Checkwithyourgasutilityforlocalgaspressure,becauseinsomeareasnaturalgaspressurevaries.Also,checkwithyourgas
companyorwithlocalbuildingcodesforinstructionstoinstallgassupplylineorcallalicensedandqualifiedinstaller.
ItisrecommendedthatanON/OFFmanualshut–offvalvebeinstalledatthegassupplysource:

4. Donotusematches,lightersoraflametocheckforleaks.
5. Donotusegrilluntilallleakshavebeenstopped.Ifyouareunabletostopaleak,disconnectthepropanesupply,callfor
gasapplianceserviceoryourlocalpropanegassupplier.

CheckingforLeaks
1. Make2‐3oz.ofleaksolutionbymixingonepartliquiddishwashingsoapwiththreepartswater.
2. Makesurecontrolknobsareinthe“OFF”position.
3. Spraysomesolutionontheconnectionpointsofthenaturalgashose.
4. Inspectthesolutionattheconnectionsforbubbles.Ifnobubblesappear,theconnectionissecure.
5. Ifbubblesappear,youhavealeak.Proceedtostep6.
6. Disconnectthenaturalgashosefromthevalveandreconnect.Makesuretheconnectionissecured.
7. Retestwithsolution.
8. Ifyoucontinuetoseebubbles,replacethequickreleaseconnectoror/andnaturalgashose.

WARNING
Adjustingtheair‐shutterwhilethegrillisoperating.Ifitisstillhot,pleasewearprotectivegearandbecareful.Failuretofollow
thisinstructioncouldcausepersonalinjury. 
Flare‐Ups
“Flare‐ups”sometimesoccurwhenfooddrippingsfallontothehotheatdistributionplateorburnersandignite.Someflaringis
normalanddesirableasithelpsimparttheuniqueflavorsassociatedwithgrilledfoods.Controllingtheintensityoftheflare‐ups
isnecessary,however,inordertoavoidburnedorunevenlycookedfoodsandtopreventthepossibilityofaccidentalfire.
WARNING
AlwaysmonitorthegrillcloselywhencookingandturntheflameleveldowntoLOWorOFFifflare‐upsintensify.
ShuttingOffBurners
1. Alwaysturnthevalveknob(s)clockwisetothe‘’HIGH’’position,andthenpressandturnitto‘’OFF’’.Neverforcetheknob
withoutpressingit.Thiscoulddamagethevalve.
2. Promptlyturnthegassupplytothe“OFF”positionatthepropanecylinder.
3. Closethelidofthegrill.

SafetyProcedure
Toensuretheprocedureissafelyandsuccessfullyperformed,pleasecarefullyfollowtheseinstructions:

- 17 -
1. Turnoffthenaturalgasvalve.
2. TurnallburnercontrolknobstotheOFFposition.
3. Openthelidofthegrill.
4. Waitforatleast5minutes.
5. Slowlyturnthenaturalgasvalve¼turnatatimeandhavethevalveallthewayopen.
6. Withthelidopen:Forgrillwithignitionbutton:turnononlyONEfrontburnercontrolknobtotheHIGHposition.
Ignitethegrillbypushingtheignitionbutton.Forgrillwithanautomaticignition:Pushdownthecontrolknobyou
wanttolight,turncounterclockwiseuntilyouheartheignitionclick.
7. Afterthefirstfrontburnerislit,turnontheothercontrolknob(s)totheHIGHposition.**Ifyouhavemorethantwo
burners,turnthemononlyONEATATIME.
8. Whenallfrontburnersarelit,closethegrilllid.
9. Waitfor10‐15minutes;thetemperatureshouldreach400–450°F
CareandMaintenance
IMPORTANT
Alwaysallowtocompletelycooloffbeforecoveringyourgrilltopreventcorrosionfromcondensation.

CAUTION
Allcleaningandmaintenanceshouldbedonewhenthegrilliscool,withthefuelsupplyturnedoffatthecontroldialandthe
propanecylinderdisconnected.DONOTcleananygrillpartinaself‐cleaningoven.Theextremeheatwilldamagethefinish.

Cleaning
Burningoffthegrillaftereveryuse(approx.15minutes)willkeepexcessivefoodresiduefrombuildingup.Cleanthegrillbefore
