serious bodily injury, death or property damage.
Whether this grill was assembled by you or
someone else, you must read this entire manual
before using your grill to ensure the grill is
properly assembled, installed and maintained.

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

fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill can ignite
leaking gas and cause a fire or explosion which
could result in property damage, personal injury
or death.

California Proposition 65

Combustion byproducts produced when using
this product contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth de­fects, or other reproductive harm.

Brass components on the grill, such as hose

which is known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc­tive harm.

Never use charcoal or lighter fluid in this gas
grill. Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in a grease fire or explosion that
could cause serious bodily injury, death or
property damage.

The Grease Draining Tray and Grease Recep­tacle must be visually inspected before each
grill use. Remove any grease and wash Grease
Draining Tray and Grease Receptacle with a
mild soap and warm water solution. Failure to

comply with these instructions could re­sult in a grease fire or explosion that could
cause serious bodily injury, death or prop­erty damage.

LPG models must be used with Liquid
Propane Gas and the regulator assembly

Pre-Assembly Instructions For Your Safety

Grill Installation Codes

The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane
Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.

3

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.

Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause
serious bodily injury, death or property damage.

WARNING

! !

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.

Remove the screw from the rear of each Burner
using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice.
Check and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for
insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can
lead to a fire beneath the grill.
Refer to the figure below and perform one of
these 3 cleaning methods:

Orifice Burner Tube

Gas Valve Assembly

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.

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.

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.
Never use charcoal in this gas grill.

17

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.

C.

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.
Outdoor cooking gas appliance shall not be used
under overhead combustible construction.
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.
In windy conditions, always position the front of grill to
face oncoming wind to reduce smoke and heat blowing in
your face and prevent potential hazards to self and grill.

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.
