Installing Cooking Components

Important: Before cooking on your grill the first time, wash the cooking grids and cooking rack with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Season with cooking oil regularly. After cooking is completed, turn grill to HIGH setting for about five minutes to burn off excess grease or food residue.

1.Place the 3 Stainless Steel Flame Tamers on the lower ledge above burners. See Fig. 14. They should meet in the center.

2.Evenly space the reversible Stainless Steel Cooking Grids on the ledge above the Stainless Steel Flame Tamers.

3.Place the Secondary Cooking Rack into the slots on the upper left and upper right of grill bowl panels.

Connecting A Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas) Tank To Your Grill

1.Hang your filled gas tank on the Tank Hook. The lower section of the gas tank wilt lean on the Tank Guide. See Fig. 15. Make sure the LP gas tank valve is in the full OFF position. (Turn clockwise to close.)

2.Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper external mating threads to fit the hose & regulator assembly provided. (Type 1 connec- tion per ANSI Z21.58a-1998)

3.Make sure all burner valves are in the OFF position.

4.Inspect the valve connection port and regulator assembly. Look for any damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never attempt to use damaged or plugged equipment.

When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the tank valve, hand tighten nut clockwise to a full stop. Do Not use a wrench to tighten because it could damage the Quick Coupling Nut and result in a hazardous condition.

Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise).

6.Use a soapy water solution to check all connections for leaks before attempting to light your grill. See "Checking for LP Gas Leaks" on page 17. If a leak is found, turn the tank

valve off and do not use your grill until the leak is repaired.

Disconnecting A Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas) Tank From Your Grill

1.Turn the burner valves and LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position. (Turn clockwise to close.)

2.Detach the hose and regulator assembly from the LP gas tank valve by turning the Quick Coupling Nut counterclockwise.
