TIPS & HINTS
• Always preheat the grill before
cooking. Set burner on high heat and
close lid; preheat for 5 to 10 minutes.
• The temperature of your gas grill
may run hotter than normal for the
first few uses.
• Recipe grilling times are based on
outside temperatures of 70°F (21°C)
and little or no wind. Allow for more
cooking time on cold or windy days,
or at higher altitudes. Allow for
less cooking time in extremely hot
weather.
• Grilling conditions may require
adjustment of the burner control
knob to attain the correct cooking
temperatures.
• In general, large pieces of meat will
require more cooking time per pound
(kilo) than small pieces of meat.
• Always be sure the cookbox is clean
and free from debris.

turn burner off and move food to
another area of the cooking grate.
Any flames will quickly subside.
After flames subside, relight the grill.

when "well done" is about to become
"overdone."

your food evenly and keep it from
sticking to the cooking grate. Always
brush or spray oil onto your food, not
directly onto the cooking grate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SOLUTIONS
Be sure that there is gas flow to the burner by attempting to match light your burner. Refer to "BURNER IGNITION—
Lighting with a Match." If match lighting is successful, the problem lies in the ignition system. Refer to "MAINTAINING THE
PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SYSTEM."
Be sure the tip of the igniter electrode is adjusted to the proper distance from the holes in the burner tube. Refer to
"MAINTAINING THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION SYSTEM."
Fuel could be low or empty. Replace LPG cartridge.
Clean burner ports that run down the entire length of burner tube. Refer to "ANNUAL MAINTENANCE."
Inspect spider/insect screen for possible obstructions. (Blockage of holes.) Clean spider/insect screen.
Refer to "ANNUAL MAINTENANCE."
Grill must be preheated with burner on high for 5 to 10 minutes.
Clean the cooking grate thoroughly to remove grease. Refer to "CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL."
The cookbox may be dirty. Clean cookbox. Refer to "CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL."
The inside of the lid is porcelain-enameled. It is not painted. It cannot "peel." What you are seeing is baked-on grease that
has turned to carbon and is flaking off. THIS IS NOT A DEFECT. Clean thoroughly. Refer to "CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE
GRILL."
PREHEATING
Preheating the grill before grilling is important. To preheat:
Light your grill according to the instructions in this Owner's
Guide; then turn burner to start/high ( ) position, close
the lid, and preheat grill. This will take 5 to 10 minutes
depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind.
After preheating, you can adjust the burner as desired.
m WARNING: Should the burner go out
while grill is in operation, turn burner
control knob to the off position. Turn the
regulator control knob to the off position
Open the lid and wait five minutes before
attempting to relight grill, using the
igniting instructions.
COVERED COOKING
All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform,
evenly circulated heat. With the lid closed, the gas grill
cooks much like a convection oven. All preheating and
grilling is done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost
every time you lift the lid.
