Outdoor LP Gas Barbecue Grill Model No. GBC1001WC-C

DANGER: Failure to follow the dangers, warning and cautions in this manual may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage

to property.

WARNING:

This grill is for outdoor use only, and shall not be used in a building,

garage, or any other enclosed area. Do NOT operate, light or use this appliance within ten (10) feet (3.05 m)

of walls, structures or buildings.

For residential use only. This grill is NOT for commercial use.

This grill is not intended for and should never be used as a heater. TOXIC

fumes can accumulate and cause asphyxiation.

This grill is safety certified for use in the United States and/or Canada

only. Do not modify for use in any other location. Modification will result in a safety hazard. Apartment Dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements

and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a ten (10) foot (3.05 m) clearance from any structure. Do not use on or under balconies.

This grill is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to

or attempted use of natural gas in this LP gas grill is dangerous and will void your warranty.

LP gas Characteristics:

a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become

aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.

b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and

pools in low areas.

c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is

added that smells like rotten cabbage.

d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.

LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be

used. The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in accordance

with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of

Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.

LP gas tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The LP gas tank must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD). Only use LP gas cylinders equipped with a cylinder connection device

compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances. The LP gas tank must have a tank collar to protect the tank valve. Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar, or footing. Dented or rusted LP gas tanks may be hazardous and should be checked

by your LP gas supplier prior to use. The LP gas tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.

LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and

must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Your tank must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F.

Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety

relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking

propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death. Do not block holes in sides or back of grill. Never keep a filled LP gas tank in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause

the gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow

gas to escape. 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. If grill is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply tank and

disconnect. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full. A fire causing, serious injury or damage to property may occur if the

above is not followed exactly. Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas system of a

camper trailer, motor home or house. The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the

consumer’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the appliance. Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of

propane. Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks. Never use charcoal, lighter fluid, lava rocks, gasoline, kerosene or alcohol

all connections as described in the “Operating Instructions” section of

the manual, as movement in shipping can loosen connections. Check for leaks even if your unit was assembled for you by someone

else. Do not operate if gas leak is present. Gas leaks may cause a fire or

explosion. You must follow all leak-checking procedures before operating. To

prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:

a. Always perform leak test before lighting the grill and each time the

tank is connected for use.

b. No smoking. Do not use or permit sources of ignition in the area

while conducting a leak test. c. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area. d. Do not use matches, lighters, or a flame to check for leaks. e. Do not use grill until any and all leaks are corrected.

If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the LP gas supply. Call a

gas appliance serviceman or your local LP gas supplier.

1. Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.

If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner venturi pipe and orifice. Make sure the burner venturi pipe fits over the orifice.

WARNING: Failure to inspect this connection or follow these

instructions could cause a fire or an explosion which can cause death, serious bodily injury, or damage to property.

2. Please refer to diagram for proper installation. (Figures 1 and 2)

3. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice, please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

Tank/Gas Line Connection

1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.

2. Make sure control knobs are (OFF) position. (Figure 3)

3. Connect LP gas tank per “Installing LP Gas Tank” section.

4. Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN”.

5. Spoon leak check solution at all “X” locations (Figures 1, 2 and 4)

a. If any bubbles appear turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED”, reconnect and re-test. b. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED”

and disconnect LP gas tank, per “Disconnect LP Gas Tank” instructions, and contact

1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

c. If no bubbles appear after one minute turn LP gas

tank valve to “CLOSED”, wipe away solution and proceed.
