valve is a safety device required on 20 lb (9.07 kg) propane tanks by the Department of Transportation or the National
Standards 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
This 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 burner box) may discolor. This is normal discoloration
caused by the intense heat from the burners.
• Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can usually be removed with warm
soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. As a last resort a mild abrasive pad could be used with a stainless cleaner. Use light
pressure on the pad and always scrub in the direction of the grain. There are many products that will help clean and protect
on all non-cooking surfaces.
• Do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the polished surface. Use caution when cleaning. Metal polish or a mild chrome cleaner can
be used to bring back luster and highlights. Naval Jelly can be used to remove rust stains that occur from outside sources.
Follow the Naval Jelly instructions carefully.
• To touch up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface lightly with 160 dry grit emery sand paper in the
direction of the grain.
DRIP TRAY
This drip tray collects excessive grease runoff and fallen food particles. Allow the tray and its contents to cool before cleaning.
Loosen the back grill head cover (J) and slide out the drip tray and then wipe it clean.
Make sure the tray is installed properly before using the grill. It is highly recommended that you check the tray regularly to avoid
any possibility of a grease fire; however, most of the drippings will vaporize back into the cooked item giving you an outdoor
grilled flavor.
CHECKING FUEL IN THE PROPANE TANK
To check the amount of propane fuel in the liquid propane gas tank, the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top
of the tank and slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of
propane gas in your tank; if ¾ empty, refill.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of such material will void
your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
