Safety Information
Warning
· Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious
bodily injury, death or property damage.
· Spiders and small insects can spin webs and nest in the grill burner tubes during transit and
warehousing which can lead to a gas flow obstruction resulting in a firein and around the burner

operating condition for the user.
To reduce the chance of a FLASHBACK FIRE you must clean the burner tubes as follows
before initial use. Do this at least once a month in summer and fall or whenever spiders are active
in your area, and if your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner using a Phillips head screwdriver.
2. Carefully lift each burner up and away fromthe gas valve orifice.
3. Check and clean the burner tubesfor insects and insect nests.A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneaththe grill.
4. Refer to thefigurebelow and perform one of these 2cleaning methods:
METHOD 1:Use a bottle brush witha flexible handle and run the brush through the burner tube
and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.

Warning
Thegas pressure regulator and hose assemblyprovided with this outdoor cooking appliance must
be used. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11 in.water column (W.C.) / 27.9cm water
column (W.C.).
Regulator:
Your regulator is equipped with a Q.C.C. Type 1 quick connect system. It will not allow gas to flow until a
positive seal has been made. It has a thermal element that will shut off the gas flow if the temperature
reaches 239 degrees F (115 degrees C). It also has a flow-limiting device that will restrict the flow of gas to
9.8 cubic feet per hour (0.28 cubic meters per hour).
To Connect The Cylinder To The Regulator And Hose:
:
1. Be sure the LP cylinder is “OFF” by turning the hand wheel clockwise until it stops.
2. Be sure all burner controls are turned to the “OFF” position.
3. Remove the safety capfrom the cylinder valve.
4. Center the nipple of the regulator into the cylinder valve.
5. Turnthe black nut clockwise until it stops.
Hand Tighten Only. Do Not Use A Wrench.
CAUTION: Whenthe appliance is not in use the gas must be turned off at the tank.

Flow Limiting Valves On LP Gas Tanks
Your LP gas tank is equipped with a flow limiting valve that will restrict the flow of gas due to a sudden
changein pressure. This can often activate without your knowledge. You will notice among other things that
your grill does not get as hot as it should, will takelonger to heat up, or you may not be able to light all
burners. If you notice any of the above, then you should reset the valve and clear your gas line.
To Do This:
1. Ensure the LP gas tank valve is OFF.
2. Disconnect the regulator from the LP gas tank.
3. Open all burner control knobsincluding the side burner to Hi/Light at the sametime.
4. Turn all burner control knobs to OFF.
5. Let the LP gas tank standfor at least 10minutes.
6. Reconnect the regulator assembly to the LP gas tank.
7. Slowly, meaning about 1/4 turn at a time, turn on the LP gas valve.
8. Follow the burner lighting procedures to light the burner farthest away from the gas source.
9.Theflow limiting valve should now be reset.
This flow limiting valve is triggered by sudden changes in pressure. This can be caused by a leak, faulty
connectionof the regulator to the LP gas tank, turning on the LP gas tank valve too quickly, or turning the
burners off by turning the LP gas tank valve off beforeturning the burner control knobsto off.
Note: Always turn off your burners using the burner control knobsfirst beforeturning the LP gas tank valve off.
TransportationAnd Storage
1. Place a dust cap on the 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 of propane valve. Other types of
caps or plugs may result in leakage.
2. Always transport your cylinder in an upright position.
3. Do not smokewhen transporting your cylinder.
DisconnectingALiquid Propane Gas (LPG) Tank From Your Grill
Make sure the burner valves and LP gas tank valve are off.(Turn clockwise to close.)
Detach the hose and regulator assembly from the LP gas tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.

•The burner flame should appear blue and stable as shown in pictures. There should be no yellow sparks,
loud noise nor should it be raised upfrom the nozzle.
•A yellow flamemeansthat there is not enough oxygen supply. Loud noises and a flame raised up from the
nozzle means that there is too muchoxygen.
•Check the appearanceof the burner flame prior to each use. Should deviations be present, contact a gas
specialist to reset the grill.

Turning Off The GasGrill
•After each use, turn the temperatureknobs to OFF position and let the gas grill cool down on this position
for about 5 minutes. Make sure that the lid is open at this time.
•Close thevalve on the gas cylinder. Waituntil the gas grill has completely cooled off beforeclosing the lid.
•If you do not use the grill for a long period of time, disconnect the gas cylinder from the grill and store it in
a safelocation.
•Cover up your gas grill with a commercially available cover, or your RICHMAN Grill cover if you do
not plan to use it for a long period of time.
Cooking Tips
Beforeusing the gas grill, brush the grill grates with cookingor vegetable oil. Use a soft bristle grill brush with
a long handle. The juices from the food drip ontothe flametamer during cooking andvaporize. The steam
arising from this process contributes to the taste of the food.
•Set the temperature knobs to the desired positions in order to reach your desired results.
•A more consistent result can be reached with the lid closed. In this case however, the temperature
should be set to thedesiredtemperatureforthefoodsbeingcooked.
•Withthe lid closed, foods such as larger pieces of meat or whole chickencan be cooked.
•Whenthe lid is closed, heat collects inside the gas grill. Therefore, you should avoid opening it too
oftenas accumulated heat escapes each time and thegrilling time increases as a result.
Tips Regarding Burning Grease:
•Grease and juice that drips from meat onto the flame tamer produces flames which also contribute to the
grilling taste.
•Make sure that bursts of flame are not produced, otherwise the meat could burn.
•Before grilling meat, cut away as muchfat as possible and do not use too muchmarinate so that the
meat does not burn.
•Only use meat that is suitable for grilling. Try to avoid grilling meat with too muchfat.
•If a greasefire occurs, turn the temperatureknobs to the OFF position. Turn off the gas supply on the gas
cylinder and wait until the fire goes out by itself.
•Keep a fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the event of an oil or grease fire, do not attempt to
extinguish with water. Use a Type B fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
