LP GAS CYLINDER
DANGER - If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of LP gas escaping from the cylinder:
1. Do not attempt to light appliance.
2. Extinguish any open flame.
3. Disconnect from fuel supply.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
• This appliance can produce carbon monoxide which has no odor. Using it in an
enclosed space can kill you.
• Never use this appliance indoors, on recreational vehicles, or boats.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from fire or explosion:
• Use only propane gas with this LP gas grill.
• Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas.
• Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation
to avoid breathing toxic fumes from combustion or leaking gas. As with all
conventional fuels, the burning process consumes oxygen and produces toxic
gases, including carbon monoxide. In addition, the combustion products of
such fuels, including liquefied petroleum (LP), contain chemicals known to the
state of California and other authorities to cause cancer, birth defects, and
other reproductive harm.
• Read and follow all warnings on LP Gas Cynlinder.
• Do not operate the LP gas grill without the LP gas cylinder oriented as instructed
in "Connecting LP Gas Cylinder" on page 7.
• Never connect or disconnect LP Gas Cylinder or fittings while grill is in use or
is hot.
• Do not use an LP Gas Cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of
dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or other
forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked
immediately by a liquid propane supplier.
• Do not store a spare LP Gas Cylinder under or near the LP gas grill.
• When grill is not in use, turn off all grill Control Knobs and disconnect LP Gas
Cylinder.

ENGLISH
• Never fold or transport grill while LP Cylinder is attached.
• Never refill a 1 lb. cylinder.
The LP Gas Cylinder, for use with this LP gas grill, must meet the following
requirements:
1. 1 lb. capacity.
2. Contructed and marked in accordance with Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of
Canada, CAN\CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable (See collar for marking).
3. Marked "PROPANE."
4. Provided with a cylinder connection device that is compatible with the grill's
connection.
LP REGULATOR
WARNING - To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from fire or explosion:
• Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas
appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior to being used if there is evidence of
excessive abrasion or wear.
• Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been supplied with this gas grill.
Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer. A replacement gas regulator
must be specified by this grill's manufacturer before using.
• Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator
to the LP Gas Cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, over
winter).
Any use or alteration of this unit inconsistant with these instructions could
be hazardous and will void your warranty.
NOTE: If the regulator assembly is not working properly and you need a replacement,
contact: Customer Service at 1-877-303-3135. Be sure to have the grill model
number and serial number printed on the label located on the inside surface of the
rear leg.
If you need a replacement part under warranty, a proof of purchase will be
necessary. You will be asked to forward your proof of purchase. It is important to
retain your receipt.
