zSafety Information
Warning
zFailure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious
bodily injury, death or property damage.
zSpiders 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 fire in and around the burner
tubes. This type of “FLASHBACK FIRE” can cause serious grill damage and create an unsafe
operating condition for the user.
To reduce the chance of a FLASHBACK FIRE you must clean the burner tubes as follows before
initial use. Also 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 from the gas valve orifice.
-3.Check and clean the burner tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
-4.Refer to the figure below and perform one of these 3 cleaning methods:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger into a small hook as shown and run
the hook through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove debris.
METHOD 2:Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle and run the brush through the burner
tube and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.
METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air through each burner tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstruction through the burner and out the ports.
For safe operation ensure the gas valve assembly orifice is inside the burner tube before using your grill.
See figure. If the orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the burner may cause an explosion and/or
fire resulting in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

Grill Installation Codes
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the national
fuel gas code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, Natural gas and propane installation code, CSA B149.1, or
propane storage and handling code, B149.2, or the standard for Recreational vehicles, ANSI A 119.2,
and CSA Z240 RV series recreational vehicle code, as applicable.
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas tank, not included
with grill. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.
Warning
Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) grill models must be used with the liquid propane gas regulator
assembly supplied. Any attempt to convert the grill from one fuel type to another is extremely
hazardous and will void the warranty.
Grill shall be used only outdoors and shall not be used in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around your gas grill cabinet.
Never disconnect the gas regulator assembly or any gas fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill
can ignite leaking gas and cause a fire or explosion which could result in property damage, personal
injury or death.
Keep the gas regulator hose away from any heated surface and dripping grease. Avoid
unnecessary twisting of the hose. Visually inspect the hose prior to each use for cuts,
cracks, excessive wear, or other damage. If the hose appears damaged, do not use the gas
grill. Call 1-866-898-8187 for a Richman replacement gas hose assembly
Warning
zThe gas hose should be inspected after each use-look for any cuts, cracks, excessive wear or other
damage. Let the hose be replaced every two years by a qualified technician or the retailer only.
zOnlyusehoseandregulatorsapprovedforLPGGas.
zAvoid twisting and bending of the gas hose.
zKeep the gas hose or any other electrical cords away from hot surfaces of the grill.
zThe gas hose must comply with national regulations and should not be longer than 1.5 meters.

zRegulator & Hose Instructions, Gas Tank Instructions
Gas Installation
Correct LP gas tank use
zLP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. (9.1kg) Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas)
tank, which is not included with the grill. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that
exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12” (305mm) in diameter by 18-1/2”(472mm) high
is the maximum size LP gas tank to use. You must use an “OPD” gas tank which offers a listed
Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents tanks from being overfilled which can cause
malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and grill.
zThe LP gas tank must be 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, as applicable.
zThe LP gas tank must have a shutoff valve terminating in a LP gas supply tank valve outlet that is

RM200
2 burners gas grill

compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief
device that has a direct connection with the vapor space of the tank.
zThe tank supply system must have a means for vapor withdrawal.
zThe LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.
zNever connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied
with your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 11”water column (W.C.) for connection
to an LP gas tank. Only use the regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas grill.
Replacement regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by Richman.
zHave your LP Gas dealer check the release valve after every filling to ensure it remains free of
defects.
zAlways keep the LP gas tank in an upright position. Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive
heat.
zNever store an LP gas tank indoors. If you store your gas grill indoors, always disconnect the LP
gas tank first and store it safely outside.
zLP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area and out of the reach of children.
zDisconnected LP gas tanks must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
zThe regulator and hose assembly can be seen after opening the door (if applicable) and 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 using the grill again.
zNever light your gas grill with the lid closed or before checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully
seated over the gas valve orifices.
zNever allow children to operate your grill. Do not allow children or pets to play near your grill.
zUse of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability to assemble and operate the appliance.
zKeep 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 extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand, or baking soda.
zIn the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off the burner and gas supply.
zUse your grill on a level, stable surface and ensure the locking casters are locked before use.
zDo not leave the grill unattended when in use.
zDo not move the appliance when in use.
zAllow the grill to cool before moving or storing.
zDo not use your grill as a heater.
zThis grill is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and /or boats.

Notes about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs
zMany retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP gas tank through an
exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test
and certify their tanks. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety feature equipped tank as
described in the LP gas tank section of this manual.
zAlways keep new and exchanged LP gas tanks in an upright position during use, transit or storage.
zLeak test new and exchanged LP gas tanks BEFORE connecting one to your grill.
Testing for gas leak
Warning
A. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance.
B. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full;
C. If the information in “(a)”and “(b)” is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.

RM200

zTest all connections for gas leaks before first use, at the beginning of each new season, or when
gas cylinder was changed.
zMake sure procedure is carried our in well ventilated area and never in a presence of flame, sparks
or heat source. If you smell gas, never attempt to light the grill.
zMake sure that all temperature knobs on the grill are in the OFF position.
zOpen the gas valve of the gas cylinder and/or the pressure regulator.
zTest all connections for leaks. For testing use a half water/half soap solution. Apply the solution to
the connection points with a brush.
zIf the bubbles occur, immediately turn off the gas supply on the valve of the gas cylinder. Tighten
all connections again and repeat the test.
zIf gas bubbles still occur, do not use the grill and contact your retailer.
Regulator and LP Cylinder Connections
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 240 degrees F (115 degrees C). It also has a flow-limiting device that will restrict
the flow of gas to 10 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. Place the cylinder into the base cabinet shelf of the grill with the valve facing outward and secure with
the cylinder support ring.
3. Be sure all burner controls are turned to the “OFF” position.
4. Remove the safety cap from the cylinder valve.
Warning
Never check for gas leaks using a match or any other open flame, Risk of explosion.
Warning
When your gas cylinder is empty, do not try to refill it by yourself but bring it back to an authorized
reseller who will safely refill it or exchange it.
Warning
The gas pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this outdoor cooking appliance must be used
.
This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11 inches water column.

RM200

5. Center the nipple of the regulator into the cylinder valve.
6. Turn the black nut clockwise until it stops.
Hand Tighten Only. Do Not Use A Wrench.
CAUTION: When the 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
change in 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 take longer 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 knobs including the side burner to Hi/Light at the same time.
4. Close all burner control knobs to OFF.
5. Let the LP gas tank stand for at least 10 minutes.
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. The flow 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
connection of 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 before turning the burner control knobs to off. Note:
always turn off your burners using the burner control knobs first before turning the LP gas tank valve off.
Transportation and Storage
1. Place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type
