• The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 L.P. gas cylinder valve outlet (see item [F], Fig. 1).
• A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a back-check valve which does not permit gas flow, until a positive seal hasbeen obtained.
• The cylinder must be arranged in an upright position for vaporwithdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Asafety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space ofcylinder must be provided. This will expel high pressure gas if thecylinder is over filled or overheated which could result in fire orexplosion.
• All refillable L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall beconstructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for L.P.Gas Cylinders of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or theNational Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres andTubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, asapplicable; and shall be provided with a listed overfilling preventiondevice, and a cylinder connection device compatible with theconnection for outdoor cooking appliances.
• Read labels on the L.P. Gas Supply Cylinder.• New refillable cylinders are always shipped empty for safety.• Allow only qualified L.P. gas dealers to fill or repair your refillable L.P. gas
supply cylinder.• Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled.• Caution the gas dealer not to overfill the cylinder.• After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief
valve remains free to function.
CAUTIONHave the gas dealer weigh the cylinder after filling to ensure that thecylinder is not over filled.
L.P. Gas Cylinder
Fig. 2
Liquefied Petroleum gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane), is highlyflammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside acylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air andtends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leakingconnections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see thesection titled “LEAK TESTING”).
Portable LP gas grills require a fuel delivery system which is comprisedof a valve [A], a hose [B], a regulator [C] with vent hole [G], an L.P. gassupply cylinder [D], a Type 1 coupling nut [E] and a Type 1 cylinder valve[F], (Fig. 1).

WARNING• Keep the grill area clean and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors, liquids, and spare L.P. cylinders.
• To avoid the possibility of tipping over the grill, NEVERplace more than 10 pounds on the side table. A filled 4-quart aluminum pot weighs approximately 10 pounds.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.• Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the L.P. cylinder
enclosure free and clear of debris.• A barbecue grill becomes hot during use. DO NOT touch
grates, or cooking surfaces.• Be sure to tighten all hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.)
at least once a year or before each grilling season.
General Use and Correct Burner Flames
Condition The Grill• Before using the grill for the first time, or after storage, operate
the grill 15 minutes on the high setting with the lid closed, to burn away oil.
• Once the oil has burned away, check the burner flame per thenext step.
The Burner Flame• Open the grill lid. The cooking grates should be in place.• Keep your arms and face away from being directly above the
cooking area. Look through the cooking grates and observe the burner’s flame below the heat tents.
• Flames should appear similar to the good flame shown in Fig. 49 and as follows:
• A good flame should be blue with a yellow tip.• Some yellow tips on flames up to 1 inch in length are
acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.• If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue
may not be completely burned off, or the venturi may be clogged or may not be properly positioned over the orifices.Allow the grill to cool before repositioning the venturi over the valve and orifices.
The Burner Flame (continued)
• Grills that have been in use for a while sometimes begin to show more yellow flame. A build-up of food deposits, fats or cooking seasonings can cause yellowing flames.Clean the burner to remove residue and check for clogged burner holes or a blocked venturi. Refer to the section titled “Cleaning the Venturi”.
• Regular use of your grill will actually help keep it operating more smoothly.
• Each grill may heat differently. Some units will heat somewhat more to the center and back of the grill. The flavor of grilled food will improve the more you use the grill and as youbecome familiar with it.

Burner Control Setting Tips• The high flame setting is too hot for direct cooking. The high
flame setting is good for quick searing of meat, then finishcooking on medium or low flame settings.
• Use the high flame setting with the lid closed to preheat the grill for 5 minutes before cooking and with the lid closed for a maxi-mum of 5 minutes after cooking to burn off grease drippings.
• Use a medium flame setting for direct cooking of steaks, pork chops, chicken and hamburgers.
• Use a low flame setting for roasts and rotisserie foods.• Thick steaks will finish with a better texture and more juice if
first seared on high flame setting and then cooked on a low flame setting.
Safe Grill Operation• NEVER leave cooking food unattended. Continually observing
the food will help in maintaining an even temperature, conserve fuel, improve the food’s flavor and lessen flare-ups.
• To open the grill lid, slowly lift the handle to avoid burning in case of a grease fire flare-up.
• DO NOT expose any part of your body directly above thecooking area.
Food Preparation HintsYour grill can cook a variety of foods. For best results, follow theseinstructions:• Trim excess fat from meat and poultry. Slash any remaining fat
to stop curling, but take care not to cut the meat.• Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed prior to cooking.• Frozen fish and vegetables will cook without thawing.• Salt food after cooking to help prevent drying out the food.• Brush naturally lean meats with cooking oil or margarine.• Cook small pieces of tender foods in foil or on special delicate-
food cooking grates (see the section titled “Cooking Methods”).• Apply barbecue, tomato or sugar-based sauces no sooner than
the last 10 minutes of cooking.• Turn food with tongs or a spatula; piercing food (especially
meat), tends to dry it out.

Direct Method:• The heat source is directly below the food.• Use for browning meat or cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, but
check food frequently.• Use for skillet and stir-fry cooking, but limit the amount of oil
and heat to be used.• Cook roasts, turkey or duck on low heat. Place meat with
water in a foil pan with a corrugated bottom. Replenish wateras needed.
Indirect Method:• Light only one side of the burner and place food on the
opposite side for cooking.• Allow food to cook at a lower temperature which increases
tenderness and reduces grease flare-ups.• It is a good method for cooking foods that burn easily (vegetables,
fish, etc.).• Cook casseroles in ovenware or foil pans much like
cooking in a conventional oven.• Also try placing a pan of water above the lit burner side to
help meat retain its juices. Replenish the water as needed.
Cooking Methods
In Case of Grease Fire
Follow These Steps:1. Shut off the gas at the burner valve(s) and stay away!2. Allow the fire to burn itself out.3. Once the fire is out and the appliance has cooled, shut off the
L.P. cylinder valve.4. Clean all parts and inspect for damage. Parts to check for
damage are the L.P. cylinder, cylinder valve, regulator, gassupply hose, burner valve(s) and burner(s).
5. If any of the above mentioned components are damaged, seekreplacement from Coleman before operating the grill again.Locate your nearest service center by calling 1-800-356-3612.
Note:• Some flare-up adds a smoky flavor and sears food. Excessive
grease fires can cause a potentially hazardous situation anddamage the grill.
• Avoid excessive flare-ups by preheating the grill with the lidclosed for 5 minutes on the high setting to burn off grease fromprevious cooking.
• Cook with the lid down and continually monitor cooking food toavoid grease fires and flare-ups.
• Trimming excess fat from meat will reduce grease fires and flare-ups. Cook fatty meat in smaller amounts over indirect heat on alow setting.
• Be sure to follow the instructions in the section titled “Care,Maintenance, and Cleaning”.
Care, Maintenance and Cleaning
DRIP TRAYThe drip tray is located below the grill and should be cleanedperiodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.
NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclementweather unless it is covered (cover sold separately). Rainwater can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the driptray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after useand the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with watercausing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. Werecommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.
COOKING GRATESThe cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking iscompleted and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue mitt andscrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed tocool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from thegrill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
17
CAUTIONAll cleaning and maintenance should be done only when thegrill is cool & with the fuel supply turned off at the cylinder.
Suggested Cleaning Materials:• Mild dishwashing liquid detergent • Hot water • Wire brush • Paper clip • Nylon cleaning pad • Soft brass-bristled brush • Putty knife • Scraper
Component Cleaning:• BURNER: Wire-brush loose corrosion from the burner exterior.
Clean clogged gas port holes with an opened paper clip.Replace corroded or damaged burners that would emit excess gas.
• STAINLESS STEEL: Clean with any multipurpose (low abrasive, non phosphorous) metal polish or stainless steel polish and a softcloth to prevent marring or scratching the surface. NEVER USE OVEN CLEANER!
• COOKING GRATES: Clean cooking grates with mild soap and hot water. Remove stubborn residue with a mild cleanser or scrub brush. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
• HEAT TENTS: Wipe off grease residue using a cleaning pad and a brass-bristle brush to knock off residue. Replace heat tents to their correct position.
• GRILL INTERIOR: Remove grates and heat tents.Scrape side with tools and remove excess grease and cooking residue.
Care, Maintenance and Cleaning (continued)
REPRESENTATIVE ILLUSTRATION
WARNINGSpider’s nests or wasp’s mud inside the venturi may causefire at the valve. If a fire occurs, immediately turn off thegas supply at the L.P. cylinder valve (see representativeillustration in Fig. 51).
Note:Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside theventuri tubes. This especially occurs in late summer and fall beforefrost when spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gasflow and cause a fire in and around the burner valves. Such a firecan cause operator injury and serious damage to the grill. To helpprevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspectthe venturi tubes often (once or twice a month). NOTE: Water or airpressure will not normally clear a spider web.
Steps For Cleaning Venturi:1. To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory flexible venturi
brush or bend a small hook on one end of a 20-inch long flexible wiresuch as the one shown in Fig. 52.
Fig. 51
Fig. 52
STAINLESS STEELAfter initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intenseheat given off by the burners, this is normal and not considereda defect.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction ofthe grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaceof the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a wornappearance. For removal, use an non-abrasive oven cleaner inconjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT (FOR IGNITER):
The igniter is powered by a standard 9 Volt battery. To replace thebattery, locate the igniter module by opening the right side door.The igniter module is located near the top edge of the right sidepanel. When installing a fresh battery, observe polarity as markedon the igniter module and push in firmly (Fig. 50).
