2.Make sure regulator/control knob is “LOCK/OFF”. (Figure 2)

3.Spoon several drops of solution, or use squirt bottle, at all “X” locations. (Figures 4 & 5)

4.Inspect the solution at the connections, looking for bubbles.

a.If NO bubbles appear after one minute, the connections are secure. Wipe away solution and proceed.

b.If bubbles appear, you have a leak.

1.Remove the LP gas tank and reconnect, making sure the connection is secure.

2.Retest with solution.

If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, disconnect LP gas tank and contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

First Use

1.Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.

Caution: Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not possible.

•Do not use water on a grease fire. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage. If a grease fire develops, turn regulator/control knob “OFF”.

•Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on “HIGH”. If grill has not been regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.

WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials shall be readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

Minimize Flare-ups:

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill, and adds to the unique flavor of grilling.

Excessive flare-ups can over cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill.

Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.

1.Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.

2.Cook high fat contents meats indirectly.

3.Ensure that your grill is on hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into grease cup.
