DANGER:
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the “leak test“ (see below) 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 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.
(See diagram to right.)
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 tight and 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:
Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.
Lighting Main Burner
1. Open
lid before lighting your barbecue.
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.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in OFF position.
3. Turn on gas tank valve.
4. To ignite, push and turn desired knob slowly about1/4 turn counter clockwise until a click is heard. (See diagram to above.)
5. The “click” is the ignitor being activated. If the burner does not light, repeat 2 or 3 times.
6. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 second turn the burner controls to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
7.
Release the knob immediately once the burner is lit.
8. To ignite remaining burners, repeat same procedure for adjacent burner and continue in sequence.
9. Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
Using the Lighting Stick to Light the Main Burners
1. Insert a match into the end of lighting stick. Light the match.
2. Once lit, put the lighting stick through the cooking grid and place the flame next to
the burner ports found along the sides of the desired burner (See diagram to right.)
3. Press the valve knob and rotate it counterclockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’
position. The burner should light immediately. If more than one burner
is desired, repeat the procedure 2-3 until all desired burners are lit.
4. Adjust
valve
knob(s)
to
the desired cooking temperature.
Precautions:
1. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit.
2. If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF”. Open lid
to let the gas clear for at least 5 minutes before re-lighting.
