Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at
1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC [phone],
10:00 am-4:00 pm EST.
How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very
fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat
thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal
temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of
doneness.
• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in
your appliance.
• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear
and flesh should not be pink.
• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be
cooked to 145° F.
• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food
temperatures.
DANGER
USE AND CARE
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the
appliance or in an enclosed area.
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard
due to possible gas release from the safety relief valve.
This could cause an intense fire with risk of property
damage, serious injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get
away from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire
department.
• Keep LP tank at a minimum distance of 24” (inches)
away from appliance at all times.
LP Cylinder Removal, Transport and Storage
• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Turn
coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools
to disconnect. Loosen cylinder screw beneath bottom shelf or
disconnect other retention means, then lift LP cylinder up and
and out of cart. Install safety cap onto LP cylinder valve.
Always use cap and strap supplied with valve. Failure to use
safety cap as directed may result in serious personal
injury and/or property damage.
• A disconnected LP cylinder in storage or being transported
must have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an
LP cylinder in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage,
porch, covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP
cylinder inside a vehicle which may become overheated by
the sun.
• Do not store an LP cylinder in an area where children play.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced.
For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to
rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly
when mixed with air.
LP Cylinder
• The LP cylinder used with your unit must meet the
following requirements:
• Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12"
(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.)
capacity maximum.
• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance
with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous
goods, Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for
marking.
•LP cylinder valve must have:
•Type 1 outlet compatible with
regulator or unit.
•Safety relief valve.
•UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This
OPD safety feature is identified by a unique
triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders
equipped with this type of valve.
OPD Hand
Wheel
•LP cylinder must be for vapor withdrawal and include upright
collar to protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP cylinders in
upright position during use, transit or storage.

LP Cylinder Filling
•Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
•LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.
•Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP
cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by
temperature.
•A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close
LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
•Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere.
This is a hazardous practice.
•To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP
dealers.
WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP
cylinder. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!
LP Cylinder Exchange
LP Cylinder Leak Test
For your safety
•Many retailers that sell units offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only
those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill,
test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only
for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described
in the "LP Cylinder" section of this manual.
•Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
•Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE
connecting to unit.
•Place safety cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder
is not in use. Only install the type of safety 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.
•Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is
exchanged or refilled.
•Do not smoke during leak test.
•Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
•Unit must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep unit away from open flames
or sparks.
•Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water
solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in
figure below.
• Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train
components can result.
