Operation Instructions
Connecting the Grill to the Natural Gas Supply:
• The quick disconnect socket (I1) and supply gas line must be installed by a qualied service agency.
The supply connection must be made in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, in the USA, of the Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, in Canada.
• A properly sized manual shut-off valve must be installed between the frill and the gas supply piping.
• The grill and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 0.5 PSI (3.5 kPa).
• The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 0.5 PSI (3.5 kPa).
• Always connect the exible gas supply hose to the gas supply before opening the manual shutoff
valve.
To Connect:
1. Ensure that the natural gas shut-off valve is closed.
2. Remove the protective rubber caps from the plug and
sleeve ends of the quick disconnect ttings. Check that the
ttings are clean.
3. Retract the sleeve on the coupling as illustrated.
4. Insert the plug and release the sleeve as illustrated.
5. Push the plug into the sleeve until the sleeve snaps forward
to lock the plug in the coupling.
6. Open the natural gas shut-off valve.
To Disconnect:
1. Close natural gas supply at shut-off valve.
2. Push the sleeve back and gently pull out the plug.
3. Replace the protective rubber caps on the plug and sleeve
ends of the quick disconnect couplings.

Operation Instructions
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
After all connections are made, check all connections and ttings on the natural gas quick connector, gas
hose and manifold 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 or griddle.
• 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 or griddle until any and all leaks are corrected.
• If you are unable to correct a leak, close the natural gas shut-off and call a gas appliance service
agency.
PERFORM LEAK TEST
• Prepare leak test solution by combining a 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 “OOFF” position.
• Connect the gas hose to the gas supply.
• Open the gas shut-off 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.
CAUTION
Only use the 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.
WARNING
ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE FOLLOWED TO PREVENT
FIRE, DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY.

Operation Instructions
Lighting The Grill and/or Griddle – Before first 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 knobs in the highest position. This will clean the internal parts by burning off any residue
and odor from the manufacturing process.
Before you use your griddle for the rst time, please read the next page for instructions on how to
properly season the griddle surface.
CAUTION
If the flame extinguishes accidentally during ignition or operation, immediately TURN OFF
the natural gas shut-off valve and then TURN OFF the control knob.
ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE FOLLOWED TO PREVENT
FIRE, DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY.
WARNING
Do not lean over grill when lighting. Read instructions before lighting.
1. Check that the control knobs are in the OOFF position.
2. Open natural gas supply at shut-off valve.
3. Open lid during lighting.
4. Depress and turn control knob counterclockwise from OOFF position, past the ignite
position, to the high position for the burner. You may need to repeat several times to ignite the
burner. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the control knobs to OOFF position, wait 5
minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
If the burner still does not light, check that the natural gas shut-off valve is open and follow the match
lighting instructions on page 21.

Operation Instructions
Properly Seasoning Your Dyna-Glo Griddle Surface
You must season the griddle regularly to help prevent food from sticking to the griddle surface and to
extend the life of your griddle by protecting it from rust.
Items Needed:
• Scraper (not needed before rst use)
• Damp Cloth
• Cooking Oil: Flax seed oil is recommended for seasoning your griddle, but vegetable oil,
canola oil, or sesame oil may also be used.
• Paper Towels
• Tongs
Note: Scrape off any remaining food residue from prior uses. This step is not necessary before rst use.
1. Wipe down your griddle with the damp cloth
2. Light the griddle burner and set it to High ( ).
3. Allow the griddle to heat for 10-15 minutes until the griddle top begins to darken or discolor.
4. When hot, apply a small amount of cooking oil.
5. Using tongs to hold a wad of paper towels, spread and wipe the oil onto all surfaces of the griddle
including the sides. Be careful not to burn yourself while wiping the surface.
6. Allow the oil to burn off for 15 minutes, or until no oil smoke is visible.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 two or three times.
Regular cooking on the griddle will keep it well-seasoned and prevent food from sticking, but if it has not
been used for several weeks, you should re-season the griddle before using.
Cooking:
After lighting, adjust burner or griddle from high ( ) to low ( ) position for desired cooking temperature.
