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. Do not use or permit sources of ignition in the area while conducting

a leak test. No smoking. 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 our

use of any part that is not factory authorized can be dangerous. This will

also void your warranty. Do not attempt to repair or alter the hose/regulator for any “assumed”

defect. Any modification to this assembly will void your warranty and

create the risk of a gas leak and fire. Use only authorized replacement

parts supplied by manufacturer. Do not use this appliance without reading “Operating Instructions” in

fitting while the grill is in use. Disconnect LP gas tank when not in use. Always use your grill on a hard, non-combustable level surface. An

asphalt or blacktop surface may not be acceptable for this purpose. Do not use directly on wooden decks. Keep all electrical cords away from a hot grill. Do not use grill for indoor cooking or heating. TOXIC fumes can

accumulate and cause asphyxiation. After a period of storage and/or nonuse check for leaks and burner

obstructions. Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burner, or not waiting 5

minutes to allow the gas to clear if the grill does not light, may result in

an explosive flame-up. Never operate grill without heat plate installed. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is cooked to a safe

temperature. Use protective gloves when assembling this product. Do not force parts together as this can result in personal injury or

damage to the product. Never cover entire cooking area with aluminum foil. Death, serious injury or damage to property may occur if the above is not

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill, and adds to the unique flavor of grilling.

Excessive flare-ups can over cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill.
