GENERAL WARNINGS:
WARNING
• Leak test all connections before rst use, even if grill was purchased fully assembled and after each
tank re ll. Check the propane tank rubber seal for damage.
• Always check the grill and propane tank prior to each use as indicated in the “Checking for Leaks” &
“Pre-Start Check List” sections of this manual.
• Never use natural gas in a unit designed for liquid propane gas.
• Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal smoking box to contain ash and prevent res.
• Ensure ames come out of all burner ports at each use. Spiders and insects like to build nests in
burner tubes. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas ow to the burners and could result in a burner
tube re or re beneath the grill.
• Never check for leaks using a match or open ame.
• Never use or store gasoline, lighter uid, paint thinner, or other ammable vapors and liquids or
combustible materials in or near your grill.
• DO NOT block ventilation areas in sides, back or cart compartment of grill.
• DO NOT cover cooking grates or other components with aluminum foil, as this blocks ventilation and
damage to grill or personal injury may occur.
• Never place more than 15 pounds on the side tables. DO NOT lean on the side tables. DO NOT lift grill
using side tables.
• Keep children and pets away from hot grill. DO NOT allow children to use or play near this grill.
• DO NOT leave the grill unattended while ON or in use.
• DO NOT allow the gas hose to come in contact with hot surfaces. Redirect the gas hose if necessary.

garage, etc) with a 15 foot (4.6 m) minimum clearance on back and all sides from any wall, structure
or combustible material.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 36 inches (91 cm) between all sides and back of grill, deck railings,
walls or other combustible material. Not adhering to these clearances may prevent proper ventilation
and can increase the risk of a re and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury.

LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK) SPECIFICATIONS AND INSTALLATION:
WARNING
• ONLY connect this grill to a Type 1 cylinder valve. The Type 1 valve can be identi ed with the
large external threads on the valve outlet.
• DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity.
• DO NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.
• Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use. A
damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, re or severe
bodily harm.
• Turn off the cylinder valve when your grill is not in use.
• Handle the tank with care.
• Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.
• Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your grill.
• DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.
• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill.
• Allow only quali ed LP gas dealers to ll or repair your LP gas cylinder.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be lled beyond 80% capacity.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on the cylinder and that accompany this
product.
DANGER
• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (full or empty) under or near your grill. This could cause
excess pressure to be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in re, explosion, or
severe personal injury, including death.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Proper ventilation is extremely
important. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from
obstructions and debris.
• DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the cylinder valve outlet as this could damage the
rubber seal. Do not use propane tank with a damaged rubber seal. A damaged rubber seal can
cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in explosion, re, severe bodily harm, or death. Inspect
rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use.
• Always keep cylinder (tank) in upright position during use, transit or storage.

LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK) SPECIFICATIONS:
LP gas cylinder (not supplied with this grill)
The LP (Liquid Propane) gas cylinder speci cally designed to be used with this grill must be 12” (30.5 cm)
diameter x 18” (45.7 cm) tall and have a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity incorporating a Type 1 cylinder valve and
an over- lling protection device (OPD).
This grill is designed to t Worthington, Manchester or SMPC brand 20 lb. (9.1 kg) cylinders. Other brand
DOT cylinders may t this grill if the cylinder has similar dimensions of the top and bottom rings.
The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with:
All applicable local codes, or in the absence of local codes, either:
• National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54
• Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1
• Natural Gas Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1 (Canada)
• Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.2 (Canada)
To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company. This grill was not
intended to be connected to a natural gas supply line.
When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas grill, it must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the speci cations for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and provided with a listed over- lling prevention device
(OPD), and provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
appliances.
The cylinder must also be equipped with:
• A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.
• A Type 1 valve that prevents gas ow until a positive seal is obtained.
• An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
• A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.
• A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
• A listed over- lling prevention device (OPD).
FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK):
WARNING
• Allow only quali ed licensed LP gas dealers to properly ll or repair your LP gas cylinder.
• New tanks should be purged prior to lling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be lled beyond 80% capacity. Over- lled tanks can create a
dangerous condition. Over- lled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel
propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or
ame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
• Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.
• If you exchange a cylinder with a quali ed exchange program, the new cylinder must have
a Type 1 valve and an over- lling prevention device (OPD).
• Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use. A
damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, re or severe
bodily harm.

LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK) RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION:
• Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks,
wear or deterioration prior to use. A damaged rubber
seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an
explosion, re or severe bodily harm.
• Inspection should be done each time the propane tank
is connected to the grill, has been re lled, exchanged or
has not been used for more than 60 days.
• Do not use a propane tank with a damaged rubber seal.
Exchange the tank or have the rubber seal replaced at a
quali ed propane lling station.
