ACCESSING AND REMOVING LIQUID
PROPANE CYLINDER
Open access door and pull locking pin up and out of inner locking hole. Swing tank out until locking
pin drops into outer locking hole. This will hold the tank mounting mechanism in place while the
LP cylinder is being changed.
FILL LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
We recommend that you refill the LP cylinder before it is completely empty.
Removal of the LP cylinder
1) Close cylinder valve (turn clockwise).
2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise, by hand only.
3) Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock up out of the way.
4) Lift cylinder off.
To refill, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.
ƽ WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an
authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the
cylinder by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
ƽ CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make sure the plastic
dust cover is in place over the valve. This will keep dust and dirt from
the threaded portion of the valve.
Note - The liquid propane cylinder manufacturer is responsible for the
materials, workmanship and performance of the cylinder. If the cylinder has
a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the cylinder, call
the cylinder manufacturer’s customer service center. The phone number is
on the warning decal, which is permanently attached to the cylinder. If the
cylinder manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, then
contact Customer Service toll free at 1 (866) VIELUXE
SM
.
Tell your liquid propane dealer that this is a new liquid propane cylinder.
The air must be removed from a new liquid propane cylinder before the
initial filling. Your liquid propane cylinder dealer is equipped to do this.
The liquid propane cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an
upright position, and should not be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the liquid propane cylinder where temperatures
can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not
leave the liquid propane cylinder in a car on a hot day).
For full instructions on safe handling of liquid propane cylinders, see
page 13.

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION
Failure to follow these DANGER statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
ƽDANGER
ƽNEVER store a spare LP Cylinder under or near this grill. ƽNEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full.
Your Vieluxe
®
gas grill is equipped with a cylinder supply system designed for vapor withdrawal.
ƽWARNING: Only use this grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
The LP cylinder supplied with your grill is equipped with an OPD (Over filling Prevention Device) and a
QCC1 or Type 1 (CGA810) cylinder connection. The cylinder connection is compatible with the grill
connection.
This is a secondary device to prevent the over filling of
your LP cylinder. The proper filling methods for the filling
of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as described in
NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station fills your
LP cylinder by weight or volume. Ask your filling station to
read purging and filling instructions on the LP cylinder
before attempting to fill.
ƽWARNING: Do not exchange the LP tank provided
with your grill, unless the exchange LP tank is
equipped with an OPD. Otherwise you will lose the
OPD (Over filling Prevention Device) feature. If there
is not an LP tank available for exchange equipped
with an OPD, we recommend that you have your LP
tank filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a
qualified attendant.
Raises up while filling
then stops when full.
CHECKING THE FUEL LEVEL IN YOUR TANK
Check the fuel level by viewing the color indicator level line on the side of the tank scale.
1) Empty
2) Medium
3) Full

CONNECT FILLED LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
ƽ WARNING: Make sure that the cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning clockwise.
We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is
the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front. The other tanks
mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. Both types of tanks are illustrated below.
Hook the liquid propane cylinder onto the fuel gauge.
Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock
down. Tighten the wing nut.
Remove plastic dust cover from the fuel cylinder valve.
Screw the regulator coupling onto the cylinder valve(1),
clockwise, or to the right. Hand tighten only.
Note: This is a new type of connection. It tightens
clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the
connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by
hand only.
ƽ WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator
coupling and could cause a gas leak.
SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS
CYLINDERS
Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular
temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is
released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas.You should be aware of this odor.
LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up "gas-propane" in the phone book for other sources of LP
gas.
ƽWARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified
attendant, who fills the tank by weight.
IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.
ƽWARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder,
make sure you get a similar tank in return.Your
LP cylinder is equipped with a quick closing
coupling or type 1 valve and an OPD (Over filling
Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders may not
be compatible with your grill connection.
Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before
the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.
The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and
stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not
be dropped or handled roughly.
Never store or transport the LP cylinder where
temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by
hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a
car on a hot day).
Note - A refill will last about 8-10 hours of cooking time
at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane
supply so you can refill before running out. You do not
have to run out before you refill.
(1)
14
Treat "empty" LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still
may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.
ƽCAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the
valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion of the valve.
Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be
hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.
Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)
The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is
reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled.
Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water. This
vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.
The LP cylinder and connections supplied with your Vieluxe
®
grill have been designed and tested to meet
government, American Gas Association, and Underwriters Laboratories requirements.
Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements
Replacement LP cylinders supplied by Vieluxe
®
satisfy the above requirements. Check to be sure other cylinders
have a D.O.T. certification(1), and date tested(2) is within five years. Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.
If you have questions about spare LP cylinders contact Customer Service toll free at 1 (866) VIELUXE
SM
.
All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size (18 1/4 inches high, 12 1/4 inches in diameter).
The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).
ƽWARNING:You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

.
Open the lid.
ƽDANGER
Failure to open the lid while igniting the grill, or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the grill
does not light, may result in an explosive flare-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
Make sure all burner control knobs are turned OFF. (Push control knob down and turn clockwise to ensure that it
is in the OFF position.)
ƽ WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the OFF position before turning on the liquid propane
cylinder tank valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the "excess
gas flow control" feature will activate, limiting the flow of gas from the LP cylinder. If this should occur, turn
OFF the LP cylinder valve and burner control knobs. Then start over.
ƽ DANGER:
When the "excess gas flow control" feature is activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners.
After turning OFF the cylinder and burner control knobs, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before
attempting to light the grill. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause serious
bodily injury or death.
Note - Cover the rotisserie burner with rotisserie burner cover when not in use.

The
Vieluxe
®
smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and
chops, etc., we recommend using finer wood chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking
foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and
provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your Vieluxe
®
smoker, we encourage you to
experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.
To use the Vieluxe
®
smoker
As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet wood will produce more smoke
flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body(1). As you gain
experience in smoking, increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste.
Note - Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.
Cleaning the Vieluxe
®
smoker
Before each use, empty the Vieluxe
®
smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.
Note - Smoking will leave a "smoke" residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will
not affect the function of the Vieluxe
®
smoker. To a lesser degree a "smoke" residue will accumulate on the inside of
your Vieluxe
®
gas grill. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your
Vieluxe
®
gas grill.
ƽ DANGER
Do not use any flammable fluid in the Vieluxe
®
smoker to ignite the wood. This will cause
serious bodily injury.
Place wood in here
USING THE VIELUXE

SMOKER
Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for Lighting The Smoker Burner on page 20. (Summary lighting
instructions are printed on a card inside of the right hand access door.) After wood starts to smolder turn control
knob to low.
Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you require more smoke flavor, refill the
smoker with wood chips and /or chunks. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking.
Note - After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again.
The

ROTISSERIE
Important safeguards
ƽWARNINGS
Read all instructions before using your rotisserie.
This rotisserie is for outdoor use only.
Remove motor and store in a dry place when not in use.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use barbecue mitts.
This rotisserie is not for use by children.
To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse cord, plugs, or motor in water or other liquids.
Unplug the motor from outlet when not in use or before cleaning.
Do not use rotisserie for other than intended use.
Make sure motor is off before placing it on the motor bracket.
Do not operate the rotisserie motor with a damaged cord or plug.
Do not operate the rotisserie motor if it should malfunction.
The rotisserie motor is equipped with a three prong (grounding) power cord for your protection against shock hazard.
The power cord should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. If use of an extension
cord is required, be sure that it is a minimum 16 AWG, 3 wire well insulated cord, marked for OUTDOOR USE ONLY
and properly grounded.
When using an extension cord, make sure it is not in contact with a hot or sharp surface.
Outdoor extension cords should be marked with the letters “W-A” and a tag stating “Suitable for use with outdoor
appliances”.
Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the rotisserie motor power cord.
Do not let cord hang over any sharp edge or hot surface.
Do not expose to rain.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.
A short power cord is supplied to reduce the risk of tripping over the cord. Extension cords may be used, but caution
must be taken to prevent tripping over the cord.
In absence of local codes the rotisserie motor must be grounded electrically in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Note - Before using your Vieluxe
®
rotisserie, measure your food at the widest point. If it exceeds 9 1/2”, it is
too large to fit the rotisserie. If it is too large, food can be prepared using a roast holder and the Indirect
Cooking Method.
26
ƽWARNING: Setup up the rotisserie with food before lighting rotisserie burner.
Operating
1 Remove rotisserie shaft from grill. Remove one spit fork.
2. Push the rotisserie shaft through the center of the food.
3. Slide the spit fork onto the shaft. Insert the tines of both spit forks into the food. The food should be centered on
the shaft. Tighten the spit fork screws
4. Place the motor in the bracket, slide to lock (see page 24, step 2. Attach the motor).
5. Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Place the handle end of the rotisserie onto the
support rollers (see page 24, step 4. Insert the rotisserie shaft in the motor).
6. The rotisserie shaft should rotate so that the heavy side of the meat or poultry rotates down to the bottom. Large
cuts may require the removal of the cooking grates and warming rack to allow full rotation of the shaft. Remount the
food if necessary for better balance.
7. Turn the motor on.
Cooking
Meats (except poultry and ground meat) should be brought to room temperature before cooking. (20 to 30
minutes should be adequate for most foods. If frozen defrost completely before cooking.)
Tie meat or poultry with a string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as possible before putting it on the
spit.
Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow food to turn freely.
Follow lighting instructions for rotisserie burner on next page.
Set rotisserie burner on Med-High based on outside air temperatures.
Place food within area of burner.
If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip pan directly under the food on top of the Flavorizer
®
bars.
USING THE VIELUXE
®
ROTISSERIE
Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie cooking as for regular cooking. Indicated timing in the
cookbook will be the same.
All cooking is done with the lid closed.
If foods are too heavy or are irregular shapes, they may not rotate well and should be cooked by the Indirect
Method without using the rotisserie.
Smoker can be used in conjunction with rotisserie for more smoke flavor. (See Using the Vieluxe
®
smoker on
page 19.)
Note - When using the rotisserie burner, grill thermometer will not reflect the temperature inside the cooking box.

burners for cleaning the screens. Refer to Maintenance, Replacing Main Burners. Brush the Spider/Inspect
screens, lightly, with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).
ƽCaution: Do not clean the Spider/Insect screens with hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the
Spider/Insect screens or enlarge the screen openings.
Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube. Once the Spider/Insect screens and burners are
clean, replace the burners.
If the Spider/Insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, call Customer Service toll free at
1-866-VIELUXE
SM
for replacement parts.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to
prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the
air shutter openings.
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least
once a year. Also inspect and clean the Spider/Insect screens if any
of the following symptoms should ever occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing
yellow and lazy.
2. Grill does not reach temperature.
3. Grill heats unevenly.
4. One or more of the burners do not ignite.

GRILLING METHODS
NOTE: If grill looses heat while cooking refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.
You can adjust the LEFT and RIGHT burners as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or
Off (O) are described in your cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of the LEFT
and RIGHT burners.
If burners go out during cooking, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
ƽWARNING: Check the bottom tray and catch pan for grease build-up before each use. Remove excess
grease to avoid a grease fire in the bottom tray.
Preheating the grill before grilling is important. Light your Vieluxe
®
gas grill according to the instructions in this Owner’s Manual
or the Summary lighting instructions located inside of the right hand access door. Turn both burners in each Heat Zone to
High (HH), close the lid, and preheat grill with the lid down until grill thermometer reaches 550ºF. This is the
recommended broiling temperature.
Preheating
Preheating the grill before grilling is very important. Light your Vieluxe
®
gas grill according to the instructions in your
Owner’s Manual. Close the lid and wait until the thermometer in your lid reaches 500˚- 550˚F (260˚- 288˚C). This will
take approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on outside temperatures.
Covered cooking
All grilling is done with the lid down to provide uniform, evenly circulated heat. With the lid closed, the Vieluxe
®
gas
grill cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the lid indicates the cooking temperature inside the grill.
All preheating and grilling is done with the lid down. No peeking — heat is lost every time you lift the lid.
Flavorizer
®
system
When meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled Flavorizer
®
bars, they create smoke that gives foods
an irresistible barbecued flavor. Thanks to the unique design of the burners, Flavorizer
®
bars and the flexible
temperature controls, uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames. Because of the
special design of the Flavorizer
®
bars and burners, excess fats are directed through the funnel-shaped bottom tray
into the grease catch pan.

INDIRECT METHOD
Food is placed on the area of the cooking
grates between the lit burners.
GRILLING METHODS
The most important thing to know about grilling is which cooking
method to use for a specific food, Direct or Indirect. The difference
is simple: place the food directly over the fire, or arrange the fire on
either side of it. Using the right method is the shortest route to great
results—and the best way to ensure doneness safety.
Direct cooking
The Direct Method, similar to broiling, means the food is cooked
directly over the heat source. For even cooking, food should be
turned once halfway through the grilling time.
Use the Direct method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to
cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, vegetables, and more.
Direct cooking is also necessary to sear meats. Searing creates that
wonderful crisp, caramelized texture where the food hits the grate. It
also adds great color and flavor to the entire surface. Steaks, chops,
chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing.
To sear meats, place them over Direct High heat for 2 to 5 minutes
per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time. Usually after
searing you finish cooking the food at a lower temperature. You
can finish cooking fast-cooking foods by the Direct method; use
the Indirect method for longer-cooking foods.
To set up your gas grill for Direct cooking, preheat the grill with all
burners on High. Place food on the cooking grate, and then adjust all
burners to the temperature noted in the recipe. Close the lid of the
grill and lift it only to turn food or to test for doneness at the end of
the recommended cooking time.
Indirect cooking
The Indirect Method is similar to roasting, but with the added benefits
of that grilled texture, flavor, and appearance you can’t get from an
oven. To set up for Indirect cooking, gas burners are lit on either side
of the food but not directly beneath it. Heat rises, reflects off the lid
and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the food
evenly on all sides, much like a convection oven, so there’s no need
to turn the food.
Use the Indirect method for foods that require 25 minutes or more of
grilling time or that are so delicate that direct exposure to the flame
would dry them out or scorch them. Examples include roasts, ribs,
whole chickens, turkeys, and other large cuts of meat, as well as
delicate fish fillets.
To set up your gas grill for Indirect cooking, preheat the grill with all
burners on High. Then adjust the burners on each side of the food to
the temperature noted in the recipe and turn off the burner(s) directly
below the food. For best results, place roasts, poultry, or large cuts
of meat on a roasting rack set inside a disposable heavy-gauge foil
pan. For longer cooking times, add water to the foil pan to keep
drippings from burning. The drippings can be used to make gravies
or sauces.
DIRECT METHOD
Food is placed on the area of the cooking
grates directly over the lit burners.

GRILLING TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS
• Always preheat the grill before cooking. Set all burners on HIGH heat and close lid; heat for 10 minutes, or until
thermometer registers 500˚- 550˚F (260˚- 288˚C).
• Sear meats and cook with the lid down for perfectly grilled food every time.
• Grilling times in recipes are based on 70˚F (20˚C) weather and little or no wind. Allow more cooking time on cold or
windy days, or at higher altitudes. Allow less cooking time in extremely hot weather.
• Grilling times in charts and recipes are approximate. Times can vary because of the weather, or the amount, size
and shape of the food being grilled.
The temperature of your Vieluxe
®
gas grill may run hotter than normal for the first few uses.
• Grilling conditions may require the adjustment of the burner controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures.
• In general, large pieces of meat will require more cooking time per pound than small pieces of meat. Foods on a
crowded cooking grate will require more cooking time than just a few foods. Foods grilled in containers, such as
baked beans, will require more time if grilled in a deep casserole rather than a shallow baking pan.
Trim excess fat from steaks, chops and roasts, leaving no more than a scant
1
4 inch of fat. Less fat makes cleanup
easier, and is a virtual guarantee against unwanted flare-ups.
• Foods placed on the cooking grate directly above burners may require turning or moving to a less hot area.
• Use tongs rather than a fork for turning and handling meats to avoid losing natural juices. Use two spatulas for
handling large whole fish.
• If an unwanted flare-up should occur, turn all burners to OFF and move food to another area of the cooking grate.
Any flames will quickly subside. After flames subside, relight the grill. NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH
FLAMES ON A GAS GRILL.
• Some foods, such as a casserole or thin fish fillets, will require a container for grilling. Disposable foil pans are very
convenient, but any metal pan with ovenproof handles can also be used.
• Always be sure the bottom tray and grease catch pan are clean and free from debris.
• Do not line the funnel-shaped bottom tray with foil. This could prevent the grease from flowing into the grease
catch pan.
• Using a timer will help to alert you when “well-done” is about to become “over-done.
50
COOKING FOR A CROWD
• Select menu items that can be completely or partially prepared in advance — salads, relishes, condiments,
casseroles, breads, cookies, cakes, and pies.
• Grill all-American favorites such as burgers, chicken pieces or quarters, hot dogs or sausages — great tasting and
easy. And don’t forget your favorite barbecue sauce.
• Plan a serving dish and utensils for each food and have those items out, labeled and ready. Set the table for
guests, or assemble a buffet table. Heavy-duty paper plates come in many attractive colors and patterns and will
save dishwashing later.
• Rented beverage coolers and extra tables may be added conveniences to consider.
• Make a list of every food item you will be serving so that nothing will be forgotten.
• Make a time schedule for cooking foods on the grill, plus any supplementary indoor cooking. Working backward
from a planned serving time, decide when to start cooking each food so that everything is ready to serve at the
right time.
• Sometimes foods are grilled at different temperatures. If so, a little logic will determine that vegetables can be
grilled at a lower temperature if cooking time is increased, or a bread can be heated at a higher temperature for a
shorter time. Grill the meat or entree at the specified recipe temperature, making adjustments with vegetables, side
dishes, and breads if necessary.
• Best yet, let everyone lend a hand and have a great time at your own party!
FOOD HANDLING SAFETY
Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat,
fish, and poultry.
• Never place cooked food on the same platter that the raw food was placed on.
• Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
• Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration for more than two hours.
• Do not defrost meat at room temperature or on a countertop.
51
STORAGE
The gas must be turned off at the gas supply when the Vieluxe
®
gas grill is not in use.
When the gas supply is not disconnected from the Vieluxe
®
gas grill, the appliance must be kept outdoors in a
well-ventilated space.
The Vieluxe
®
gas grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before using.
(See Sections: “General Maintenance”)
Check that the areas under the control panel and the slide out bottom tray are free from debris that might
obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
The Spider/Insect screens should also be checked for any obstructions. (See page 4, “General Maintenance”)
CLEANING
ƽWARNING: Turn your Vieluxe
®
gas grill OFF and wait for it to cool before cleaning.
ƽCAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer
®
bars or cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven. For availability of
replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer
®
bars contact Customer Service toll free at 1-866-VIELUXE
SM
.
ƽCAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), cleaners that contain citrus
products, or abrasive cleaning pads on the grill, cart surfaces, or control panel.
Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution to clean, then rinse.
Slide out bottom tray - Remove excess grease, then wash with warm soapy water, then rinse.
Flavorizer
®
bars and cooking grates - Clean with a suitable steel bristle brush. As needed, remove from the grill
and wash with warm soapy water, then rinse with water.
Catch pan - You can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the catch pan, wash with warm soapy water,
then rinse.
Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water; clean with a plastic scrub ball.
Inside cooking module - Brush any debris off of burner tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS
(OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm soapy water, then rinse.
Inside lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel to prevent grease build-up. Flaking built-up grease
resembles paint flakes.
Stainless steel surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a soap and water solution.
Plastic surfaces - Wash with a soft cloth and a soap and water solution.
Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits, or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning.

GRILLING GUIDE
The following cuts, thicknesses, weights, and grilling times are meant to be guidelines rather than hard and fast rules.
Cooking times are affected by such factors as altitude, wind, outside temperature, and desired doneness. Two rules
of thumb: Grill steaks, fish fillets, boneless chicken pieces, and vegetables using the Direct Method for the time given
on the chart or to the desired doneness, turning once halfway through grilling time. Grill roasts, whole poultry, bone-in
poultry pieces, whole fish, and thicker cuts using the Indirect Method for the time given on the chart or until an
instant-read thermometer reaches the desired internal temperature. Cooking times for beef and lamb are for the
USDA’s definition of medium doneness unless otherwise noted. Let roasts, larger cuts of meat, and thick chops and
steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving. The internal temperature of the meat will rise by 5 to 10 degrees
during this time.
