WARNING
OPERATING THE GRILL:
Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:

In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surfaces of your grill. Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should operate it for 15 minutes on HIGH to burn off residual oils.

PREHEATING THE GRILL:

Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the main burner control knobs to the HIGH position for 10 to 15 minutes.

CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs close the lid and turn off the main burners until the grease burns out. Use caution when re-opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.

WARNING
DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use. DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill. DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups. Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.

TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking. Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly. Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the drain hole in the bottom and into drip pan.

INDIRECT COOKING:
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the other (unlit) side of the grill.

11

ROTISSERIE COOKING:
Your grill was pre-drilled from factory to include mounting holes for a Brinkmann rotisserie (sold separately). Do not use a rotisserie not specifically manufactured for this grill. Read and follow all instructions provided with the rotisserie. Save instructions for future reference. Do not use the side burner when using a rotisserie.

WARNING
When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes: In the US: The National Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA No. 70 Latest Edition In Canada: the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 Only use a Brinkmann Rotisserie manufactured specifically for use with this grill. The Rotisserie is equipped with a three pronged plug for your protection against electrical shock. This plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3 prong receptacle. Never cut or remove the grounding plug. Any extension cord must also have a 3 prong receptacle. All electrical supply cords should be kept away from water and any hot surfaces of the grill.

USING OTHER FEATURES OF THE GRILL:

THE SIDE BURNER:
The side burner can be used to prepare side dishes such as beans, potatoes, corn, or to warm sauces. The burner valve can be adjusted from high to low depending upon your cooking demands.

WARNING
Read instructions on lighting your grill to light the side burner. Never close the side burner cover when the burner is lit. Use a 10" diameter pot or smaller that does NOT have an extended handle when cooking on the side burner. Center pot over burner. Never place more than 15 pounds on the side burner. The side burner is not constructed to hold weight exceeding 15 pounds. Use caution to avoid bumping grill, side burner or pot to prevent pot from spilling contents possibly leading to severe burns. DO NOT use side burner to deep fry food in oil to avoid dangers associated with oil igniting creating a very dangerous situation.

12

WARNING
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:
Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces. Make sure that cylinder valve is shut off. After moving the grill check that all gas connections are free of leaks. Refer to instructions for leak test on page 7 of this manual. DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (filled or empty) under or near the grill. Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill. DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water. If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder. Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

SMOKER BOX:
To obtain your favorite smoke flavor when grilling or smoking, experiment by using chips of flavor producing wood such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry or mesquite. Most fruit or nut tree wood may be used for smoke flavoring. Do not use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste. Unless wood is still green, soak the wood chips in water for 30 minutes to produce more smoke and prevent the wood from burning too quickly. Experiment by using more wood for stronger smoke flavor or less wood for milder smoke flavor.
NOTE: Turn smoker box upside down when not in use to prevent grease build-up. Follow the instructions listed below.

BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:

Ensure that the fuel supply tank valve is fully closed. Clean all surfaces. Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting. If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS. Place a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank outdoors in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight. If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather. A grill cover can be purchased by contacting: The Brinkmann Corporation at 1-800-527-0717.

HARDWARE
Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.

CASTINGS
Remove the cooking grills, heat shields, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.

BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE
Although your burners are constructed of cast iron, they may rust as a result of the extreme heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners and could possibly result in a burner tube fire. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve. Remove cooking grills and heat shields. Remove cotter pins from beneath each burner "foot" using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook to run through each burner tube and flame port several times NOTE: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 6. 6. Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole. 7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt. 8. Check burner for damage, if any large cracks or holes are found replace burner. IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. 9. Carefully replace burners. 10. Replace cotter pin beneath each burner. 11. Replace heat shields and cooking grills.
