provide you with many years of enjoyment with a minimal amount of maintenance. Please keep in mind the
following FOR YOUR SAFETY.
OPERATION
1. Your gas grill requires reasonable care during operation. It will be hot during cooking and cleaning.
You should never leave the grill unattended or move the grill when in use.
2. Children should never use your gas grill. Keep younger children and pets away when in use.
3. Only use your gas grill outside in a well-ventilated area. Never use indoors in any building, garage,
shed, or under any type of flammable canopy or overhang.
4. Ensure your grill is on level ground and the locking casters are locked before use.
5. Turn all gas valves off should the burners go out when cooking. Open the lid and wait 5 minutes before
relighting.

LP Gas and Cylinder Information
Your new gas grill operates on LP (Liquid Petroleum) Gas. It is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic when
produced. You can smell LP gas as it has been given an odor similar to rotten cabbage for your safety.
Your grill uses the newest and safest LP Gas Cylinder.
1. O.P.D. (Overfill Protection Device) – prevents accidental gas leaks
caused by overfilling of the tank. Each tank contains a float that
closes the input valve when the tank is 80% full. This allows room
for the LP gas to expand in hot temperatures. A triangular hand wheel
distinguishes this type of tank.
2. O.C.C.1 Type 1 Quick Connect Valve – provides fast tank hook-ups and requires only to be tightened by
hand.
In addition, the LP tank you use with your grill must meet the following requirements
1. Required Measurements: 12-1/2” (317mm) in diameter and 18-1/2” (472mm) in height.
2. 20-pound (9.1kg) propane cylinder.
3. Constructed and marked with U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) for the US or CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, for
Canada.
4. A safety release valve.
5. A means for vapor withdrawal.
!
WARNING
1. Do not attempt to use a cylinder with any other type of connection device.
2. Do not attempt to use a cylinder with a larger capacity
Triangular Hand Wheel

LP CYLINDER FILLING AND EXCHANGE
Some areas only allow you to exchange your empty cylinder for a replacement that is already full. Other areas
allow you to refill your cylinder. If you are in an area where you can refill your cylinder:
1. Use only a licensed dealer.
2. The dealer must first purge the cylinder before filling.
3. Never fill a cylinder more than 80% full by volume. Volume will vary by temperature. An empty
cylinder weighs approximately 18 pounds (8.2kgs). A full one approximately 38 pounds (17.3kgs).
4. Be sure the LP dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.
5. Do not release LP gas into the atmosphere, as it can unexpectedly ignite when mixed with air.
6. Contact a LP dealer to remove LP gas from a cylinder.
7. Only exchange your cylinder for one with an O.P.D. feature as shown on previous page.
LP CYLINDER LEAK TEST
A leak test should be done each time a cylinder is refilled or exchanged. Do
not smoke or use any type of flammable material in the area during this leak test.
Do not use an open flame to check for leaks.
1. Test outside in a well ventilated area.
2. Use a paintbrush and a solution of 50% liquid soap and 50% water. Do
not use cleaning agents and they can damage the fuel supply parts.
3. Brush liquid onto areas highlighted with arrows.
4. Growing bubbles indicate a leak.
