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

5.2 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.
