Important Safety Instructions
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 • Do not try lighting this appliance without
precautions, including the following:
reading the lighting instructions in this guide.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not store items of interest to children
around or below the cooking center, in the
cart or built-in enclosure.
• 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.
• Never allow children to crawl inside a cart
or enclosure.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
• 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.
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.
• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote
flare-ups.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
• 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 • Clean the grill with caution. To avoid steam

holders touch hot portions of the grill rack or
burner grates.
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 lean over an open grill.
• 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.
• 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!
• 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.
• 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)
• 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.
• 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.

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:
• 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

exchange system, be sure to exchange this
tank for a similarly equipped tank.
• 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.
• 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 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

The Grill
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center
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.
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.
Lava rock
(on some models)
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.
The intense radiant heat from the ceramic
briquettes caramelizes the fats and juices that
are brought to the surface of the food, giving it (See the Rotisserie section for placement when

The ceramic briquettes are in two separate
stainless steel trays located under the grill
Make sure the briquettes are in place in the trays
so that they do not cover the holes in the trays.
WARNING: IMPORTANT!
Before
lighting
the grill
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.
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.
For LP use, the pressure regulator and hose
assembly supplied with the unit must be used.
Turn all knobs to OFF then turn on the gas
supply.
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.

The Grill
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center
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.
1. Check to be certain the drip tray is in place.
Using the
grill
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.)
Grilling
hints
• 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.
• 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.
• Always ensure that the meat is thoroughly
cooked by using a meat thermometer.
• 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.

Range-Top Burners
Stainless Steel Outdoor Cooking Center
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.
Range-top
burners
(on some models)
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.
First remove the burner cover, by lifting up and
to the side, or any cooking utensils from the
burner grate.

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.
Flame
height
• 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.

tightening the thumb screw.
24″ model rotisserie assembly
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 smoke
flavor tray
(on some models)
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.
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.
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.
Wood chips
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.
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.
To minimize the possibility of burns do not
remove the smoker tray when hot.
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.

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

attempting to clean. Clean the grease from the
pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
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.

burns do not clean a hot grate. They may be
wiped while in place with hot, soapy water,
rinsed and wiped dry. Never immerse a hot
grate in water.
Burner
grates
(on some models)
Due to rapid temperature changes the
porcelain may pop off the edges of the grates.
Do not be concerned as the base metal, cast
iron, soon darkens to blend with the porcelain
enamel. Use care when wiping areas where the
enamel has popped off. The edges may be sharp.
If you remove the grates for cleaning, care should be taken
in lifting them. They are very heavy. Place the grates on a
protected surface.
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
stainless steel surface.
For hard to clean soil, or film layers of grease,
use a stainless steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami®.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse
thoroughly and dry. Always scrub lightly in

Before replacing an igniter perform this
simple test.
If there is a spark, examine the wire of the
electrode for cracks and cuts. Also examine
the electrode for grease and debris or see if the
electrode tip is bent. Is the tip sparking to the
top of the electrode bracket?
Replacing
a rotary
igniter
1. Remove the drip tray (on some models).
2. From underneath the valve panel, look
upwards and locate the end of the igniter
wire, where it is connected. Disconnect the
wire and place the metal blade of a
screwdriver about 1/8″ from the terminal
of the rotary igniter.
The rotary igniter may be replaced from the
front by removing the drip pan (on some
models) and reaching behind the valve panel
to unplug the igniter wire. Remove the igniter
knob and the two mounting screws. (Reverse
the procedure to replace.) If removing the
valve panel is necessary begin by removing all
the control knobs, then remove the 4 corner
screws of the valve panel.
3. Turn the igniter knob. If the igniter is good,
a spark will jump across to the screwdriver.
If there is no spark, replace the igniter.
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or
orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.
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, damaging the cooking
center and making it unsafe for use.
You should inspect the burners at least once a
year or immediately if any of the following
conditions occur:
