an Overfill Prevention Device.

This safety feature prevents the tank from being
overfilled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas
tank, regulator and/or grill.

The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in
accordance with specifications of the U.S. Dept. of
Transportation (DOT). In Canada, the LP gas tank

vapor withdraw.

3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to

Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill
is to be used outdoors only, at least 24 inches from
the back and side of any combustible surface. Your
gas grill should not be used under overhead

combustible construction. Do not obstruct the flow of
ventilation air around the gas grill housing.

• Do not install this outdoor gas grill in or on
recreational vehicles or boats

• Keep outdoor gas grill area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Check for this each time prior to using

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 the hose assembly
supplied with your gas grill. Replacement regulators
and hose assemblies must be those specified in this

manual.

• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable
propane gas dealer and visually inspected and re-
qualified at each filling.

• Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or

• near this appliance.

• Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full. If this
information is not followed exactly a fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.

• Always keep LP gas tanks in an upright position.

• Do not store (or) or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
gas grill.

• 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 or other indoor

location, always disconnect the LP gas tank first
and store it safely outside.

• 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 gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-

ventilated area and out of reach of children.

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

• When your gas grill is not in use the gas must be

turned off at the LP gas tank.

• The regulator and hose assembly must be
inspected before each use of the grill. Ifthere is
excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it
must be replaced prior to the grill being used
again.

• Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot grill
surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary

twisting of hose. Visually inspect the hose prior to

each use for cuts, cracks, excessive wear or

other damage. If the hose appears damaged do

not use the gas grill. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME for a
replacement hose.

• 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.

WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas

indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or
the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the
steps listed below could result in a fire or
explosion that could cause serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage.

• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

• Turn the control knobs to OFF position.

• Put out any flame with a proper fire extinguisher.

• Open Grill Lid.

• Get away from the LP gas tank.

• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

• If odor continues or you have a fire you can not
extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call
near the LP gas tank because your telephone is

a form of electrical device and could create a
spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator
and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A
low volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not

interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise

is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from
the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be done every
time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For

help with this procedure refer to page 14, Item 4 of "If
Grill Still Fails To Light", or call the Grill Information

Center at 1-800-913-8999.

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally

spin webs or make nests inthe grill burner tubes

during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead

to gas flow obstruction which could result in afire in

and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as

"FLASH-BACK" and can cause serious damage to

your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for

the user.

Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only

cause of "FLASH-BACK", it is the most common

cause.

To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", you must

clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill,

and at least once a month in late summer or early fall
when spiders are most active. Also perform this

burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not

been used for an extended period of time.

See Cleaning Burner Tubes and Ports on page # 18.

....

Visually check the burner flames prior to each use. The
flames should look like picture, if they do not, refer to the

cleaning burner tubes and ports, see page 15 of this
manual.
