1# LP Gas Tank Connection
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three
parts water.
Make sure control knobs are “OFF”.
Spoon several drops of solution, or use squirt bottle, at the LP gas tank to regulator
connection, and on the regulator hose connection to the grill body.
Inspect the solution at the connections, looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the
connections are secure. If bubbles appear, you have a leak.
Loosen and retighten this connection, making sure the connection is secure.
Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, disconnect
propane source and contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Lighting
1. Open lid before lighting burners
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 within
and clog the burner / venturi tube at the orifice.
A
clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath
the appliance. Clean burner holes with a
heavy-duty pipe cleaner.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF”
position.
3. Attach LP gas tank securely.
4. Push and turn control knob
counterclockwise to “HIGH”.
5. Press the electronic igniter button and
hold for 5 seconds to light burner.
Note:
Repeat step 5 every time you turn on
a burner, even if the other burner is “ON”.
6. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds,
turn burner control knob OFF, wait 5
minutes, and repeat lighting procedure.
7. If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod provided
to light burners manually. Access the burners through the holes in the side of the grill.
Position the lit match near side of the burner.
Important:
Always use the lighting rod provided when lighting burners with a match.
8. After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure all burner ports are lit and flame
height matches illustration.
CAUTION: If burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn
the gas “OFF” and open lid to let the gas clear for about 5 minutes
before re-lighting.
Turning Off
1. Turn all control knobs clockwise to the OFF position one at a time.
2. Allow charcoal/wood chips to extinguish.
3. Empty charcoal tray once charcoal/wood chips are extinguished and cool.
4. Remove LP gas tank.
Initial Use
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 manufacturing processes.
Cooking
1. Light burner per lighting instructions.
2. Add desired charcoal or wood chips to charcoal tray and allow to form an ash layer.
3. Set burner to desired temperature
4. Place food on grid.
5. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal temperatures are achieved.
Tips For Better Cook Outs and Longer Product Life
1. Spray or coat cooking surfaces with vegetable oil before cooking to avoid sticking.
2. Place vegetables or delicate foods into aluminum foil pouches.
3. Use a quality grill brush after each event to keep cooking grids clean and rust free.
4. Use a standard 20 lb LP gas tank and adapter hose (sold separately) for more cooking
enjoyment.
Using Charcoal Tray
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
1. This is not a charcoal grill. It is a gas grill designed to add the flavor of
charcoal or wood.
2. Do not use instant light charcoal
3. Position the grill so wind cannot carry ashes to combustible surfaces.
4. Always wear protective gloves when adding charcoal or wood
5. Allow coals/embers to extinguish and cool before transporting, storing,
or moving the grill. Do not cover the grill until contents of the charcoal
tray are completely and fully extinguished and empty.
6. Do not use burning charcoal to relight gas burners. Always light the
burners using the built in ignition or a match.
• Use charcoal or wood chips if desired. The grill will operate like a normal LP gas grill if
the charcoal tray is empty.
• If using wood chips, either dry or soaked chips are good.
• Use natural, standard or lump charcoal if desired.
• Add charcoal or wood chips to the tray during the grill preheat. The LP gas burners
will ignite the charcoal. This guarantees full flavor once cooking begins.
Do not place
charcoal anywhere other than the dedicated tray. Do not overfill the charcoal tray.
Make sure the charcoal tray closes properly and completely.
• Keep the charcoal tray closed during operation.
Do not operate the grill without the
tray fully in place.
• After every use, empty ashes once completely cool and fully extinguished.
Using the On-lid Griddle
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
1. The griddle will be hot when the grill is in use
2. If cooking fatty or otherwise moist foods, use caution to clean up
drippings before opening lid to prevent damage to the painted finish
3. Plan ahead if attempting to cook on the griddle and in the grill
simultaneously. Make sure you will have the ability to access all foods
as needed.
• Once the grill and griddle are at the desired temperature, use as you would any traditional
griddle.
• The griddle can be used as a warming plate for bread, buns, or other foods.
