FOR YOUR SAFETY - WHILE OPERATING YOUR GRILL
For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid
Serious Injury:
• Controls and gas source or tank OFF when not
in use.
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Check burner flames regularly.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas
grill.
• Do not cover grates with aluminum foil or any other
material. This will block burner ventilation and
create a potentially dangerous condition resulting
in property damage and/or personal injury.
• NEVER attempt to light or re-light burner with
lid closed. A buildup of non-ignited gas inside a
closed grill is hazardous.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately
get away from the appliance and call your fire
department.
• If during operation the flames go out (You smell
gas or cannot see the flame):
1. Turn the burner controls
OFF.
2. Open lid.
3. Wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting
procedure.
• If the burner goes out, gas will continue to flow
out of the burner and could accidently ignite with
risk of injury.
• Do not attempt to repair or alter the natural gas
regulator for any “assumed” defect. Any modi-
fication to this assembly will void your warranty
and create the risk of a gas leak and fire. Use only
authorized replacement parts supplied by manu-
facturer.
• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety
reasons.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury
may result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs
and gas supply off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been
regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may
damage the product.
• The best way to prevent grease fires is regular
cleaning of the grill following instructions on
General Grill Cleaning and Cleaning The Burner
Assembly.

Before each use of your Grill:
Perform a Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at gas supply
before checking valves. Knobs lock in off posi-
tion. To check valves, first push in knobs and release,
knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring
back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn
knobs to LOW position then turn back to off position.
Valves should turn smoothly.
C h e c k t h e I g n i t o r
• Turn gas off at gas supply. Press and hold electronic
ignitor button. “Click” should be heard and spark
seen each time in each collector box or between
burner and electrode. See “Troubleshooting” if no
click or spark.
Burner Flame Check
• Remove cooking grates and heat tents. Light
burners, rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should
see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on
HIGH. Perform burner flame check on side burner,
also. Always check flame prior to each use. If only
low flame is seen refer to “Sudden drop or low
flame” in the Troubleshooting Section.

Turning your Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to the OFF position. Turn gas
supply off by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full
stop.
Checking the Fuel Gas Hose
• If you have converted your grill for use with LP
(propane) gas, check to see if hoses are cut, worn,
or kinked, Replace damaged hoses before using
your grill. Use only replacement hose specified by
the manufacturer.
