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
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.
This gauge is calibrated to give a close indication of the grate temperature.
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.

Coupling Nut
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.
An illustration of this process is included in this Product Guide. See Troubleshooting section
for additional information.
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.
