DANGER

NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in enclosed areas.

Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. An overfilled spare LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas released from the safety relief valve. The safety relief valve on a LP tank could activate releasing gas and cause a fire.

If you see, smell or hear escaping gas, immediately get away from the LP tank/grill and call your fire department.

All spare LP tanks must have safety caps installed on the LP tank outlet.

Before opening LP tank valve, check the coupling nut for tightness.

When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP tank valve.

Never move grill while in operation or still hot.

When moving the grill push it forward, do not pull from behind.

Use long-handled barbecue utensils to avoid burns and splatters.

Do not remove grease receptacle or tray until grill has completely cooled.

If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill onto valve, hose or regulator turn off gas supply at once. Determine the cause, correct, clean and inspect valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.

The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
