Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious
personal injury and/or property damage.
LP Tank Valve
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For
Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten
cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when
mixed with air.
LP Cylinder Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP
cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by
temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP
cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This
is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP
dealers.

Retainer Strap
• A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must
have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP tank
in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered
patio or other building. Never leave an LP tank inside a vehicle
which may become overheated by the sun.
• Do not store an LP tank in an area where children play.
DANGER
5
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• If the information in the two points above is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.
• An overfilled or improperly stored cylinder is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the safety
relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk
of property damage, serious injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately
get away from the LP cylinder and appliance and
call your fire department.
LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only those
reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test
and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for an OPD
safety feature-equipped tank as described in the "LP Tank"
section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position
during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to
grill.

Safety Relief Valve
Strap and Cap
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or
refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames
or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water
solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows
in figure below. Leaks are indicated by growing bubbles.
Do not insert a POL transport plug
(plastic part with external threads)
into the type 1 valve outlet. It will
defeat the Safety Relief Valve
feature.
WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP
tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP
tank valve. Hand-tighten the coupling
nut, holding regulator in a straight line
with LP tank valve so as not to crossth-
thread the connection.

▲ When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder
valve.
▲ Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
▲ Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid
burns and splatters.
▲ Maximum load for side shelf is 10 lbs.
▲ The Drip tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each
use. Do not remove Drip tray until grill has completely cooled.
▲ Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle
brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure
no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It
is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
▲ If you notice Drip or other hot material dripping from grill
Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve,
Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free
and clear of debris.
▲ Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure
that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of
either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
▲ The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during
operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
▲ If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve
immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should
not be used on any product. Return to supplier!
CAUTION
• Putting out drip fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a drip fire. Personal injury may
result. If a drip fire develops, turn knobs and LP
cylinder off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been
regularly cleaned, a drip fire can occur that may
damage the product.
Electronic Ignition Lighting Instructions
▲Do not lean over grill while lighting.
1. Open lid during lighting.
2. Turn ON gas valve on tank.
3. Push and turn any main burner control knob to HI and
hold in. You will hear a clicking sound from the electrodes of
all burners.
4. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner
control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure.
5. To ignite another burner, repeat step 3.
6. Once burners are lit, adjust knobs to desired flame
setting. To extinguish an individual burner, turn its knob to OFF.
If the igniter does not work, follow Match Lighting instructions
9
CAUTION
WARNING
Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF
when not in use.
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the
lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with
the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the
burner and could accidently ignite with risk of injury.
Match Lighting Instructions
▲Do not lean over grill while lighting.
1. Open lid during lighting.
2. Place match into match holder (hanging on left
side panel).
3. Light match and insert match holder through
lighting hole in side of firebox.
4. Place lighted match next to a burner. Turn
burner knob to HI position. Be sure burner lights
and stays lit.
5. To light the other burners repeat step 4.
6. Once burners are lit, adjust knobs to desired
flame setting. To extinguish an individual burner, turn
its knob to OFF.
Burner Flame Check
• Remove cooking grates and flame tamers. Light burners, rotate knobs
from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW position
than seen on HI. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame
is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in the Troubleshooting
Section.
Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off.
When you are finished grilling, raise the grill lid while allowing the grill to
fully cool. If the grill lid is closed during grill cooling, condensation may
occur on interior grill surfaces and possibly cause them to rust.
Igniter Check
• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor button.
"Clicking" should be heard and spark seen each time between collector
box or burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.
Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves.
Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valves, first push in knobs and
release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace
valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn
back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace
damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator as
specified in the parts list of this Use & Care Guide.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of Drip and smoke for
paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should
never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use
a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse
and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven
cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can
be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated
cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner
and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe
dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on Drip deposits may require
the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of
brushed finish to avoid damage.
Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill
cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces
prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while
grill is hot.
Drip Tray and Cup: When the grill has completely cooled down after
use, remove the Drip cup from the bottom of the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray
in this grill is not removable. You will have to remove the burners to
properly access the drip tray for cleaning. See the Cleaning the Burner
Assembly section for instruction to remove and reinstall burners.
Reinstall the burners and reattach the drip cup to the bottom of the drip
tray before using the grill again.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use
a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube
several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and
corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large
cracks or holes are found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve
openings. See illustrations below.
8. Carefully replace burners.
9. Attach burners to brackets with cotter pin.
10. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace
heat diffusers and cooking grates.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder
2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.
3. Remove cotter pin from rear of burners.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
SPIDER ALERT!
.
.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback”
problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s
venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The
backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This
is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause
injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
.
Storing Your Grill
•Clean cooking grates.
•Store in dry location.
•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturer once available.
•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner
Assembly
” instructions before starting grill.
10
SPIDER ALERT!
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the venturi’s.
IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes
are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in
which spiders tend to build nests.
11
Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill
by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit
burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or
poultry without the touch of a direct flame. This method greatly
reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there is no
direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.
1 Burner Cooking
Cook with direct or indirect heat.
Best for smaller meals or foods.
Consumes less fuel.
Indirect Cooking Instructions
• Always cook with the lid closed.
• Once burners are lit, extinguish an individual burner by turning its
knob to OFF.
• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold
and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be
increased to insure sufficient cooking heat.
• Place food over unlit burner(s).
2 Burner Cooking
Great indirect cooking on low.
Produces slow, even heating.
Ideal for slow roasting and
baking.
Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly. For
more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-
535-4555 (In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00 am
4:00 pm EST).
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on
the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to
check for visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should
reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices.
Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to
145° F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
WARNING: To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be
cooked to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table
below.

installed properly.
• Faulty spark module.
• Check battery orientation.
• Has battery been used
previously?
• Check to insure threads are
properly engaged. Button
should travel up and down
without binding.
• If no sparks are generated
with new battery and good
wire connections, module is
faulty.
• Install battery (make sure that “+” and “-”
connectors are oriented correctly, with “+” end
up and “-” end down.)
• Replace battery with new AA-size alkaline
battery.
• Unscrew button cap assembly and reinstall,
making sure threads are aligned and engaged
fully.
• Replace spark module assembly.
