SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY
When properly cared for, your grill will provide safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care
must be used as the grill produces intense heat that can increase accident potential.
When using this appliance basic safety practices must be followed, including the following:
Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
The grill is for outdoor use only.
The grill is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Do not allow children
to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time.
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or cart. Do not allow children to crawl inside
the cart.
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. The fabric could ignite, causing serious personal injury.
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, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Other
types of materials may shatter with sudden temperature changes. Use only low or medium heat settings in
accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the containers to burst.
Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid. Never lean over an open grill.
When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Make certain you are aware of
which burner you are lighting so that your body and clothing remain clear of open flames.
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surroundings as these areas
become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not allow
potholders to touch hot portions of the grill rack.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease deposits to
collect in the grease tray at the bottom of the grill’s firebox. Clean the grease tray often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill racks or grill bottom. This can severely upset combustion airflow or
trap excessive heat in the control area.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the burner ports clean. It is necessary to clean them
periodically for optimum performance. The burners will only operate in one position and must be mounted
correctly for safe operation.
WARNING
Do not try lighting this appliance without first
reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section
of this manual.
Do not install this unit in combustible enclosures. There should be a minimum clearance of 24 inches from all
sides to combustible materials.
Exercise caution when cleaning grill. 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.
Never use a dented or rusty propane cylinder.
Turn off all control knobs and make certain the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around it. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal
parts to corrode.
Do not use the grill to cook excessively fatty meats or other products, which promote flare-ups.
Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible constructions. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not
use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or other such enclosed areas.
This unit is intended for outdoor use only.
Keep the areas surrounding the grill free from combustible materials including, fluids, trash, and vapors such
as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. If the unit is
stored indoors, make sure it is cool.
Do not use briquettes of any kind in the grill.
This liquid propane gas grill is designed for optimum performance without the use of briquettes. Do not place
briquettes on the flame tamers as this will block the vent to the grill burners. Adding briquettes can damage
ignition components, thus voiding the warranty.
Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris. Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose
away from any heated surface.
Never use the grill in extremely windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront,
mountaintop, etc.), a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the clearance specifications.
PLACEMENT OF THE GRILL
Outdoor cooking appliances should not be used under overhead combustible construction.
When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic
paths, and keeping gas supply lines as short as possible.
Place the grill in well-ventilated areas. Never place the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other
such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke.
Be aware that small insects, spiders, etc. can make nests in the mixing tubes and burners of the appliance
which can cause a burn back to occur.
In the event of burn back, where the flame burns back to the jet, immediately turn off the gas supply at the
burner control valve.
After ensuring that the flame is extinguished, re-light the appliance as described in below. Should the
appliance again burn back, close the valves and examine the mixing tube or burner for any obstruction. If there
are no obstructions and the burn back still occurs, call a technician to examine the appliance and make any
necessary repairs.
Do not make any unnecessary adjustments or modifications to this grill, a qualified LP gas technician should
do any adjustments.

Remove the plastic valve cover from the LP gas cylinder. Make sure the grill gas hoses do not contact the
grease pan or grill firebox when the LP gas cylinder is placed into the cart.
CONNECTING THE LP GAS CYLINDER
To connect the LP Gas Supply Cylinder:
a) The cylinder valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the valve
clockwise until it stops.
b) Make sure the cylinder valve has the proper type internal thread for a “bullnose” regulator.
c) Make sure the burner valves are in the “OFF” position.
d) Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove debris and inspect the hose
for damage.
e) When connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, use your hand to tighten the nut clockwise
until it stops. Use of a wrench could damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous
situation.
f) Open the cylinder valve fully by turning the valve counterclockwise.
g) Before lighting the grill, use a soap and water solution to check all the connections for leaks.
h) If a leak is found, turn the cylinder valve “OFF” and do not use the grill until a local Liquid Propane
dealer can make repairs.
WARNING
Never attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. See your local LP gas dealer for repair.
Please make sure the cylinder valve connection device
shall properly and safely mate with the connection device
attached to the inlet of the pressure regulator.
DISCONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

2. Turn the LP gas cylinder valve “OFF” by turning clockwise until it stops.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the cylinder valve by turning the wheel nut clockwise.
4. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of
dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or
plugs may result in leakage of LP gas.
LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test must be
performed at the installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the
procedures listed below.
If the smell of gas is detected at any time, you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been removed from the grill, including the burner tie-down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Do not use the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak. Do not smoke while leak testing. Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or
rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the Liquid Propane Cylinder is
full.
TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valves off.
2. Turn the LP gas cylinder valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply “OFF” and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back “ON” and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply “OFF” and contact
customer service at +27 12 802 1515.
7. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the
outdoor cooking gas appliance being put into operation.

General Use of the Grill
Each main burner is rated at 13,500 BTU/Hr. The main grill burners encompass the entire cooking area
and are side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and debris. Above the burners are flame
tamers. The igniter knobs are located on the center portion of the valve panel. Each rotary igniter is
labeled on the control panel.
Using the Grill
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at a “HI” heat setting
for their 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 method cooks the food thoroughly without
burning the outside.
Food cooked for a long time or basted with a sugar-based marinade may need a lower heat setting near
the end of its cooking time.
To begin:
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly placed. (See page 18.)
2. Remove any remaining packing materials.
3. Light the grill burners using the Lighting Instructions on next page.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Stainless Steel
There are many stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning process first,
scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the surface. To touch up
noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit sand paper in the direction of
the grain.
Grease specks can gather and bake onto the surfaces of the stainless steel, giving the appearance of rust.
For removal, use an abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner.
Cooking Grates
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and the flames have been
turned off.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from heat and steam.
Scrub the hot cooking grates by dipping a bristled barbeque brush in tap water. Cleaning will be more
difficult if the grill is allowed to cool.
Grease Pan
The grease pan should be emptied, wiped down and washed after each use with a mild detergent and
warm water solution. Check the grease pan frequently and do not allow excess grease to accumulate and
flow out of the grease pan.
Grill Burners
Extreme care should be taken when removing a burner. It must be correctly centered on the orifice
before any attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on how often you use
the grill.
Failure to properly place the burner over the orifice could cause a fire to occur behind and beneath the
valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
Before cleaning, make sure the gas supply and control knobs are in the “OFF” position and the burners
have cooled.
To remove the main burners for cleaning:
1. Locate the burner screw at the rear of the firebox.
2. Remove the screw and lift the burner out of the firebox.

LOW
IGNITE
/ HIGH
To clean the grill burners:
1. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush.
Use a metal scraper for stubborn stains or debris.
2. Clear clogged ports with a straightened paper clip.
Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off
and clog the port.
3. Check and clean burners / venture tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath,
and behind the main control panel.
To reinstall the main burners:
1. Insert the burner over the main burner gas valve (part# 15 on Page
26).
2. Make sure the orifice stud (A) is inside the burner venture (B) as shown in Fig.24.
3. Align the burner screw hole with the firebox hole, insert screw and tighten.
Flame Characteristics
Check for proper burner flame characteristics. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips,
Flame Characteristics and Setting of Flame
Check for proper burner flame characteristics. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips,
excessive noise, or lifting as shown in Fig. 25. The following steps should be followed for correcting the
flame characteristics:
1. Turn the control knobs and Liquid Propane Cylinder valves “OFF.”
2. Allow the grill and burners to cool.
3. If the flame is yellow (not enough air), turn the adjustment screw found at the front of the burner
counterclockwise.
4. If the flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner (too much air), turn the adjustment screw
clockwise.
5. If these adjustments do not correct the problem, contact customer service at +27 12 802 1515.

Grill will not light.
1. Push and turn the knob and check for sparks.
2. If there is a spark, check to make sure gas is supplied to the
burner.
a. Purge the line of any trapped air.
b. Check to see if you can match-light the burner.
c. Check to see that the other burners operate normally.
d. Visually check the electrode and wire while pushing the igniter
knob. If a spark occurs anywhere but the igniter tip, the igniter must
be replaced.
Burner flame is yellow and
there is a noticeable gas odor.
1. Check the burner inlet for obstruction, especially for spiders
and other insects.
2. Check the air shutter for proper adjustment.
3. Check for the source of gas leaks.
Excessive flare-ups.
1. Hood up when grilling.
2. Keep knobs on low.
3. Turn one burner off if necessary.
4. Post heat grill for 10-15 minutes, as this will burn off drippings.
5. Use meats containing less fat.
6. Always grill chicken on low, meat side down for 20 minutes and
turn to skin side for another 20 minutes. Follow above steps.
7. If flare up continues, move meats to warming rack until flame
settles down.
8. Never spray water on gas flames—it will destroy your grill.
Burner blows out.
1. Check for any burner defects.
2. Check for proper burner installation.
3. Make certain the fuel mixture is not too lean.
4. Make sure the gas supply is sufficient.
5. See if the LP tank is empty.
Low heat, LP gas.
Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow device,
providing a low flame and low temperature. If the tank valve is
turned open to allow gas flow while a burner valve is open, the
surge of pressure will cause the device to activate. The device will
remain closed until the pressure is equalized. This should occur
within 5 seconds.
To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill,
follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF.”
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
3. Light the burner one at a time following the lighting instructions
listed in the left door and Page 19.
Low heat, natural gas. (NOT
FOR RSA)
Gas pressure is affected by gas line and length of gas line from
house gas line. Follow the recommendations in the chart below.

obstruction.
2. Check for a bent or kinked fuel hose.
3. Make sure the air shutter is properly adjusted.
4. Check for proper gas supply and pressure.
