WARNING  
Handle the smoker box with care. The cover becomes extremely  
hot when being used. Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or  
dry potholders.  
SPIDER AND INSECT INFESTATION  
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners/venturi tubes of  
this or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front  
of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition that can  
cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging  
the grill and making it unsafe to operate.  
DANGER  
If you smell gas  
1. Shut off gas to the appliance.  
2. Extinguish any open flames.  
3. Open lid.  
WARNING  
This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in a  
building, garage or any other enclosed areas. This could  
result in carbon monoxide buildup which could result in  
injury or death.  
4. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier.  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
1. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.  
2. Do not store any propane/butane (G31-G30) cylinder  
(that is not connected for use) in the vicinity of this or any  
other appliance.  
CAUTION  
Wait at least five minutes before relighting a hot grill to  
allow any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep a spray bottle of  
soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the  
connections for gas leaks before each use.  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
TO PROTECT AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK  
1. Do not immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquids.  
2. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

cord, plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned. Contact  
the manufacturer for repair.  
The side burner cover may be hot if the grill burners are in  
operation.  
CAUTION  
4. Do not let the cord hang over the edge or touch hot  
surfaces.  
5. Use only extension cords with a 3-prong grounding plug;  
rated for the power of the equipment and approved for  
outdoor use with a W-A marking.  
• Do not use a metal knife or any other metal tool to scrape  
stainless steel parts.  
• Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless  
steel surfaces, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless  
steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.  
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive  
cloths on stainless steel, painted parts, or brass parts.  
• Do not use brass cleaners on the brass option parts. They  
feature an epoxy coating.

• Have the technician show you the location of the gas shut-off  
valve so you can shut off the gas supply in an emergency. If you  
smell gas, the connections are not properly sealed or you may  
have a hole in the gas supply pipe or hose. Determining where  
the gas leak is should be left to a qualified technician. Warranty  
service must be performed by an authorized service agency.  
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area  
where the gas grill is being used. Never allow children to sit,  
stand or play on or around the grill at any time. Do not store  
items of interest to children around the grill. Never allow  
children to crawl inside the cart or masonry enclosure.

• Use a covered hand when opening the hood and do so slowly to  
allow heat and steam to escape. To avoid burns when cooking,  
use long handled BBQ tools. Never lean over an open grill.  
• Use sturdy, properly insulated gloves or potholders. Dish towels  
or other substitutes can become entangled, causing burns. Use  
dry potholders; wet potholders create steam and cause burns.  
Keep potholders away from open flames when lifting or moving  
utensils. Do not touch portions of the grill rack or burner grate  
with potholders until the hot surfaces have cooled.  
• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic,  
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use.  
These types of materials may break with sudden temperature  
changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings.  
• Select the correct pan size for the burner. Be sure the pan  
is large enough to avoid boilovers or spillovers. This will  
save cleaning, and prevent accumulations of food, heavy  
splattering, or spillovers that can catch fire.

Important Safety Instructions  
Important Safety Instructions  
• Never leave the grill unattended. High flames and fatty  
meats will promote flare ups.  
• When cooking in windy conditions, provide a wind break.  
Locate the unit with proper clearance from combustible  
surfaces.  
• When using the grill, do not touch the grill grates, open  
burner grates, or immediate surrounding areas. These  
surfaces become extremely hot and could cause burns. Be  
sure all controls are turned off and the unit has cooled  
before touching or cleaning any surfaces.  
• Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and  
block the gas and air flow to the burner ports. This may  
cause a fire from behind the manifold cover. Inspect and  
clean the burners periodically.  
WARNING  
• Keep the ventilation openings at the rear of the cart and  
cylinder enclosure free and clear to allow proper flow of air.  
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.  
This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in a  
building, garage or an other enclosed areas. This could  
result in carbon monoxide buildup which could result in  
injury or death.  
• Clothing fires are potential hazards. Do not wear long  
flowing sleeves around the grill. They are easily caught on  
pan handles or ignited by burners and are generally in the  
way. Highly flammable clothing—especially synthetic  
fabrics—should not be worn while cooking.  
• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This  
can upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the  
control area, resulting in melted knobs.  
• The handle of your cooking utensil should be positioned so  
that it does not extend over adjacent surface burners or  
interfere with closing the canopy. This will minimize burns,  
ignition of flammable materials, and possible spillage. Let  
hot pans cool in a safe place out of childrens reach.  
• Do not heat any unopened glass or metal containers on the  
grill. Pressure may build up and cause the container to burst,  
resulting in serious personal harm or damage to the grill.  
• Do not move the appliance during use.  
• Never grill without the drip tray in place. Make sure it is  
pushed all the way to the back—in proper position—to catch  
the drippings. Let the grease cool before attempting to  
remove for cleaning or disposal. Do not allow large amounts  
of grease to accumulate in the drip tray as it can catch on fire.  
• Be sure all controls are turned off and the grill is cool before  
using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The  
chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the  
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.  
• Do not remove the plastic cover on the rotisserie motor  
switch due to safety considerations.  
WARNING  
Before lighting the burners inspect the gas supply piping  
or hose. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it  
must be replaced prior to use. Always keep your face and  
body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.  
• If the following instructions are not followed exactly, a fire  
causing death or serious injury may occur.  
o
o
Do not store a spare gas cylinder under or near this appliance.  
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.  
• Before storing, make sure the gas grill is cool. The gas must  
be turned off at the supply tank, removed, and stored  
outside in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.  
WARNING  
EXPLOSION HAZARD  
Do not use the grill as storage area for  
flammable materials. Keep area clear and free  
from combustible materials, gasoline, and other  
flammable vapors and liquids. Failure to do so  
can result in death, explosion, or fire.  
• Keep all electric cords away from heated areas of the grill.

Lighting the Grill Burners (E-Series Models)  
Make sure the unit is plugged into a properly grounded  
receptacle. Turn the appropriate control knob counter-  
clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas valve and  
an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position  
with the automatic re-ignition system. If the flame goes out  
for any reason, the burners will automatically re-ignite if the  
gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the  
burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all surface  
igniters you should hear a clicking sound. If you do not, turn  
off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that  
the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.  
Lighting Infrared Rotisserie Burner  
(T-Series and E-Series Models)  
The location of the infrared burner makes it more susceptible  
to strong wind conditions—more so than the protected grill  
burners. For this reason you should avoid using it during  
windy conditions.  
Open the canopy. Push in and turn the rotisserie control knob  
until the “HIGH” position on the knob aligns with the  
indicator line on the control panel and continue to hold in the  
knob. Press the electronic ignition button which corresponds  
to the rotisserie control knob. You will hear a clicking sound.  
After the burner lights, hold the rotisserie control knob in  
about 5 seconds longer or until the burner remains lit. Once  
lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting. If the burner  
does not light within 4 seconds, release and turn the control  
knob to “OFF”. Wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to  
dissipate. If the burner does not light after several attempts,  
then the burner can be lit by holding a lit match to the burner  
(with the control knob pushed in at the light position). Push  
and turn the control knob until the “HIGH” position on the  
knob aligns with the indicator line on the control panel. Make  
sure you are turning the control knob that corresponds with  
the burner being lit. If relighting a hot burner, wait 5 minutes.  
Never leave the rotisserie control knob at “ON” if  
rotisserie is not in use.  
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the  
burner to be able to light. When the burner lights, turn the  
burner control to any position to adjust the flame size. If the  
burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to “OFF”  
and wait 5 minutes before trying again. This will allow  
accumulated gas to dissipate. After several failed attempts  
the burner can be lit with a paper book match using the flash  
tubes.  
Flash tube  
If you have just attempted to light the burner with the ignitor,  
allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Place  
the lit match through the grid next to the flash tube of the  
burner being lit. Keep your face as far away from the grill as  
possible. Make sure the match is adjacent to the flash tube.  
Push and turn the control knob until the “HIGH” position on  
the knob aligns with the indicator line on the control panel.  
Make sure you are turning the control knob that corresponds  
with the burner being lit. If the burner does not light in 4  
seconds, turn the knob to “OFF,” wait 5 minutes, and try  
again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, see

Cooking Tips  
Using Grill  
Grilling can be either an open or closed canopy process.  
Open canopy grilling is excellent for foods requiring quick  
searing like steaks, burgers, chops, and hot dogs. Closed  
canopy grilling is similar to roasting in an oven. Food is  
cooked by heat reflection from the cover as well as heat from  
the burners below.  
Before You Begin  
• The first time you use the grill, turn the control knob to  
“HIGH” and preheat racks for an additional 15 — 20  
minutes. This allows the porcelain grates to be “seasoned.”  
• Before each use, turn the control knob to “HIGH” and  
preheat for 5 — 7 minutes.  
• Check to be certain the drip tray is in place.  
• Light the grill burners using the lighting instructions.  
• Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired  
doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control  
knob may be set to any position between “HIGH” and  
“LOW.”  
• When grilling chicken, roasts, well-done steaks or chops,  
and thick pieces of meat, sear on “HIGH.” Then reduce the  
heat setting to prevent excessive flareup. This will allow the  
food to cook through without burning on the outside.  
• When grilling large pieces of meat, use a meat thermometer  
to ensure that meats are either rare, medium or well-  
cooked.  
• After steaks, chops, or hamburgers have been allowed to  
sear for approximately 1 minute, you might want to slide a  
spatula under the meat and turn it approximately 90˚ so that  
a waffle pattern will be seared onto the food.  
• Allow grill to cool before cleaning. (Drip tray should be  
cleaned after each use.)  
Canopy Thermometers (If Applicable)  
Your outdoor grill is equipped with a thermometer on the  
canopy. The thermometer is designed to aide in the  
preheating of the grill and closed canopy grilling. The  
estimated cooking temperatures with the canopy closed are:  
• Use a metal spatula or tongs instead of a fork to turn the  
meat. A fork will puncture the meat, allowing juices to  
escape.  
Turn the meat over only once. Juices are lost when steaks,  
chops, or hamburgers are turned several times. The best  
time to turn the meat is after the juices have begun to  
bubble to the surface.  
WARM 150˚F (65˚C)  
COLD SMOKE 150˚F — 200˚F (65˚C — 93˚C)  
To test for doneness, make a small slash in the center of the  
meat, not across the edge. This will prevent loss of juices.  
• Occasionally there may be flare-ups or flames above the  
grill due to drops of fat falling onto the flavor generator  
plates. It is normal to have some flare-up during grilling. If  
necessary, use a long spatula to move food to another area  
until the flames subside.

Grilling Tips  
Smoker Box  
Using the smoker box  
feature intensifies the  
flavor by adding smoke to  
the grilling process. The  
additional smoke creates a  
“cloud” around the food  
which permeates meats  
and vegetables for added  
smoky flavor. In order to  
use the smoker box,  
remove the last set of  
porcelain grids on the right  
hand side of the grill. Set  
the smoker box in the  
opening so that the front  
and rear tabs rest on the  
grill frame.  
TruSear™ Infrared Grilling Tips  
Infrared grilling produces intense heat which quickly sears the meat.  
Searing locks in flavor and juices while allowing the outer surface to  
absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced as grease and  
drippings are vaporized by the burner. The result is a crisp, flavorful  
outside with a tender, juicy inside. As a general rule, foods will cook in  
about half the time they would take on an ordinary grill.  
Smoker box  
• Preheat the grill.  
• Ensure that meat is fully thawed and that all excess fat is trimmed  
away prior to grilling.  
• Leave the burner set on “HIGH” when placing food on the grill to  
sear.  
• For thicker cuts of meats, adjust burner to a lower setting and  
continue cooking until desired doneness is reached.  
NOTE: When the TruSear™ infrared burner is not use, it must be  
covered with the provided stainless steel cover for protection from  
outside elements such as rain.  
Wood Chip Use in Smoker Box  
There are many wood chips available and selection is based  
on personal taste. The most common chips used are mesquite  
or hickory. Always soak the chips in water prior to putting  
them into the box. Use the “HIGH” position to start the chips  
smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level to prevent  
them from drying out and flaming. If the wood chips do flame  
up, add a small amount of water to extinguish the flame. Use  
caution when adding water to a hot box to avoid steam  
burns. This tray may also be filled with water to produce  
steam. Whether smoking or steaming, the grill should remain  
closed as much as possible to maximize the effect.

Rotisserie  
Rotisserie  
The rotisserie burner is an infrared burner which provides  
intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by professional chefs  
over other methods, this intense heat is great for searing in  
the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.  
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures  
in about 1 minute. The red glow will even out in about 5  
minutes.  
To load the skewer, slide one of the rotisserie forks (prongs  
facing away from the end) onto the skewer. Push the skewer through  
the center of the food, then slide the second rotisserie fork (prongs  
toward the food) onto the skewer. Center the product to be cooked on  
the skewer then push the forks firmly toward the food. Tighten the  
wing nuts with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with  
butchers string to secure loose portions. Never use nylon or  
plastic string. Once the food is secure, insert the skewer into the  
motor. To turn on rotisserie motor, flip the ON/OFF switch located on  
the rotisserie motor assembly.  
To install the rotisserie motor, align the drive shaft on the  
motor with the gear box on the side of the grill. Tighten the  
thumb screws on the motor into the mounting brackets on the  
grill frame. The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the  
gear box assembly by placing the pointed end into the gear  
box and resting the rounded end on the wheels on the left  
side of the grill.  
If needed, remove the grill grates. Place the basting pan beneath the  
food. Keep canopy closed while using the rotisserie. Each peek adds  
about 15 minutes to the cooking time. A meat thermometer should be  
used when cooking large pieces of meat to ensure that the meats are  
rare, medium, and well cooked.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when  
maintained properly and kept clean. Grilling equipment is no  
exception. Your grill must be kept clean and maintained properly.  
Viking highly recommends cleaning the grill after each use. A  
Viking grill cover (sold separately) should also be strongly  
considered in order to protect your grill from the elements.

Porcelain Grates/Flavor Generator Plates/Grill  
Burners  
The porcelain grill grates are easily cleaned immediately after  
cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Wearing a  
barbecue mitt to protect your hand from heat, use a stainless or  
brass bristle barbecue brush to scrub the porcelain burner grid.  
Dip the brush frequently in a bowl of water. Steam is created as  
the water contacts the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning  
process by softening the food particles. IMPORTANT: It is critical  
that the flavor plates not be allowed to develop excess build-up  
of debris over an extended period. Extreme flare-up may occur.  
For thorough cleaning of the grates and plates, allow to cool,  
then soak 15 to 30 minutes in a hot water and detergent solution.  
After soaking, scrub with a teflon scouring pad. Do not use a  
steel wool pad or abrasive cleaners. They could damage the  
porcelain finish.  
Unclip holding tab at  
the rear of each burner.  
Remove burner from holding  
tab at rear of burner.

Before removing the grates and burners, make sure the gas  
supply is off and the knobs are in the “OFF” position. To  
disassemble the grill for thorough cleaning, remove parts after  
they have cooled in the following order.  
Remove burner from slots located in front  
mounting bracket.

Removing Optional Side Burners for cleaning  
TruSear™ Infrared Grill Burner (If Applicable)  
When finished cooking, turn the control knob to the “HIGH”  
setting and allow the burner to burn for 5 minutes. This helps  
eliminate any drippings or debris that would otherwise remain  
on the burner, degrading the performance and reducing  
burner life. After the 5 minute burn-off time, turn the grill  
“OFF” and allow to cool completely before attempting to  
clean or move. Wipe excess grease and food from grill  
surfaces.

NOTE: When the TruSear™ infrared burner is not use, it must  
be covered withthe provided stainless steel cover for  
protection from outside elements such as rain.  
Remove the grates, burner bowls, and  
grate support.  
Remove bolts from side burners.  
Drip Tray  
The drip tray pans should be  
removed and cleaned after each use.  
Allow the drippings in the the drip tray  
pans to cool completely before  
removing. To remove the drip  
tray pans, simply remove the  
pans from the tray. Place the  
trays in hot, soapy water to  
clean. Wipe up any  
3
debris that may  
have collected in  
the drip tray with a hot,  
soapy towel. Dry and  
replace drip tray pans before  
next use.  
Lift side burners and separate air shutter  
from orifice.  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
Do not use flammable cleaning materials. Use a flashlight to  
inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions  
can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been  
straightened out. Shake out any debris through the air shutter.  
• Do not use a metal knife or any other metal tool to scrape  
stainless steel parts.  
• Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless  
steel surfaces, as citric acid will permanently discolor  
stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.  
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive  
cloths on stainless steel, painted parts, or brass parts.  
• Do not use brass cleaners on the brass option parts. They  
feature an epoxy coating.

Infrared Rotisserie Burner  
Battery Replacement  
Special care is not required for the infrared rotisserie burner. It  
is designed as a self-contained unit. Do not attempt to clean it. Its own  
operation burns off any impurities which may condense on it.  
Each T-Series grill is equipped with a battery for the electronic  
ignition. The 30”W. models only have one battery located  
under the left hand side of the control panel. All other models  
have two batteries located under each end of the control  
panel. The battery locations are shown on the control panel.  
To replace the battery:

• The smell of gas along with the burner flames appearing yellow.  
• The grill does not reach the proper temperatures.  
• The grill heats unevenly.  
• The burners make a popping noise.  
WARNING  
SPIDER AND INSECT INFESTATION  
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners/venturi tubes of this  
or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the  
burner. This is a very dangerous condition that can cause a fire  
to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and  
making it unsafe to operate.
