NORMAL OPERATION
Breaking in Your Grill
When fi ring your grill for the fi rst 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
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.
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.
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.

1. Open the lid and make sure that all burners are in the "OFF" position.
2. Turn main gas supply on.
3. Push in selected MAIN BURNER control knob and turn to "HI".

Close Lid for Grilling
We recommend always cooking with your lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or
®
colder climate. Your Ducane gas grill has been designed and constructed to give
you maximum fl exibility and cooking performance. Be creative, try different cooking
methods on your grill to determine what suits your needs best...there is no "right" or
"wrong" way to cook...just different individual styles.
WARNING: Please remember that this is an outdoor gas
cooking appliance. 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. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly cooled
down before moving from place to place. Failure to follow
this warning could result in personal injury.
Post-heating Grill
In order to assist cleaning your cook grid and to completely vaporize remaining juices,
post-heat grill for 10 minutes with the burners on "HI" and the lid closed.
CAUTION: Do not cover the cook grate during the post-
heating period.
After the post-heating of your grill is completed turn the control knobs to the "OFF"
position.
For Natural Gas Grills and System Propane
It is also advisable to turn off the Natural Gas or System Propane gas supply at the
main cut-off valve when your grill is not in use.
