DANGER:
Never use this outdoor grill inside any building, garage, shed or breezeway, or inside any boat, trailer or recreational
vehicle to prevent a possible fire and to prevent the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.
WARNING:
Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surface or covered area (e.g., awnings, umbrellas, porches or gazeboes).
Always confirm that this grill is not positioned under the overhang of a house, a garage or other structure before lighting it. An
overhang will serve to deflect flare-ups and radiated heat into the structure itself, which could result in a fire.
Always confirm that this grill is positioned more than
building or combustible materials or surface before lighting it, and that no gasoline
or other volatile substances are stored in the vicinity of this grill.
(See diagram to right). The temperature of a grease fire or of the radiated heat
might otherwise be sufficient to ignite nearby combustible or volatile substances.
Always locate this grill where there will be ample combustion and ventilation air,
but never position it in the direct path of a strong wind.
Never allow the grill to operate while unattended to prevent uncontrolled grease fires
from erupting.
Never attempt to move this grill while it is in operation or while it is still hot to prevent possible personal injury.
Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile substances in the vicinity of this grill or in the vicinity of any other
heat-generating appliance because of the danger of starting a fire.
Always confirm that the installation of this grill conforms with the requirements of all local codes or, in the absence of applicable
local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. NFPA 54 or CAN/CGA-B149.2.

DANGER – Gas Safety
Liquefied propane (LP) gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of its characteristics before using
any propane product.
Propane Characteristics: Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and settles in pools in low areas.
In its natural state, propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.
Contact with propane could cause freeze burns to the skin.
This grill is shipped from the factory for propane gas use only.
Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.
Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane gas supplier.
CAUTION:
It is essential to keep the grill’s valve compartment, burners and circulating air passages clean.
Inspect the grill before each use
Step 1. Inspect all hoses and connections and make certain they are secure.
Step 2. Check and clean the burner venturi tubes for insects and insect nests by removing the burner and inserting a bottle
brush cleaner into each tube to make sure the passage is clear.
*** A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill. ***
Step 3. Ensure that the valve nozzle is pointing straight and completely inserted into the venturi tube.

venturi tube and nozzle
on one line.
WARNING:
Adjusting the air-shutter while the grill is on operation. If it still hot, please wear protective gear and be careful. Failure to follow
this instruction could cause personal injury.
Flare-ups
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some flaring is
normal and desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is
necessary, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.
WARNING:
Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down to LOW or OFF if flare-ups intensify.
Shutting Off Burners
1.
Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, and then press and turn it to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob
without pressing it. This could damage the valve.
Promptly turn the gas supply to the “OFF” position at the propane cylinder.
2.
3.
Close the lid of the grill.
Excess flow safety valve reset procedure

The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leek. However,
unsafe practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
●
A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the burner
control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
●
This procedure effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a Natural Gas
model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank
●
To ensure the procedure is safely and successfully performed, please carefully follow these instructions.

4. Open the lid of the grill.
5. Turn burner control knobs to HIGH.
6. Wait at least 1 minute.

14. Wait for 10-15 minutes; the temperature should reach 400 – 450°F.
WARNING:
The cylinder valve always has to be above the horizontal position, for the cylinder to have vapor withdrawl only.
