Warranty Restrictions

•

•

•

This warranty is void if grill is used for
commercial or rental purposes.

This grill is safety certified for use only in the
country where purchased. Modification for
use in any other location is a safety hazard
and will void the warranty.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.

WARNING

!

!

•

•

•

Pre-Assembly Instructions For Your Safety

Spiders and small insects can spin webs and
nest in the grill Burner Tubes during transit and
warehousing which can lead to a gas flow
obstruction resulting in a fire in and around the
Burner Tubes. This type of "FLASHBACK FIRE"
can cause serious grill damage and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user.

To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK
FIRE you must clean the Burner Tubes
as follows before assembling your grill.

Also do this at least once a month in summer
and fall or whenever spiders are active in your
area, and if your grill has not been used for an
extended period of time.

CAUTION

! !

Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in injury.

WARNING

! !

For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assembly
Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using your
grill. See figure. If the Orifice is not inside the Burner
Tube, lighting the Burner may cause explosion

and/or fire resulting in serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.

METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and run
the hook through the Burner Tube and inside
the Burner several times to remove debris.

METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible
handle and run the brush through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to
remove any debris.

METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air
through each Burner Tube. The forced air
should pass debris or obstructions through the
Burner and out the Ports.

TO CLEAN BURNER TUBE, INSERT HOOK
HERE

1. Remove the screw from the rear of each Burner
using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.

2. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice.

3. Check and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.

4. Refer to the figure below and perform one of
these 3 cleaning methods:

Be sure all Control Knobs are set to
"OFF" and open the Grill Lid.
Have your assistant stand behind to the
right of the grill and look toward the front
of the grill bowl. Never put your face
inside the Grill Head.
Press the Ignitor Cap. You should hear
a "clicking" sound. Your assistant should
see a blue spark within each Gas
Collector Box. If a spark is present the
Electrode Tips are properly positioned.
If no spark is seen, the Spark Gap
needs to be adjusted as follows:

This test will ensure that the Spark Electrode Tips
are properly positioned so your grill lights easily
and properly.

•

•

•

Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the
Inside Nut until the Gas Collector Box can
be turned upward.
If the gap between the Spark Elec­trode Tip and Receiver is more than
3/16" use long nose pliers to gently
squeeze the Gas Collector Box to
narrow gap.
Return the Gas Collector Box to its
original position, secure the Inside Nut
and try the Electrode Check again. If no
"clicking" sound is heard:

AA Battery may be installed backwards.
Electric wires may be loose. Remove
the AA Battery and inspect the Ignitor
Junction Box found behind the Control
Panel and reconnect any loose wires.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE

LP Gas grill models are designed for use with a
standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank,
not included with grill. Never connect your gas grill to
an LP Gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of
approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches
high is the maximum size LP Gas tank to use. You

must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed
Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature

prevents tank from being overfilled which can cause
malfunction of LP Gas tank, regulator and/or grill.

Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your
gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with
your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure
of 11" water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP
gas tank. Only use the regulator and hose assembly
supplied with your gas grill. Replacement regulators

and hose assemblies must be those specified by
the Manufacturer.

Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve
after every filling to ensure it remains free of defects.

Always keep LP Gas tank in upright position.
Do not subject the LP Gas tank to excessive heat.
Never store an LP Gas tank indoors. If you store

your gas grill in the garage always disconnect the
LP Gas tank first and store it safely outside.

LP Gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well­ventilated area and out of the reach of children.

Disconnected LP Gas tanks must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.

The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after
opening the doors (if applicable) and must be
inspected before each use of the grill. If there is
excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it
must be replaced prior to using the grill again.

Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or
before checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully
seated over the gas valve orifices.

Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not
allow children or pets to play near your grill.

The LP Gas tank must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/
CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable.

The LP Gas tank must have a shutoff valve,
terminating in an LP Gas supply tank valve outlet,
that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection
device. The LP Gas tank must also have a safety
relief device that has a direct connection with the
vapor space of the tank.

The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.

The LP Gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.

WARNING

!!

Do not store a spare LP-Gas tank under or near
this appliance.
Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full; and
If the information in "(a)" and "(b)" is not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.

A.
B.

C.

Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability to
assemble and operate the appliance.

Keep fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the
event of a oil/grease fire, do not attempt to
extinguish with water. Use type B extinguisher
or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off
the burner and gas supply.

Use your grill on a level, stable surface in an
area clear of combustible materials.

Do not leave grill unattended when in use.
Do not move the appliance when in use.
Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.
Do not use your grill as a heater.
This grill is not intended to be installed in

or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

•

•

•

WARNING

!

!

Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any
wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet
away from combustible objects that can melt

or catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding,
fences and overhangs) or sources of ignition
including pilot lights on water heaters and live
electrical appliances.

Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.

Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your gas grill housing.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs

Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP Gas tank through an exchange
service. Use only those reputable exchange compa­nies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their
tanks. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped tank as described in the LP Gas tank
section of this manual.

Ÿ

How to Leak Test your LP Gas Tank

LP Gas Model only:
Connect Regulator with Hose to your LPG Tank

LP Gas Model only:
Secure a 20lb LP Gas Tank to Gas Grill

Turn your LP Gas Tank Valve clockwise to the
closed or OFF positon.

Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use,

at the beginning of each season, or every time
your LP Gas tank is changed, you must check for
gas leaks. Follow these three steps:

Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.

Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position, then turn the gas ON at source.

Apply the soap solution to all gas connections
indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If
bubbles appear in the soap solution the
connections are not properly sealed. Check
each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
