Fully Assembled
Caution: Use only the regulator provided!
If a replacement is necessary, please call our customer service department, 912-
638-4724. Do NOT use replacement parts that are not intended for this grill.
Hint: The paper label that is affixed to the hood is more easily removed when the
hood is warm. Any remaining glue residue can be cleaned off with a spray lubricant
like WD-40 . Do NOT use any other type of solvent or cleaner because this will dam-
age the finish/paint/coating on the grill.
