As with all appliances, there are certain rules to follow for
safe operation. Verify everyone who operates the grill is
familiar with the operations and with these precautions.
Use appliance only for its intended purpose as described.
Pay close attention to the safety sections of this manual.
Recognize the safety section by looking for the symbol
or the word safety.
Recognize this symbol as a safety precaution.
!
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Extinguish any open flame.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
Installation and service must be performed by an
authorized installer, service agency or gas supplier.
To avoid risk of electrical shock, property damage,
personal injury or death; verify wiring is correct, if
components were replaced. Verify proper and
complete operation of unit after servicing.
This gas appliance contains or produces a chemical or
chemicals which are known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from
fuel combustion make sure this appliance is installed,
operated, and maintained according to the instructions
in this manual.
Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur as a
result of overcooking or excessive grease. Although a
fire is unlikely, if one occurs proceed as follows:
Surface Fires
1. Turn all controls to the OFF position.
2. As an added precaution turn off the gas at the
main supply valve.
3. Cover the food or grease to burn itself out.
If smoke or fire persist call the local fire department.
NOTE: The maximum gas supply pressure for these
models must not exceed 14 inches W.C.P.
Safety Practices for Servicer
Safe and satisfactory operation of gas grills, depend upon
its design and proper installation. However, there is one
more area of safety to be considered:
Servicing
Listed below are some general precautions and safety
practices which should be followed in order to protect the
service technician and consumer during service and after
service has been completed.
1. Gas smell—Extinguish any and all open flames.
2. Turn gas off—Service grill with gas turned off unless
testing requires it.
3. Checking for gas leaks—Never check for leaks
with any kind of open flame. Soap and water solution
should be used for this purpose. Apply solution to
suspected area and watch for air bubbles which
indicates a leak. Correct leaks by tightening fittings,
screws, connections, applying approved compound or
installing new parts.
4. Using lights—Use a hand flashlight when servicing
grills or checking for gas leaks. Electric switches
should not be operated where leaks are suspected.
This will avoid creating arcing or sparks which could
ignite the gas. If electric lights are already turned on,
they should not be turned off.
5. Do not smoke—Never smoke while servicing gas
grills, especially when working on piping that contains
or has contained gas.
Safety Information

6. Check grill when service is completed—After
servicing, make visual checks on electrical
connection, and check for gas leaks. Inform
consumer of the condition of grill before leaving.
7. Adhere to all local regulations and codes when
performing service.
ALL APPLIANCES
1. Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2. Never Use Appliance for Warming or Heating the
Room.
3. Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be
alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Proper Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using appliance.
5. User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
6. Storage in or onAppliance—Flammable materials
should not be stored on or around grill.
7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother fire or
flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Pot-holders—Moist or damp Pot-
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot-holder touch burners. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Precautions
• Do not cook food directly on cooktop surface, always
use cookware on side burner(s).
• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even
hazardous results.
• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.
They may melt and stick.
• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat
can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.
• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage
to cooking surface and pan.
• Do not use grill for storage or as a display counter.
Gas Supply Pressure
CAUTION
!
To avoid property damage, maximum gas supply
pressure must not exceed 14" WCP.
• Appliance and 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 ½ psig (3.5kPa)(14" WCP).
• Appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping
system by closing manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa)
(14" WCP).
• Gas supply pressure for checking regulator setting
must be at least 1" WCP above manifold pressure
shown on rating label.
• Must use pressure regulator supplied with grill.
Pressure Regulator Connection
Regulator may have 2 inlets. Remove plug from bottom
inlet of pressure regulator to create 90° connection.
Remove plug from side inlet of pressure regulator to
create a straight connection. Locate pressure regulator
according to gas supply location.
• Support regulator when installing gas supply.
• Do not overtighten fitting or hard pipe when attaching to
gas regulator. Overtightening may crack regulator.
Regulator
Gas Supply Location
Locate gas supply so manual shut-off valve is accessible
after installation. Gas supply can be installed in adjacent
cabinet or behind access panel. Avoid interference with
electrical connection.
Safety Information

Gas Connection
Connect gas supply to regulator using hard pipe or a
flexible connector. Pressure regulator supplied with this
appliance has a ½-inch NPT female connection.
• A manual shut-off, not supplied with grill, must be
installed in an accessible location outside of grill.
• Use joint compound that is resistant to action of
propane gas on all male pipe threads.
• Use supplied pressure regulator only.
• Do not overtighten gas fitting when attaching to
pressure regulator. Overtightening may crack regulator.
• Support pressure regulator with wrench when installing
gas fitting.

Testing for Gas Leaks
WARNING
!
To avoid property damage or serious personal injury,
never use a lighted match to test for gas leaks.
After final gas connection is made, test all connections in
gas supply piping and grill for gas leaks.
1. Place soap suds on connection.
• Bubbles appear if leak is present.
2. Tighten joint if leak is at factory fitting.
• If leak is not at factory fitting, unscrew, apply more
joint compound, and tighten to correct leak.
3. Retest connection for leak after tightening.
• Retest any connections that were disturbed.

Unpacking Grill
• Uncrate grill from packaging material.
• Remove all packing and printed material packed with
grill.
• Remove burner grates, burner caps, grill, vent cover,
and pressure regulator from packing material.
Functional Operation
Burners
Spark ignitors are used on each burner. The ignitor is
located at each gas inlet to provide a grounding surface
for ignition.
Spark System
The spark ignition system consists of a solid state
module and spark ignitors.
Turning a ignitor knob or pressing the spark ignition
button sends approximately 2 sparks per second to the
spark ignitors. This causes a demand for spark from the
spark module containing an electronic circuit which
produces 12 VDC voltage pulses.

Troubleshooting Procedures
!
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to oven before servicing, unless
testing requires it.
