CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals, including carbon monoxide, which are
known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to:
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
WARNING: We urge you to read this manual carefully and follow the recommendations
enclosed. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new gas
grill. We also advise you retain this manual for future reference.
WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using only the gas specied by the
manufacturer on the rating plate. DO NOT attempt to operate your grill on other gases.
Failure to follow this warning could lead to a re hazard and bodily harm and will void your warranty.
WARNING: Make certain your LP (propane) tank is lled by a reputable propane dealer. An
incorrectly lled or an overlled LP tank can be dangerous. The overlled condition combined with
the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be
released by the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature increase causes the propane
to expand. LP gas released from the tank is ammable and can be explosive. Refer to your Owner’s
Manual for more information concerning lling your LP tank.

Fig. 3a Fig. 3b
WARNING: The Type I connective coupling (see Fig. 4) supplied with your grill must not be
replaced with a different type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will result in loss of warranty, gas
leakage, re and severe bodily harm.
Fig. 4
background
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
23
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Always perform leak tests outdoors ONLY in a
well-ventilated area.
DO NOT smoke during leak test. DO NOT use
an open ame to check for gas leaks
Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use
or while grill is still hot.
.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
Every time prior to lighting the grill, even if
purchased fully assembled.
Repeat Every time the LP gas cylinder is relled
or exchanged.
Any time your grill has been moved.
At least once per year or if your grill has not
been used for more than 60 days..
When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections. A slight leak in the
system can result in a low ame or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a leak
detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. A
leak may signicantly reduce the gas ow, making the grill difcult to light or causing low ames.
DANGER
WARNING
WARNING
Perfom Leak Test
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check
must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifts during shipment, installation or excessive
pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately
check the system if the smell of gas is detected.
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Ensure all control knobs are set to the “OFF” position.
3. Turn ON LP gas tank at valve.
4. Brush soapy solution at all ”X” locations (see Fig.5).
5. Check each place for growing bubbles If “growing” bubbles appear,
turn the Tank Valve off and DO NOT use your grill until the leak is
repaired. A slight leak could cause a re. If no bubbles appear after
one minute, turn tank OFF, wash off soapy solution with cold water and
towel dry.

LP TANK INFORMATION
LP TANK USE
24
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas tank under or
near the grill. Never ll the cylinder beyond
80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a
re causing death or serious injury may occur.
WARNING
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overlling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the ow
of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the
cylinder is heated, averting a re or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specied, as
applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet
connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed
area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overll protection device and a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specications for
L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and
Commission.”
When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to ensure
proper gas ow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the
tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may
simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, and restricting gas ow causing low ames.
Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the OFF position.
Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the appliance.
The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
The regulator and hose assembly 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 the grill being used again.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
26
We highly recommend this gas grill be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualied service
person.
It is recommended that you always check that the outdoor cooking appliance area is clear and free from
combustible material, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids before lighting.
It is recommended that you regularly check that the ventilation openings of the grill cabinet are free and
clear from debris.
It is recommended that you regularly check and clean the burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect
nests. A clogged tube can lead to a re beneath the grill.
It is recommended that you regularly check that the ow of combustion and ventilation air is not
obstructed.
Recommended Cleaning Supplies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mild liquid dish soap, warm water, nylon cleaning pad, wire brush.
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or any abrasive substance.
Outside Surfaces
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only use mild dish soap and hot water to clean grill and grill parts. Rinse with warm water.
Drip Tray
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The drip tray should be kept clean on a regular basis to prevent heavy buildup of debris. Accumulated grease
is a re hazard.
Important: DO NOT leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain water can
collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use
and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will ll with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart.
Ensure the grill is cool before cleaning and conducting maintenance and with the gas supply turned
off at the LP-Gas Cylinder.
To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool.
Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces.
A leak test must be performed annually and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced or
gas smell is present.
For your safety, always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.

Cooking Grates
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To ‘burn off’ or heat clean your grill, turn the burners to highest position and run for 15 minutes with the lid
closed. Then turn off the burners and use a wire brush to clean excess food residue from the grates.
Stainles Steel
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners. This is normal.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease
can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn appearance. For
removal, use a non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Painted Surfaces
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive
cloth
Porcelain Parts
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain parts of your grill have a porcelain coating. Porcelain is a glass-based product and is highly durable
to standard wear and tear. However, porcelain is sensitive to concussive blows, which can create interlaced
micro-fractures or “spider-webs.” Please take care not to strike any porcelain covered parts with solid objects,
drop them, or create any other concussive blows. These interlaced micro-fractures are common and may lead
to minor chipping. Neither the chipping nor the interlaced micro-fractures will adversely affect the performance
of your grill and are not covered under the warranty for porcelain parts.
Ignitor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must take some actions to prevent cracking of the burner’s ceramic ignitor surfaces, which will cause the
burners to malfunction. Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
IMPACT WITH HARD OBJECTS - Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic ignitor. You should take
particular care when inserting or removing cooking grids and accessories into or from the grill. If objects such
as these fall onto ceramic ignitor, it is likely to crack the ceramic.
IMPAIRED VENTILATION OF HOT AIR FROM GRILL - In order for the burners to function properly, hot air
created by the burners must have a way to escape. The burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing
them to backre, especially if the burner output is set at HIGH. If this occurs repeatedly, the burners may
crack. This is the reason your grill was designed with ventilation louvers. These design features give the hot air
an escape route. Accordingly, never operate your grill with very little or no open space at the cooking surface
(the cooking grids provide sufcient space). Also, DO NOT cover the entire surface with foil, a large pan, etc.

Storage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ensure the grill is properly cooled.
Storage of this gas grill indoors is permissible only if the gas cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the grill.
Store the grill in a cool dry place.
Always disconnect the gas cylinder and store it in a safe place, never store a gas cylinder on its side.
Never store a gas cylinder in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
If you intend to leave your grill outside make sure it is protected from the elements by a heavy-duty cover
(not included).
Keep outdoor cooking gas grill area clear and free form combustible materials, gasoline and other
ammable vapors and liquids.
Although the grill is manufactured from quality materials, including some parts manufactured from stainless
steel, storage out in the open may result in corrosion of some exterior surfaces or components. We
recommend you protect your grill from the weather by covering it with a grill cover, tarp, or other protective
material or device.
In addition, a commercial stainless steel cleaner or wipe will keep the stainless steel components maintain
their as-new appearance.
-----------------------------------
WARNING
----------------------------------
Clean grill in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns, or patios.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT use oven cleaner to clean any part of this gas grill. DO NOT use a self-cleaning oven to clean
cooking grids or any other parts of the gas grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause
rapid deterioration of the gas grill components unless cleaned regularly.
--------------------------------
SPIDER ALERT
---------------------------------
SPIDER AND WEBS INSIDE BURNER TUBE
Spiders or small insects have been known to create
ashback problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and
lay eggs in the grill’s burner tubes obstructing the ow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the
burner tube behind the control panel. This is known as a
ashback and it can lead to a re and even cause injury.
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
ame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check
and clean the burner tubes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Main Burner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To prevent Flash backs and good performance of burner, the procedure below should be followed at
least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active or when your grill has
not been used for a period of time:
1. Turn off at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and ame tamers
3. Remove cotter pins from rear of burners. Detach ignition wire from the ignition pin by hand only. DO NOT
use tool. Then Lift burner slowly.
4. Check all burner ports are clear of clogs. Use of
a pin or paper clip works well.
5. Ensure the end of the burner and primary
air screen are clear from insect nests, dirt or
debris. Using a bent stiff wire in the shape of a hook , or a bottle brush, run it through the burner tube and
inside several times to remove any debris.
6. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new
burner.
Re-Installing Main Burners
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ensure the gas valve orices must be correctly positioned inside the burner tube. If the burner tube
does not t over the valve orice, lighting the burner may cause explosion and/or re.
It is recommended to use a ashlight to view the correct position through the rebox vent holes as
illustrated below.
After checking , reattach each burner with the cotter pins and reattach the ignition wire to the ignition
pin by hand.
