FOR YOUR SAFETY

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. You

must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers an Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature pre-

vents 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 Canadian Transportation and Communications (CTC) specifications. Also be sure to read and follow all LP gas instructions on the following page.

The LP gas tank has a Shut Off 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 for

2. 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 24 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.

W AR NING!

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 manufacturer.

• 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 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 inside cabinet 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, store it safely outside.

• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a

well-ventilated area and out of the 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

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 our Customer Service Dept. for a replacement, at 1-800-667-7313.

• 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.

W AR NING

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 Class B 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 sound. A low volume of sound is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming sound 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 Grill Information Center.

Customer Service Dept., 8:00am-5:00pm EST, Monday through Friday at: 1-800-667-7313

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 com pany 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 supplied with this

appliance must be used. This Regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 4" W.C.

• It is recommended that a Shut Off 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

Figure 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.

Gas Line Piping

If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet.

• Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when

the gas supply is being tested at high pressures.

This gas grill and its individual Shut Off 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

tested at low pressures. The grill must be isolated from the gas supply pipe system by closing its individual Manual Shut Off Valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pipe system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).

• The Quick Disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch

NPT thread from gas source. The Quick Disconnect fitting is a hand operated device that automatically shuts off the the flow of gas from the source when it is disconnected.

• The Quick Disconnect fitting can be installed

horizontally,or pointing downward.DO NOT install the fitting with the opening pointing upward because the fitting could collect water and debris.

• The Dust Covers (plastic plugs) provided with

the Quick Disconnect help keep the open ends clean while disconnected.

• The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to

a ridged permanent construction.

Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of . 062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe.

Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas.

Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use.

Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner.

Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover.

Test Connections

All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1

DANGER!

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

• The Quick Disconnect MUST BE installed above

ground.

• WARNING: Do not route the 12 foot Quick

Disconnect Hose under a deck. The hose must be visible and inspected prior to each grill use.

CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASH-BACK

Pre-Assembly Instructions

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 CAU-

TION 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 Figure 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:

Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger

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.

Use a Burner Cleaning Brush, or a bottle brush

with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times, removing any debris.

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.
