1.Turn all grill control knob(s) to OFF.

2.Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tank.

WARNING

•If the regulator frosts turn off grill and LP tank valve immediately. This indicates a problem with the tank and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

Valve Check

•Important: Make sure gas is OFF at LP tank 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, worn or kinked. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.
