13. Liquid Propane Tank Installation
(a) Loosen the tank bolt on the back of grill bottom
panel, place the liquid propane tank into the hole
in the bottom panel and tighten the tank
bolt (A3) at the back of the grill to secure. See
Fig.24.
(b) Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper
external mating threads to fit the hose and pressure
regulator assembly provided.
(c) Make sure all burner valves are in OFF position.
(d) Inspect the valve connection port and pressure
regulator assembly. Look for damage or debris.
Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage.
Never use damaged or plugged equipment.
(e) When connecting pressure regulator and hose
assembly to tank valve, hand tighten quick coupling
nut clockwise to a full stop. See Fig.25. Do not use
a wrench to tighten because it could damage the
quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous
condition.
(f) Slowly open tank valve fully (counterclockwise).
Use a soapy water solution to check all connections
for leaks before attempting to light your grill (see
page 19 for gas leak check instructions). If a leak is
found, turn tank valve off and do not use your grill
until the leak is repaired.
CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, gas
must be turned off at the supply tank.

Congratulations
Your BHG® gas grill is now ready for use. Before
the first use and at the beginning of each season
(and whenever the LP gas tank has been
changed):
1. Read all safety, lighting and operating
instructions.
2. Check gas valve orifices, burner tubes and
burner ports for any obstructions.
3. Perform gas leak check according to
instructions found on page 19 of the manual.
Important
Before cooking on your grill the first time, wash
cooking grids and cooking rack with warm , soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Season with
cooking oil regularly. After cooking is completed,
turn grill to HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes to burn
off excess grease or food residue.
DISCONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE
CYLINDER
Turn the grill burner valves “OFF” and make sure the
grill is cool.
Turn the Liquid Propane Cylinder valve “OFF” by
turning clockwise until it stops.
Detach the pressure regulator assembly from the
cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.
