• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and LP cylinder off.

• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.

• Remove cooking grates and flame tamers. Light burners, rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LO position than seen on HI. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.

If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with The valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the burner and could accidently ignite with risk of injury.

If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.

• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator as specified in the parts list of this Use & Care Guide.

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. 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.

attempts of match lighting, there is a problem with the gas supply. Turn off the gas at the burner and cylinder. DO NOT attempt to operate the grill

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

To add wood chips before cooking, simply fill the wood chip 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 while the smoker is in operation.

the wood chips in a separate bowl of water for at least 20 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated aluminum foil.

Adding wood chips after the first hour is typically not necessary unless extra smoke flavoring is desired.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in which spiders tend to build nests.

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the venturi’s.

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.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned

•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 once available.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.

• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking temperature.

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 and poultry. Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry 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. For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 (In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00 am

• reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145° F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.

• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
