SERVICE SAFETY

• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect propane cylinder and grill propane connections for damage before attaching.
• During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks using soapy water. Never use a flame. Bubbles indicate a leak. Check that the connection is not cross-threaded and that it is tight. Perform another leak check. If there is still a leak, remove the cylinder and contact Jarden Consumer Solutions for service or repairs.

Portable L.P. (Propane) Gas Barbecue Cylinders
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane) is highly flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see the section titled “LEAK CHECK”).

Operating INSTRUCTIONS

To light the grill:
Refer to the Lighting instructions in this owner’s manual and printed on the control panel of your grill. Never light the grill without first folding out the side tables.

To preheat the grill:
Light the grill according to the lighting instructions in this owner’s manual. Close the lid and turn the burner control knob to Start/Hi. Preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes (depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind). Once the grill is preheated, set the burner control knob to the setting specified in the recipe.

Note: Wind and weather may require adjustment of the burner control knob to obtain the correct cooking temperature. If the burner goes out during cooking, open the lid, turn off the burner, and wait five minutes before relighting.

Drippings and grease:
Excess drippings and grease will collect in the disposable drip pan. (Located on the underside of the grill). Use a new pan before each use and dispose of used pans properly.

Grill Performance:
The burners are located toward the back of the grill. For indirect heat to keep food warm or cook slower, move food toward the front of the grill.

Check for gas leaks

• WARNINGS
  You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
• Note: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have been flame tested.
  As a safety precaution check all fittings for leaks before using your Grill. Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.
• Perform these leak checks even though your grill has been pre-assembled.
• Do not ignite burner while checking for leaks.

Check connections

1. Regulator to propane cylinder connection.
   • WARNING: If there is a leak at connection, remove propane cylinder. Do not operate grill. Use a different propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after retightening the propane cylinder, turn OFF the gas.
   • DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
2. Valve-to-regulator connections.
   • WARNINGS
     If there is a leak at the valve-to-regulator connection turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
     When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water.
   • DANGER Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
   • DANGER Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or flames may result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property. DANGER Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near this appliance. 1 lb. cylinders are not refillable. If the instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

Annual Maintenance

After a period of nonuse, we recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures for your safety. Inspect and clean the burner tube. Inspect the burner for correct flame pattern. Clean if necessary, following the procedures outlined in the “General Maintenance” section of this manual. Check all gas fittings for leaks following the instructions listed in this manual under “Check for gas Leaks”.

Inspection and cleaning of Burner Tube:
Your grill, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tube. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutter, causing serious damage to your grill.

Air Mixture Adjustment:
The air mixer sleeve for the burner has been pre-set at the factory for gas conditions at sea level. However, if the burner flame is too yellow (this may occur at higher altitudes) open the air mix sleeve slightly until the flame turns blue.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure:
Turn off the gas supply. Remove the burner. (See below) Look inside the burner with a flashlight. Clean the inside of the burner with a wire. (A straightened-out coat hanger will work) Check and clean the opening at the end of the burner. Check and clean the valve orifice at the base of the valve. Use a Steel bristle brush to clean outside of burner. This is to make sure all the burner ports are fully open.

Ignition System Operations:
This appliance has an electronic igniter that uses a triple A battery (AAA – V.), (battery should be checked periodically). The grill can also be lit using a match, via the flame view window. Follow the lighting instructions exactly when lighting the grill.

Battery Check:
The battery compartment is located behind the electronic igniter push button on the control panel. Rotate the push button counter-clockwise to expose the battery compartment. When replacing the battery be sure to attach positive and negative ends correctly. Check the igniter by pressing the button. You should hear a “clicking spark” sound.

Storage, Transport and/ or Non – use

When the grill is not in use or is being transported, the propane cylinder must be DISCONNECTED and the propane cylinder stored in a well-ventilated space.

DO NOT DRIVE WITH THE CYLINDER ATTACHED!
The grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before using.
(See Sections: “General Maintenance and Annual Maintenance.”) The burner tube should also be checked for any obstructions. (See Section: “Annual Maintenance.”)
If grill is to be stored for a long time, remove battery from electronic igniter.
