Regulator and Hose

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.

The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you

have the correct items before operating.

The hose and regulator uesd must conform to the relevant standard for the

country of use. The length of the horse must be 0.3m(maximum). Worn or

damaged hose must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed,

kinked, or in contact witn any part of the rotisserie grill other than at its

The Burner Flame Check

Observe whether there is a flame out of the burner, no flame spout, the

burner turns red, prove the burner normal operation. Otherwise it is not

normal.

Keep your arms and face away from being directly above the cooking area.

Look through the cooking grates and observe the burner's flame inside.

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)

Care, Maintenance and Cleaning

Moving and Storage

Troubleshooting

CAUTION

All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool &

with the fuel supply turned off at the cylinder. Disposable propane cylinder

should be detached from the grill during cleaning.

CAUTION

A collision with the grill, as with any metal object, could cause injury. Use care

when moving a portable gas grill.

Moving the grill:

DO NOT move the grill while it is lit or hot, or with objects on the cooking

surface.

Remove the drip tray before moving the grill to prevent spills.

Collapse the grill before moving.

Move the grill slowly.

After moving the grill:

Check all gas connections for leaks that could occur from the movement.

Steps to follow before storing grill:

Clean the grill, including the drip tray.

For outdoor use only. If the grill is stored indoors, detach the cylinder

outdoors. If left outdoors, remove the cylinder and cover the grill for protection

from the weather.

Grill covers may be purchased from a grill dealer or manufacturer.

Problem:

Grill will not light when the igniter button is pushed or flame blows

out.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

1. Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder has fuel.

2. Make sure the burner is turned on. Allow up to four seconds for gas flow to

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

wind.

3. Lack of fuel. Check to see that the cylinder has fuel.

Problem:

Grill too hot.

Possible Causes and solutions:

1. Excessive flareups which require the maintenance described in the section

titled "IN CASE OF GREASE FIRE.”

2. A damaged regulator which requires replacement with factory authorized

parts.

3. Choose a lower cooking temperature if using excessively high settings.

CAUTION

NEVER leave cooking food unattended. Continually observing the food will

help in maintaining an even temperature, conserve fuel, improve the foods

flavor and lessen flare-ups.

To move the grill basket, slowly lift the handle to avoid burning in case of a

grease fire flare-ups.

DO NOT expose any part of your body directly above the cooking area.

Grill Features

Liquefied Petroleum gas (abbreviated L.P. gas propane), is highly

flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a

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.

All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and

marked in accordance with the

Specifications for L P. Gas Cylinders

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.
