Warning:
1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the cyliinder beyond 80 percent full.
If the information in item 1&2 is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
CAUTION :
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.
5.3 Checking for Gas Leak
m
DANGER
LEAK TESTING GENERAL:
Although gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test
must be performed at the installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the procedures
listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at any time, you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING:
Make sure all packing materials have been removed from the griddle
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the
solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the Liquid Propane cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valves off.
2. Turn the Liquid Propane cylinder valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply “OFF” and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back “ON” and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply “OFF” and contact customer service at
866-994-6390 or email [email protected]
7. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the outdoor cooking
gas appliance being put into operation. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the
grill. Substitutions will void the warranty.
5.4 Lighting Instructions
1. Read all instructions before lighting.
2. Make sure the gas control knob is in “OFF” position.
3. Push the gas control knob and quickly turn counterclockwise to “HIGH” position. The igniter will click and light the
burner.
4. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the gas control knob off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat steps 2 - 5.* Before
cooking on this grill for the first time, operate the grill for about 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas turned on
“HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odor from the painted finish.
*Clean your griddle after each use.
See Section 6.3 for instructions
*If the burner does not light, turn the gas control knob off and wait 5 minutes to let the gas clear before you try again.
5.5 Match lighting
IMPORTANT!
A match lighting hole is located on the left side of the firebox.
Match lighting instructions:
1. Read all instructions before lighting.
2. Make sure the gas control knob is in “OFF” position.
3. Strike a long wooden match and position the burning match through the match lighting hole in the left side of the
firebox. Place the flame near the bottom edge of the burner.
4. Push down and turn the burner control knob counterclockwise to the high setting.
5. Operating Your Griddle
5.1 Select a Proper Location
Once you have assembled your new grill, find a suitable location for use.
Note: The use and installation of this product must conform to local codes. In absence of local codes, use the National
Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, Storage and Handling of Liquified Petroleum Gases, ANSI.NFPA 58 or Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1; Propane Storage and Handling, CSA B149.2

DANGER
1. Never use this outdoor grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat, trailer or
recreational vehicle and/or boat, to prevent possible fire and to prevent the possibility of carbon
monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.
2. Always place your grill on a hard and level surface far away from combustible materials and structures.
3. Do not use this grill under an overhead combustible surface or covered area ( e.g., awnings, umbrellas, porches or
gazeboes ). Keep all combustible surfaces at least 24” (61cm) away.
4. Locate the grill away from any combustible and non-combustible material or construction by at least 24 inches
(61cm) from back and 24 inches (61cm) from side.(See the diagram below)
5. Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill or in the vicinity of
any other heat-generating appliance, because of the danger of starting a fire.
6. The cylinder be disconnected when the appliance is not in use.
7. Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the appliance.
8. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
5.2 Special Instructions for the Use of Regulator and Propane Cylinder
GAS HOOK-UP:
Only the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill should be used. Any replace-
ment pressure regulator and hose assembly must be specified by the grill manufacturer. This grill is configured for Liquid
Propane. Do not use a Natural Gas supply.
LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS:
(20-lb Cylinder) A dented
or rusty Liquid Propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked
by your supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. The Liquid
Propane cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for Liquid Propane cylinders by the United States Department
of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods Com-
mission. The 20-lb cylinder must have a shut off valve terminating in a valve
outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard for
compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1.
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoor is per missible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the outdoor cooking gas appliance. The cylinder system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The cylinder must in-
clude a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Manifold pressure: (operating) 11 inches water column (W.C.), (non-operating)
11.2 inches water column (W.C.). The Liquid Propane cylinder must be fitted with an Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
Remove the plastic valve cover from the Liquid Propane cylinder. Make sure the grill gas hoses do not contact the grease
pan or grill firebox when the Liquid Propane cylinder is placed into the cart.
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER:
To connect the Liquid Propane gas supply cylinder: The cylinder
valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the valve clockwise until it stops. Make sure the cylinder valve has the
proper type-1 external male thread connections per ANSI Z21.81. Make sure the burner valves are in the “OFF” position.
Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove debris and inspect the hose for damage. When
connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, use your hand to tighten the nut clockwise until it stops. Use of a wrench
could damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous situation Open the cylinder valve fully by turning the
valve counterclockwise. Before lighting the grill, use a soap and water solution to check all the connections for leaks. If a
leak is found, turn the cylinder valve “OFF” and do not use the grill until a local Liquid Propane dealer can make repairs.
