22. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates
some byproducts which are on the list of substances known by the state of California to
cause cancer, reproductive harm, or other birth defects. To reduce exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you
provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.
IMPORTANT: We urge you to read this manual carefully and follow the recommendations
enclosed. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your
new gas grill. We also advise you retain this manual for future reference.
WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using only the gas specied by the
manufacturer on the rating plate. Do not attempt to operate your grill with other gases. Failure
to follow this warning could lead to a re hazard and bodily harm and will void your warranty.
WARNING: Make certain your LP (propane) tank is lled by a reputable propane dealer. An
incorrectly lled or an overlled LP tank can be dangerous. The overlled condition combined
with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP
gas to be released by the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature increase
causes the propane to expand. LP gas released from the tank is ammable and can be
explosive. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information concerning lling your LP tank.

COOKING WITH GAS
For Portable LP-Gas Connection
The cabinet has an opening in the bottom panel that allows a 20 lb. gas tank bottom ange to
drop into place (tank sold separately). This will help to lock the tank in place. Before installing
your gas tank, lift up the safety tank ring (as shown in Fig. 21a). After positioning the tank in
the opening, lower the safety tank ring to lock the tank in place. Use only a 20 lb. gas tank
(see LP Gas Safety Requirements for Additional Information). As shown in Fig. 21b, it is
unsafe to operate the grill if the gas tank is not vertical.
LP Tank
Fig. 21a Fig. 21b
WARNING: The Type I connective coupling (see Fig. 22) supplied with your grill must
not be replaced with a different type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will
result in loss of warranty, gas leakage, re and severe bodily harm.

The propane tank valve connection supplied with this grill incorporates four important safe guards:
Hand Assembly, Hand Disassembly, Excess Flow Control and Temperature-Activated Shut-Off.
Fig. 22

20 Lowes.com/masterforge
COOKING WITH GAS
a. Hand Assembly:
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. When connecting the regulator/burner valve assembly to the tank valve, turn the large plastic
nut clockwise until it stops.
3. Gas will not ow unless the plastic nut is completely connected.
4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
b. Hand Disassembly:
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn the large plastic nut counterclockwise until it is disassembled.
3. HAND LOOSEN ONLY.
c. Excess Flow Control and Low Heat:
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess ow device designed to supply the
grill with sufcient gas ow under normal conditions yet control excess gas ow.
Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess ow device providing a low ame and low
temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas ow while a burner valve is open,
the surge of pressure will cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the
pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5 seconds.
To ensure this does not cause difculty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
3. Light the burners one at a time following the lighting instructions.
d. Temperature-Activated Shut-Off:
The large plastic nut on the regulator assembly is designed in coordination with a check valve
in the tank valve to shut off the ow of gas when exposed to temperatures between
240-300° F.
In the event of a re or hose break, one of the safeguards will function to control or stop the
ow of gas from the propane tank. Never attempt to use damaged equipment.
Important: Before the use of a fresh tank of gas, please check leakage around the
connections according to section ‘Checking Gas Leaks’ and make sure there is no
leakage or vapor accumulation in the cabinet. Make sure all openings around side
walls are not blocked.
Important: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use.
Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
