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.
Your grill has been designed to operate using only the gas specified by the manufacturer on the rating plate.
Do not attempt to operate your grill on other gases. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard
and bodily harm and will void your warranty.
Make certain your LP (propane) tank is filled by a reputable propane dealer. An incorrectly filled or an
overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled 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
flammable and can be explosive. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information concerning filling your
LP tank.

Gas grills that are set to operate with L.P. gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly.
(Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement
pressure regulator and hose assembly specified by the manufacturer). This assembly is designed to
connect directly to a standard 9 kg (20 lb.) L.P. cylinder. L.P. cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P.
cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.
Connecting a Liquid Propane Gas Tank to the Grill:
1. Make sure the tank valve is in the OFF position.
2. Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper external mating threads to fit the hose and regulator
assembly provided (Type 1 connection per ANS Z21.89b-2012).
3. Inspect the valve connection port of the regulator assembly. Look for damage or debris. Remove any
debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never use damaged or plugged equipment.
4. Make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
5. Connect the hose and regulator assembly to the tank valve .Hand-tighten the quick coupling nut
clockwise to a full stop (as below shown).
DO NOT use a wrench to tighten because it could damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous
condition.
7. Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water solution to check all connections for
leaks before attempting to light your grill. See “Pre-Operation Leak Testing" on page 14. If a leak is found,
turn the Tank Valve off and do not use your grill until the leak is repaired.

Disconnecting a Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) Tank from Your Grill:
1. Turn the burner knobs and LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position. (Turn clockwise to close.)
2. Detach the hose and regulator assembly from the LP gas tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise (as shown below).
CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply tank.
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of
gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder
is heated, averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as
applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet
connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
(The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill protection device and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P.
gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and
Commission.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to
ensure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism
internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the
valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow and
causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive
abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area.

14
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.
• 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.
Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
PRE-OPERATION LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check
must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive
pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and
immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected.
1. Do not smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
5. Turn off the burner control knobs.
6. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise two (2) rotations to open.
7. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear, there is
no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off
the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.
8. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
9. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the control
knobs back off.
10. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the
regulator. Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is
replaced.
It is also recommended that you perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply
cylinder has been disconnected.
When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections. A slight leak in the
system can result in a low flame or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a
leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas
supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow, making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.
WARNING
WARNING

15
If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas company. If necessary, replace
the faulty part with the manufacturer’s recommended replacement part. A slight leak could cause a fire.
Do not use the grill in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area. Never operate the grill in
enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup, which could result in injury or death. Place
the grill on a level surface. Avoid moving the grill while it is in operation.
NOTE: The grill will operate best if it is not facing directly into the wind
