SAFETY INFORMATION
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VISION GRILLS KAMADO GRILL. PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
ATTENTION! Use caution when cooking as grill surfaces get hot. To avoid burns, always use protective gloves to adjust top and bottom vents when grill is in use. Do not
wear loose clothing near the grill.
ATTENTION! This barbecue will become very hot; do not move it during operation. For outdoor cooking use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed space. Use
grill only in well ventilated area around the grill, free from combustible materials. Allow for at least 3 feet/1 meter of clearance around grill (house, other outdoor products,
hanging tree limbs, shrubs, etc.).
WARNING! Keep children and pets away from the grill at all times. Do not allow children to operate grill. Never leave grill unattended when in use.
Grill needs to be placed securely on a level base prior to use. Only operate grill on a hard, stable level surface (concrete patio, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the
grill’s weight when loaded with food. Never operate grill on wood support surface, wood deck or similar combustible support surfaces under any conditions. Never attempt
to move grill when it is in operation or cooling down. Never operate this grill within 25 feet/7.5 meters of any ammable liquid. Never operate this grill within 10 feet/3
meters of a gas cylinder. The grill should not be placed under combustible structures, such as garage, porch, patio, or carport. Burning charcoal or propane gives off carbon
monoxide, which has no odor and can cause death.
The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the operator’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the grill. Do not use on boats or
recreational vehicles.
CAUTION: Never use lighter uid, gasoline, or other volatiles to start your charcoal, as they are dangerous and leave a residual taste in your food. Use only relighters
complying to EN 1860-3. Use utmost care when adding charcoal to grill. Electric start-up is recommended. Dispose of cooled ashes by placing them in aluminum foil,
soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible container.
When operating with gas, top vent MUST be open at all times, see instructions.

Always wait for grill to completely cool before opening built-in ash drawer.
When charcoal cooking above 500º F/260º C, with both top and bottom vents closed, rapidly opening the lid creates a sudden rush of oxygen into the grill,
which can cause a flare-up of flames. When in this cooking mode, we recommend that, prior to opening the lid, you open both top and bottom vents to allow
oxygen to stabilize inside the grill, minimizing the possibility of flare-ups.
SET UP
Step 1: Install Gas Caddy to Grill Cart
• Place the Gas Tank Caddy between
the rear legs of the grill cart (Step 1a).
• Fasten mounting brackets to cart
by removing nut and bolt from each
bracket, separating the top bracket
piece from Gas Tank Caddy frame.
STEP 1b
• Slide Gas Tank Caddy under Cart, so top
bracket piece rests on cart frame and is
lined up with bolt hole on bottom of Gas
Tank Caddy.
• Reinsert bolt into frame and tighten
together with nut (Step 1b).
• Use the provided wrench to tighten all
connections.
Step 2: Attach Hose Brackets
STEP 2
• Attach the two hose brackets (used to hold
gas hose), with eyelets facing in, onto the
front and rear legs of cart (Step 2).
• Put the gas tank on the Gas Tank Caddy
and tighten into place using Gas Tank Caddy
knob (Step 3a).
Note: Do NOT allow the hose to touch the ceramic.
STEP 1a
Step 3: Install Gas Tank
• From rear of the grill, feed gas hose through
eyelets of the hose brackets, grill connector first.
Connect gas hose to the Gas Insert using the
Quick Disconnect fitting.
• Make sure the cylinder valve is closed (turn valve
clockwise until tight).
• Inspect valve connections, port, hose and
regulator assembly for any damage or debris.
Remove any debris.
• When connecting regulator
assembly to the valve, hand
tighten the quick coupling nut
clockwise to a complete stop
(Step 3b).
• After the gas hose is connected to
the gas tank and Gas Insert, open
valve on gas tanks and perform
some type of leak test* method to
STEP 3b
test the connection.
Step 4: Install Battery
• Remove Ignition Button Cap by turning
counter clockwise. Insert AA battery (not
included) negative end first.
• Replace Ignition Button Cap by tightening
clockwise.
