For your family’s safety, please check the following:
READ and UNDERSTAND the owner’s manual and safety instructions.
DO NOT position or operate barbecue under overhang or unprotected construction, against a wall, near
aluminum siding, windows or fences.
CHECK that the regulator nipple is centered into the LP tank valve. Do NOT cross thread this connection.
Cross threading may result in a re, or explosion at the tank connection.
PERFORM LEAK TEST on all connections as specied in this user manual. Leak tests should be performed
on all new BBQ’s even if assembled by an assembler or gas technician. Leak tests should be performed
frequently thereafter.
BEFORE OPENING THE GAS SUPPLY, ensure the lid is open, control knobs are in “OFF” position, gas is turned
off, and the regulator is attached to the tank correctly. Then follow the PROPER LIGHTING PROCEDURE as
shown in the manual. If above steps are not followed, you may experience low ames, or other performance
issues.
INSPECT and CLEAN burner tubes to avoid ash res caused by spider webs and other blockages. Inspect
gas jets to ensure they are correctly installed in burner tubes. Never leave a lit grill unattended.
AVOID dangerous grease res by performing regular cleaning and maintenance of interior casting, the grease
collection system, ame tamers and cooking grates.
CAUTION: IN DIRECT SUN, AND IN OPERATION, YOUR BBQ’S STAINLESS STEEL AND PAINTED STEEL
PARTS CAN BECOME VERY HOT.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
LP GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

3
(LP) LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to
rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly ammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.
LP cylinder requirements:
• Use LP cylinder only with these required measurements:
• 12”(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg) capacity maximum.
• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specications for LP 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. See LP cylinder collar for marking.
LP cylinder valve must have:
• Shut-off valve with a correct cylinder valve output as specied in
current standards. ANSI Z21.58-2015 / CSA 1.6-2015 Outdoor Cooking
Gas Appliances.
• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill. The type 1 valve is easily
recognized by the large external thread on the outside of the valve.
• Safety relief valve with direct connection to the vapour space of the cylinder.
• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is
identied by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped
with this type of valve.
• A device for vapor withdrawal.
• A collar to protect the LP tank shut off valve.
• A ring on the bottom of the LP tank to secure it to the support assembly.
• 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.
DANGER
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder, empty or full, under or near
the appliance.
• Never ll a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• An over lled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible
gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense re or
explosion with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
• Do not store objects or materials inside the barbecue cart enclosure that
would block the ow of combustion air to the underside of either the control
panel or the burner box.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP
cylinder/appliance and call your re department.
