CARE AND MAINTENANCE
wARNINg: when not connected to your grill, the LP gas tank must be stored in an
upright position in a cool, shady, well-ventilated, outdoor location away from your grill
or any other heat source. Failure to follow this warning could lead to tank valve
damage, fire hazard and personal injury.
Refilling a Propane Tank
It is extremely important that your LP tank be filled properly when you take it to be refilled. Be
sure to use a reputable LP dealer and observe how the tank is filled and at what capacity. An
overfilled LP tank can be dangerous.
The proper way to fill a tank is by weight. The empty tank should be placed on a scale.The
scale weights should be readjusted to a weight that would allow up to 80% of the total weight.
The filling operation must end once the tank is filled to 80% of its total capacity. If the tank is
not completely empty, the scale readjustment must be changed to consider the propane (LP)
already in the tank.
WARNING: An LP (propane) tank is overfilled if it contains moret han 80% of its total
capacity of propane (LP).
An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP (propane) tank can be dangerous. If a tank is overfilled
and the weather causes the warming of the LP tank (a hot day, tank left in sun or stored
indoors), internal pressure is created due to expansion of the propane which in turn may
cause the LP gas to be released through the pressure relief valve on the tank.The pressure
relief valve is a safety device required on 20 lb. propane tanks by the Department of
Transportation or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 Cylinders, Spheres and
Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable, to prevent a
catastrophic tank failure due to excessive pressure. LP gas released from the tank is
flammable and can be explosive.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be
sealed with approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber’s tape. After making
connections, check all joints for leaks using a soapy water solution and a brush.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Use of an open flame could
result in a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
Stainless Steel
The control panel and lid handle of the gas grill is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is non-
rusting in certain conditions; therefore, a cover and stainless steel cleaner should be used when the
grill is not in use.
Wipe with stainless steel cleaner on all non-cooking surfaces once a month.
Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot.
After initial grilling, certain areas of the grill (i.e. the vents, hood and firebox) may discolor.
This is a normal discoloration caused by the intense heat from the burners.
