CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
OPERATION
Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the procedures listed below:
HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST
1. Gas Supply knob must be “OFF”.
2. Ensure that the regulator is securely connected to LP cylinder.
3. Spray a soapy water solution onto regulator and tank connection.
4. Turn Gas Supply counter-clockwise towards “ON” position. If “growing”
bubbles appear, or you hear a rushing sound, there is a leak at the
connection. Close gas supply. Remove propane cylinder by turning counter-
clockwise. Either reconnect or use a different propane cylinder, and recheck
for leaks with soapy water solution. If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to
repair. Call for replacement parts.
5. Always turn gas supply “OFF” (clockwise) until it is closed, after performing
leak test and rinse connections with water.
LIGHTING WITH GAS IGNITION SYSTEM
The Pro Series Gas Assist Charcoal Grill uses a gas ignition system to take the hassle out of lighting charcoal.
1. Open Lid. Ensure the charcoal grate is in position.
DANGER: Failure to lift the lid can cause a gas build-up that can cause
a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury, death, or
damage to property.
2. Open bottom bowl vent. Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure that
vents are open.
3. Lift both sides of hinged cooking grate. Arrange approximately 50
briquettes (1.5 kg / 3.3 lb) into the charcoal baskets.
4. Position loaded Charcoal baskets over burner. Lower hinged grates.
5. Turn Gas Supply “ON” (counter-clockwise) at least one full turn.
WARNING: Do not lean over grill while lighting.
6. Turn Ignition Switch clockwise until a click is heard. Retry if ignition does
not take place.
ATTENTION
•Leak test must be repeated each time the LP cylinder is exchanged or relled.
•Do not smoke during a leak test.
•Do not use an open ame to check for gas leaks.
•The grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas res
electrical appliances.

WARNING
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of gas and often build nests inside burner. At first sight of yellow,
unruly flames, or poorly lit burner, shut down your grill and remove and clear obstructions, like insect webs, from
your burner and valve gas jet.
WARNING
Lighting your burner without first cleaning the Venturi tubes, port holes, and interior of your burners, can lead to a
serious Flash-Back fire, resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
ADDING CHARCOAL DURING COOKING
1. Open the charcoal lid.
2. Move food to one side of cooking grate.
3. To access the charcoal grate, lift the hinged portion of the cooking grate.
4. Load approximately 12-20 additional briquettes (390g – 320g / 0.86lb – 1.15lb.) for each additional hour of cooking
required.
5. Do not overfill charcoal baskets. Baskets should be able to be moved and repositioned, without briquettes falling
out of baskets.
Charcoal recommendations are approximate. Longer cooking times, cold or windy temperatures will require that
additional charcoal be added to reach and maintain ideal cooking temperatures.
OPERATION
CAUTION
Always wear protective gloves. Use caution when adding charcoal to the grill. Flames may flare up when coals
come in contact with fresh air. Stand back a safe distance and use a long-handled heat-resistant cooking tongs to
add additional charcoal briquettes.
ATTENTION

OPERATION
MANAGING TEMPERATURE
Oxygen is an essential part of building a proper fire, elevating and stabilizing cooking temperatures and controlling
cooking times. The Pro-Series Gas Assist Charcoal Grill comes equipped with three air intake controls.
FEATURES LIGHTING & COOKING
During lighting and operation all vents
should be in the OPEN position. More
air increases the burning temperature of
the coals.
SHUT DOWN
Closing the vent either partially or completely
will help to cool down the coals. Less air
decreases the burning temperature.
Lid Vent
Fire Bowl Vent
Ash Sweep
The Ash Sweep functions
as both a cleaning tool for
eliminating ash from the rebowl,
and also an air intake control
while cooking.
