If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of LP gas escaping from the cylinder:

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

•  This appliance can produce carbon monoxide which has no odor. Using it in an enclosed space can kill you.
•  Never use this appliance indoors, on recreational vehicles, or boats.

DA N G E R

!

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from fire or explosion:
• Use only propane gas with this LP gas grill.
• Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas.
• Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid breathing toxic fumes from 

combustion or leaking gas. As with all conventional fuels, the burning process consumes oxygen and produces toxic 
gases, including carbon monoxide. In addition, the combustion products of such fuels, including liquefied petroleum 
(LP), contain chemicals known to the state of California and other authorities to cause cancer, birth defects, and 
other reproductive harm.

• Read and follow all warnings on LP Gas Cylinder.
• Do not operate the LP gas grill without the LP Gas Cylinder oriented as instructed in “Connecting LP Gas Cylinder” 

on page 7.

• Never connect or disconnect LP Gas Cylinder or fittings while grill is in use or is hot.
• Do not use an LP Gas Cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, 

corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should 
be checked immediately by a liquid propane supplier. 

• Do not store a spare LP Gas Cylinder under or near the LP gas grill.
• When grill is not in use, turn off all grill Control Knobs and disconnect LP Gas Cylinder.
• Never fold or transport grill while LP cylinder is attached.
• Never refill a 1 lb. cylinder.

WARNING

!

Any use or alteration of this unit inconsistant with these instructions could be hazardous and will void your warranty.

The LP Gas Cylinder, for use with this LP gas grill, must meet the following requirements:

1. 1 lb. capacity

2. Constructed and marked in accordance with Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Trans-

portation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN\CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Trans-
portation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable (See collar for marking)

3. Marked “PROPANE.”

4. Provided with a cylinder connection device that is compatible with the grill’s connection.

LP Regulator

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from fire or explosion:
• Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Replace the gas 

regulator prior to being used if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear. 

• Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been supplied with this gas grill. Do not use a regulator from 

another manufacturer. A replacement gas regulator must be specified by this grill’s manufacturer before using.

• Always check for gas leaks (see page 9) when you connect and disconnect the regulator to the LP Gas Cylinder, 

especially after a period of storage (for example, over winter).
