LP gas grill models are designed for use with a

included with grill. Never connect your gas grill to
an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.

2

Precautions

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 an
Overfill Prevention Device.

This safety feature prevents the tank from being
overfilled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas
tank, pressure 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 must
meet the National Standard of Canada ,CAN/CSA-B339 ,
Cylinders , spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods and Commission .

1. 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.

2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdraw.

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

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 pressure 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 pressure regulator and the hose assembly
supplied with your gas grill. Replacement pressure
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 re­qualified 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 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.

Always keep the LP cylinder at
90° (upright) orientation to
provide vapor withdraw.

• 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 well­ventilated 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 pressure regulator and hose assembly 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 the grill being used
again.

• Keep the gas pressure 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 1-800-4­MY-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 pressure
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 pressure 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 16, Item 4 of “If Grill Still Fails To Light”,
or call the Grill Information Center at 1-800-913-8999.

CAUTION: Beware of Flash-Back

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally

spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes
during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead
to gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire 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.

Burner Flame Check

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.
