Question:
Where do I use my grill for safer operation and better performance?
Answer:
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the heating and performance of your gas grill so factor in these elements when positioning your grill outdoors for cooking.
Use your grill at least 2 feet away from any wall or surface.
Use your grill at least 2 feet away from combustible objects that can melt or catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fence and overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around your gas grill housing.
Question:
The Regulator and Hose supplied with my gas grill does not fit the older LP Gas Tank I've used for years. Why not?
Answer:
The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and LP gas tanks. When regulations are changed the LP gas tank fittings are altered to insure compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the regulator and hose assembly supplied with your new grill, then the tank is outdated and must be
replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002 all LP gas tanks sold must include an "OPD" Overfill

Question:
What can I do to keep my cast iron grates from rusting?
Answer:
Cast iron grates do require special care. We recommend you first season new grates. Wash new grates with dishwashing liquid, rinse, and dry completely with a soft cloth. Never wash them in a dishwasher. We recommend you use a solid vegetable shortening over the grates to season them the first time. Spread a thin coating with a paper towel over the entire surface, corners, and edges. Preheat your grill to 500 degrees. Turn half your burners to "LOW" and half "OFF", and place grates in the firebox for about an hour. Shut off all burners and allow the grates to cool. We recommend you coat the grates with a liquid vegetable oil before each use. We do not suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for high temperature cooking.
