an Overfill Prevention Device.
This safety feature prevents the tank from being
overfilled which can cause malfunction 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 National Standard of Canada ,Can
CSA –B339 , Cylinders , spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission .
1. 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 valve.
• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable
propane gas dealer and visually inspected and
re-qualified at each filling.

and store it safely outside.
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 24 inches from
the back and side of any combustible surface. Your
gas grill should not be used under overhead
combustible construction . Do not obstruct the flow of
ventilation air around the gas grill housing.

combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids
•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air, check for this each time prior to using grill.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Check for this each time prior too using
the 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 the hose assembly
supplied with your gas grill. Replacement regulators
and hose assemblies must be those specified in this
manual.
• 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

a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• When your gas grill is not in use the gas must be
turned off at the LP gas tank.
• The regulator and hose assembly 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 the grill being used
again.
• Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot grill
surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid
unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect
the hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks,
excessive wear or other damage. If the hose
appears damaged do not use the gas grill. Call 1800-913-8999 for assistance.

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 proper 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 can not
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. For
help with this procedure refer to page 13, step 4, or
call the Customer Service Helpline 8 AM to 5 PM
PST at: 1-800-913-8999
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
“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.
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 ports, see page 15of this
manual.
