USE AND CARE

DANGER

• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the appliance or in an enclosed area.

LP Cylinder

•The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the following requirements:

•Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12"

(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) capacity maximum.

•LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods. Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for marking.

•LP cylinder valve must have:

•Type 1 outlet compatible with

regulator or grill.

•Safety relief valve.

•UL listed Overfill Protection

Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use

only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

•LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.

OPD Hand Wheel

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.

• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.

• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.

LP Cylinder Removal, Transport and Storage

•Turn OFF all control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Turn coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to disconnect. Loosen cylinder screw beneath bottom shelf, then lift LP cylinder up and out of cart. Install safety cap onto LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.

Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

•A disconnected LP cylinder in

storage or being transported must have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP cylinder in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP cylinder inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

•LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten

cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

•LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP Cylinder Filling

•Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

•LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.

•Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP

cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by temperature.

•A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.

•Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.

•To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP dealers.

LP Cylinder Exchange

Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder

•Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill,

test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only

for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the "LP Cylinder" section of this manual.

•Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright

position during use, transit or storage.

•Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE

connecting to grill.

Safety Tips

sBefore opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for

tightness.

sWhen grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP

cylinder valve.

sNever move grill while in operation or still hot. sUse long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid

burns and splatters.

sMaximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs. sThe grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after

each use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has completely cooled.

s Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle

brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces,

ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

sIf you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill

onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once. Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.

sKeep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free

and clear of debris.

sDo not store objects or materials inside the grill cart

enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.

sThe regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during

operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.

sIf you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section". sIf the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve

immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

• Apartment Dwellers:

Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.

• NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is hazardous.

• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct position specified in assembly instructions.

• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from specified operation position.

CAUTION

• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.

• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and LP cylinder off.

OFF

Hose Check

• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.

Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. s Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of

the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS

INSIDE BURNER TUBE

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the venturi’s.

CONTROL PANEL

VALVE

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.
