Fig. 2
WARNING: The Type I connecve coupling (see Fig. 2) supplied with your grill must not be replaced
with a different type of grill/tank connecon system. Removal will result in loss of warranty, gas leakage, fire
and severe bodily harm.
18

Perform Leak Test
Although all gas connecons on the griddle are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas ghtness check
must be performed at the installaon site due to possible shis during shipment, installaon or excessive
pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately
check the system if the smell of gas is detected.
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Ensure all control knobs are set to the "OFF" posion.
3. Turn ON LP gas tank at valve.
4. Brush soapy soluon at all ”X” locaons (see Fig.3).
5. Check each place for growing bubbles
If “growing” bubbles appear, turn the Tank Valve off and
DO NOT use your griddle unl the leak is repaired.
A slight leak could cause a fire.
If no bubbles appear aer one minute, turn tank OFF, wash off
soapy soluon with cold water and towel dry.
DANGER WARNING
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
ÙEvery me prior to lighng the griddle,
even if purchased fully assembled.
ÙRepeat every me the LP gas cylinder is refilled
or exchanged
ÙAny me your griddle has been moved.
ÙAt least once per year or if your griddle has not
been used for more than 60 days.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
ÙAlways perform leak tests outdoors
ONLY in a well-venlated area.
ÙDO NOT smoke during leak test.
ÙDO NOT use an open flame to check
for gas leaks
ÙNever perform a leak test while the
griddle is in use or while griddle is sll
hot.
When leak tesng this appliance, make sure to test and ghten all loose connecons. A slight leak
in the system can result in a low flame or hazardous condion. Most L.P. gas tanks now come
equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape
rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow, making the griddle
difficult to light or causing low flames.

L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overfilling Prevenon Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a
cylinder aer 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potenal for release of gas when the cylinder is heated,
averng a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminang in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable,
for connecon No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connecon ANSI/CGA-V-1.
Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an
overfill protecon device and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specificaons for L.P. gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportaon (DOT) or the Naonal Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339,
“Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportaon of Dangerous Goods and Commission.”
L.P. TANK USE
When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to ensure proper
gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is
allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing
the safety device to acvate, and restricng gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will ensure
this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the OFF posion.
• Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the appliance.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the griddle. If there is excessive
abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the griddle being used again.
• 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.
If this informaon is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever
the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of
dust 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.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the
L.P. tank.
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas tank under or near the
grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
If this informaon is not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
