SAFETY HOSE AND REGULATOR
DANGER
Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and
cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, re, severe personal injury, or death.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder
1. Turn all control knobs to the “OFF” position.
2. Turn LP cylinder “OFF” by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
3. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap
supplied with valve.
4. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand tighten the
coupling nut. Hold the regulator in a straight line with LP cylinder valve so as
not to cross-thread the connection.
5. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will
seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve, resulting in some
resistance.
NOTE: If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat
steps 4 and 5. If you are still unable to complete the connection, DO NOT USE THIS REGULATOR!
Regulator Flow Limiting Device
If you are experiencing any of the following performance issues, you may have activated the flow limiting feature in your
regulator:
•Burners not getting hot enough
•Low or incomplete burner flames
•Low gas pressure
•Difficulty lighting all burners or burners not staying lit
Resetting the Regulator Flow Limiting feature
1. With all control knobs and the gas source in the “OFF” position.
2. Disconnect the regulator from the LP cylinder.
3. Turn all control knobs to the “HI” position, and let stand for 1-3 minutes, allowing all excess gas in the gas manifold
to dissipate.
4. Turn all control knobs to the “OFF” position.
5. Reconnect the hose and regulator to the LP cylinder - Do not cross thread the connection. Hand-tighten only.
6. Check all hose connections to ensure that a positive seal has been made.
7. Slowly open the LP cylinder shut-off valve.
NOTE: If the LP cylinder is opened too quickly, the flow limiting device in the regulator will activate, limiting the flow of
gas from the LP cylinder.
8. Wait approximately 5 seconds for the hose and regulator pressure to stabilize (to prevent the flow limiting device
eature from being re-activated).
9. Start with the middle two control knobs. Push in control knob to start gas flowing, then turn the control knob
counter-clockwise to activate starter.
10. Repeat step 9 for all remaining burners.
NOTE: Avoid activating the flow limiting feature by following the proper start up and shut down procedures and
performing a complete leak test and safety check to ensure that there are no leaks in the system, and that a positive
connection has been made between the gas source and manifold assembly.

LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas griddle, perform a leak test on the
connection between the grill manifold, regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily harm or death
from fire or explosion.
When to perform a leak test:
•After assembling your griddle and before lighting for the first time, even if
purchased fully assembled.
•Every time LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components
are disconnected or replaced.
•At least once per year or if your griddle has not been used for more than 60 days.
Although the gas connections on the griddle are leak tested prior to shipment,
a complete leak test must be performed at the installation site. Before each use,
check all gas connections for leaks using the procedures listed below:
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Turn all control knobs to “OFF”.
3. Ensure that the regulator is securely connected to LP cylinder.
4. Spray a water/soap solution on all connections.
5. Open LP cylinder valve by turning hand wheel counter-clockwise.
•If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a leak at the connection. CORRECT BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
•If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP cylinder valve immediately and re-tighten connections.
If leaks cannot be stopped do not try to repair. Call for replacement parts. Order new parts by providing the
serial number, model number, name and part number of items required (see parts list) to a MEMBER’S MARK
BARBECUE CUSTOMER CARE AGENT 1-833-454-0864.
6. Always close LP cylinder valve after performing leak test by turning hand wheel clockwise.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• The Griddle must be leak tested outdoors in a well ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired
electrical appliances.
ATTENTION
Leak Test must be repeated each time the LP cylinder is exchanged or relled.
ATTENTION
If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose and regulator must be replaced. Prior to operation.
WARNING
This Member’s Mark Griddle is sold propane ready, and is not convertible to natural gas. Any attempt to convert this
griddle to natural gas will void the manufacturers warranty.
