USE AND CARE
WARNING: Many areas of an outdoor gas grill generate extreme heat. We have taken
every precaution to protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to
isolate all high-temperature areas. Therefore, use good judgment and caution when
grilling on this product. We suggest a covered, protected hand during operation of grill. Do
not move your grill when it is in operation or hot to the touch. Wait until your unit is turned
off and properly cooled down before moving it. Failure to follow this warning
could result in personal injury.
Do not operate the gas grill indoors or in any enclosed area. If the gas grill is not in use, the gas must
be turned off at the supply tank. If the grill is to be stored indoors, disconnect the gas supply hose.
When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open flame. Use a soapy water solution and
apply it to the pipe joints and fittings with a brush and check for bubbles. Check flexible hoses
for cuts and wear that may affect the safe operation of the grill. Only use original equipment
replacement hoses. Use only replacement hose assemblies specified by manufacturer.
Checking Gas Leaks
Before operating your grill, after refueling, check carefully to be certain that all connections are
tight and there are no gas leaks.
1. Make 2-3 ounces of leak solution by mixing liquid dishwashing soap with water.
2. Make certain all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Brush small amounts of the leak solution on all the fittings and turn the gas on.
4. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Proceed to step 5.
5. Turn the gas off and tighten all connections.
6. Go back to step 1 to retest the fittings.
7. If bubbles continue to appear, turn the gas off. Contact customer service.
WARNING: Never use a match or open flame for leak detection. Use of an open flame
could result in a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing any gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be
sealed with approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber's tape.
Never store a spare tank under or near your grill.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be
sealed with approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber's tape. After making
connections, check all joints for leaks using a soapy water solution and a brush.

result in a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
