requirements.
• LP tank designed for use with your grill measures 12”
(diameter) x 12-1/2” (tall) with 14 lb. capacity maximum. LP
tank which measures 12” (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7
cm) (tall) with 20 lbs. (9 kg.) capacity maximum may also be
used.
• Be constructed and marked in accordance with
specifications for LP tank of the U. S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CAS-B339,
cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous
goods, Transport Canada (TC). See LP tank collar for
marking.
• LP tank 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

DANGER
• Do not insert any tool or foreign objects into the
valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage
the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may
result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or
death.
• If a leak is detected at any time, STOP and call the
fire department.
• If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP
tank valve and call LP gas supplier or your fire
department!
• If the regulator frosts turn off grill and LP tank
valve immediately. This indicates a problem with
the tank and it should not be used on any product.
Return to supplier!
LP Tank Removal, Transport And Storage
• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn coupling
nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to
disconnect. Remove attachment holding LP tank, then lift up
and off support bracket. Install safety cap onto LP tank 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.

Safety
Cap
• A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must
have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP
tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch,
covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP tank
inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.
Always keep LP tank in upright position during use, transit or
storage.

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 Tank Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge a new tank before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank
volume. Volume of propane in tank will vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP
tank 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 tank, 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 Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only
those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision
fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank
only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as
described in the "LP Tank" section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
Leak Test
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged
or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak checked outdoors in well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or active
electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from
open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water solution. Use
mild soap and water. s Do not use household cleaning
agents. Damage to gas train components can result.
1. Turn control knob to OFF.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning hand wheel
counter clockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off
immediately. There is a major leak at the connection.
Correct before proceeding.
4. Brush soapy solution onto following connections:
• LP tank valve (1) including threaded portion into tank;
• Regulator fitting, face at crimps and vent hole (2).
• Hose (3) and all connections;
• All LP tank welds (LP tank collar, middle and bottom) (4).
5. “If growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank
valve immediately. Re-tighten connections and repeat leak
test procedures. If leaks cannot be stopped replace parts.
Order new parts by giving the serial, model number and
name of items needed to the Grill Service Center at
1-800-241-7548.
6. Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by
turning hand wheel clockwise.

WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or
move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier
or your fire department!
Connecting Regulator to the LP Tank
1. Turn control knob OFF.
2. Turn LP tank OFF by turning hand wheel clockwise to a full
stop (A).
3. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use
cap and strap supplied with valve.
4. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B) into LP tank valve. Nipple
must be centered in LP tank valve. Hand tighten coupling
nut, holding regulator in a straight line(C) with LP tank
valve so as not to cross thread the connection.
5. Turn coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full solid stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-check feature in LP tank valve,
resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to
three quarters turn is required to complete connection.
Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.
Note: If you cannot complete the final connection, disconnect
regulator and repeat steps 4 and 5. If you are still unable
to complete the connection, do not use this valve and
regulator! Call 1-800-241-7548 for a replacement.
6. Follow “Leak Test” instructions on the following page.

tightness.
sWhen grill is not in use, turn off control knob and LP tank
valve.
sNever move grill while in operation or still hot.
sUse long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid
burns and splatters.

completely cooled.
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.
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".
WARNING

position. Valve should turn smoothly.
Before Your First Cookout

up grill on HIGH for 15 minutes. Curing of paint and parts will
produce an odor only on first lighting.
Burner Flame Check
1. Light burner in grill bottom using long-stem match as
described in Match Lighting.
2. Push in and rotate knob from HIGH to LOW. You should see
a noticeably smaller flame in LOW position from that seen in
HIGH position. Always check flame, as described above, prior
to each use
s Let grill cool before placing briquets.
• Always close LP tank valve and remove coupling nut
before moving LP tank from specified operating
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
tank off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been
regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may
damage the product.
