DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. No smoking. Do not use or permit sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
2. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
3. Do not use matches, lighters, or a flame to check for leaks.
Caution: It is essential to keep the grill’s valve compartment, burners, and circulating air
passages clean. Inspect grill before each use.
DANGER
1. Do not touch metal parts of grill until it has completely cooled (about 45 min.) to avoid burns,
unless you are wearing protective gear (potholders, gloves, BBQ mittens, etc.).
2. Do not use in an explosive atmosphere. Keep grill area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
3. Do not alter grill in any manner
4. Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of abrasion,
wear, cuts or leaks the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.
The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.
5. Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and dripping hot grease.
6. Never keep a filled propane container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas
pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
DANGER
Do not store spare LP-gas cylinder within, under or near this grill.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
A fire causing deaths or serious injury may occur if the above is not followed exactly.
PRECAUTIONS
Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to
any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn
while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn
while cooking.
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for grill use, see the original manufactures recommendations before using on a grill. These
types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat
settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid. Never lean over an open grill.
When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surroundings as these
areas become extremely hot and could cause burners. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp

4
potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot portions
of the grill rack.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting excess grease
deposits collect in the grease tray at the bottom of the grill’s firebox. Clean often.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner
on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of
heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or other such
enclosed areas.

LEAK TESTING
General
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment, or excessive force unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically
check the whole system for leaks following the procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is
detected at anytime you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.

5
Before Testing
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill.
WARNING: DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
To Test
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Create mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid
dishwashing soap. Apply to following test connections (1. All propane cylinder welds, hand wheel,
and connections, 2. All regulator and propane cylinder connections 3. All hoses and connections
between manifold, burners, & propane cylinder) Turn the gas supply on. Soap bubbles will appear
where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking
fittings, turn gas on, and recheck. Should the gas continue to leak from any or all of the fitting, turn
off the gas supply, and contact our customer service.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution will
void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Gas Flow Check
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the
local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames and burners should be
visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these
conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider
webs, etc.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Grill:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning, however when grilling large pieces of
meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning.
This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or foods
basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
To Begin Grilling
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.
2. Remove any remaining packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions in this manual. The igniter knobs are located on
the lower center portion of the front panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the control panel.
4. Turn the control knob(s) to “HI” and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed
during the appliance preheat period.

6
5. After the grill is preheated use a wire brush with a 12” or longer handle and scrape cooking
grates. Always wear heat resistant gloves to perform this task.
6. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary.
The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LO”.
NOTE: The grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind.
Heat is radiated by the stainless steel flame tamers positioned above each burner.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer preheat, the faster the meat
browns and the darker the grill marks.
LIGHTING
Before Lighting
Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas “ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or
abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. Only the
pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit should be used. Never substitute
regulators for those supplied with the grill.
To Light Grill Burner
Make sure all knobs are “OFF” then turn on the gas supply. Always keep your face and body as far
from the grill as possible when lighting.
Your grill has an exclusive patented built-in ignition. The igniter is built in to the valve. To ignite
each burner simply push and turn the control knobs to the HI setting, you will hear the valve click
as it sends a spark to the pilot flame. If the burner does not light, wait 5 minutes for any excess gas
to dissipate and then retry.
To Match Light the Grill
If the burner will not light after several attempts then the burner can be match lit.
If you’ve just attempted to light the burner with the igniter, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated
gas to dissipate. Keep your face and hands as far away from the grill as possible. Insert a lit
extended match or lighter through the cooking grids to the burner. Press the control knob and
rotate left to the HI setting, continue to press the knob until the burner ignites. Burner should light
immediately.
Resetting the Safety Regulator
If the burner does not light in 4 seconds turn the knob off and check fuel supply level also check if
the regulator safety has tripped. To reset, shut off the fuel supply at the tank then shut off the
temperature control knobs on the front of the grill, finally remove the regulator from the fuel
supply and reattach, doing this resets the safety in the regulator.

CLEANING & CARE
Burn off the grill after every use for 5 to 10 minutes to keep excessive food residue from building
up. Use a wire brush to clean the cooking grates.
To clean the fire box remove the grates and use a putty knife/scraper to remove excessive build up
of grease and food.
Drip Pan/Ash Tray
To clean, simply open the back door of the PRO A/T Stand or the MVP Cradle (depending upon
which model the grill his is used with) and slide it out the back then scrape with a putty knife or
something similar and reinsert back in its proper location. You may also clean the grease pan with
dishwashing detergent and warm water solution.
ADJUSTING GAS FLOW
The “LOW” setting gas flow can be adjusted to raise or lower the minimum heat output of the grill.
Note this only affects the “LOW” setting while the “HI” setting will not be affected.
To change setting, first ignite burner and set on “LOW”. Remove control knob (The knob uses a
small latch, and with enough pressure can be snapped on and off easily.) Using a flat head
screwdriver, find the internal brass adjustment screw. Adjust to desired flame size.
(It will be easier to adjust flame size with grill and heat deflector removed)
