Grill and Stovetop

Important Safety Information

The grill and the stovetop burners have pilot lights without safety shutoffs. The first thing that you must do when you turn on the propane is to light the pilot lights, to avoid a dangerous buildup of propane gas. The grill has four pilot lights, and the stovetop has two pilot lights, one for each burner. Alternately, you can turn off the propane to the individual appliances using the red valves under the appliances.

Lighting the stovetop

There are two pilot lights, one for each burner on the stovetop. Light them first.

Lighting the Grill

The grill has four pilot lights, deep inside the unit. It is very difficult to light the pilot lights from the holes in the front panel, although it may be possible with the very long fireplace matches.

Grill Controls

The grill has four burners and four pilot lights. Each burner is controlled by a knob on the front panel.

The grill has a grease collection tray on the left side that should be emptied before the truck is driven, to avoid a messy grease spill.

Shutting off propane to the stovetop, grill, and convection ovens

There are individual propane shutoff valves in the compartments below the appliances, each marked with a label.

Exhaust System

The grill has an exhaust system with two 110VAC fans. The switches are located on the left wall near the front of the kitchen.

To prevent the entry of insects, and to keep the cab free of grease, keep the doors closed, including the back door, the door between the kitchen and the cab, and the right front door. Use the fans to control the temperature if necessary.

Note that there are roof vents which may be opened for ventilation; you will probably need to open one or more if a fan is running, to provide fresh air.

Cleaning the Grill

It is easiest to clean the grill if it is still warm, perhaps 200 degrees F. Usually the cleaning starts with water on the grill, and using a scraper to get most of the residue off. The grill is then cleaned with a Scotchbrite pad and grill oil. Wipe off excess oil with a rag. A film of oil on the grill will prevent rust. Cleaning supplies are found under the sink.

Be sure to empty the grease tray under the left hand side of the grill, see photo above.
