BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL
When firing your grill for the first time, it is advisable to run the Main Burner(s) on “HI”
for 20 minutes with the hood down and then turn the Main Burners “OFF”. This tempers
the grill.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
m WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to
inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident
there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the
hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into
operation.
m DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion
any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the
lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious
bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing
damage to property.
Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose
assembly. For base cabinet model grills, it will be necessary to go behind your grill to
check the hose.
PREHEATING GRILL
It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it.
After lighting, close the lid and preheat the grill on “HI” for 10 minutes. This preheating
will ensure that the cooking grid is hot enough for proper grilling.
m WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against
possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires can
be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and
bodily harm.
CLOSE LID FOR GRILLING
