•Never connect this barbecue to an unregulated propane gas supply, or to another kind of gas. Do not alter or change the hose or regulator in any way.
•Visually inspect the whole hose assembly before each use for evidence of wear or damage such as cracks, burns, or cuts. If any damage is found, replace the assembly before using the barbecue. Use only the recommended replacement hose.
•To avoid possible damage to the hose, do not allow any grease or other hot materials to fall on the hose, and make sure the hose does not contact any hot surfaces of the barbecue.
•The connection fitting must be protected when it’s disconnected from the cylinder. Do not allow the fitting to bump or drag on the ground as nicks and scratches could help create a leak when connecting back to the cylinder.
•It is important to do the “Leak Test” procedure every time a cylinder is refilled, or any of the components are changed, and especially at the beginning of a new season.
•Information on connecting Natural Gas Models is located at the end of the manual.
