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 combining 1 part liquid dish soap with 3 parts 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.
WARNING
ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE FOLLOWED TO
PREVENT FIRE, DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY.
CAUTION
Only use the regulator and hose assembly provided! If a replacement is necessary, please call
our customer service center. Do not use replacement parts that are not intended for this grill.

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.
