DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the “leak test” on page 10 before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been sopped, if you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for gas
appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
Checking for Leaks
1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection.
4. Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure. .
5. If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Go to step 6.
6. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect. Make sure the connection is secure.
7. Retest with solution.
8. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
Lighting Your Grill
Danger:
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners or not waiting 5 minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does
not light, may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING

possible bodily injury.
Main Burner
WARNING
: Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make sure there are no
obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A
clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
Open top lid during lighting.
Ensure Control dial is in "OFF" position.
Turn gas supply "ON" by connecting propane cylinder to regulator inlet fitting.
Push and turn control valve to "HIGH".
Place a lighted match up through the hole in the side of the unit to be near
the burner port. After lighting observe the burner flame, make sure all burner
ports are lighted- a blue/yellow flame of 1-2 inches from the burner ports should appear.

5 minutes before re-lighting.
3. Before cooking on the grill for the first time, operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas
turned on “HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and painted
finish.
