IMPORTANT NOTICE: read all instructions prior to assembly and use.
Read and understand all warnings and precautions prior to operating your grill.
CAUTION
1. This grill is for use with propane gas only (propane gas cylinder not included).
2. Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained propane system of a camper trailer, motor
home or house.
3. Never use charcoal or lighter fluid with the gas grill.
4. Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting. The LP-gas supply cylinder must be

Connecting Gas Cylinder:
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for propane gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Only
cylinders with a listed overfill prevention device (OPD) and marked “propane” may be used. Cylinders
with an OPD will have valve handles with three “lobes” (prongs). Only use 20-pound cylinders
equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
appliances. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The gas cylinder should
not be dropped or handled roughly! If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must be
disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected
and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Your cylinder must never be
stored where temperatures can reach over 125 F. Before connection, be sure that there is no debris
caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve or in the head of the burner and
burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly. Disconnect the propane cylinder from
the regulator valve when the grill is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and
ventilation air to the grill. The propane cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped
with a listed overfilling prevention device.
DANGER
Never store a spare propane cylinder near this grill. A fire causing death or serious injury may occur if
the above is not followed exactly.

Note: Before starting the grill, check for leaks. Make sure the regulator valve is securely
fastened to the burner and the cylinder.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the “leak test” as described below before lighting the grill or
each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak
test.
3. Conduct leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak,
disconnect the propane supply. Call a gas appliance serviceman or your local propane gas
supplier.
To Perform a Leak Test:
Make a 2-3 oz (0-90ml.) of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three
parts water in a spray bottle.
Note: Make sure control knobs are off.
Spray solution at the tank valve to regulator connection.
Inspect the solution at the connection looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the connection is
secure. If bubbles appear, you have a leak.
Check the regulator connection as follows:
Disconnect regulator from the tank and reconnect, making sure the connection is secure.
Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.

Lighting Your Grill
Danger: Failure to open hood while igniting the grill or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the
grill does not light, may result in an explosive flare-up which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
Before cooling on this grill for the first time, operate the grill for about 15 minutes with the lid closed and the
gas turned on “high.” This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odor from the
manufacturing processes and painted finish.
Main Burners
1. Always open the lid before lighting the grill.
Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion!
2. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can
nest within and clog the burner/venture tube at the office. A clogged burner tube can
lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
3. Make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
4. Open the valve on the LP gas cylinder.
5. Ignite only the burners you desire to use, using the same method for each: Push in
desired burner knob fully and rotate slowly about ¼turn counter-clockwise to
“HIGH”. If the burner does not light immediately, return the knob to OFF, wait
Five minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure. After the burner ignites,
repeat the same procedure with any other burner desired.
6. Adjust knob(s) to desired cooking setting.
After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure all burner ports are lit.
If burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “off” on the grill and at the gas cylinder
and open hood/lid to let the gas clear for about 5 minutes before re-lighting.
Clean your grill after each use, DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners, as it will damage the parts of
this product and may start a fire.
Side Burner
1. Open lid during lighting. Lid must be open when burner is on.
2. Burner valves must be in the “off” position.
3. Open cylinder valve.
4. Push in side burner valve knob fully and rotate slowly about ¼turn counter-clockwise
until a click is heard. If the burner does not light, immediately turn the valve knob to
OFF. Wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear and repeat the procedure.
5. After burner ignites, adjust valve knob to desired cooking setting.
Shutting Off Burners:
1. Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the HI position, then push in and turn
to OFF. Never force the knob without depressing it as this can damage the valve.
2. Promptly turn the gas supply OFF at the propane cylinder.
3. Close the lid of the grill.
Lighting Burner With a Match:
1. Place a match in the end of the match holder that is installed on the
side of Grill Housing. Once lit, immediately place the flame through
the hole as shown near the burner ports.
2. Press in knob and rotate counter-clockwise to the High setting and
burner should light immediately. If more than one burner is desired,
turn other knobs to “Hi” positions after first burner is lit.
3. Adjust burners to desired cooking settings.
Observe Flame Height When Lit:
Flame should be a Blue / Yellow color between 1-2 in. High

Cleaning and Care
Caution:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the gas supply turned off at
the propane cylinder.
DO NOT clean any grill part in a self cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning-off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from
building up.
Recommended cleaning materials:
- Mild dishwashing liquid detergent - Hot water
- Nylon cleaning pad - Wire brush
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.
Outside surfaces –
Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution to clean, then rinse with water.
If the inside surface of the grill lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked on grease buildup has
turned to carbon and is flaking off. Clean thoroughly with strong solution of detergent and hot
water.
Rinse with water and allow to completely dry.
Interior of grill bottom – Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad, then wash with
dishwashing detergent and hot water solution. Rinse with water and let thoroughly dry.
Cooking Grids – The porcelain grates have a glass-like composition that should be handled with care
not to chip. Use mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non
abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn stains, then rinse with water.
Heat Shield – Clean residue with wire brush and wash with soapy water. Then rinse with water.
Grease collector – Periodically empty the grease cup and clean with dishwashing detergent and hot
water solution.
Cleaning the burner assembly
1. Turn gas off at the control knobs and propane tank
2. Remove cooking grates and heat shield.
3. Remove grease collector.
4. Remove burner by unscrewing nut from beneath burner “foot” using a screwdriver and pliers.
5. Lift burner up and away from gas valve orifice.
6. Clean inlet (venturi) of burner with small bottle brush or compressed air.
7. Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of burner surface.
8. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip)
9. Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with new burner.
Reinstall burner; check to insure that gas valve orifices are correctly positioned inside burner
inlet (venturi). Also check position of spark electrode.
