Preheating Grill
It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using
it. After lighting, close the lid and preheat the grill on "high" for 10 minutes. This
preheating will ensure that the cooking grid is hot enough for proper grilling.
WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against
possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires can
be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and
bodily harm.
Open or Close Lid for Grilling
Cooking with the lid open or closed is a matter of personal preference. Cooking with
the lid closed is recommended if you enjoy cooking at maximum "searing" tempera-
tures. This method will also speed the cooking process, and will give you a more ro-
bust, smoky, outdoor fl avor. If you prefer cooking slower, with less fl are up, we suggest
the lid-open method.
We recommend always cooking with your lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or
colder climate. Your Ducane ® gas grill has been designed and constructed to give
you maximum fl exibility and cooking performance. Be creative, try different cooking
methods on your grill to determine what suits your needs best...there is no "right" or
"wrong" way to cook...just different individual styles.
WARNING: Please remember that this is an outdoor gas
cooking appliance. Many areas of the grill generate extreme
heat. We have taken every precaution to protect you from
the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all

lighting tube. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing in the control knob and turning to
"START/HI". This will ignite each individual burner.

1. Open the lid and make sure that all burners are in the "OFF" position.
2. Turn main gas supply on.
3. Push the control knob in and turn to "START/HI" until you hear the igniter snap -
continue to hold control knob in for two seconds. This action will spark the igniter,
the burner lighting tube and then main burner.

high-temperature areas. Therefore, use good judgment and
a certain degree of caution when grilling on this product. We
suggest a covered, protected hand during operation of grill.
Do not move your grill when it is in operation or hot to the
touch. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly cooled
down before moving from place to place. Failure to follow
this warning could result in personal injury.
Post-heating Grill
In order to assist cleaning your cook grid and to completely vaporize remaining juices,
post-heat grill for 10 minutes with the burners on "high" and the lid closed.
CAUTION: Do not cover the cook grate during the post-heat-
ing period.
After the post-heating of your grill is completed turn the control knobs to the "OFF"
position.
Propane Tank Shut-Off
After the burner box cools down, the propane tank valve should also be closed. If you
do not want to wait for the burner box to cool down, use a covered hand to turn off the
propane tank valve.
