Operating Instructions
Checking for Leaks
Burner Connections
1. Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections
are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check
the connection between the burner venturi pipe and
orifice. Make sure the burner venturi pipe fits over
the orifice.
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.
2. Please refer to diagram for proper installation.
(Figure 1 and 2)
3. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice,
please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Tank/Gas Line Connection
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 “OFF”. (Figure 3)
3. Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN”.
4. Spoon leak check solution at all “X” locations
(Figure 4)
a. If any bubbles appear turn LP gas tank valve to
“CLOSED”, reconnect and re-test.
b. If you continue to see bubbles after several
attempts, turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED”
and disconnect LP gas tank and contact
1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
c. If no bubbles appear after one minute turn LP gas
tank valve to “CLOSED”, wipe away solution and
proceed.
Operating Main Burners
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films
have been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this
grill for the first time by operating the grill for at
least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This
will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate
odors.
Lighting
1. Open lid.
Attempting to light the burner with the
lid closed may cause an explosion!
2. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to
the burners. 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.
3. All control knobs must be in the “OFF” position.
(Figure 3)
4. Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN”.
5. Select burner to light. Push and turn control knob
counterclockwise to “HIGH”.
6. Press the electronic igniter button and hold for 5
seconds to light burner.
7. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner
control knob “OFF”, wait 5 minutes, and repeat
lighting procedure.
8. 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
cooking grid and heat plates. Position the lit match
near side of the burner. (Figure 5)
Important:
Always use the lighting rod provided when
lighting burners with a match.
9. After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure
all burner ports are lit and flame height matches
illustration. (Figure 6)
Note: Each burner lights independently - repeat steps
5-9 for the other burners.
Operating Sear Burner
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill
for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts
and dissipate odors.
Lighting
NOTE: Infrared sear burner can be used while main
burners are operating.
1. Open lid.
Attempting to light the burner with the
lid closed may cause an explosion!
2. 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.
3. Control knob must be in the “OFF” position.
(Figure 7)
4. Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN”.
5. Push and turn control knob counterclockwise to
“ON”.
6. Press the electronic igniter button and hold for 5 seconds to light burner.
7. Hold the knob 3 to 5 seconds to allow gas to reach and light the burner.
8. Burner should turn red after 2 to 3 minutes.
9. Turn control knob “OFF” if burner is not lit. Wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure.

4. Keep an eye on the food to make sure the food does not burn, as it will take a very short time
to sear each side of the food. Turn as desired.
5. Turn grill OFF by turning the LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED”. Burn off remaining gas in lines
by waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the “OFF” position. A “poof” sound is
normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.
