USE AND CARE
DANGER
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the appliance or in an enclosed area.
• 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.
• Do not store an LP cylinder in an area where children play.

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). 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.
only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

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.
LP Cylinder Leak Test
For your safety
Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is exchanged
or refilled.
Do not smoke during leak test.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

"Troubleshooting Section"
• 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.
• 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.

CAUTION
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into the burner tubes attached to the burners. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The
webs or nests can be very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of gas. Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one month not being used.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result in a "flashback" (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burners.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1.
Smell gas.
2.
Burner(s) will not light.
3.
A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4.
Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP! Immediately turn off gas at LP cylinder! SOLUTION: Wait for grill to cool.
Follow the “ ” instructions. Clean burners often. Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tubes. You may also force a stream of water from a hose nozzle through burner tubes to clean them.
Storing Your Grill
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well­ventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by manufacturer.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow “
Assembly
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Cleaning the Burner
” instructions before starting grill.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.
1.
2. Remove cooking grates and flame tamers.
3. Remove screws and carryover tubes from rear of burners.
4. Remove screw and washers to disengage burner from bracket on firebox.
5. Remove screws to detach electrode from burner. Electrode should remain in firebox.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.
(A)
Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.
(B)
Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection:
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
9. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve
openings. See illustrations at right.
10. Attach electrode to burner.
11. Carefully replace burners.
12. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
13. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace flame tamers and cooking grates.
