RECORD YOUR SERIAL #: (see the silver ETL label on on the
door inside your grill's main cart)
- Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a re or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage.
- Whether this grill was assembled by you or someone else, you must read this entire manual before using your grill
to ensure the grill is properly assembled, installed, and maintained.
- Use your grill at least three feet away from any wall or surface. Use your grill at least three feet away from

OWNER'S MANUAL
TYTUS FRESNO SERIES
WARNING (CONT.)
- NEVER use charcoal or lighter uid in this gas grill. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a
grease re or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
- Before each use of your grill, inspect the grease tray, ame tamers, and the inside of the grill bowl to be sure
there is no excessive grease and debris buildup. Clean the grease tray, ame tamers, and inside of the grill bowl
frequently to eliminate grease/debris buildup and to prevent greas res. Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in a grease re and even a subsequent explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
DANGER
- lf you smell gas:
A) Shut o gas to the appliance.
B) Extinguish any open ame.
C) Open the lid.
D) lf the odor continues, keep away from the appliance, and immediately call your gas supplier or your re department.
- Never cover slots, holes, or passages in the grill bowl or cover an entire rack with material such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks air ow through the grill and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
trap heat, causing a re hazard. lf the instructions above are not followed exactly, a re may cause death or
serious injury.
- Your grill will get very hot. NEVER lean over the cooking area while using your grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces,
grill housing, grill lid, or any other grill parts while the grill is in operation, or until the grill has cooled after use.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in serious bodily injury.
- NEVER store ammable liquids or materials in the cabinet. Failure to comply with these instructions could result
in a re or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
CAUTION
- Failure to comply with these instructions may result in a hazardous situation which may result in injury.
- Spiders and small insects can spin webs and nest in the grill burner tubes during transit and warehousing which
can lead to a gas ow obstruction, resulting in a re 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 FLASHBACK FIRE you must clean the burner tubes before initial use, at least once a
month in the summer and fall (whenever spiders are active in your area), and if your grill has not been used for
an extended period of time. See “Burner Tubes and Burner Ports” (page 45) for instructions.
- NEVER cover or wrap the cooking grids, bottom of the grill bowl, or grease tray with aluminum foil or any other
material that will absorb grease.

CORRECT PROPANE GAS TANK USE
- Propane gas grill models are designed for use with
a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank
(sold separately). Never connect your gas grill to a
propane gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank
of approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches
high is the maximum size propane gas tank to use.
You must use an "OPD" gas tank which oers a listed
Overll Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents
the tank from being overlled which can cause a
malfunction of the LP Gas tank.
- The propane gas tank must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the Specications 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.
- The propane gas tank must have a shuto valve,
terminating in an propane gas supply tank valve outlet,
that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection
device.
- The propane gas tank must also have a safety relief
device that has a direct connection with the vapor
space of the tank.
- The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
- The propane gas tank must have a collar to protect the
tank valve.
- Never connect an unregulated propane 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 propane
gas tank. Only use the regulator and hose assembly
supplied with your gas grill. Any replacement hose and
regulator assembly must be identical to those listed in
the parts list of this User Manual as specied by the
manufacturer.
- Have your propane gas dealer check the release valve
after every lling to ensure it remains free of defects.
- LP Tank valve must be closed when grill is not in use.
Close by turning valve clockwise.
- Always keep the propane gas tank in the upright
position.
- Do not subject the propane gas tank to excessive heat.
- Never store an propane gas tank indoors. lf you store
your gas grill in the garage, always disconnect the
propane gas tank rst and store it safely outside.
- Propane gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area and out of the reach of children.
- Disconnected propane gas tanks must not be stored in
a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
- The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after
opening the right cabinet door and must be inspected
before each use of the grill. lf there is excessive
abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to using the grill again.
- Any attempt to convert the grill from one fuel type
to another is extremely hazardous and must be
performed by a qualied gas technician only, using
a natural gas conversion kit purchased from TYTUS.
Contact TYTUS Customer Support for more information.
- Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before
checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully seated
over the gas valve orices.
- Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not allow
children or pets to play near your grill. Always supervise
children and pets if they are in the vicinity of the unit.
- Use of alcohol, prescription, or non-prescription drugs
can impair your ability to properly assemble and safely
operate your grill.
- Keep a re extinguisher readily accessible. ln the event
of an oil/grease re, do not attempt to extinguish with
water. Use a type B extinguisher or smother with dirt,
sand, or baking soda.
- ln the event of rain, turn o the burners and gas supply.
Wait for the grill to cool, and then place a cover on it.
- Use your grill on a level, stable surface in an area clear
of combustible materials.
- Do not leave the grill unattended when in use. Do not
move the appliance when in use.
- Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.
- Do not use your grill as a heater.
- This grill is not intended to be installed in or on
recreational vehicles and/or boats.
- This grill is not intended for commercial use.
- Never use charcoal or lighter uid in this grill.
Never use lava rocks or wood chips.
- Please protect your grill with a grill cover when not
in use. Only use the cover when the grill is in cold
conditions and when the grill is not hot.

NOTE ABOUT PROPANE GAS TANK EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
- Many retailers who sell grills oer you the option of replacing your empty propane gas tank through an exchange
service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision ll, test, and certify their tanks.
Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as described in the propane gas tank section of
this manual.
- Always keep new and exchanged propane gas tanks in an upright position during use, transit, or storage.
- Leak test new and exchanged propane gas tanks BEFORE connecting one to your grill. See "Checking for Gas Leaks"

- Use your grill three feet away from any combustible objects that can melt or catch re such as vinyl or wood
siding, fences, overhangs (see diagram below), or any other sources of ignition, including pilot lights and live
electrical appliances.
- Do not use your grill under any combustible overhead construction.
- Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway, or any other enclosed area.
