Consumer Information

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

• The California Safe Drinking Water and

Toxic Enforcement Act requires the

Governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to the state to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such

substances.

• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to

four of these substances, namely benzene,

carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,

caused primarily by the incomplete

combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a

bluish rather than a yellow flame, will

minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure

to these substances is minimized because this

is an outdoor unit.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety

precautions, including the following:

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in

accordance with the provided installation

instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your cooking center unless it is

specifically recommended in this guide.

All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

• Have the installer show you where the gas

shut-off valve is located so that you know

where to shut off the gas to the cooking center.

• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a

proper job of checking for leaks. You can have

a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if

the connections are not completely tight.

Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself

procedure. Some leaks can only be found with

the burner control in the ON position and for

your protection it must be done by a qualified

service technician. Never use an open flame to

locate a leak.

• This cooking center is for outdoor use only.

Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58,

Latest Edition standard for outdoor cooking

gas appliances.

• Check your local building codes for the

proper method of installation. In the absence

of local codes, this unit should be installed in

accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code

No. Z223.1, Latest Edition and the National

Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70, Latest

Edition.

• Do not try lighting this appliance without

reading the lighting instructions in this guide.

• Read this guide carefully and completely

before using your cooking center to reduce

the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.

Please retain this guide for future reference.

• This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not

intended to be installed in or on recreational

vehicles and/or boats.

• Never allow anyone to sit, stand or play on or

around the cooking center at any time. When

in use, portions of the cooking center get hot

enough to cause severe burns.

• Do not store items of interest to children

around or below the cooking center, in the

cart or built-in enclosure.

• Never allow children to crawl inside a cart

or enclosure.

• Never let clothing, pot holders or other

flammable materials come in contact with or

too close to any grate, burner or hot surface

until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and

result in personal injury.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up

a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a

flaming pan on a burner by covering the pan

completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet

or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical

or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by

covering it with baking soda or, if available, by

using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-

type fire extinguisher.

Important Safety Instructions

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this guide.

• Children should not be left alone or

unattended in an area where the cooking

center is being used.

• For personal safety, wear proper apparel.

Loose fitting garments or sleeves should

never be worn while using this appliance.

Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable

and should not be worn while cooking.

• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass

ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for grill use. Unsuitable

types of materials may break with sudden

temperature changes. Use only on low or

medium heat settings according to the

manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not heat unopened food containers as a

build-up of pressure may cause the container

to burst.

• Use a pot holder when opening the roll top

lid. Open the lid slowly to allow heat and

steam to escape.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky

cloth in place of a pot holder. Do not let pot

holders touch hot portions of the grill rack or

burner grates.

• Never lean over an open grill.

• Pay close attention when lighting a burner.

Be certain you are rotating 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 as these areas become extremely hot

and could cause burns. Keep children away!

• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool

before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting

grease deposits collect in the drip pans. Clean

the drip pans often. (On some models)

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip

pans or grill racks. This can severely upset

combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in

the control area. The result of this can be

melted knobs or rotary igniters.

• When using the range-top burners always use

flat-bottomed pans which are large enough to

cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it

heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid

ignition of clothing. Position handles inward

away from open edges of the unit to avoid

burns associated with spillovers. Hold the

handle of the pan with a pot holder when

turning or stirring food.

• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively

fatty meats or products which promote

flare-ups.

• 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.

• Never rotisserie cook without the basting

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 leave the cooking center unattended

while cooking.

• For proper lighting and performance of the

burners it is necessary to keep the ports clean.

• Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam

burns, do not use a wet sponge or cloth to

clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners

produce noxious fumes or can ignite if

applied to a hot surface.

• Do not operate the cooking center under

unprotected combustible construction.

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.

• Do not locate the cooking center where

the grill exhaust is directed at combustible

materials, windows (open or closed),

doorways, etc. The grill vents combustion

gases and smoke to the back of the appliance.

• Keep the area surrounding the cooking center

free from combustible materials, trash, or

combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline

or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the

flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Important Safety Instructions

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

• At least once a year, the unit should be

inspected for the presence of spiders, spider

webs or other insects. The burner area is a

common and desired spider haven and can

present a dangerous condition which can

damage the cooking center and render it

unsafe for use. The presence of spiders,

spider webs or other insects can cause the gas

to flow from the front of the burner. This is a

very dangerous condition which can cause a

fire to occur behind the valve panel. Check

the cooking center immediately if any of the

following conditions exist:

1. The smell of gas in conjunction with

extreme yellow tipping of the burner

flames.

2. The grill or range-top burners do not

reach temperature.

3. The grill or range-top burners heat

unevenly.

4. The burners make popping noises.

• Do not use charcoal on the grill.

• Keep any electrical supply cord, or the

rotisserie motor away from the heated

areas of the cooking center.

• Never use the cooking center in windy

conditions. If located in a consistently windy

area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind

break will be required. Always adhere to

the specified clearances listed in the

installation instructions.

• The

24˝

professional grill is designed for

single rows of ceramic briquettes to be

placed in the stainless steel radiant trays

above the grill burners. To avoid blocking

off the area for the grill burners to vent, do

not place the ceramic briquettes over the

holes in the stainless steel radiant trays.

Placing the ceramic briquettes over the

holes in the stainless steel radiant trays can

damage ignition components and knobs

and void the warranty.

• The

27˝, 36˝and 48˝

professional grills are

designed for a single layer of lava rock to

be spread evenly over the stainless steel

radiant tray above the grill burners. To avoid

blocking off the area for the grill burners to

vent, do not use more than a single layer of

lava rock. Adding excess rock can damage

ignition components and knobs and void

the warranty.

•

If a cart unit is stored indoors ensure

that it is cool before attempting to move it.

If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and

the LP cylinder stored outside in a well

ventilated area, out of the reach of children.

From the caster side of the cooking center

push, never pull, the cooking center.

• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. See the

requirements in the installation instructions.

• Never put more than one LP cylinder below

a cart-mounted cooking center. Never modify

the cart to house a larger cylinder or more

than one cylinder at a time. Do not store

spare tanks in a built-in enclosure.

• Keep the ventilation openings of the LP

cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

• LP units require an LP tank equipped

with a type 1 connector and an over-fill

protection device. If you use a tank

exchange system, be sure to exchange this

tank for a similarly equipped tank.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to

at least an INTERNAL

160°F.

and poultry

to at least an INTERNAL

180°F

. Cooking

to these temperatures usually protects

against foodborne illness.

The Grill

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

General

information

The grill section consists of a large cast iron

burner or burners (depending on model), a

series of stainless steel heat baffles (on some

models), a bed of natural lava rocks or ceramic

briquettes and a porcelain enameled heat

retaining grill rack(s).

Each burner is rated at 15,000 BTU for

24″models.

Each burner is rated at 20,000 BTU for

27″,36″and 48″ models.

Below each burner is a stainless steel heat

baffle (on some models) which reflects usable

heat upward into the cooking area and reduces

the temperature of the drip pan below (on

some models).

The cast iron grill burner encompasses the

entire cooking area and is top ported to

operate cooler and last longer.

On some models, the burners in the cooking

area are side ported.

Above the burner(s) is a stainless steel radiant

tray(s) which supports the lava rock or ceramic

briquettes and protects the grill burner ports

from blockage.

Before

lighting

the grill

WARNING: IMPORTANT!

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. Any replacement pressure regulators or

hose assembly must be the type specified by

the manufacturer.

For LP use, the pressure regulator and hose

assembly supplied with the unit must be used.

This LP tank is equipped with overfill

protection. When you refill or trade in your

tank, make sure the one you receive also has

overfill protection.

If the grill uses LP gas, connect the regulator to

the LP tank and check the hose and regulator

connections for leaks with a soap and water

solution before operating the grill.

Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas

supply valve and check the connections for gas

leaks before each use.

Turn all knobs to OFF then turn on the gas

supply.

Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present.

Lava rock

(on some models)

The grill is supplied with natural lava rock

(on some models). Because of the porosity of

natural lava rock it is superior in its ability to

capture heat as it rises from the grill burners.

It also possesses the thermal mass needed for

professional results. Flare-ups are controlled

because the lava radiant keeps grease from

getting to the flames and igniting.

The intense heat produced by this system

produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices

are brought to the surface of the food and

caramelized.

Place lava rocks in a single layer on top of the

stainless steel radiant tray located under the

grill rack. It is important to distribute the rocks

evenly over the tray without leaving any large

gaps. Uneven distribution of the rocks and air

gaps can cause localized “hot” and “cold” spots

which could result in unsatisfactory cooking

performance.

Ceramic

briquettes

(on some models)

The intense radiant heat from the ceramic

briquettes caramelizes the fats and juices that

are brought to the surface of the food, giving it

the barbecued flavor.

The ceramic briquettes are in two separate

stainless steel trays located under the grill

racks. The small tray is to be placed in the back

and the large tray is to be placed in the front.

(See the Rotisserie section for placement when

rotisserie cooking.)

Make sure the briquettes are in place in the trays

so that they do not cover the holes in the trays.

AVERTISSEMENT : IMPORTANT!

Inspecter la canalisation d’alimentation de gaz

ou le tuyau avant d’allumer le gaz. S’il existe

un indice de coupure, usure ou abrasion, cette

canalisation doit être remplacée avant

l’utilisation de l’appareil. Tous les régulateurs

de pression ou montage de tuyau de

remplacement doivent être du type spécifié par

le fabricant.

Pour l’utilisation avec le gaz propane, le

régulateur de pression et le montage de tuyau

fournis avec l’appareil doivent être utilisés.

Ce réservoir de gaz propane est muni d’un

dispositif de protection contre le remplissage

excessif. Lorsque vous remplissez de nouveau

ou échangez votre réservoir, s’assurer que celui

que vous recevez a aussi une protection contre

le remplissage excessif.

Si le gril utilise du gaz propane, connecter le

régulateur au réservoir de gaz propane et

vérifier les connexions du tuyau et du

régulateur pour les fuites, avec une solution

de savon et d’eau avant de faire fonctionner

le gril.

Garder une bouteille de vaporisation d’eau

savonneuse près du robinet d’alimentation de

gaz et vérifier les connexions pour les fuites de

gaz avant chaque utilisation.

Tourner tous les boutons à OFF (ARRÊT)

ensuite ouvrir l’approvisionnement de gaz.

Ne pas utiliser le gril s’il existe une odeur

de gaz.

The Grill

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

To light

the grill

Always keep your face and body as far away from the

grill as possible when lighting.

Open the lid, push and turn the grill control

knob to the LITE position and immediately

turn the rotary igniter knob of the spark igniter

next to the grill control knob. You will hear a

snapping sound. At the same time a spark will

be provided at the grill burner.

It may be necessary to turn the rotary igniter

knob several times until the burner is lit.

If the burner does not light in 4 seconds,

turn both knobs to OFF and wait 5 minutes,

for any accumulated gas to dissipate, before

trying again.

If the burner will not light after several

attempts the burner can be match lit. Remove

the grill rack over the burner(s) you wish to

light. If you’ve just attempted to light the

burner with the igniter, allow 5 minutes for any

accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face as

far away from the grill as possible and pass a lit,

long stem match through the lava radiant tray

and position it near the burner ports.

Make sure that the match is adjacent to the

burner ports. (On 24″ models, open the lid

and use the lighting hole on the left top

edge.)Push and turn the control knob, which is

centered on the burner you wish to light, to

LITE. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds

turn the knob OFF. Wait 5 minutes and try

again. If the burner will not light after several

attempts, see the Problem Solver in the back of

this guide.

NOTE:

• Do not attempt to light the grill if the odor

of gas is present. Call for service.

• Always wait 5 minutes before relighting a

hints

• When turning the meat over, always use a

spatula as it will not puncture the meat

allowing the juices to run out. This will help to

keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once,

as juices are lost when the meat is repeatedly

turned. Season or salt the meat after it has

been cooked; these procedures have a

tendency to dry the meat out.

• Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or

poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from

curling while they are being cooked, slit the

fat around the edges at about 2-inch intervals.

To test for doneness, make a small cut in the

center of the meat.

• The doneness of meat is affected by the

thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook a

thin piece of meat to a rare doneness. A steak

should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turn

out rare and juicy. The cooking time is

affected by the temperature of the meat

when you start to cook it, the size and shape

of the cut and the kind of meat you are

cooking. The degree of doneness desired

also affects the time.

• The U. S. Department of Agriculture says,

“Rare beef is popular, but you should know

that cooking it to only 140°F. means some

food poisoning organisms may survive.”

(Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen

Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)

• When defrosting meats it is recommended

that it be done overnight in the refrigerator

as opposed to a microwave. This in general

yields a juicier cut of meat.

• Always ensure that the meat is thoroughly

cooked by using a meat thermometer.

The Grill

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

Using the

grill

Grilling requires high heat for searing and

proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the

HI heat setting for the entire cooking time.

However, when grilling large pieces of meat or

poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to

a lower setting after the initial browning. This

cooks the food through without burning the

outside.

Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a

sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting

near the end of the cooking time.

Do not leave the grill unattended while

cooking.

1. Check to be certain the drip tray is in place.

2. Light the grill using the instructions in the

To light the grill section of this guide.

3. Turn the control knob to HI and preheat the

grill for 10–15 minutes. The roll top lid is to

be closed during preheating.

4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the

desired doneness. The control knob may be

set to any position to adjust the heat setting

if necessary.

NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in

the juices. The longer you preheat the grill, the

faster the meat browns and the darker the grill

marks will be.

Range-Top Burners

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

Range-top

burners

(on some models)

Some cooking centers are equipped with heavy

cast iron burners. Each is rated at 15,000 BTU

and has a rotary spark igniter for efficient lighting.

The burner grates are porcelain enamel over

cast iron for durability.

Each cooking center comes with a stainless steel

cover which doubles as a work surface. When

using the grill burners with the work surface in

place, be careful as heat can conduct from the

grill section and cause the work surface to heat up.

Never attempt to light the range-top burners

with the work surface in place.

Cover the range-top burners with the stainless

steel cover when not in use.

To light a

range-top

burner

(on some models)

First remove the burner cover, by lifting up and

to the side, or any cooking utensils from the

burner grate.

CAUTION: The burner cover may be hot if the

grill burners are in operation.

MISE EN GARDE : Le couvercle du brûleur

peut être chaud si les brûleurs du gril sont en

fonctionnement.

Push and turn the control knob to the LITE

position and immediately turn the rotary igniter

knob (between the rear and front burner

knobs) until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass.

If the burner doesn’t ignite wait 5 minutes for

any accumulated gas to dissipate then try again.

Flame

height

The correct height of the flame depends on the

size and material of the pan being used, the

food being cooked and how much liquid is in

the pan.

• The flame should never extend beyond the

bottom of the pan.

• Pans that conduct heat slowly (such as glass-

ceramic) should be used with low or medium

flame unless you are cooking with a large

amount of liquid.

Note:

The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using.

Correct Incorrect

If the burner will not light after several

attempts, wait 5 minutes. The burner can

be lit by holding a lit match next to the

burner ports and turning the control

knob to LITE.

Rotisserie

system

(on some models)

The rotisserie system is designed to cook items

from the back of the grill using infrared heat.

The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal

gears and is capable of turning up to a 12, 15

or 20 lb. cut of meat or poultry, depending on

the model. The actual capacity is limited by

clearance and motor torque.

Maximum 24″ model . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 lb. turkey

Maximum 27″ model . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 lb. turkey

Maximum 36″, 48 ″ models . . . . . . . . . 20 lb. turkey

The rotisserie burner (on some models) is an

infrared type which provides intense searing

radiant heat. This intense heat is magnificent

for searing in the natural juices and nutrients

found in quality cuts of meat.

Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking

temperatures in about 1 minute. The orange/red

glow will even out in about 5 minutes.

WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance rotisserie motor is equipped

with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your

protection against shock hazard and should be

plugged directly into a properly grounded

three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove

the grounding prong from the plug.

The rotisserie motor must be electrically

grounded in accordance with local codes or,

in the absence of local codes, with the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.

If an extension cord is required to operate the

rotisserie motor, use only a grounded cord

approved for outdoor use. Use as short of cord

as possible and avoid wet areas.

The Rotisserie System

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

Assembly

On 24″ models the motor is mounted by sliding

it down into place in the metal channel attached

to the right side of the grill. The skewer is

connected to the motor assembly by placing

the pointed end through the motor access hole

in the grill and into the motor. The left side of

the skewer rests in the grill groove.

On 27″ models the motor is mounted to a metal

channel which attaches to the left side of the

grill and is tightened into place with a thumb

screw. Ensure that the motor is straight prior to

tightening the thumb screw.

The rotisserie motor on 36″ and 48″ models is

secured down to a cast rotisserie block with the

black screw-down knob. The rotisserie block is

in turn bolted to the right side panel.

On 36″ and 48″ models, the skewer or the

rotisserie is attached to the motor assembly by

placing the pointed end into the motor and

resting the threaded end on the support at the

left side (right side on 24″ and 27″ models) of

the grill.

With the skewer pushed as far as possible into

the motor, the grooved skewer bushing should

rest on the left side bracket.

The removable black handle should only be in

place when handling the skewer. Remove the

handle when cooking to allow the lid to close

and avoid melting the handle with heat from

the range-top burners (on some models).

Basting

pan

The location of the burner allows the

placement of the rotisserie basting pan

(included) beneath the food to collect

juices and drippings for basting and gravy.

To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you

can add herbs, onion, garlic or spices. Hams

are especially good with the addition of

pineapple slices and brown sugar to the

basting pan.

To load the

skewer

1. To load the skewer begin with the handle in

place and slide one of the meat holders, with

the prongs facing away from the handle,

onto the skewer.

2. Push the skewer through the center of the

food, then slide the second meat holder with

the prongs toward the food, onto the skewer.

3. Center the food on the skewer. Push the meat

holders firmly together. (Some models have

grooves on the skewer to indicate the burner

position. Use them to position the meat

holders.) When cooking foods such as multiple

chickens, always place the thickest portion

of the food nearer the center of the skewer.

4. Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may be

necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s

string to secure any loose portions. Never

use nylon or plastic string.

5. Once the food is secure, insert the skewer

into the motor. If needed, remove the grill

racks. Place the basting pan beneath the

food. It is normal for the skewer to flex

when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.

6. Use the motor switch (on some models) to

turn the rotisserie motor on or off.

24″ model rotisserie

To setup the

grill for

rotisserie

(24 ″models only)

1. Open the lid.

2. Remove the grill racks.

3. Remove the front large stainless steel

radiant tray with briquettes.

4. Remove the back small stainless steel radiant

tray with briquettes and place it into the

rotisserie cooking position by sliding it into

the rotisserie cooking slots.

5. Place the basting pan, on the grill floor,

inside the grill compartment, against the

bottom of the stainless steel radiant tray.

6. Assemble the rotisserie motor and skewer.

7. Use only the small, stainless steel radiant

tray with briquettes in the rotisserie cooking

position. The large stainless steel radiant

tray with briquettes is not used during

rotisserie cooking.

7. Use the REAR GRILL control only, for

rotisserie cooking.

To light the

rotisserie

burner

(on some models)

Open the lid. Push the control knob to the

LITE position.

Press the safety valve button, hold in, and

begin turning the rotary ignitor button located

next to the control knob. It may be necessary to

turn the ignitor knob several times until the

burner lights. You will hear a snapping sound.

At the same time, a spark will be provided at

the safety probe. Once the burner ignites, hold

the safety valve button in for about 10 seconds

or until the burner remains lit.

This is the only burner on the grill with a safety

valve. Once lit, turn the control knob to the

desired setting.

If the burner does not light within 4 seconds,

release the safety valve button and turn the

control knob to OFF.

If the ignitor does not function, the burner can

be lit by holding a lit match to the burner (with

the control knob at LITE and the safety valve

button pressed).

Wait 5 minutes before relighting a hot

rotisserie burner.

NOTE: The location of the rotisserie burner

makes it susceptible to strong wind conditions,

more so than the protected grill burners.

For this reason you should avoid utilizing the

rotisserie burner during windy conditions.

As an added precaution we’ve equipped the

burner with an automatic safety valve which

will not allow gas to flow to the rotisserie

burner unless the following conditions are

present with the knob on:

1. The safety valve button is pressed.

2. The safety probe is sufficiently heated to

open the valve.

The Rotisserie System

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

The Smoker System

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center

Smoke flavor tray (36″ and 48″ models)

Wood chips

There are many wood chips available for

purchase and selection is based on personal

taste. The most common wood chips used are

mesquite or hickory. Mesquite has a sweeter

taste and is commonly used with poultry and

seafood. Hickory is best suited for red meats.

Use of oak, cherry, maple, aspen or apple is

also common while aromatic herbs like sage,

bay leaves, thyme or basil may also be of use.

Always soak the chips in water prior to putting

them into the tray. In the beginning you may

want to use the HI position to start the chips

smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level

to prevent them from drying out and flaming.

If the wood chips do flame up, add a small

amount of water to extinguish the flame. This

should be done carefully through the top of

the grill area, or by pulling the tray out slightly.

To avoid steam burns, use caution when

adding water to a hot tray. Never completely

remove a hot tray.

During extended roasting periods it is normal

to add fresh wood chips to the tray several

times.

To minimize the possibility of burns do not

remove the smoker tray when hot.

The smoke

flavor tray

(on some models)

For the 27″ models, the smoke flavor tray is

located directly beneath the rotisserie burner.

It is a stainless steel tray which is designed to

hold wood chips or herbs for adding a smoke

flavor to foods.

For the 36″ and 48″ models, the smoke flavor

tray is located above a 5,000 BTU burner. The

burner is controlled by a precision brass valve

which is capable of being turned down to very

low heat levels. The smoker system may be used

alone for low temperature roasting and

smoking or in conjunction with any

combination of other burners.

The tray may also be filled with water to

produce steam. Whether smoking or steaming

the lid should remain closed as much as

possible to maximize the effect.

To light the

smoker burner

(on some models)

Open the lid and remove the smoker tray. Locate

the burner visually by looking through the cut-

out in the valve panel. Push and turn the control

knob to the LITE position and immediately

turn the smoker rotary ignitor knob (for 36″ or

48″ cooking centers) or the rotisserie rotary

ignitor knob (for the 27″ cooking centers) until

the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner

doesn’t ignite, wait 5 minutes for any accumulated

gas to dissipate, then try again. If the burner will

not light after several attempts, wait 5 minutes

then match light using a long stemmed match

or lighter through the cut-out in the valve panel.

Once lit, fill the smoker tray and replace.

When using the smoker system in conjunction

with the optional infrared rotisserie burner

you’ll find it helpful to use the low setting of the

smoker burner to minimize the heat rising up to

the rotisserie basting pan. Staggering the meat

away from the smoker burner also helps.

Because of the location of the smoke flavor tray on 27″ models,

the rotisserie burner acts as the burner for the smoke flavor tray.

The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately

after cooking is completed and after turning

off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect

your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a

brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and

scrub the hot grill. Drip the brush frequently in

the bowl of water. Steam, created as water

contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning

process by softening any food particles. The

food particles will fall onto the hot lava rocks

or ceramic briquettes and burn or fall into the

drip tray (on some models). If the grill is

allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will

be more difficult.

For harder baked-on food particles, remove the

grill rack and soak for about one hour in warm

water. Lightly scrub with a Scotch Brite® pad.

Grill rack(s)

Drip trays

(on some models)

The full width drip trays will collect grease from

the grill section as well as boilovers and spills

from the range-top burners (on some models).

Allow the pan and its contents to cool before

attempting to clean. Clean the grease from the

pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.

Lava rocks

(on some models)

It is not necessary to remove the lava rocks for

cleaning. They burn themselves clean during

the next cooking operation. Periodically the

rocks need to be turned over for a thorough

cleaning. How often you use the grill and the

amount and type of food cooked will determine

when it is necessary to turn the lava rocks.

If grease can be seen on the top of the rocks

or if you get a lot of flare-ups during cooking,

the rocks need to be turned over and heated

on HIGH for about 30 minutes, longer for

heavy soil.

Ceramic

briquettes

(on some models)

The layer of ceramic briquettes, under the grill

rack(s), will last for many years with proper care.

Burned-on food particles and ash can be

emptied off the stainless steel radiant trays

when cool by shaking over a waste receptacle.

After emptying the ash from the trays, replace

them with the small tray in the back and the

large tray in the front. Make sure the briquettes

do not cover the holes in the tray.

Chipping or cracking of the briquettes

may occur as they may get brittle with age,

depending on the frequency of use. This is

normal and does not affect the performance.

Do not replace the stainless steel radiant trays

with alternates. Should the ceramic briquettes

ever need to be replaced, purchase them

locally, wherever outdoor cooking centers

are sold.
