Serious Injury:
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that
burn (i.e. gasoline, propane, or any other
flammable liquid or gas).
• Do not block holes in bottom or back of grill.
• Check burner flames regularly.
• Never use regulator from this grill with any other
LP appliance.
• When cooking, the appliance must be on a level
surface in an area clear of combustible material.
• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. For outdoor
use only. Never use in an enclosed space such as
carport, garage, porch, covered patio, or under an
overhead structure of any kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.
• This appliance is not intended for and should
never be used as a heater.
• Do not cover grates with aluminum foil or any other
material. This will block burner ventilation and
create a potentially dangerous condition resulting in
property damage and/or personal injury.
• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch
fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water
heaters, I've electrical appliances, etc..
A
3 ft. (1m) minimum
• 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
LP (Liquefied Petroleum 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 an be smelled.
Propane Cylinder Use (1lb. Disposable)
• Use only cylinder marked “Propane Fuel”.
• Cylinder must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinder
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or
the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation
of Dangerous Goods.
• Size should be 4” diameter, 8” height, or 3” diameter,
10” height.
• Save cylinder cap and reinstall when not in use.
• Cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal. Gas cylinder must be upright in use.
IMPORTANT!
Leak Testing (1lb. Disposable)
• During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or
sparks and do not smoke. Grill must be leak tested
outdoors in a well ventilated area
• Leak test must be repeated each time gas cylinder is
replaced or after storage.
Materials needed include clean paint brush and 50/50
soap and water solution. Use mild soap and water. Do
not use household cleaning agents. Damage to
components can result.
1. Be sure control valve is turned OFF
2. Brush soapy solution onto connection between gas
cylinder and regulator at (A). If growing bubbles
appear, there is a leak. Retighten cylinder and
repeat soapy solution.
3. If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas cylinder from
regulator and check for damaged threads, dirt and
debris on regulator and gas cylinder. Also check to
see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at regulator
and gas cylinder openings. Remove any obstruction
that may be found and repeat leak test. IF threads
are damaged on either regulator or gas cylinder,
replace.
Brush soapy solution onto connections between
regulator piping to valve (B). If a leak is detected
remove cylinder. Do not use grill with a leak and do
not attempt to correct.

intense fire with risk of property damage,
serious injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping,
immediately get away for the LP
cylinder/appliance and call your fire
department.

CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER
If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is
weak, check and clean the venturi’s and burners.
Spiders or small insects are know to create
“flashback” problems by building nests and laying
eggs in the appliance venturi or burner obstructing
the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind
the control panel. This flashback can damage your
appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks
and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi tube assembly should be removed and
cleaned when ever the appliance has been idle for
an extended period of time.
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.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of
burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting
appliance.
1.Turn gas OFF at control knob and remove LP
cylinder.
2.Open top cover, remove cooking grate and warming
rack, shown A. This will expose the burner from
inside, shown B.
3.Remove 3 screws attaching burner, shown C
4.From the top of the grill, carefully lift burner out, shown
D.
5.Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
6.Clean burner as recommended below, shown E.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube.
Use the one easiest for you.
(A)Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook. Run hook
through 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 burner tube several times.
(C)Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force
air into the burner tube and out the burner
ports. Check each port to make sure air comes
out each hole.
7.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.
8.Insert burner into firebox .
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-
engage over valve opening. See illustration,
shown F.
9.Reattach burner with screws removed in step 3.
10.Reinstall heat tent, cooking grates and
warming rack. Ensure Cooking Grate ridges
run front to back (fig.A)

Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the
outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from
harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot
soapy water before and after handling raw meat and
poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-
to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean
platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria.
Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food
temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry
Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC (202)
720-3333, 10:00 am-4:00 pm EST.
How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often
browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed
meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food
to check for visual signs of doneness.
• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before
cooking in your appliance.
• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run
clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops
can be cooked to 145° F.
• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish
cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful
bacteria.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal
food temperatures.
