Preheating Grill It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After lighting, close the hood and preheat the grill on “MAX” for 15 minutes. This preheating will ensure that the cooking grate is hot enough for proper grilling. CAUTION: Do not cover the cooking grate during the preheating period. WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against possible grease fires getting out of control.
WARNING: Please remember this is an outdoor gas grill. Many areas of the grill generate extreme heat. We have taken every precaution to protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all high-temperature areas. Therefore, use good judgment and a certain degree of caution when grilling on this product. We suggest a covered, protected hand during operation of grill. Do not move your grill when it is in operation or hot to the touch.
LP tank should be securely locked by the gas cylinder safety stop at all times. An unlocked tank may fall or tilt which can cause injury or property damage. It is recommended to lock the tank all the time. Refer to Fig. 27 and Fig. 28. After positioning the tank in the opening, lift up the gas cylinder safety stop to lock the tank. Use only 20 lb. gas tank (see LP Gas Safety Requirements for Additional Information).
WARNING: When not connected to your grill, the LP gas tank must be stored in an upright position in a cool, shady, well-ventilated, outdoor location away from your grill or any other heat source. Failure to follow this warning could lead to tank valve damage, fire hazard and personal injury. Refilling a Propane Tank It is extremely important that your LP tank be filled properly when you take it to be refilled. Be sure to use a reputable LP dealer and observe how the tank is filled and at what capacity.
Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can usually be removed with warm soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. As a last resort a mild abrasive pad could be used with a stainless cleaner. Use light pressure on the pad and always scrub in the direction of the grain. There are many outstanding products that will help clean and protect on all non-cooking surfaces. Do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
