material of the pan being used, the
food being cooked and how much liquid is in
the pan.
• The flame should never extend beyond the
bottom of the pan.
• Pans that conduct heat slowly (such as glass-
ceramic) should be used with low or medium
flame unless you are cooking with a large
amount of liquid.
Note: The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.

The Rotisserie System
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center
The rotisserie system is designed to cook items
from the back of the grill using infrared heat.
The rotisserie burner (on some models) is an
infrared type which provides intense searing
radiant heat. This intense heat is magnificent
for searing in the natural juices and nutrients
found in quality cuts of meat.
Rotisserie
system
The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal
gears and is capable of turning up to a 12, 15
or 20 lb. cut of meat or poultry, depending on
the model. The actual capacity is limited by
clearance and motor torque.
(on some models)
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach
cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.
The orange/red glow will even out in about
5 minutes.

The Smoker System
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

For the 27″ models, the smoke flavor tray is
located directly beneath the rotisserie burner.
It is a stainless steel tray which is designed to
hold wood chips or herbs for adding a smoke
flavor to foods.
Rotisserie
burner
The smoke
flavor tray
(on some models)
For the 36″ and 48″ models, the smoke flavor
tray is located above a 5,000 BTU burner. The
burner is controlled by a precision brass valve
which is capable of being turned down to very
low heat levels. The smoker system may be used
alone for low temperature roasting and smoking
or in conjunction with any combination of
other burners.
Smoke flavor tray
Because of the location of the smoke flavor tray on 27″ models,
the rotisserie burner acts as the burner for the smoke flavor tray.
Smoke flavor tray (36″ and 48″ models)
The tray may also be filled with water to
produce steam. Whether smoking or steaming,
the lid should remain closed as much as
possible to maximize the effect.
Wood chips
There are many wood chips available for
purchase and selection is based on personal
taste. The most common wood chips used are
mesquite or hickory. Mesquite has a sweeter
taste and is commonly used with poultry and
seafood. Hickory is best suited for red meats.
Use of oak, cherry, maple, aspen or apple is
also common while aromatic herbs like sage,
bay leaves, thyme or basil may also be of use.
If the wood chips do flame up, add a small
amount of water to extinguish the flame. This
should be done carefully through the top of
the grill area, or by pulling the tray out slightly.
To avoid steam burns, use caution when
adding water to a hot tray. Never completely
remove a hot tray.
During extended roasting periods, it is normal
to add fresh wood chips to the tray several times.
Always soak the chips in water prior to putting
them into the tray. In the beginning you may
want to use the HI position to start the chips
smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level
to prevent them from drying out and flaming.
To minimize the possibility of burns, do not
remove the smoker tray when hot.

Open the lid and remove the smoker tray.
Locate the burner visually by looking through
the cut-out in the valve panel. Push and turn
the control knob to the LITE position and
immediately turn the smoker rotary ignitor
knob (for 36″ or 48″ cooking centers) or the

seconds pass. If the burner doesn’t ignite, wait
5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate,
then try again.
On 36″ and 48″ cooking centers
If the burner will not light after several
attempts, the burner can be match lit. On some
models, a match stick extension rod is provided
inside the grill drip pan. Insert an UNLIT
match stick securely into the clip end of the
extension rod. To match light the smoker tray
burner, first slide the tray out to its fully
extended position. Keep your face as far away
from the grill as possible, light the match stick
and, holding the end of the rod, pass the flame
of the lit match through the grill rack, past the
radiant tray directly in front of a burner port.
Push and turn the control knob to the LITE
position. If the burner does not light after 4
seconds, turn the knob to OFF. Wait 5 minutes,
for any accumulated gas to dissipate, before
trying to light the burner again. If the burner

Problem Solver in the back of this manual.
On 27″ cooking centers
Once lit, fill the smoker tray and replace.
When using the smoker system in conjunction
with the optional infrared rotisserie burner,
you’ll find it helpful to use the low setting of
the smoker burner to minimize the heat rising
up to the rotisserie basting pan. Staggering the
meat away from the smoker burner also helps.

Grill
components
Do not clean any of the grill components in a
self-cleaning oven or in a dishwasher.
Grill components should be cleaned by hand
using warm sudsy water and a Scotch Brite pad.
A brass bristle grill brush may also be used.
®
Do not use a steel wool pad to clean any of the
grill components.

immediately after cooking is completed and
after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque
mitt to protect your hand from the heat and
steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in
tap water and scrub the hot grill. Drip the
brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam,
created as water contacts the hot grill, assists
the cleaning process by softening any food
particles. The food particles will fall onto the
hot lava rocks or ceramic briquettes and burn
or fall into the drip tray (if included).
If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning,
cleaning will be more difficult.
Drip trays
(if included)
The full width drip trays will collect grease from
the grill section, as well as boilovers and spills
from the range-top burners (on some models).
Allow the pan and its contents to cool before
attempting to clean. Clean the grease from the
pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
Lava rocks
(on some models)
It is not necessary to remove the lava rocks for
cleaning. They burn themselves clean during
the next cooking operation. Periodically the
rocks need to be turned over for a thorough
cleaning. How often you use the grill and the
amount and type of food cooked will determine
when it is necessary to turn the lava rocks.
If grease can be seen on the top of the rocks,
or if you get a lot of flare-ups during cooking,
the rocks need to be turned over and heated
on HIGH for about 30 minutes, longer for
heavy soil.
Ceramic
briquettes
(on some models)
The layer of ceramic briquettes, under the grill
rack(s), will last for many years with proper care.
Chipping or cracking of the briquettes
may occur as they may get brittle with age,
depending on the frequency of use. This is
normal and does not affect the performance.
Burned-on food particles and ash can be
emptied off the stainless steel radiant trays
when cool by shaking over a waste receptacle.
Do not replace the stainless steel radiant trays
with alternates. Should the ceramic briquettes
ever need to be replaced, purchase them
locally, wherever outdoor cooking centers
are sold.
After emptying the ash from the trays, replace
them with the small tray in the back and the
large tray in the front. Make sure the briquettes
do not cover the holes in the tray.

conditions occur:
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or
orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.
The presence of spiders, spider webs or other
insects can cause the gas to flow from the
front of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, damaging the cooking
center and making it unsafe for use.
