WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Make certain your LP gas 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 gas 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.

From the front of the cart, place foot ring of 20 lb. tank into the hole in the bottom panel. Make sure the tank valve is in OFF
position. Use the tank bolt to secure the tank in a fixed position. Before installing the gas tank, lift up the safety tank ring (Fig.A).
Ensure the tank is completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the gas tank is not installed properly. Note incorrect
positioning in Fig.B. Use only 20 lb. gas tank.
WARNING: The type I connective coupling (see below) supplied with your grill must not be replaced with a different
type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will result in loss of warranty, gas leakage, fire and severe bodily harm.
The liquid propane tank valve connection supplied with this grill incorporates four important safe guards: Hand assembly, hand
disassembly, excess flow control and temperature-activated shut-off.
1
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. When connecting the regulator/burner valve assembly to the tank valve, turn the large plastic nut clockwise until it stops.
3. Gas will not flow unless the plastic nut is completely connected.
4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
2
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn the large plastic nut counterclockwise until it is disassembled.
3. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
3
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas flow under
normal conditions yet control excess gas flow. Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow device providing a low flame
and low temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner valve is open, the surge of pressure will
cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5 seconds.
14
. .
15
To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are ”OFF.”
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
4
The large plastic nut on the regulator assembly is designed in coordination with a check valve in the tank valve to shut off the
flow of gas when exposed to temperatures between 240o-300oF (115o-148oC). In the event of a fire or hose break, one of the
safeguards will function to control or stop the flow of gas from the propane tank. Never attempt to use damaged equipment.
IMPORTANT: Before using a fresh tank of gas, please check leakage around the connection system to make sure there
is no leakage or vapor accumulation in the cabinet. Make sure all openings around side walls are not blocked.
IMPORTANT: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only use 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.
The grill is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The rating plate is located on the inside panel of the left door.
The regulator supplied is set for 11 inch (27.94 cm) water column (WC) and is for use with LP gas only. The factory-supplied
regulator and hose must be used with a 20lb. (9 kg) LP gas tank. Contact your gas supplier for a special regulator for bulk
gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or
wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used.
Total gas consumption of this grill with the burner(s) on “HIGH”:
Burner Type BTU/HR
Main Burners 12,000 x 4
Side Burner 13,500 x 1
This gas appliance is designed and certified for outdoor use only. Do not operate the grill inside a building, garage, recreation
vehicle, screened porch or any enclosed area. Keep the grill away from windy areas but keep the grill in a well-ventilated area. Do
not obstruct the flow of the combustion and ventilation air around the grill.
•
A minimum clearance of 24 inches (60.96 cm) from the sides of the grill and a minimum clearance of 48 inches (121.92 cm)
from the back of the grill to adjacent vertical combustible constructions must be maintained. We strongly recommend a 6 ft.
clearance of the grill to any combustible constructions.
•
A minimum clearance of 48 inches (121.92 cm) from the back of the grill above the cooking surface to noncombustible
constructions is required to allow the grill hood to open completely. A minimum of 48 inches (121.92 cm) clearance to the sides
of the grill above the cooking surface to noncombustible constructions is recommended. The grill can be installed directly
next to noncombustible construction below the cooking surface.
Warning: Do not place the grill under overhead, unprotected combustible surfaces.
16
When firing your grill for the first time, it is advisable to run the main burner(s) on “HIGH” for 20 minutes with the hood down
and then turn the main burners off. This tempers the grill.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the hood is completely open each time you attempt to light the grill. Failure to open the hood
could lead to delayed ignition resulting in bodily harm. Use the flame observation hole in the side panel.
It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After lighting, close the hood and preheat
the grill on “HIGH” for 15 minutes. This preheating will ensure that the cooking grid and grate are hot enough for proper grilling.
To Light the Main Burners and the Side Burner
1. Make sure the control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2. Open the grill hood.
3. Check the ignition pin position and distance between the pin and the burner.
4. Make sure the drip tray is installed.
5. Open the LP tank or natural gas valve.
6. Light each burner separately. Turning on two burner valves together could trip the flow
limiting device in the tank connection (LP grills only).
7. Push the control knob in and turn the knob to the left to “HIGH” position.
8. Push and turn burner control knob to “HIGH” and immediately press and hold electronic igniter.
9. If the burner still does not ignite, TURN OFF THE GAS. WAIT 5 MINUTES for excess gas to dissipate.
10. If the burner still can’t be lit, refer to the troubleshooting section.
IMPORTANT: The hood must be open when lighting any burner manually with a match.
1. Turn on gas supply.
a) If portable, at the LP cylinder valve.
b) If permanent gas supply, at the manual gas shutoff valve.
2. Locate the flame observation holes on each side.
3. Open the right door to access the match clip with chain.
4. Attach either the match or paper to the clip), light the
match and insert it close to the ports of the burner, and
push and turn the depressed knob to the
left to “HIGH” position.
5. The center burner (if needed) can be lit from center grid by
inserting the match clip into the front side of flame tamer.
Light this burner before igniting both outside burners.
6. Depress burner valve for that burner and turn to “HIGH.”
17
7. Observe that the burner has ignited. Remove the match and extinguish.
8. Repeat steps 2-6 for the next burner.
CAUTION: Do not cover the grids during the preheating period.
WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires
can be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and bodily harm.
Unscrew the electrical ignition button and remove the old battery. Replace with new AA battery.
Note: The negative (-) side of the battery goes in first. Please refer to the mark on the side of the cap.
Cooking with the lid open or closed is a matter of personal preference.
•
Cooking with the lid-open is recommended if you enjoy cooking at maximum searing temperatures. This method will also
produce more flare-ups, speed the cooking procedure and will give you a more robust, smoky, outdoor flavor. Lid-open when
grilling meats, especially chicken.
•
If you prefer cooking slower with less flare-up, we suggest the lid-closed method. Perfect for indirect or rotisserie cooking.
We recommend always cooking with the lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or colder climate.
Your grill has been designed and constructed to give you maximum flexibility and cooking performance. Be creative. Try different
cooking methods on your grill to determine which suits your needs best. There is no right or wrong way to cook, just alternative
cooking styles. Get creative and enjoy!
CAUTION: Always protect your hand with a pot mitten or cooking glove when coming into contact with a hot surface.
Before operating your grill, after refueling, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight and there are no gas leaks.
1. Make 2-3 ounces of leak solution by mixing liquid dish-washing soap with water.
2. Make certain all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Brush small amounts of leak solution on all the fittings and turn the gas on.
4. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Proceed to step 5.
5. Turn the gas off and tighten all connections.
6. Go back to step 1 to retest the fittings.
7. If bubbles continue to appear, turn the gas off. Contact Customer Service.
WARNING: Never use a match or open flame for leak detection. Use of an open flame could result in fire, explosion and
bodily harm.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing any gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be sealed with approved leak-proof
sealing compound or plumber’s tape.
18
Visually check the burner flames prior to each use. The flames should appear blue. If
they do not, refer to the section on cleaning burner tubes and ports.
Before cooking on your grill the first time, wash cooking grids and cooking rack with
warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry roughly. Season with cooking oil regularly. After
cooking is completed, turn grill to HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes to burn off excess
grease or food residue.
WARNING: Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
WARNING: The LP gas supply cylinder(s) to be used must be:
(a) Constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-Gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
(b) Provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
(c) Provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
To keep the grates free of charred food remains, run the grill on “HIGH” for 15 minutes after cooking is complete and food has
been removed. CAUTION: Do not cover the grill during the post heating period.
After post heating your grill, turn the control knobs to the “OFF” position.
After the burner box cools down, the propane tank valve should also be closed. If you do not want to wait for the burner box to
cool, use a covered hand to turn off the propane tank valve.
WARNING: Do not attempt to turn off the LP tank valve without first covering your hand with a protective mitt or
allowing the grill to cool down. Failure to follow this warning could result in a severe burn.
For LP gas grills, the LP gas supply tank to be used must be: Constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP
Gas Tanks of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, as applicable; and Provided with a listed Overfill Prevention
Device (OPD).
• The tank should be 12 inches in diameter and 18-1/2 inches tall and be equipped with a Type-I fitting.
• The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
• The tank used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open flame. Use a soapy water solution and apply it to the pipe joints and fittings
with a brush and check for bubbles. Check flexible hoses for cuts and wear that may affect the safe operation of the grill. Only

the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose assemblies specified by the
manufacturer.
LP tank should be securely locked by the patented safety tank ring at all times. An unlocked tank may fall or tilt which can cause
injury or property damage. It is recommended to lock the tank all the time.
After positioning the tank in the opening, lower the safety tank ring to lock the tank. Use only 20lb (9.07 kg) gas tank.
WARNING: The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the outdoor cooking gas appliance must be used.
Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the outdoor cooking gas appliance
manufacturer.

Remember to handle your portable liquid propane tank carefully when you take it to your dealer for a refill. Avoid dropping
it or bumping it against sharp objects. Liquid propane tanks are sturdily constructed, but a series of hard jolts could damage
the container.
When transporting the tank to your local propane gas dealer, make sure the valve is closed tightly and the protective cover
is in place. Position the tank securely in an upright position so it will not roll around your vehicle.
If you plan to make stops for shopping or errands, have your liquid propane tank filled at the last stop before going home.
Again, make certain the refilled tank is secure and in an upright position. When you return home, remove the refilled tank
from your vehicle. Never leave a portable liquid propane tank inside a vehicle that may become overheated by the sun.
•
Do not store portable liquid propane tanks (whether full or empty) inside your home, the living area of an R.V., a garage,
basement or workshop. It is unlikely that liquid propane will leak from the tanks. If it should leak, the fuel could be exposed
to sparks from automobiles, power tools or other appliances. When storing or transporting your LP tank, it must remain in
an upright position. Never lay your LP tank down on its side whether it is full or empty. Never store a spare tank under or
near your grill.
CAUTION: Never transport or move your grill or grill tank without first closing the manual valve on your liquid propane
gas tank.
The best place to store a liquid propane tank is in a shady or protected spot outdoors, behind your home or garage, or on a
screened porch but where it is out of reach of children. Liquid propane will not evaporate. It is in a strong, closed container.
It will not lose any of its clean-burning heat content, even if left outside year-round.
WARNING: When not connected to your grill, the LP gas tank must be stored in an upright position in a cool, shady,
well-ventilated, outdoor location away from your grill or any other heat source. Failure to follow his warning could
lead to tank valve damage, fire hazard and personal injury.

It is extremely important that your LP tank be filled properly when you take it to be refilled. Be sure to use a reputable LP
dealer and observe how the tank is filled and at what capacity. An overfilled LP tank can be dangerous.
The proper way to fill a tank is by weight. The empty tank should be placed on a scale. The scale weights should be readjusted
to a weight that would allow up to 80% of its total capacity. If the tank is not completely empty, the scale readjustment must
be changed to consider the propane (LP) already in the tank.
WARNING: An liquid propane tank is overfilled if it contains more than 80% of its total capacity of propane (LP).
An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP (propane) tank can be dangerous. If a tank is overfilled and the weather causes the
warming of the LP tank, (a hot day, tank left in sun or stored indoors) internal pressure is created due to expansion of the
propane which in turn may cause the LP gas to be released through the pressure relief valve on the tank. The pressure relief
20 23
valve is a safety device required on 20 lb (9.07 kg) propane tanks by the Department of Transportation or the National
Standards of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission,
as applicable, to prevent a catastrophic tank failure due to excessive pressure. LP gas released from the tank is flammable
and can be explosive.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be sealed with approved leak-proof
sealing compound or plumber’s tape. After making connections, check all joints for leaks using a soapy water solution
and a brush.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Use of an open flame could result in a fire, explosion and
bodily harm.
This gas grill is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is non-rusting in certain conditions; therefore, a cover and stainless steel
cleaner should be used when the grill is not in use.
• Wipe with stainless steel cleaner on all non-cooking surfaces once a month.
• Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot.
• After initial grilling, certain areas of the grill (i.e. the vents, hood and burner box) may discolor. This is normal discoloration
caused by the intense heat from the burners.
• Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can usually be removed with warm
soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. As a last resort a mild abrasive pad could be used with a stainless cleaner. Use light
pressure on the pad and always scrub in the direction of the grain. There are many products that will help clean and protect
on all non-cooking surfaces.
• Do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the polished surface. Use caution when cleaning. Metal polish or a mild chrome cleaner can
be used to bring back luster and highlights. Naval Jelly can be used to remove rust stains that occur from outside sources.
Follow the Naval Jelly instructions carefully.
• To touch up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface lightly with 160 dry grit emery sand paper in the
direction of the grain.
This drip tray collects excessive grease runoff and fallen food particles. Allow the tray and its contents to cool before cleaning.
Loosen the back grill head cover (J) and slide out the drip tray and then wipe it clean.
Make sure the tray is installed properly before using the grill. It is highly recommended that you check the tray regularly to avoid
any possibility of a grease fire; however, most of the drippings will vaporize back into the cooked item giving you an outdoor
grilled flavor.
To check the amount of propane fuel in the liquid propane gas tank, the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top
of the tank and slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of
propane gas in your tank; if ¾ empty, refill.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of such material will void
your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
