Always turn off gas at the LP gas cylinder (liquid propane
also called liquid petroleum gas) when the appliance is
not in use. Disconnect the cylinder before storage.
Do not alter the grill in any manner.
Do not use this appliance unless it is fully and properly
assembled and all parts are securely fastened.
Never attempt to light burner with the lid closed. A build
up of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is hazardous.
Open the cabinet door and inspect the hose for damage
before each use. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion
or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to
the grill being put into operation. The replacement hose
assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.
When in use, keep children and pets away at all times.
Do not leave the grill unattended.

CYLINDER
Fig. 20
USING LP GAS (LIQUID PROPANE ALSO
CALLED LIQUID PETROLEUM)
LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly
when mixed with air. The LP gas cylinder used with this grill
must meet the following requirements:
• Constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department
of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of
Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes
for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
• Measurements: 12 in. diameter x 18 in. tall with 20 lb.
maximum capacity.
• Cylinder valve must have:
— Cylinder connection device (Type 1) compatible with
the connector for the grill
— Safety relief valve
— UL listed Overfill Protection
Device (OPD). This OPD safety
feature is identified by a unique
triangular handwheel. Use only
LP gas cylinders with this type
of valve.
• Arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to
protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP gas cylinder
in upright position during use, transport, or storage.

cylinder valve.
NOTE: Nipple must be centered in the cylinder valve.
Holding coupling nut and regulator as shown, turn coupling
nut clockwise and tighten by hand taking care not to
cross-thread the connection. Do not use tools.
NOTE: The regulator will seal in the cylinder valve resulting
in some resistance. An additional one-half to three-
quarters turn is required to complete the connection.
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect and
repeat the above two steps. If you still cannot complete
the connection, DO NOT use this regulator!
Inspect valve connections port and regulator. Look for any
damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for
damage. Never attempt to use damaged or plugged
equipment. See your local LP Gas Dealer for repairs.

DANGER:
DO NOT smoke or use an open flame during leak test.
If a leak is present, the gas could ignite and result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always check for gas
leaks any time the LP gas cylinder is disconnected and
then reconnected.
STEP 16: TESTING VALVES, HOSE, AND
REGULATOR FOR LEAKS
See Figure 25.
Connections on the hose and regulator were tested at the
factory to ensure no gas leaks were present. However,
shipping and handling could loosen connections. As a safety
precaution:
Turn all control knobs on the control panel off.
Make sure the regulator is properly connected to the LP
gas cylinder.
To open the cylinder valve: turn handwheel counter -
clockwise.
If you hear a rushing sound, immediately turn off the
cylinder valve. This sound means there is a major leak at
the connection. Correct the problem before proceeding.
Using a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mixture of mild soap
and water, brush soapy solution over all the connections
and fittings on the grill.
“Growing” bubbles indicate a leak. Close the cylinder
valve then retighten all connections.
NOTE: If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair.
Call for replacement parts.
If you are not using the grill immediately after the leak test,
close the cylinder valve by turning the valve clockwise.
STEP 17: TESTING THE LP GAS CYLINDER
See Figure 26.
Turn the control knobs on the control panel off, turn off
the LP gas cylinder valve, and disconnect the regulator
from the cylinder.
Remove the LP gas cylinder from inside the cabinet.
Using a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mixture of mild
soap and water, brush soapy solution over areas indicated
by arrows.
“Growing” bubbles indicate a leak. Do not use or
move the gas cylinder. Contact a gas supplier or the fire
department!
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of escaping gas from
the liquid propane cylinder:
• Move away from liquid propane cylinder
• Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself
• Call your local fire department

SAFETY TIPS FOR USING THE GRILL
Before opening the LP gas cylinder valve, check the
coupling nut for tightness and perform a leak test.
Trim excess fat from meat to reduce flare ups from
drippings.
When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and the
cylinder valve.
Do not move grill during cooking or while the grill is hot.
To avoid burns and splatters while cooking and the grill
is hot, use long-handled utensils and oven mitts.
Do not use the grill if the grease tray and grease cup are
not clean and properly installed.
Once the grill has cooled, clean promptly.
Do not let grease or hot material drip from the grill onto
the valve, hose, or regulator. Correct the problem before
use.
If the regulator frosts, immediately turn off the grill and
cylinder valve. This indicates a problem with the LP gas
cylinder and it should not be used. Return the cylinder
to the supplier.
Do not leave the grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue. If the grill has not been regularly
cleaned as instructed, a grease fire can occur.
Never use water on a grease fire.
Perform a burner flame check before each use (see the
Maintenance section).
GRILLING GUIDE
High — for preheating the grill, searing steaks and other cuts
of meat, burning off food residue from grate.
Medium — for most grilling, baking, and roasting.
Low — for cooking fish and other lean foods.
COOKING/GRILLING TIPS
The best oils to use when grilling meats are high-
temperature oils (i.e., peanut, canola, safflower, and
cottonseed oils).
Dry off meat prior to grilling. Dry meat browns; wet meat
steams.
Grill with the hood down.
Keep grates clean. A clean grate is less likely to be sticky
and will last longer.
Clean the hood and inside the firebox often. A grease
build-up is a fire hazard and adds unwanted flavors to
your fresh food.
Before lighting the burners, spray grates with non-stick
spray to prevent food from sticking.
Always preheat the grill 10 – 15 minutes prior to use.
Before you start grilling, organize the food by cooking
technique, required cooking time, and grilling area
required.
Sauces containing sugars and fats can cause flare-ups
and burn your food. Apply these sauces only in the last
10 minutes of cooking.
Marinades and rubs enhance the flavor of food. A dry rub
or liquid marinade can be used prior to cooking.
FOOD SAFETY
Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat.
Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods.
Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked
food from the grill.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal
temperature of meat.
USDA Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures
of Food:
• 145°F for beef, veal, lamb, steaks, and roast
• 145°F for fish
• 160°F for ground pork, beef, veal, and lamb
• 160°F for pork
• 160°F for egg dishes
• 165°F for turkey, chicken, and duck (whole, pieces, and
ground)
Refrigerate prepared and leftover foods promptly.

RESETTING THE GAS REGULATOR SAFETY
DEVICE
Since 1995, all regulators include a safety feature that
restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. If you turn on
the control knob before turning on the cylinder valve, you
can activate this feature. Even with all the burners turned
on high, the grill won’t get hotter than 250°F to 300°F. It will
then be necessary to reset the gas regulator safety device.
To reset:
Open the hood and turn all control knobs on the
control panel OFF ( O ).
Close cylinder valve completely and disconnect the
regulator from the LP gas cylinder.
Wait 30 seconds and reconnect the regulator.

CLEANING BURNER ASSEMBLY AND
CHECKING VENTURI FOR INSECTS
See Figures 30 - 33.
DANGER:
Failure to clean the burner assembly and checking the
venturi as described can result in a fire or explosion
resulting in serious injury or death.
Burners should be cleaned when the grill has been idle
for some time. In some parts of the country, spiders and
other insects can spin webs, build nests, and lay eggs in
the venturi blocking gas flow and causing fire in the tubes
known as “flashback”. Flashback can damage the grill and
even cause injury.
Turn all control knobs on the control panel OFF ( O ).
Lift and remove cooking and heat grates from inside the
grill.
Remove hitch pin securing the burner(s) to the bottom of
the grill.
Pull electrode wire from the electronic ignitor.
Lift burner up and away from the gas valve openings.
All plastic parts, stainless-steel and painted surfaces, should
be cleaned with warm soapy water and wiped dry. Cooking
surfaces should be cleaned with a bristle brush only. Check
that no loose bristles remain on the cooking grates prior to
using.
Cooking grates:
Clean before and after each use with a stiff wire brush.
Heat tents:
Scrape any build up off the heat tents using a wire brush.
Grease tray and grease cup:
After use, allow the grease in the tray and cup to cool
then empty into the garbage.
Empty after each use to avoid spillage and flare ups.

MAINTENANCE
Clean burner tubes using one of the following three ways:
1. Bend a stiff wire into a small hook. Run the hook
through each burner tube several times.
2. Use a narrow bottle brush with flexible handle and
run through burner tubes several times. DO NOT use
a wire brush.
3. Wear eye protection then use an air hose to force air
into the burner tube and out through the burner port.
Clean any clogged port with an opened paper clip.
Once burner tubes are clear of debris, use a wire brush to
remove food and dirt from the outer surface of the tubes.
Check burner for damage. Normal wear and corrosion
may cause some holes to enlarge. Replace burners if this
happens.
NOTE: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings.
Verify that the gas valve orifice is correctly positioned
inside burner inlet.
Attach the electrode to the burner and carefully replace
the burners.
Slide burners into brackets inside the grill and secure
burners using hitch pins.
