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 8 feet of walls, structures or buildings. For residential use only. This grill is NOT for commercial use. 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. 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 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 supply 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. 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. Disconnect cylinder when not in use. 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 with this

product. Your grill has been checked at all factory connections for leaks. Re-check 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

Installing LP Gas Tank

To operate you will need (1) precision-filled standard grill LP gas tank (20#) with external valve threads.

Note: An empty standard grill LP gas tank weighs approximately 18 lbs. A precision-filled standard grill LP gas tank should weigh no more than 38 lbs.

Caution: LP gas tank must be properly

disconnected and removed prior to moving this grill.

Insert LP Gas Tank

Place precision filled LP gas tank upright into notches on lower right cart frame support so the tank valve is facing the gas line connection.

Operating Instructions

Checking for Leaks

Burner Connections

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.

Before connecting, be sure that there is no debris caught in the head of the LP gas tank, head of the regulator valve or in the head of the burner and burner ports.

Connect gas line to tank by turning knob clockwise until it stops.

Disconnect LP Gas Tank

Before disconnecting make sure the LP gas tank valve is “CLOSED”.

Disconnect gas line from LP gas tank by turning knob counterclockwise until it is loose.

Caution: LP gas tank must be properly

disconnected and removed prior to moving this grill.

Need a tank of gas? Try tank exchange service. It’s easy, fast, safe,

and available at tens of thousands of conveniently located retail outlets nationwide. You can purchase a new full tank or exchange your empty for a precision filled one.

1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.

2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time by operating the grill for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odors.

Lighting

1. Open lid. Attempting to light the burners with the lid closed may cause an explosion!

2. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the burners. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner / venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.

3. All control knobs must be in the (OFF) position. (Figure 3)

4. Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN”.

5. Select burner to light. Push and turn control knob to

(HIGH).

6. Press the (electronic igniter) button and hold for up to 5 seconds to light burner.

7. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner control knob (OFF), wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure.

8. If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod provided to light burners manually. Position the lit match near side of the burner. (Figure 5)

Important: Always use the lighting rod provided when lighting burners with a match.

9. After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height matches illustration. (Figure 6)

Note: Each burner lights independently - repeat steps 5-9 for the other burner.
