VM508K / VM658K Assembly
CAUTION: Some parts may have sharp edges; to avoid injury, wearing gloves during assembly, lifting or mov-
ing the grill is recommended.
Step 22: Install the Internal Components
Parts Required:
VM508K: (4) Sear Plates
(3) Cooking Grates
(1) Warming Rack
VM658K: (5) Sear Plates
(4) Cooking Grates
(1) Warming Rack
Figures 22 & 23
Carefully place each of the sear plates side by side inside the barbecue. Make sure the semicircular finger
groove is facing toward the front of the grill. Each sear plate rests just above each burner tube.
Set the cooking grates, side by side, on the upper ledge of the grill tub. Make sure the finger groove is fac-
ing toward the front of the grill.
Set the warming rack into the supports located on either side of the rear lid.
NOTE: One side of the grate surface is rounded and more suitable for meats. The other side is flat and
more suitable for delicate foods (i.e. fish). The grates can be turned over according to your preference.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to turn the cooking grates over while the grill is in use and the grates are hot.
Doing so could result in severe burns and other injuries.

VM508K / VM658K Assembly
CAUTION: Some parts may have sharp edges; to avoid injury, wearing gloves during assembly, lifting or mov-
ing the grill is recommended.
Step 24: Install the LP Cylinder
(LP Models ONLY)
Parts Required:
(1) LP Gas Cylinder (not included)
Figures 25 & 26
NOTE: Check your User’s Manual for the cylinder filling requirements, how to attach the regulator and how
to test for leaks before you try lighting the grill.
CAUTION: Make sure the hose is not touching any hot or sharp surfaces.
Place the LP Cylinder into the hole in the bottom panel. Next secure it from moving by lifting the cylinder
retainer wire and latching the bent edge over the lip of the cylinder. The final step is to connect the regula-
tor to the cylinder.
CAUTION: Do not turn on/ignite the grill until after performing a leak check at all gas connection points and
fittings. With the main LP cylinder valve OPEN, and ALL CONTROL KNOBS FULLY OFF, use a spray solu-
tion of 50% liquid soap and 50% water onto all gas connection points and fittings. The formation of bubbles
indicates an air leak that must be repaired and verified with this leak test before the grill is ignited.
NOTE: Ensure all plastic coatings have been removed from all stainless steel parts before using the grill.
