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

camper trailer, motor home or house. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance. 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 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. 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

customer care at 1.800.762.1142, a gas appliance serviceman or your local LP gas supplier.

by the manufacturer. Use only Blue Rhino Global Sourcing, Inc. factory authorized parts. The 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 this

manual. Do not touch metal parts of grill until it has completely cooled (about 45 min.)

to avoid burns, unless you are wearing protective gear (pot holders, gloves,

BBQ mittens, etc.). Do not install or use in or on boats or recreational vehicles. Do not use grill in a vehicle trunk, station wagon, mini-van, sport utility vehicle

(SUV) or recreational vehicle (RV). When cooking fire extinguishing materials shall be readily accessible. In the

event of an oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Use type BC

dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and dripping hot

grease. Do not use grill in high winds. Never lean over grill when lighting. Do not leave a lit grill unattended. Keep children and pets away from grill at all

times. Do not attempt to move grill when in use. Allow the grill to cool (approximately

45 minutes) before moving or storing. Storage of grill indoors is permissible only if the tank is disconnected, removed

from the grill and properly stored outdoors. While wearing a protective glove or mit, open grill lid carefully and slowly as

heat and steam trapped within grill can severely burn you. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator from the tank or any gas 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

followed exactly.

3. Spoon several drops of solution, or use squirt bottle, at all “X” locations. (Figure 4 & 5)

4. Inspect the solution at the connections, looking for bubbles. a. If NO bubbles appear after one minute, the

connections are secure. Wipe away solution and proceed.

b. If bubbles appear, you have a leak.

1. Remove the LP gas tank and reconnect,

making sure the connection is secure.

2. Retest with solution.

If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, disconnect LP gas tank and contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

First Use

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.

Controlling Flare-ups

Figure 5

Figure 6

Caution: Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not possible.

• Do not use water on a grease fire. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage. If a grease fire develops, turn regulator/control knob “OFF”.

• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on “HIGH”. If grill has not been regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.

WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials shall be readily

accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

Controlling Flare-ups:

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.

Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.

If excessive flare-ups occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. If grease fire occurs, close the lid AND turn the regulator/control knob to “OFF”, until the

Match

grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
