D-2 – CONNECTING GAS SUPPLY:
Always connect or disconnect the gas supply outdoors in a well-ventilated area and never near an open flame, heat
source or spark.
All models (FIG. 1a) have an integral regulated control valve and are intended to be used with a standard “Coleman
style” throwaway propane bottle or a propane connection hose that connects to larger LP gas cylinders. Hoses must
be compliant to Australian standards.
This appliance shall only be used with disposable Coleman propane 1lb cartridges certified to DOT-39
NRC 232/290 M1110.
IT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO ATTEMPT TO FIT OTHER TYPES OF GAS CONTAINERS’
Standard “Coleman” style throwaway cylinders are valve
operated; they can be detached from the appliance for easy
storage or transportation (even when not empty).
IMPORTANT: Always check the bottle and seals before use.
Never use a bottle if damaged or any seals are missing from
the bottle or the appliance’s regulator. Discard bottles if
dust, dirt or rust particles are in the outlet valve area.
IMPORTANT: Review instruction and warnings on the
propane bottle as indicated by arrow in FIG. 1.
Remove cap from end of propane bottle. Cap should always
be kept on bottle when not in use to prevent dirt and debris
from entering regulator valve.
• Verify regulated control valve is in the “OFF” position,
turn to “OFF” if needed.
• Insert threaded end of the gas bottle into regulated
control valve and hand tighten. Do not use tools! Over-
tightening can damage threads on regulator.
• Perform a leak test, refer to “SECTION H – LEAK TESTING”
• When the existing canister is empty, refer to section “H – REMOVING GAS CANISTER”.
D-3 – Checking gas levels in gas bottles
1. Do NOT use boiling water, as you would risk scalding yourself. Filling a bucket or large jug with hot tap
water from your home should work fine.
2. Using care, SLOWLY pour the hot water down one side only of the gas bottle. QUICK TIP: More water is
better, as it will make it easier to feel the gas bottle level indicator difference in temperature to check gas
bottle level. I actually fill a cleaning bucket with hot tap water when I check gas bottle level.
3. A line of condensation may appear as your gas bottle level indicator to check gas bottle level. If not:
4. Wait a few seconds and then run your hand down the same side of the gas bottle, where you poured the
water to tell how much gas in gas bottle.
5. You should feel a change of temperature to tell how much gas is in gas bottle.
If you feel no difference, the gas bottle level may well be empty.
Be careful not to scald yourself with the hot water when you check gas bottle level!

E – LIGHTING THE BURNER:
Read all instructions before attempting to light your grill and never use the grill until the instructions have
been read carefully and understood. Also, make sure that:
•The control valve and or regulator is in the “OFF” position
•The gas supply is connected
•There are no leaks
•The venturi is not blocked
•It is securely mounted to one of the available Kuuma grill mounting options.
WARNING:
•LID MUST BE OPEN WHEN LIGHTING APPLIANCE BURNER. Failure to open the appliances lid during
the lighting procedure could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death
or property damage.
•Do not lean over the grill when lighting. Always keep your face and body at least 18in (46cm) away
from the grill while lighting and in use.
•Do not obstruct flow of ventilation air. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3in (8cm) from the back of
the grill and noncombustible construction such as a concrete or brick wall.
E-1 MANUAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Verify gas supply is connected and control valve/regulator is in the “OFF” position.
2. Open the lid of the appliance.
3. Insert a lit match or utility lighter through the access hole; keep the flame adjacent to the burner,
refer to FIG. 2 below.
4. Depress the control knob and rotate to the “HIGH” position.
5. Remove match or utility lighter from access hole and visually confirm ignition has occurred.
6. Turn control knob to desired setting and grill is ready for use.
IMPORTANT: If burner fails to light after three attempts, turn
the control knob to the “OFF” position and check that the
burner outlet ports and the venturi tube are not blocked, refer
to FIG. 3.
It is possible that small insects and spiders could find their way
into the venturi tube and make nests or webs that could reduce or restrict the flow of gas. This typically
FIG. 2
FIG. 3

`
Page 7
causes a smoky, yellowish flame or prevents the burner from lighting. It could even cause gas to burn inside
the burner tube, which could seriously damage the grill.
If a flame-out occurs, turn control knob to the “OFF” position and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
F – TURNING OFF THE APPLIANCE:
1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
2. After flame has self-extinguished, remove the gas supply cylinder and allow unit to cool to 46oC (115oF)
before moving or storing.
IMPORTANT:
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored inside a building or
any other type of enclosed area.
Do not store appliance inside a building with a propane cylinder attached.
G – OPERATION:
•It’s recommended that protective gloves be worn to handle components which may be hot during
operation.
•Before start-up, verify legs are fully open and in place and grill is on a sturdy, level non-combustible
surface or securely mounted to one of the available Kuuma grill mounting options.
•When pre-heating or post-heating the appliance, never allow the grill to go above 260-290oC (500-550oF)
or there will be discoloration.
•If cooking at high temperatures, open lid frequently or cook with lid open as much as possible to avoid
discoloring the lid and reducing the anti-corrosion properties of the stainless steel.
•Any time fatty foods are being cooked over an open flame, flare-ups can occur. To help control flare-
ups, we suggest using leaner cuts of meat or trimming excess fat from the meats being cooked.
•Excess build-up of burned marinades absorbs grease and cause flare-ups. Always clean before use.
•Only use this appliance outdoors!
•Do not attempt to light the appliance if the odor of gas is present.
H – REMOVING GAS CYLINDER:
The gas cylinder may be removed even if it is not empty. Only replace, remove or install gas cylinders
outside and away from people and ignition sources.
•Verify control knob or valve is in the “OFF”
position.
•Firmly hold the regulator in one hand while
grasping the cylinder in the other hand and
then remove the cylinder by turning in the
clockwise direction until it is free and then
pull down, refer to FIG. 7.
Never discard a gas cylinder that is not
completely empty.

I – LEAK TESTING:
•During Leak testing, keep grill away from open flames or sparks and do not smoke.
•Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Leak test must be repeated each time
propane cylinder is replaced or after it is removed for storage.
•Never attempt to light a grill if odor of gas is present.
1. Verify control valve is in the “OFF” position and gas supply is connected.
2. Brush a soapy solution onto connection between cylinder and regulator.
3. Look for growing bubble to appear. If bubbles appear, re-tighten propane cylinder and repeat steps 1 &
2 until no leaks are found.
4. If no leaks are found proceed to lighting the grill.
If you can’t stop a leak, remove cylinder from the regulator and check for damaged threads, dirt and debris
on the regulator or the cylinder fitting. If threads are damaged on any item, DO NOT USE the item until it is
replaced. Also check to see if anything is obstructing the flow of gas at the regulator or cylinder connection.
Remove any obstruction that may be found and repeat leak test steps.
See “SECTION L – ACCESSORIES” for replacement parts.
J – CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
Never modify the grill, any modification may be dangerous and could cause injury or property damage.
To keep your new grill looking and operating properly, we recommend that the grill is thoroughly cleaned after
each use. By nature, stainless steel is rust resistant; however, the buildup of grease and food in and on the grill can
and will deteriorate the grill over time if not removed. A protective layer of “chromium-oxide” on the outer
surface is the reason stainless steels do not rust. Oxygen coming in contact with the Chromium in the metal
creates this protective layer. If food, grease, or moisture covers the outer surface, oxygen can’t react with the
Chromium and create the protective chromium-oxide layer and surface rusting will occur. To minimize this effect:
•Immediately after grilling, use a stainless steel or brass wire brush and rub the cooking grate clean.
•After grill has cooled:
oRemove cooking grate and rub back side with wire brush
oUsing the wire brush, rub and clean all build-up from “Heat Plate” or Lift and Clean Liner.
oEmpty any, and all grease from grease tray
oRemove any food particles or build up on or in the grill
oUse soap and water to thoroughly clean cooking area and adjacent surfaces and the cooking
grate. If needed to remove stubborn burnt-on buildups inside the grill or on the cooking grate,
use a commercial “oven” cleaner. If an oven cleaner is used, be sure to thoroughly clean with
soap and water afterwards.
oRinse with fresh water and then dry.
