Operating the Grill
CAUTION:
Use only the regulator provided. If a replacement is necessary, call our customer service center. The use of
unauthorized parts can create an unsafe condition and environment.
Connect gas cylinder
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP-gas Cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Only cylinders marked
‘’propane’’ must be used. Use only 1-pound (16.4 oz) cylinders equipped with a cylinder connection device
compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances. The propane cylinder must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal. If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must be disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors
is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored
outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
Your cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F. Before connection, be sure that
there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve, or in the head of the burner
and burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly. Disconnect the propane cylinder from
the regulator valve when the grill is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation
air to the grill.
DANGER: A fire causing death or serious injury may occur if the following is not followed exactly:
Never store or use gasoline or other volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill.
Never store a spare propane cylinder in the vicinity of this grill, or in the vicinity of another
potential heat source.
Never refill a disposable cylinder.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the leak test on page 12 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 stopped. 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 two to three 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 secured.
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 five 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
: To prevent possible bodily injury, never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to
light the main burners.
