Checking for Leaks
Burner Connections
1. Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections are securely fastened to the burner and the gas cylinder.
Visually check the connection between the burner venture pipe and orifice. Make sure the burner venture pipes fit 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 of property.
2. Please refer to diagram for proper installation. (Figure 1 and 2).
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 in “OFF” position. (Figure 3).
3. Connect gas cylinder per “Installing Gas Cylinder” section.
4. To turn regulator ON, turn the regulator valve counterclockwise into the “ON” position. (Figure D).
5. Spoon leak check solution at all “X” locations. (Figure 1, 2 and 4).
a. If any bubbles appear turn gas cylinder valve to “CLOSED”, reconnect and re-test.
b. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, turn gas cylinder valve to “CLOSED” and disconnect gas
cylinder, per “Disconnect Gas Cylinder” instruction.
c. If no bubbles appear after one minute turn gas cylinder 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 Instructions
CAUTION:
Keep outdoor gas cooking appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
CAUTION:
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
CAUTION:
Check and clean burner / venture tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
CAUTION:
Make sure the igniter wire was assembled on the igniter electrode properly before lighting.
IMPORTANT:
Never light the appliance with HOOD in the closed position.
1. Open the barbecue hood.
2. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the burners. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the
burner / venture tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
3. All control knobs are in the off position. (Figure 3).
