If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner and control valve.

If you have questions contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

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.Make sure regulator/control knob is “LOCK/OFF”. (Figure 2)

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.

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