SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURYTO SELF OR PROPERTY When lighting a burner always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain that you are turning the igniter labeled for the burner you intend on using. When using the grill: do not touch the grill rack, burner grate, or immediate surrounding areas these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only dry potholders, moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.
SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY TO SELF OR PROPERTY 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. Do not locate the grill under overhead unprotected surfaces. 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.
GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural or L.P., and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the rear of the grill. An "X" will be marked next to the type of gas that the unit is orifice for. L.P. gas installation requires the use of a regulator set for 10"W.C. pressure. Natural gas installation requires a pressure of 7"W.C.
GAS REQUIREMENTS NATURAL GAS HOOK-UP Connection: 3/8-flare male fitting in right rear corner of unit Operating pressure :7.0" W.C. Check with your local gas utility company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the line is too small the ProFire Gas Grill will not function properly. Please have a certified gas installer make sure that the size of the line is correct.
L.P. GAS CONNECTION AND TANK REQUIREMENTS A dented or rusty L.P. tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your L.P. supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. The L.P. cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). This appliance is approved with a combination L.P. gas/propane cylinder valve and QCC1 fitting, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder when the unit is not in use.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION Minimum clearance from sides and back of unit to adjacent combustible construction below top of unit, 12" from sides and back. Minimum horizontal clearance from sides and back of unit to adjacent vertical combustible construction extending above top of unit 12" from sides and back.
LEAK TESTING CHECK ALL GAS SUPPLY FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE EACH USE. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. Although all gas connections on the ProFire grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
ADJUSTING FOR PROPER FLAME AND EFFICIENCY Each burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. However, variations in the local gas supply or conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the grill burners should be visually checked. The rear broiler (when equipped) should have a very low flame (no more than 1/4") and glow with a light red color. There is no air shutter adjustment for the rear broiler.
INSTALLATION CHECK LIST NOTE TO THE INSTALLER: BE SURE ALL ITEMS ON THIS LIST HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY COMPLETED AND CHECKED BEFORE OPERATING THE GRILL. _____ Specified clearances maintained to combustibles. _____ All internal packaging removed. _____ Knobs turn freely. _____ Each burner lights satisfactorily, individually or with adjacent burner lit. _____ Air shutters adjusted. _____ Adjustable low setting satisfactory. _____ Drip pan in place properly and sliding freely.
HOW TO LIGHT YOUR GAS GRILL WARNING! Before lighting your grill be sure to read this section carefully. Turn all knobs to the off position then: Inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas on. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. The replacement pressure regulators and hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the ProFire Gas Grill if the odor of gas is present. For L.P.
HOW TO LIGHT YOUR GAS GRILL Using a long stemmed match or lighter. LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNERS 1. Remove the burner cover and any cooking utensils from the burner grate. 2. Push and turn the burner control knob to the "LIGHT" position and immediately push the igniter button (marked side burner) for 4 seconds or until the burner is lit. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds turn the burner control knob to "OFF" and wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before trying to light again. 3.
USING YOUR ProFire GAS GRILL TO BEGIN: 1. Be sure the drip pan is in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. 2. Light the burners using the instructions given. 3. PREHEAT the grill after lighting with burner control knob turned to "HIGH" for 5 minutes. Keep the lid closed while preheating. 4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust the heat setting if necessary. The burner control knob may be set to any position between "HIGH" and "LOW". 5.
USING YOUR ProFire GAS GRILL FLAVOR GRID An exclusive feature of the ProFire Gas Grill is its Stainless Steel Flavor grid designed to deflect the grease from falling into the burners thereby preventing flare-ups and extending the life of the burners. The Stainless Steel Flavor grid evens out the heat and creates a hot surface for the meat drippings to fall on to. This action turns the drippings into smoke, which passes over the meat resulting in a delicious "Charcoal Flavor".
CARE AND MAINTENANCE STAINLESS STEEL The ProFire gas grill is made from non-rusting, nonmagnetic, type 304 stainless steel. There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning methods first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper or scotch bright pad in the direction of the grain.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE BURNERS After removing: 1. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. 2. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. 3. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. 4. Shake out any debris through the air shutter. 5. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. 6. If an obstruction can be seen, use a straightened metal wire coat-hanger to clean it out.
