Grill Installation Codes
This gas grill must be installed in accordance with
all local codes. In areas without local codes,
follow the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation must
conform to standard CAN/CGA 1b149.1 or 1-b149.
2 (Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances
and Equipment) and all local codes.
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 box. 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. We recommend
buying an "OPD" gas tank which offers an Overfill
Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents the
tank from being overfilled which can cause mal-
function 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 must meet the Canadian Transportation and Communications (CTC) specifications.
Also be sure to read and follow all LP instruc-
tions on the following page.
If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in
use, the gas must be turned off at the supply
cylinder.
(a) Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under
or near this appliance;
(b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent
full; and
(c) If the information in (a) and (b) is not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
2
1.
The LP gas tank has 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
communication with the vapor space of the
tank.
The tank supply system must be arranged
2.
for vapor withdrawal.
The LP gas tank used must have a collar
3.
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 21 inches from the
back and side of any combustible surface. Your
gas grill should not be placed under any surface
that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation
air around the gas grill housing.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
WARNING!
Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in a fire or explosion that
could cause serious bodily injury, death,
or property damage.
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 manufacture.
Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable
propane gas dealer and visually inspected and
re-qualified at each filling.
Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full.
Have your propane gas dealer check the
release valve after every filling to ensure that it
remains free of defects.
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.
An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must
NOT be stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of
this or any other 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 in a well-ventilated area
outside and out of the reach of children.
When your gas grill is not in use the gas
must be turned off at the LP gas tank.
Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot
grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid
unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect
the hose and regulator prior to each use for
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or other damage.
If the hose or regulator appear damaged do
not use the gas grill. Use a 7/8" open end
wrench turning the fitting counter clockwise
until loose. Replace as necessary with manufactures hose and regulator replacement part
from the parts list. Call our service center at
1-800-770-9769.
Never light your gas grill with the lid closed
or before checking to insure the burner tubes
are fully seated over the gas valve orifices.
Never allow children to operate your grill. Do
not allow children to play near 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 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 cannot
extinguish, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank because your
telephone is an 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
call the Customer Service Helpline for
assistance.

Natural Gas Safety Instructions
Your natural gas grill is designed to operate on
natural gas only, at a pressure of 7" water column
(W.C.) (1/4 psig or 1.75 kpa), regulated at the
residential meter. Check with your gas utility
company for local gas pressure and with your local
municipality for building code requirements. If your
residential gas line pressure has not been regulated to 7" W.C., contact your local gas utility
company for professional assistance.
The gas pressure regulator provided with this
appliance must be used. This regulator is set
for an outlet pressure of 4" W.C.
It is recommended that a Shutoff Valve be installed at
the gas supply source outdoors. Install at a point after
the gas pipe exits the outside wall and before the
quick-disconnect hose, or install it at the point before
the gas line piping enters the ground. See ILL. 1.
Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape resistant
to the action of natural gas must be used on all male
pipe threads when making the connection.
Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when
the gas supply is being tested at high pressures.
This gas grill and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system
during any pressure testing of that system at
pressure in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).
Turn off your gas grill when the gas supply is
being tested at low pressures. The grill must be
isolated from the gas supply pipe system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply pipe
system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi
(3.5kpa).

CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASH-BACK
Before Using Your Grill
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 a gas
flow obstruction which could result in a fire
in and around the burner tubes. This type of
fire is known as a "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.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" (see
CAUTION at left ) clean the burner tubes and
burners before fully assembling your grill. Remove the cotter pin from the rear underside of
each burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
Carefully lift each burner up and away from the
gas valve orifice, then refer to ILL. 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger
1.
works well) into a small hook as shown
below. Run the hook through the burner tube
and inside the burner several times to remove
any debris.
2.
Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run
the brush through the burner tube and inside
the burner several times, removing any debris.
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.
!
WARNING
The location of the burner tube with respect
to the orifice is vital for safe operation.
Check to ensure the orifice is inside of the
burner tube before using your gas grill. See
ILL. 2. If the burner tube does not fit over
the valve orifice, lighting the burner may
cause explosion and/or fire.
