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.

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
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
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 Burner Ports of the manual.
WARNING
Pls ensure cleaning the flame tamer/cooking
grid/grease pan/tray after each use. Failure to
comply this could result in a fire or explosion that
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property
damage.
!
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 “FLASHBACK” 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.
