Operating the Grill
CAUTION:
Use only the regulator provided. If a replacement is necessary, call our customer service center. The use of
unauthorized parts can create an unsafe condition and environment.
The propane gas supply cylinder used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for Propane Gas
Cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Only cylinders with a listed overfill prevention device (OPD) and
marked “propane” may be used. Cylinders with an OPD will have valve handles with three “lobes” (prongs).
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the outdoor cooking gas appliance must be used. Replacement pressure
regulators and hose assembly must be those specified by the outdoor cooking gas appliance manufacturer. Use only 20-pound
cylinders equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances. The cylinder
must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The gas cylinder should not be dropped or handled roughly. If the appliance is
not in use, the gas cylinder must be disconnected.
Storage of the appliance indoors is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders
must be stored outdoors and out of the reach of children. Cylinder must not be stored in a building, garage or other enclosed areas.
Your cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125
℉
.
Before connecting, make sure there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, regulator valve or in the head of the burner
and burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand tighten firmly. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when
the grill is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air or ventilation air to the grill. The propane cylinder must be
arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed overfill prevention device (OPD).
Danger: A fire causing death or serious injury may occur if the following is not followed exactly:
Never store or use gasoline or other volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill.
Never store a spare propane cylinder in the vicinity of this grill, or in the vicinity of another
potential heat source.
Never fill the propane cylinder beyond 80% full.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder
LP (Propane) Gas Supply Connection
1. Always place the propane cylinder on the tank brackets located on the right side of the cart.
2. Always confirm that all burner control knobs are in the OFF position before activating the gas supply.
3. Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve, or in
the head of the burner and burner ports.
4. Always connect the gas supply regulators as follows:
Insert the nipple of the valve coupling into the tank valve and tighten the connection collar
by turning it clockwise with one hand while holding the regulator with the other hand.
(See diagram to right.)
5. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
6. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the “leak test“ on page 14 before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder
is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for gas
appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
