Use only regulators and hose approved for LPG at the above pressures 30
mbar. The life expectancy of the regulator is estimated as 10 years. It is
recommended that the regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of
manufacture. Please check production date on your instructions.

Some yellow tips on flames up to 1 inch in length are acceptable as long as
no carbon or soot deposits appear.
·
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 you become familiar with it.
Grilling Tips and Hints
Burner Control Setting Tips:
·
The high flame setting is good for quick searing of meat, then finish cooking
on medium or low flame settings.
·
Use a medium flame setting for cooking of steaks, pork chops, chicken and
hamburgers.
·
Use a low flame setting for roasts.
·
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
Food Preparation Hints
Your grill can cook a variety of foods. For best results, follow these
instructions:
·
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.
Follow These Steps:
1. Shut off the gas at the burner valve and stay away!
2. Allow the fire to burn itself out.
3. Once the fire is out and the appliance has cooled, remove the disposable
cylinder.
4. Clean all parts and inspect for damage. Parts to check for damage are the
L.P. cylinder, regulator, burner valve, and the burner.
5. If any of the above mentioned components are damaged, seek repair from
Goldchef before operating grill again. Do not replace any component by
yourself.
Note:
·
Some flare-up adds a smoky flavor and sears food. Excessive grease fires
can cause a potentially hazardous situation and damage the grill.
·
Trimming excess fat from meat will reduce grease fires and flare-ups. Cook
fatty meat in smaller amounts over indirect heat on a low setting.
·
Be sure to follow the instructions in the section titled "Care,
Maintenance, and Cleaning”.
Suggested Cleaning Materials
·
Mild dish washing liquid detergent
·
Wire brush (Nylon cleaning pad)
·

ignite.
3. Regulator failure; regulator needs to be replaced by an authorized service
dealer.
4. Make sure the regulator and cylinder are properly assembled. See the
section titled "Installing 1 Ib. Propane Cylinders.”
Problem:
Flame blows out on low setting or has uneven heat distribution
Possible Causes and Solutions:
1. Cold grill needs to be preheated for 2 minutes on high setting.
2.Cold and windy weather will require you to move the grill away from the

cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and tends to
collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking connections on
your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see the section titled "LEAK
TESTING ")
·
Portable L.P. gas grills require a fuel delivery system which is comprised of a
valve, a regulator with vent hole an L.P. gas supply cylinder.
·

marked in accordance with the
Specifications for L P. Gas Cylinders
of
the U.S Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of
Canada,
CAN/CSA-B339
,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission
, as
applicable; and a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection
for outdoor cooking appliances.
·
Read labels on the L.P. Gas Supply Cylinder.
DANGER
·
NEVER store a spare L.P. gas supply cylinder under the grill body or
inside the grill enclosure or in the vicinity of any heat producing appliance.
