OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
After all connections are made, check all connections and ttings on the LP gas tank valve, gas hose
and regulator for leaks with a water and soap solution.
To prevent re or explosion while testing for a leak:
• Always perform leak test prior to lighting the grill.
• Do not smoke while testing for a leak.
• Always perform leak tests outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use any source of ame while testing for leaks.
• Do not use the grill until any and all leaks are corrected.
• If you are unable to correct a leak, disconnect the propane supply and call a gas appliance service
dealer.
PERFORM LEAK TEST
• Prepare leak test solution by 50/50 ratio of liquid dish soap and water.
Total solution required is approximately 2 - 3 ounces (70 - 90 ml).
Put leak test solution in a spray bottle.
• Ensure all control knobs are in the O OFF position.
• Connect the gas hose to the gas supply.
• Open the LP gas tank valve.
• Spray leak test solution on all gas carrying connections and ttings. Presence of bubbles at areas
of applied test solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off the
gas supply valve immediately and repair or replace the defective part. Do not use the grill until
all leaks are corrected.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING GAS CYLINDER
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and provided with a listed overlling prevention device.
Use only 20-pound cylinders (height: 18.11 inches, tank diameter: 9.84 inches, foot diameter: 8.03 inches)
equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appli-
ances.
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.
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.
Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the outlet of the gas cylinder, outlet of the
regulator valve or in the outlet of the burner and burner ports. Connect regulator valve and
hand-tighten rmly. Keep the propane cylinder valve closed and disconnect the propane cylinder from
the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
DO NOT obstruct the ow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill. The propane cylinder must
be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed overlling prevention device. Please use
the proper cylinder orientation to provide vapor withdrawal. NOTE: The cylinder must be fully upright
for the cylinder to have vapor withdrawal only.
CAUTION
a. Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
b. Never ll the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
c. If the information in (a) and (b) is not followed exactly, a re causing death or serious
injury may occur.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Other cylinders may be acceptable for use with this appliance provided they are compatible
with the appliance nesting hole and retention means. Refer to Step 15 of the Assembly Instructions
for correct cylinder to cylinder holder connection.
WARNING
ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE FOLLOWED TO
PREVENT FIRE, DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY.
WARNING
In the connection process, make sure:
• the regulator inlet connector mates with the cylinder valve outlet properly, safely and rmly, and;
• the LP gas hose does not come in contact or remain in contact with the rebox.
CONNECTING THE LP TANK
1. The knob on the LP tank must be closed. Make sure that the knob is turned clockwise to a
full stop. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
2. Check that the control knob on the control unit is turned off.
3. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve and coupling nut.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the nipple into the valve
outlet. Be sure the nipple is centered in the valve outlet. The coupling
nut connects to the large outside threads on the valve outlet. Use
care – do not cross thread the connection.
5. Hand-tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it comes to a full
stop. Firmly tighten by hand only. Do not use tools.
To Disconnect: Fully close the tank valve by turning clockwise.
Turn the coupling nut counterclockwise until the regulator assembly detaches.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting The Grill
Before rst use:
Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present. Before you cook on your new gas grill, it is important
to clean your grill with heat. To do this, operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed
and the control knob in the highest position. This will clean the internal parts by burning off any residue
and odor from the manufacturing process.
WARNING
Do not lean over grill when lighting. Read instructions before lighting.
CAUTION
If the ame extinguishes accidentally during ignition or operation, immediately TURN OFF the
cylinder valve and then TURN OFF the control knob.
1. Check that the control knobs are in the OOFF position.
2. Open valve at tank fully by turning counterclockwise.
3. Open lid during lighting.
4. Depress and turn control knob counterclockwise from off position, past the ignite position, to the
high position. You may need to repeat several times to ignite the burner.
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the control(s) off, Owait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure.
If the burner still does not light, check that there is gas in the cylinder and follow the match lighting
instructions. Check the Troubleshooting Guide on page 23 for more information.
LIGHTING THE GRILL WITH A MATCH
1. Open the lid.
2. Insert a match in the end of the match holder that is installed on the left leg assembly.
3. Light the match.
4. Immediately place the lit match through the spaces in the grill gates near the ports of the burner
between the heat tents as shown. Make sure the lit match is close to the burner ports.
5. Press in the control knob that operates the burner and rotate counter-clockwise to High
position and burner should light immediately.
6. Repeat 2~5 steps to lighting the remaining burners.
7. Adjust burners to desired cooking settings.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn control knobs clockwise to the OOFF position.
2. Close valve at tank fully by turning clockwise.
3. Close lid.
Turn off LP supply at cylinder when appliance is not in use.
CAUTION

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cooking Grates
The best time to ‘burn-off’ the cooking grates is after every use (approx. 15 minutes). The grill is
already hot from cooking thus requiring less fuel to obtain necessary temperature for ‘burn-off’.
To ‘burn off’ or heat clean your grill, turn the burners to highest position and run for 15 minutes
with the lid closed. Then turn off the burners and use a wire brush to clean excess food residue
from the grates.
The porcelain grates have an enamel nish (similar to glass) and should be handled with care
not to chip.
CAUTION
Ensure the grill is cool before cleaning and conducting maintenance and with the gas supply
turned off at the LP-Gas Cylinder.
Recommended Cleaning Supplies
Mild liquid dish soap, warm water, nylon cleaning pad, wire brush
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or any abrasive substance.
Outside Surfaces
It is recommended to use only mild dish soap and hot water to clean grill and grill parts.
Rinse with warm water.
Inside Bottom Pan of Grill Body
To avoid are-ups, the bottom pan of the cooking box should be kept clean on a regular basis.
Remove residue using a brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with mild dish soap and warm
water. Rinse with warm water. Avoid water splashing into venturi tubes of burners.
Heat Tents
Clean residue with wire brush and wash with mild dish soap and
warm water. Rinse with warm water.
Grease Cup
Empty the grease cup and clean with mild dish soap and
warm water on a regular basis.
Checking The Flame
For maximum fuel efciency and cooking performance, ame
should be a blue-yellow color and be between 1- 2 inches high.
To check the ame, view the ame through the holes in both
sides of the rebox.
