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.
• If the information in the two points above is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
• An overfilled 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 and appliance and call your fire department.
LP Tank
• The LP Tank used with your grill must meet the following requirements:
Use LP Tanks only with these required measurements: 12"
(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) capacity maximum.
• LP Tanks must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP Tanks of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, tanks, 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 hand wheel. Use
only LP Tanks equipped with this type of valve.
• LP Tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect LP Tank valve. Always keep LP Tanks in upright position during use, transit or storage.

• Do not store an LP tank in an area where children play.
4 • 464220110
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 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
Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank
• 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 tanks. 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.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is
not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps
or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
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 tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure below. Leaks are indicated by growing bubbles.
WARNING

Safety Tips
sBefore opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for
tightness.
sWhen grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP
cylinder valve.
sNever move grill while in operation or still hot. sUse long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid
burns and splatters.
sMaximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs. sThe grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after
each use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has completely cooled.
s Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle
brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces,
ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
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.
sKeep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free
and clear of debris.
sDo not store objects or materials inside the grill cart
enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
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". sIf the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve
immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!
• 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.

Hose Check
Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only
identical replacement part valve/hose/regulator as specified in the Parts List of this Use and Care Guide.
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.
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. s Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER TUBE
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the burner tubes.
CONTROL PANEL
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s burner tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner tube behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and burner tube assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
VALVE
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 manufacturers.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” 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.
1. Turn gas OFF at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2.
Remove cooking grates and flame tamers.

3. Remove carryover tubes and burners.
4.
Detach electrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner configuration. See different configurations in illustrations below.
5. 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: 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.
6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
8. 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 illustration at right.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace burners.
