! WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
•Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
•Turn the control knobs to OFF position.
•Put out any flame with a proper fire extinguisher.
•Open Grill Lid.
•Get away from the LP gas tank.
•Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
•If odor continues or you have a fire you can not extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call near the LP gas tank because your telephone is a form of electrical device and could create a spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.

If humming noise is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the pressure regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help with this procedure refer to page 16, Item 4 of “If Grill Still Fails To Light”, or call the Grill Information Center at
