Make sure water comes out of every porthole.Open clogged portholes with a thin wire. Allow burner to dry thoroughly and examine portholes. Due to normal wear and corrosion some portholes may become enlarged, if so replace burner. If any horizontal cracks appear from porthole to porthole or large holes (other than portholes) are found replace burner.
  5. If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightly with cooking oil. Wrap in protective cover to keep insects out. If not storing use following steps.
  6. Reattach Regulator.
  7. Replace cooking grid.
  8. Before cooking again on grill, perform a “Leak Test” and “Burner Flame Check”.

NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS

FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into the burner tubes attached to the burner. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of gas. Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one month not being used.

Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result in a “flashback” (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burner.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:

  1. Smell gas.
  2. Burner(s) will not light.
  3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
  4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.

STOP!

Immediately turn off gas at LP cylinder!

SOLUTION:Wait for grill to cool.

Follow the “ Cleaning the Burner Assembly ” instructions. Clean burner often. Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tube. You may also force a stream of water from a hose nozzle through burner tube to clean them.

General Grill Cleaning
  • 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 surfaces.
  • Check regulator before each used and clean if needed.
Storing Your Grill
  • Clean cooking surface.
  • When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
  • Cover grill if stored outdoors.
  • Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors in well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
  • Leak test the grill after removing from storage and follow Cleaning Burner Assembly instructions before starting grill.
  • Keep grill area clear and free from materials that burner(i.e. gasoline, propane or other flammable liquid or gas).
  • Do not block holes in bottom or back of grill.
Food Safety

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 1-888-MPHOTLINE (888-674-6854) In Washington, DCOr E-mail: [email protected]Or visit the USDA website at www.isitdoneyet.gov

How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly
  • Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.
  • We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your appliance.
  • Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
  • Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be cooked to 160° F.
  • NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
