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 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, 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.
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.
WARNING
ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE FOLLOWED TO PREVENT
FIRE, DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY.

CONNECTING THE 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 appliances.
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 fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
c. If the information in (a) and (b) is not followed exactly, a fire 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 20 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.
CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER
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.
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.

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 cylinder 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 valve at tank fully by turning counter-clockwise.
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 there is gas in the cylinder and follow the match lighting
instructions on page 22.
