SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. WARNING!Read and follow all instructions. This grill comes fully

3. WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from
breathing toxic fumes and from explosion and fire as a result of
leaking gas, use only outdoors in an open area with good ventilation.
As with all conventional fuels, the burning process consumes
oxygen and produces toxic gases, including carbon monoxide. In addition, the
combustion products of such fuels, including liquefied petroleum (LP), contain
chemicals known to the state of California and other authorities to cause cancer,
birth defects and other reproductive harm.
4. Place your Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas grill on a firm, level surface. Grill
should be setup away from high traffic areas and combustible materials.

building. Do not use the grill in a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, or in any
enclosed area or high traffic area. Do not locate this appliance under or near
combustible structures, materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids or
vapors. The grill must be on a level, stable surface. Asphalt surface (blacktop)
may not be acceptable for this purpose.
6. When cooking, have a type BC or ABC fire extinguisher readily available.
In the event of an oil or grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water.
Immediately call the fire department. A type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may,
in some circumstances, contain the fire.
7. WARNING! If your grill catches on fire:
• If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the
Regulator Knob, then turn it “OFF” by turning knob clockwise.

PREPARATION AND GRILL SET-UP
Before First Use
1. Remove grill from carton and discard all the packaging. Make sure there are no loose
parts.
Note: Before using your grill, read the instructions and your manual.
2. Remove and save literature.
3. Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
Follow instructions for each step in the order they are listed as you look at the diagrams.
This will allow for easier assembly.
If you have any questions or require assistance, contact Consumer Support at the
toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual. Be sure to have your model number
available; it is printed on the cover of this manual and viewable through the opening on
the underside of the grill.
STEP 1. Place the grill on a flat table top or level surface where you will be using it. Make
sure the rotating front handle is locked in the vertical position.
STEP 2. Grasp the spring loaded level adjusters on the right and left sides of the grill. Pull
out and rotate away from you and toward the back of the grill. This will unlock the lid.
Continue rotating until you feel the adjusters lock into place.
STEP 3. Open the lid. Swing the right and left side flaps out and insert the hooks into the
small slots in the front corners of the grill.

STEP 4. Lift reversible plate and remove any loose parts stored inside. Lay regulator
assembly aside for a future step. Always ensure the pegs on the underside of the grill plate
are inserted into the locating holes in the front corners of the grill (FIG 7a-b). The lip on the
grill plate will be positioned to drain into the drip tray. To change the grilling surface flip the
plate over and reorient the plate so the pegs insert into the locating holes. Hang the drip tray
on the wide notch in the front of the grill just under the lip of the grill plate (FIG 7c).
Note: The ribbed side is a grill and the smooth side is a griddle.
STEP 5. To adjust the slope of the grilling surface, grasp the spring loaded level adjusters
on the right and left sides of the grill (FIG 8). Rotate the adjusters until they lock into place
(FIG 9). Adjust the slope based on the type of food being grilled. The sloped position is for
grilling meats so the fat drains into the drip tray. The flat position is for vegetables or to
use the griddle surface.
ATTACHING REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND LP GAS CYLINDER
STEP 6
A. Turn the regulator knob to the “LOCK/OFF” position. (FIG 10)
B Remove the protective cap from the LP cylinder gas nozzle.
C. Hold LP cylinder upright. Do not turn it upside down when connecting to the
regulator assembly. (FIG 11)
D. Push the LP cylinder nozzle into regulator nipple and turn counterclockwise.
Make sure the connection does not cross thread.
E. Hand tighten until a snug fit is obtained. Do not use tools.
F. Perform a leak test. (See LEAK TEST INSTRUCTIONS, but first go to next page.)
G. Insert nozzle end of the regulator/cylinder assembly to the burner Venturi tube.
