22. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates
some byproducts which are on the list of substances known by the state of California to cause cancer, reproductive harm, or other birth defects. To reduce exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.
IMPORTANT: We urge you to read this manual carefully and follow the recommendations enclosed. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new gas grill. We also advise you retain this manual for future reference.
WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using only the gas specied by the
manufacturer on the rating plate. Do not attempt to operate your grill with other gases. Failure
to follow this warning could lead to a re hazard and bodily harm and will void your warranty.
WARNING: Make certain your LP (propane) tank is lled by a reputable propane dealer. An incorrectly lled or an overlled LP tank can be dangerous. The overlled condition combined
with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released by the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature increase
causes the propane to expand. LP gas released from the tank is ammable and can be explosive. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information concerning lling your LP tank.

COOKING WITH GAS
For Portable LP-Gas Connection
The cabinet has an opening in the bottom panel that allows a 20 lb. gas tank bottom ange to
drop into place (tank sold separately). This will help to lock the tank in place. Before installing your gas tank, lift up the safety tank ring (as shown in Fig. 21a). After positioning the tank in the opening, lower the safety tank ring to lock the tank in place. Use only a 20 lb. gas tank (see LP Gas Safety Requirements for Additional Information). As shown in Fig. 21b, it is
unsafe to operate the grill if the gas tank is not vertical.
LP Tank
Fig. 21a Fig. 21b
WARNING: The Type I connective coupling (see Fig. 22) supplied with your grill must not be replaced with a different type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will
result in loss of warranty, gas leakage, re and severe bodily harm.

The propane tank valve connection supplied with this grill incorporates four important safe guards: Hand Assembly, Hand Disassembly, Excess Flow Control and Temperature-Activated Shut-Off.
Lowes.com/masterforge
19
COOKING WITH GAS
a. Hand Assembly:
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. When connecting the regulator/burner valve assembly to the tank valve, turn the large plastic
nut clockwise until it stops.
3. Gas will not ow unless the plastic nut is completely connected.
4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
b. Hand Disassembly:
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn the large plastic nut counterclockwise until it is disassembled.
3. HAND LOOSEN ONLY.
c. Excess Flow Control and Low Heat:
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess ow device designed to supply the grill with sufcient gas ow under normal conditions yet control excess gas ow. Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess ow device providing a low ame and low temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas ow while a burner valve is open,
the surge of pressure will cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the
pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5 seconds. To ensure this does not cause difculty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
3. Light the burners one at a time following the lighting instructions.
d. Temperature-Activated Shut-Off:
The large plastic nut on the regulator assembly is designed in coordination with a check valve
in the tank valve to shut off the ow of gas when exposed to temperatures between
240-300° F.
In the event of a re or hose break, one of the safeguards will function to control or stop the ow of gas from the propane tank. Never attempt to use damaged equipment.
Important: Before the use of a fresh tank of gas, please check leakage around the connections according to section ‘Checking Gas Leaks’ and make sure there is no leakage or vapor accumulation in the cabinet. Make sure all openings around side walls are not blocked. Important: 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.

COOKING WITH GAS
(c) Provided with a tank connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor
cooking appliances.
The tank should be 12 in. in diameter and 18-1/2 in. tall and be equipped with a Type-1 tting.
The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The tank used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
Do not operate the gas grill indoors or in any enclosed area. If the gas grill is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply tank. If the grill is to be stored indoors, disconnect the gas supply tank and store the tank in an upright position in a cool, well-ventilated outdoor location away from your grill or any other heat source.
When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open ame. Use a soapy water solution and apply it to the pipe joints and ttings with a brush and check for bubbles. Check exible hoses
for cuts and wear that may affect the safe operation of the grill. Only the factory supplied hose
and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose assemblies specied
by manufacturer.
Checking Gas Leaks
Before operating your grill, after refueling, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight and there are no gas leaks.
1. Make 2-3 ounces of leak solution by mixing liquid dishwashing soap with water.
2. Make certain all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Brush small amounts of the leak solution on all the ttings and turn the gas on.
4. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Proceed to step 5.
5. Turn the gas off and tighten all connections.
6. Go back to step 1 to retest the ttings.
7. If bubbles continue to appear, turn the gas off. Contact customer service.
WARNING: Never use a match or open ame for leak detection. Use of an open ame could result in a re, explosion and bodily harm.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing any gas pipe or ttings, all joints must be
sealed with approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber’s tape.
Handling the Liquid Propane Tank Safely
Remember to handle your portable liquid propane tank carefully when you take it to your
dealer for a rell. Avoid dropping it or bumping it against sharp objects. Liquid propane tanks
are sturdily constructed, but a series of hard jolts could damage the container.
