filling. This tank is easily filled with a standard CGA 510 POL filling connection.
Purging and filling of L.P. gas
Purge new cylinders before
The L.P. gas cylinder has a Type 1 cylinder valve with a back-check module in its outlet that will not permit gas to flow until an evacuation device is installed. To purge the L.P. gas cylinder, the back-check module must be opened with an evacuation device.
PURGING AND EVACUATION DEVICES FOR L.P. GAS CYLINDER WITH TYPE 1 CYLINDER VALVES
A. Hose-end valve with a bleed port: Purging can be accomplished using a hose-end valve containing a bleed port, which also allows for evacuation without the use of an adapter.
B. Hose-end valve without a bleed port: When a hose-end valve does not have a bleed port, a separate device must be used for evacuation.

Connecting the Regulator to Cylinder
1. The top knob on the supply cylinder must be closed. See that the top cylinder knob is turned clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that all the grill burner knobs are turned off.
7. Make sure the hose has no kinks or sharp bends and clears any areas that will become hot during use. Never put strain on the hose where it joins a fitting. The rubber fuel supply hose must not touch the bottom grill casting during use.
8. Before lighting grill, check all connections for leaks using a mild soapy-water solution.
9. Place an aluminum 3-1/2” x 6” loaf pan into the opening in the heat shield located beneath the grill bottom. During use the pan will catch hot grease drippings that could damage the fuel supply system.
3. Remove the protective caps from the
cylinder valve and coupling nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure the nipple is centered in the valve outlet. The coupling nut connects to the large outside threads on the valve outlet. Use care not to cross thread the connection.
5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it comes to a full stop. Tighten by hand only. Do not use tools.
6. CAUTION: In the connection process, the grill side of the connection will seal on the back check in the valve, resulting in a slight resistance. The connection requires about one-half to three-quarters additional turn to complete the connection.

The valve-orifices and fuel supply hose system necessary for use with natural gas is different than the system required for L.P. gas. Modification to the burner valve/orifices allow the use of natural gas. An L.P. cylinder is not needed.
WARNING:
gas in an appliance designed for natural gas. Use only natural gas in an appliance designed for natural gas.
INSTALLATION FOR NATURAL GAS
EXPLOSIVE AND FLAMMABLE!
Do not use liquid propane (L.P.)
A quick-connect coupling sleeve with 3/8” female end is provided. Install the connector socket at the pipe end, after the shut-off valve. This must be installed where the grill will be in use.
It is important to observe the safety guidelines for choosing a safe location. The gas supply must be shut off prior to installation of the quick connector socket. Use only a matching factory authorized quick-connect plug with the quick-connect socket.
Natural-gas units are equipped with a 12­footlong quick-connect fuel hose in place of the shorter hose/regulator attached to the burner valve.
Dust Cap
The maximum inlet supply pressure is 11.0" w.c. for propane gas and 7.0" w.c. for natural gas.
The specified supply pressure is 11.0" w.c. for propane gas and 7.0" wc. for natural gas.
The piping system should be installed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1) in the U.S.A., including:
1. The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas­supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

Leak Testing
DANGER To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
· Do not smoke while performing a leak test.
· Do not permit any sources of ignition in the area when testing for leaks.
· Perform leak tests outdoors only.
· Never perform a leak test near a fire or
lame.
f
How to Check the Fuel Supply System for Gas Leaks
1. Mix a solution of equal parts mild
detergent or liquid soap and water.
2. Turn off the burner control knobs.
3. Turn the top knob of the fuel-supply
cylinder counterclockwise one rotation to open.
4. Apply the soap solution to all connections
of fuel-supply assembly.
Perform a leak test each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator. Leak test any time a part of the gas system is replaced. Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not.
Have a dealer check the cylinder for deterioration after 10 years, according to DOT regulations. Immediately replace cylinder if any is found.
IMPORTANT! Inspect the gas supply hose regularly. If there are cuts, excessive abrasion or wear, replace the hose prior to operating the appliance.
Use only the hose replacement specified in the parts list for your grill.
Z
If no soap bubbles appear, the grill is fine
for use.
If bubbles form at the connections, there is a leak. In case of a leak, try tightening the joint. If necessary, replace the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.
5. Turn off the knob on fuel-supply cylinder.
6. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release pressure in hose, then turn the control knobs back off.
7. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve. If it becomes damaged, the cylinder must be replaced.
If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from the grill. Call a gas appliance serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. Do not use appliance until the leak is fixed.

Lighting Instructions
IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM
The Igniter System consists of an igniter unit, a gas-collector box, one ceramic electrode, and lead wires. Gas is collected in the metal collector box located at the burner. When the igniter knob is turned, an electric spark is created at the ceramic electrode. The gas is then ignited by the spark.
To test: Watch the electrode tip inside the gas collector while activating the igniter. To avoid a possible shock, do not touch the burner or metal parts on igniter system while performing igniter test. A visible spark should jump from the electrode. The spark gap is set when the electrode is installed.
If there isn't a spark, check the lead wires and connections. The igniter wires should be kept away from the grill bottom. Also check that the ceramic electrode in the collector box is not broken.
Sometimes dirt and rust at and around the electrode can prevent an igniter spark. Clean them with a degreaser or warm soapy water, and dry. Remove rust from electrode tip and metal surfaces by lightly sanding with an emery cloth or fine-grain sandpaper.
CAUTION: Do not stand with head or arms
over the grill.
STEP 5. To light using the igniter: Push in and turn the right burner-control knob counter-clockwise to the high setting.
STEP 6. Immediately turn the igniter knob clockwise until you hear it click. Repeat 4 to 5 times if necessary.
The burner should light.
STEP 7. If the burner fails to light properly, turn the burner control knob off. Also turn off the L.P. cylinder knob. Wait five minutes before attempting to light the burner again. This will allow time for released gas to disperse.
HINT: If the burner does not light after trying again, turn off burner-control knob, the L.P. cylinder knob and try match lighting the grill once the gas has cleared.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
(Read all the steps before beginning.)
STEP 1. Check the burner venturi tubes for blockage from an insect nest (see, “CLEANING THE BURNER VENTURI TUBES”).
STEP 2. Ensure that both of the burner­control knobs are in the OFF position.
STEP 3.
WARNING: Attempting to light the grill with the lid down could cause an explosion.
STEP 4. Go behind the grill and turn on the fuel supply valve. One counter-clockwise turn is generally enough to open the valve.
OPEN GRILL LID
Operating the Control Knobs
Gas control knobs PRESS IN and rotate counterclockwise. TURN THE IGNITER KNOB CLOCKWISE UNTIL IT CLICKS. Do NOT turn the igniter knob counter-clockwise because it will strip the knob and become unuseable.

Lighting Instructions
MATCH LIGHTING
IMPORTANT: The match lighting hole is
found under the front right corner of the grill bottom. When match lighting the grill, use the gas control knob on your RIGHT-HAND side (closest to the match lighting hole).
Repeat steps 1 to 4 of “Igniter Lighting Instructions.”
STEP 5. To match light: push down and turn the RIGHT burner control knob counterclockwise to the high setting.
STEP 6.
IMMEDIATELY strike a long wooden match and position the burning match through match lighting hole in the grill bottom. Extend the flame near a burner port in the bottom edge of the burner. The burner should light.
To light the other side of the burner, press in and turn the opposite control knob. The flame will track around the burner. Allow grill to preheat with the grill lid closed for five to ten minutes before cooking.
CAUTION: Do not touch any hot grill parts. The outside of the grill bottom becomes very hot during use. It may be necessary to use protective gloves.
HOW TO SHUT OFF THE GRILL
STEP 1. Turn the burner-control knob(s) off. The burner flame will go out.
STEP 2. Turn off the top L.P. cylinder valve by turning the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Always have the gas shut off at the L.P. cylinder valve when the grill is not in use. The L.P. cylinder has a leak detection feature which will restrict the amount of gas flow to the burner if the tank shut-off valve has not been turned off prior to the next use.
Locating the Match Lighting Hole
The match lighting hole is located beneath the
lower right corner of the grill bottom casting.

Long detachable power-supply cords or extension cords can also be used with care. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3 wire cord. Use outdoor extension cords with a surface marked with sux letters “W-A” and with a tag stating “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.”
Keep the connection to an extension cord away from water and othe ground. Arrange the cord so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled or tripped over.
Do not clean any electrical product with a water spray or the like. Store electrical products indoors out of reach of children when not in use.
