WARNING
Fuels used in gas or oil-fired appliances and the products of
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and/ or
other reproductive harm.
This warning is issued pursuant to California Health &
Safety Code Sec. 25249.6.
n
WARNING
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a
fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage.
n
WARNING
Your grill will get very hot. Never lean over the cooking
area while using your grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces,
grill housing, grill lid or any other grill parts while the grill is
in operation, or until the grill has cooled down after use.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
serious bodily injury.
Grill lnstallation Codes
This gas grill must be installed in accordance with all
local codes. In areas without local codes, follow the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. In
Canada, installation must conform to standard CAN/CGA
1b149.1 or 1-b149. 2 (Installation Code for Gas Burning
Appliances and Equipment) and all local codes.
Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breeze way or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is to
be used outdoors only, at least 16 inches from the back
and 14 inches to the side of any combustible surface. Your
gas grill should not be placed under any surface that will
burn. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air around the
gas grill housing.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Propane Models:
Correct LP Gas Tank Use
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard
20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas) tank, not included with
grill box. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that
exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches in
diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP gas
tank to use. A Propane tank with an OPD (Overfill Prevention
Device) must be used. This safety feature prevents the tank
from being over-filled which can cause malfunction of the LP
gas tank, regulator and/or grill.
The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in
accordance with specifications of the U.S. Dpt. of
Transportation (DOT). In Canada, the LP gas tank must
meet the Canadian Transportation and Communications
(CTC) specifications. Also be sure to read and follow all LP
instructions on the following page.
If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the
gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.
(a) Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near
this appliance;
(b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; and
(c) If the information in (a) and (b) is not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.
1. The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, terminating in an
LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with
a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must
also have a safety relief device that has a direct communication with the vapor space of the tank.
2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.

rear of unit
READ THESE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the
tank valve.
Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your gas
grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with your gas
grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 11" water
column (W.C.) for connection to an LP gas tank.
Only use the regulator and hose assembly supplied with
your gas grill. Replacement regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by manufacture.
Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable propane gas
dealer and visually inspected and re-qualified at each
filling.
Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full. Have your
propane gas dealer check the release valve after every
filling to ensure that it remains free of defects.
Always keep LP gas tanks in an upright position.
Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must NOT
be stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of this or any
other gas grill.
Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.
Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you store your
gas grill in the garage or other indoor location, always
disconnect the LP gas tank first and store it safely outside and out of reach of children.
LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilat-
ed area. Disconnected LP gas tanks must not be stored
in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
When your gas grill is not in use the gas must be turned
off at the LP gas tank.
The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected
before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced
prior to the grill being used again.
Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot grill surfaces
and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary twisting of
hose. Visually inspect hose prior to each use for cuts,
cracks, excessive wear or other damage. If the hose
appears damaged do not use the gas grill. Call our service center at 1-800-752-3085.
Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before
checking to insure the burner tubes are fully seated over
the gas valve orifices.
Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not allow
children to play near your grill.
n
WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a
serious problem with your gas grill or the LP gas tank.
Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
Shut off gas supply to the grill.
Turn the Control Knobs to the OFF position.
Open grill lid.
Get away from the LP gas tank.
Do not try to fix the problem yourself..
If odor continues or you have a fire you cannot extin-
guish, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank because your telephone
is an electrical device and could create a spark resulting
in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and
hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low volume
of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive
you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the
regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure
should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help call the Customer Service Helpline
for assistance.
Built-in Unit
s Utilizing Natural Gas
When connecting a built-in unit to the natural gas supply
in your home, please ensure the pipe joint compound is
resistant to the action of natural gas. In addition, please
observe the following:
The barbecue and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The barbecue must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)
The barbecue is supplied from the factory equipped for
use with LP (Liquid Propane) Gas and includes a propane
gas regulator. If operation with natural gas is desired, you
must purchase a Natural Gas Model. In addition, a Natural
Gas Regulator MUST
be installed on the gas supply line
from the natural gas source.
Please remember to check all gas connections for leaks
after the piping is completed. Follow the procedure under
the heading "CAUTION: LEAK CHECKING."

2. Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the burner tube and inside the burner several times,
removing any debris.
3. Preferably, an air hose should be used to force air through each burner tube. The forced air should pass debris or
obstructions through the burner and out the ports.
n
WARNING
The location of the burner tube with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the orifice is inside of
the burner tube before using your gas grill (Figure 2).
If the burner tube does not fit over the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
To reduce the chance of ”FLASHBACK”, clean the burner tubes and burners before fully assembling your grill. Remove
the Retainer Clip at the rear of the burner. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice, then refer to
Figure 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:
1. Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown below. Run the hook through the
burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.

CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK
CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill
burner tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to a gas flow
obstruction which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire
is known as a ”FLASHBACK” and can cause serious damage to your grill and create
an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ”FLASHBACK”, it is the most common cause.
To reduce the chance of ”FLASHBACK”, you must clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill, and at least once a
month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your
grill has not been used for an extended period of time.

WARNING
When using Propane, EXTREME CAUTION should be
used to provide ample ventilation of vapor from the enclosure. LP Gas vapor is heavier than air and SERIOUS
INJURY from a DANGEROUS EXPLOSION could occur if
LP Gas is allowed to accumulate in an enclosure and then
ignited. Both the Barbecue enclosure and LP cylinder
enclosure require venting that must be provided at the floor
level of the enclosure to allow any leaking LP Gas vapor to
escape. Upper & lower ground-level vents (20 sq. in. minimum each) MUST BE PROVIDED on both sides of builtin construction. Please ask a Barbeques Galore associate
for full details.
NOTE: When installing a barbecue equipped for liquid
propane in an island, the propane tank must be in a separate enclosure that is completely isolated from the barbecue. It must be cross-ventilated in accordance with the current standard. The propane tank MUST NEVER be
installed directly under the barbecue.
