Controlling Flare-ups
Caution: Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not possible.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. This can cause the grease to
splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other
damage. If a grease fire develops, turn regulator/control knob
“OFF”.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food
residue on “HIGH”. If grill has not been regularly cleaned, a grease
fire can occur that may damage the product.
WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials shall be readily
accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, do not attempt to
extinguish with water. Use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or
smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
Controlling Flare-ups:
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill, and adds to the unique flavor of grilling.
Excessive flare-ups can over cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you
and your grill.
Important:
Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If excessive flare-ups occur
,
DO NOT
pour water onto the flames.
If grease fire occurs
, close the lid AND turn the regulator/control knob to “OFF”, until the
grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
This grill is designed to operate with a one pound
7.75” or 10.6” high disposable / 16.4 oz. or 14.1 oz.
propane gas tank (DOT 39 Cylinder). (Figure 1)
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL ANY ONE POUND
(16.4 oz. or 14.1 oz.) PROPANE GAS TANKS!

Note
: Some 1-lb cylinders may form frost when near
empty.
1. Make sure the regulator/control knob is in the
“LOCK/OFF” position. (Figure 2)
2. Lubricate the threads of the regulator/control knob
with petroleum jelly. Line up threads on LP gas
tank with regulator/control knob.
3. Insert and rotate LP gas tank clockwise until
they fit snugly together. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. Be
careful not to cross threads when screwing in
canister. (Figure 3a)
4. Test for leaks, see “Checking for Leaks” section.
Disconnect LP Gas Tank
1. Turn the regulator/control knob to the “LOCK/OFF”
position. (Figure 2)
2. Rotate LP gas tank counterclockwise until it is
loose. (Figure 3b)
3. Store the LP gas tank in a proper location.
Burner Connection
Make sure the regulator/control knob is securely
fastened to the burner. (Figure 4)
Note: The brass nut should be 1/4 to 1/2 turn past
tight. The regulator will rotate 360º even when the
brass nut is tightened.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check
the connection between the burner and control
valve.
If you have questions contact 1.800.762.1142 for
assistance.
WARNING: Failure to inspect
this connection or follow these
instructions could cause a fire or an
explosion which can cause death,
serious bodily injury or damage to
property.
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 regulator/control knob is “LOCK/OFF”.
(Figure 2)
3. Spoon several drops of solution, or use squirt
bottle, at all “X” locations. (Figures 4 & 5)
4. Inspect the solution at the connections, looking for
bubbles.
a. If NO bubbles appear after one minute, the
connections are secure. Wipe away solution
and proceed.
b. If bubbles appear, you have a leak.
1. Remove the LP gas tank and reconnect,
making sure the connection is secure.
2. Retest with solution.
If you continue to see bubbles after several
attempts, disconnect LP gas tank and
contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective
films have been removed from the grill.
