Read the following instructions carefully and be sure your barbecue is properly assembled, installed
and maintained. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious bodily injury and/or property
damage. If you have any questions concerning assembly or operation, consult your dealer or LP gas
company.
• When used, always place the appliance and gas bottle on flat level ground. Grill can be used with
20lb gas cylinder. Grill will perform better if propane or LPG mixtures are used. Butane can be used,
but because of the rate of the appliance the cylinder will tend to freeze and supply gas at reduced
pressures, affecting grill performance.
• DO NOT move the appliance during use.
• DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas fittings while barbecue is in use.
• DO NOT use gas bottle if the bottle and/or valve are damaged, rusty, or dented as this may be
hazardous. Contact your supplier to have it checked.
• DO NOT lean over an open grill and be mindful of hands/fingers near the edge of the cooking area.
• Should a fire occur, turn off all gas burners, close the lid, and stand back from grill until fire is out.
• Should flames go out while in operation, turn off all gas valves and leave lid open.
• Return to grill after five minutes and try to relight the burners – following lighting instructions. Keep
children and pets away from grill when in use. Some parts of the grill will become very hot.
• When cleaning the valves and burners, be careful not to stretch the valve orifices or burner ports.
• Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and dripping hot grease.
• Gas may still be present in a cylinder that appears to be empty. Adhere to proper transportation/
storage of the cylinder at all times.
• If gas is leaking from cylinder, move away from cylinder immediately and call your gas supplier or
fire department. DO NOT try to address problem yourself.
• DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
• DO check for gas leaks and any obstructions to burners before use. This is especially important
after a period of storage or non-use.
• The flexible tube should be changed whenever it is damaged or cracked or by expiration date
printed on the tubing. Or, change tube every five (5) years.
• Always connect or replace cylinder in a well-ventilated area, and never in the presence of a flame,
spark or heat source.
• Grill must be kept away from flammable materials.
• Turn off gas supply at gas container after use.
• Do not alter this grill in any manner.
• Do not touch metal parts of grill until it has completely cooled (about 45 minutes) to avoid burns,
unless you are wearing protective gear (BBQ mittens, pot holders, etc.).

A-3
• Note that parts sealed by manufacturer or its agent must not be altered.
• When assembling the grill, position the connection flexible tube so that it is protected against
twisting.
• Stay away from any source of ignition when changing gas container.
• When assembling the grill, do not obstruct ventilation openings of grill’s container compartment. We
reserve the right to make minor technical adjustments to the device.
• When cooking with oil/grease, do not allow the oil/grease to exceed 350°F (177°C). Do not store or
use extra cooking oil in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. Not following the above information exactly may result in a
fire causing death or serious injury.
• Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
CAUTION
• This grill is for use with propane gas only (propane gas cylinder not included).
• Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained propane system of a camper trailer, motor
home or house.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting. The LP gas supply cylinder must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for propane gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) CFR 49.
• The gas supply cylinder must be provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
• The gas supply cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the
connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
• This grill is not intended for use on recreation vehicles and/or boats.
• Do not use grill unless it is completely assembled and all parts are securely fastened and tightened.
• Keep all combustible items and surfaces at least 36 inches (91.4cm) away from grill at all times.
• DO NOT use this grill or any gas product near unprotected combustible constructions.
• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere. Keep grill area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Never keep a filled container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause gas pressure to increase,
which may open relief valve and allow gas to escape.
• Keep grill’s valve compartment, burners and circulating air passages clean. Inspect grill before each
use.
WARNING
• This grill is for outside use only, and should not be used in a building, garage, or any other enclosed
area.

A-4

burner valves, then disconnect regulator from valve on propane tank by turning plastic connector
counter clockwise. Unscrew wing-bolt in bottom shelf to release the tank for removal.

• Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane gas
supplier.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or alcohol to light charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products
could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
