Rotisserie Cooking
Rotisserie cooking is best for 'round' meat, such as large 
roasts, whole poultry, and pork.  It generally requires an 
accessory motor and spit rod that allows the meat to be 
turned at a constant speed.  Rotisserie cooking is best 
done in front of a special rotisserie burner, or utilizing an 
indirect cooking burner arrangement.  A pan can be 
placed underneath the meat to catch grease and food 
drippings, and helps minimize clean-up.
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.
Separate:  Separate raw meats 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.
First Time Use
Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put 
together properly.  Remove all Point-of-Purchase 
advertising material from all grill surfaces before first use.  
We recommend operating your grill on its highest setting for 
15-20 minutes prior to your first use.  This aids in removing 
the oils used during manufacturing.
Lava Rock / Briquettes
This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to 
be used with heat tents to provide more even heating, 
improve the cleaning process, and reduce flare-ups.  The 
addition of after market lava rocks, charcoal, or briquettes 
of any type will cause poor combustion and increase the 
likelihood of a grease fire, and is not recommended.  Using 
briquettes, lava rock, or charcoal in this grill will void your 
warranty.  For extra smoke flavor, we recommend using a 
smoker box with wood chips.
Temperature - Convective Grills ONLY.
The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill 
measures air temperature.  The air temperature inside your 
grill will never be as hot as the temperature at the cooking 
surface.
Note:  Since 1995, all regulators (the part that attaches to 
the gas tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a 
safety feature that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas 
leak. You can inadvertently activate this safety feature 
without having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you 
turn on the gas using the grill control knob before you turn 
on the LP tank valve.  If the gas regulator safety feature 
activates, the grill will only reach temperatures between 
250°F and 300°F even with all burners on the high setting.
If your grill is not getting hotter than 250°F to 300°F 
these steps should be taken first to reset the gas 
regulator safety device:
1. Open the grill lid.
2. Turn off all knobs on the control panel in front.
3. Turn off the tank knob.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank.
7. Slowly open the LP tank knob all the way. Do not put 
excessive force on the valve at the full open position to 
avoid damaging the valve.
8. Turn on the appropriate control knob and light the grill per 
the instructions.

Guide.  See Troubleshooting section for additional

GRILLING GUIDE – Getting Started 
Regulator
Coupling Nut
Pre-Heating Your Grill
Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated 
to provide optimum performance. Pre-heat the grill on high 
for 10-15 minutes – longer if weather conditions require.  
Please refer to the lighting instructions inside the Product 
Guide if you have questions about how to light your grill.  A 
match-light chain and hole is provided for your 
convenience.
Outdoor grilling is really quite simple.  You'll succeed with 
burgers, dogs, or steaks usually on your very first try.  
With experience, you will learn how to work with your grill, 
creating more imaginative meals all the time.  This 
knowledge makes up the art of grilling.  Before you start 
grilling, organize your food according to cooking 
technique and required cooking time, and optimize the 
use of your grilling area.
Direct Cooking
Direct cooking involves grilling your meat directly over 
high heat.  It is perfect for searing steaks, chops, and 
other smaller pieces of meat and vegetables that quickly 
make their way to the table. 
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking utilizes select burners to circulate heat 
throughout the grill, without direct contact between the 
meat and the flame.  The meat is placed over the burner 
that is 'off'.  This method is generally used to slow cook 
large cuts of meat and poultry.  A pan can be placed 
underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings, 
and helps minimize clean-up.
