LP (Propane) Gas Supply Connection
1. Always place the propane cylinder on the tank brackets located on the right side of the cart.
2. Always confirm that all burner control knobs are in the OFF position before activating the gas supply.
3. Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve, or in
the head of the burner and burner ports.
4. Always connect the gas supply regulators as follows:
Insert the nipple of the valve coupling into the tank valve and tighten the connection
collar by turning it clockwise with one hand while holding the regulator with the other
hand.
(See diagram to right)
5. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
6. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill.
7. Keep ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
8. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install
the type of dust cap on cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the “leak test” on page 16 before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

GSF2616JC
Owner’s Manual
16
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been sopped, if you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for gas
appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
Checking
for Leaks
1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection.
(See diagram to right).
4. Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear,
the connection is secure. .
5.

6. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect. Make sure the connection is
secure.
7. Retest with solution.
8. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
Lighting Your Grill
Danger: Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners or not waiting 5 minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not
light, may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING : Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible
bodily injury.
Main Burner
1. Open lid while lighting burners.
WARNING : Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make sure there are no obstructions of
airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the
orifice. A clogged burner tube can
lead to
a fire beneath the appliance.
2. All valves must be in the “OFF” position.
3. Open cylinder valve.
4. Ignite only the burners you wish to use, using the same method for each:
Push desired burner valve knob and rotate slowly about 1/4 counter-clockwise until a click is heard. The burner should
light. If the burner does not light, return the valve knob to the “OFF” position immediately. Wait five minutes for the gas
to clear and repeat the procedure. After burner is lit, repeat the procedure with any other burner desired.
5. Adjust valve knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
Using the Lighting Stick to Light the
Main Burners
1. Insert a match into the end of lighting stick. Light the match.
2. Once lit, place the flame through the hole on grill body to reach the burner ports.
(
See diagram to right ).
3. Press the valve knob and rotate it counter clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position. The
burner should light immediately.
If more than one burner is desired, repeat the
same procedure for
the adjacent burner and continue in sequence until all
desired burners are lit
.
4. Adjust burners to the desired cooking temperature.
Precautions
1. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit.
2. If the burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn the gas “OFF”. Open lid to let the gas clear for at least
5 minutes before re-lighting.
3. Before cooking on the grill for the first time, operate the grill for approximately 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas
turned on “HIGH”.
This will “heat clean” the internal parts, dissipate odor from the manufacturing process and painted finish.
4. Clean the grill after each use. DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners. This may damage parts of the grill and cause a
fire.

GSF2616JC
Owner’s Manual

the flame pattern is other than normal, consult the troubleshooting guide on page 21 for corrective action.
FIG. A FIG. B FIG. C
Flare-ups
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some flaring is normal
and desirable, as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is necessary,
however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire.
WARNING: Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down to LOW or OFF, if flare-ups
intensify.
Shutting Off Burners
1. Always turn the valve knob(s) clockwise to the ‘’HIGH’’ position, then press and turn it to ‘’OFF’’. Never force the knob without
pressing it. This could damage the valve.
2. Promptly turn the gas supply to the “OFF” position at the propane cylinder.
3. Close the lid of the grill.
