WARNINGS
Do not store a spare or disconnected liquid propane cylinder under or near the barbecue.
Improper assembly may be dangerous. Please carefully follow the assembly instructions in this manual. After a period of storage, and/or nonuse, the MHP Gas Barbecue Grill should be checked for gas leaks and
burner obstructions before use. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures. Do not operate the MHP Gas Barbecue Grill if there is a gas leak present.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of your MHP Gas
Barbecue Grill. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable on, or in the storage area under the barbecue. Children should never use your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill. Accessible parts of the barbecue may be very hot.
Keep young children away while it is in use. You should exercise reasonable care when operating yo ur MHP Ga s Ba rbe cue Grill. It will be hot during
cooking or cleaning and should never be left unattended, or moved while in operation. Should the burners go out while in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open lid and wait five minutes before
attempting to relight, using the lighting instructions. Do not use charcoal or lava rock in your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill.
Never lean over open grill or place hands or fingers on the front edge of cooking box. Do not enlarge the valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners. The MHP Gas Barbecue Grill should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis. Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in a liquid propane
unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty. Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.
Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating barbecue.
LIQUID PROPANE GAS UNITS ONLY
Use the regulator that is supplied with your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator or any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation. A dented or rusty propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your local liquid propane
supplier. Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve. Although your liquid propane cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the propane
cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly. If you see, smell or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the liquid propane cylinder:
1. Move away from the liquid propane cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3. Call your fire department.

General Instructions
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This installation guide provides you with easy to fol­low illustrations and instructions to assemble your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill.
Before you start assembling and using your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill we recommend that you read through all precautions, safe guards and instruc­tions to avoid any personal injury or property damage.
Check Local Codes. Contact your local LP dealer or
Natural Gas company for recommended installation procedures and regulations. If there are no local codes, installation must conform to the latest National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1. For Canada, installa­tion must comply with local codes and/or Standard CAN/CGA-B-149-1 for natural gas installation and CAN/CGA- B-149-2 for propane installation.
For LP Gas Models the supplied Gaslow GS-801 Regulator must be used. Any replacement pressure regulator or hose assembly must meet or exceed the specifications of the Gaslow GS-801 Regulator.
For Natural Gas Models the grill is designed to oper­ate at a pressure of 7” water column (W.C.) (1.75 kPa). Check your gas utility for local pressure. Pres­sures other than approximately 7” W.C. could affect the performance of your grill.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
There are 9 steps to assembling your MHP Gas Bar­becue Grill: The mounting, LP tank mounting, control panel, gas supply connection, grill lid, lid handle, side shelves, and rock grate, cooking grid and warming rack.
The grill itself is p ar ti al l y a ss em b l e d w it h th e B u rn e r, Venturis, Ignitor Collector Box and the Gaslow Regu­lator installed.
The JNR and WNK grills are specifically designed to fit the five mounting methods: Cart, In-Ground Post, Deck/Patio Base, Optimum Console and Built-in. The TJK Grill is supported by the Optimum Console mounting and Built-in.
You will need the following tools to assemble your grill:
A Phillips head screwdriver
A standard flat head screwdriver
Two 7/16” wrenches or sockets
STORAGE
Turn gas OFF at the LP cylinder (or at the shut OFF valve in the case of Natural Gas) when the MHP Gas Barbecue Grill is not in use.
Do not store spare LP cylinders under the MHP Gas Barbecue Grill.
Store disconnected LP cylinders outdoors in a well­ventilated area, do not store in shed, building, garage or in any enclosed area.
OPERATING SAF EGU AR DS
Do not install your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Never use your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill near combustible surfaces, including roof over­hangs, roofs, vinyl siding and window shut­ters. Maintain at least a 6-foot clearance.
Use this barbecue outdoors in a well­ventilated area.
Do not use your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill in a shed, garage, building, breezeway or a ny other confined area.
Do not use any kind of combustible material on or near the top, bottom, back or sides of the grill. Maintain at least a 2-foot clearance.
Leak test all gas supply line connections. Do not let children operate a gas grill.
Keep the area around the grill clear of com­bustible vapors or liquids such as gasoline.
When operating the grill do not leave unat­tended. Keep children and pets away.
Keep fuel supply hose and electrical supply cord away from any heated surface.
YOUR GRILL IS DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
It should also not be used in an e nclosed area such as a shed or garage because combustion u ses available oxy gen a nd dis­charges carbon monoxide. The grill must be l oc at e d no closer than 24" from any comb us ­tible surface behind or to the sides. Grill should not be located under overhead unprotected comb ustible surfaces. Keep the area a round the grill cle a r of c ombustible mater ials , flammable vapors or liquids such as gasoline. Do not obstruct the flow of com bustion and ventilation air.

Step 1: Patio Base Mounting Assembly
1. Turn base on edge and insert the 2’ post. Align the notches in the post with the notches in the base. IM­PORTANT: Close tolerances may require you to tap the top of the post to seat it completely in the base socket which will then align the bolt slots.
2. Fasten post to base with four ¼ - 20 x ¾" Hex bolts, washers and Kep nuts. Follow exact placement of washers as indicated. Tighten securely.
3. Attach the tube clip with the 8 - 32 self-tapping screw either on the right or left side of the base depending on the direction of your gas supply line.
(Fig. 5)
3. Secure the gas line with the tube clip. (Option: On a raised deck if the gas supply line is to be run straight up into the post from below use the tube clip to attach the gas line to the deck for support.
4. At the access door connect a 3/8" flare coupling (not supplied by MHP) to the gas supply line and Stainless Steel tubing. Position the tubing in the top notch of the post. Bend the tubing at the top end to match the Feed Line of the grill valve. Do not kink the tubing.
TUBE BENDING: For prop er b en din g of the stainless steel tubing, see page 26 for bending instructions.
Step 2: Deck/Patio Mounting Installation
(Fig. 6)
Position the patio base at the desired location on a
deck or patio. CAUTION: Be certain there are no
combustible mater ials abo ve, be hin d, left or right closer than 24" away.
1. Mark the location of the four holes at the outside corners of the patio base and drill four holes. The base will be fastened down with lag bolts (not sup­plied by MHP) after you have connected the gas supply line. The top post notch is the front and the rear access door will be in the back of the grill.
2. Run the gas supply line into the post from the bot­tom to reach the access door and bend it 90° to exit the base at either notch. The patio base is notched on two sides to allow the gas line to exit either right or left.
Step 3: Attaching The Grill Head Bottom To The
Deck/Patio Post
1. To make the post-to-flange connection easier, re­move the g rill b u rn e r b y t a ki ng o u t th e s m a ll clip lo ­cated under the bottom grill head. This will allow ac­cess to hold the Kep nuts inside the post.
2. Set the grill head bottom carefully in place, align holes and use the ¼ - 20 x ¾" bolts and ¼-20 Kep nuts to attach the grill flange to the post.

Step 1: In-Ground Mounting Installation
1. Dig a posthole about 8 inches wide by 2 feet deep. Caution: Locate the hole so that the mounted grill head has a clearance of 24 inches away from any combustible object or surface; above, back, left or right. Center the post in the hole and plumb it. Pour in
(Fig. 9)
cement (gravel) up to the gas line access hole. Keep in mind that the gas line access hole is on the back of the post and the notch at the top if fac­ing front. Recheck plumb and allow cement to set.
2. Run the gas supply line into the post access hole (just above the cement). Make a 90° bend to reach the access door opening. The gas supply line should be trenched at least 18 inches below the surface of the ground to prevent damage from digging. CAUTION: The gas supply
line must be regulated (in the case of natural gas that means connected after your gas meter and regulator) and that you have an easily ac­cessible shut-off valve.
3. At the access door connect a 3/8" flare coupling (not supplied by MHP) to the gas supply line and Stainless Steel tubing. Position the tubing in the top notch of the post. Bend the tubing at the top end to match the Feed Line of the grill valve. Do not kink

Step 1: Connect the Tank Locking Bar
(Fig. 10)
1. From box “A” locate and attach the Tank Lock Bar across the back of the pedestal column. Use the ¾" S.S. Hex bolt, Nylon Lock Bar Spacer and a Kep nut on each side to fasten the Tank Lock Bar in place. This spreads and holds the correct spacing at the back of the column.
Step 2: Attach the Base to the Pedestal
(Fig. 11)
1. Before bolting the pedestal column to the base, the 2-piece gasket must be installed to create a barrier between the two metals. Remove the backing strips from the gasket to expose the adhesive and stick the gasket to the bottom lip of the pedestal column. Make sure to align the holes.
2. Attaching the pedestal column to the base will be easier to handle by laying the pedestal column face down and matching the holes on the pedestal col­umn lip to the holes on the base. Use six ¾” bolts, four large rectangular washers, and on the under­side six round washers and KEP nuts. IMPORTANT: the large rectangular washers are used at the sides on top of the pedestal column lip. The round washers and KEP nuts are used under the base. Tighten securely and stand unit upright.
Note: While assem blin g, p eel t he thi n white protective film covering the stainle ss ste el s urfac es, especially in areas which will be partially hidden after assembled. Do Not
Scrape off.
