Step 24
Install Igniter battery by turning the Igniter push button cap counter-clockwise until the igniter
button detaches, then install a AA battery making sure the positive(+) end is under the push
button. Then re-attach the igniter button by turning it clockwise. Press the igniter button and make
sure all 3 igniters that are attached to the burner tubes are creating a spark.
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 damage the finish/paint/coating on the grill.

page 19
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), or the National Standard
of Canada, CAN/CSA B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable. 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 Type 1 cylinder connection device 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. For proper
vapor withdrawal, the cylinder should be used in the proper upright position (refer to illustration under step 22 of
page 17).
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 on the tank valve to regulator connection, the “Y” joint in the hose, the connection to the
manifold behind the main control panel, and the connection to the side burner valve.
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 cooking 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/venturi tube at the orifice. 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 ¼ turn 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” at the
control panel 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 ¼
turn 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.
• 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 cooking grates as shown near the burner
ports.
• Press in knob and rotate counter-clockwise to the High
setting and burner should light immediately.
• Adjust burners to desired cooking settings.
Observe Flame Height When Lit:
Flame should be a Blue / Yellow color.
To visually check that the burner is operating, look at the burner
flame through the flame viewing hole. The flame should be
approximately 1/2-3/4 inch long with the high setting.
