The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA S4, Natural gas and propane installation code, CSA B149.1, or propane storage and handling code, B149.2, or the standard for Recreational vehicles, ANSI A 119.2, and CSA Z240 RV series recreational vehicle code, as applicable. LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas tank, not included with grill. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.

Precautions

A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by 181/2 inches high is the maximum size LP gas tank to use. You must use an OPD gas tank which offers

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.

2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdraw.

3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar 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 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.

• Do not install this outdoor gas grill in or on recreational vehicles or boats

• Keep outdoor gas grill area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids

• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Check for this eac h time p rior to usi n g 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.

• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable

propane gas dealer and visually inspected and requalified at each filling.

• Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or

• near this appliance.

• Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full . If this

information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

• Always keep LP gas tanks in an upright position.

• Do not store (or) or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this 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 outside.

• 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 caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-

ventilated area and out of reach of children. Disconnected LP gas tanks must not be stored in 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 1-800-4-MY-HOME for assistance.

• 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.

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, Item 4 of “If Grill Still Fails To Light”, or call the Customer Service Helpline 8 AM to 5 PM PST at: 1-800-913-89 99

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.

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.

See Cleaning Burner Tubes and Ports on page # 14

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 15 of this manual.
