· Never use this appliance indoors, on recreational
vehicles, or boats.
SELECTING A LOCATION
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Keep grill and accessory appliances clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
· Locate your LP gas grill in an open area with good
ventilation and at least 10 feet away from your house

carport, porch, high traffic area or under any surface
that can catch fire.

Before using your gas grill perform a leak test on the LP
Cylinder connections and hose connections.
PERFORMING A LEAK TEST
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Always perform a leak test before each use.
· Never use a match or open flame to test for gas leaks.
· Perform a leak test in a well ventilated area.
· Do not perform a leak test on a grill while it is hot or
in use.
· Do not use the LP gas grill if you detect a gas leak
that cannot be corrected by using the leak test
procedures.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· LP gas is not natural gas. Do not attempt to convert an
LP unit to natural gas or a natural gas unit to LP gas.
Any unspecified use or alteration of this unit could be
unsafe and will void your warranty.
· Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area
with good ventilation to avoid breathing toxic fumes
from leaking gas, explosion or fire. In addition, the
combustion products of such fuels, including liquefied
petroleum (LP), contain chemicals known to the state of
California and other authorities to cause cancer, birth
defects and other reproductive harm.
Supplies Needed for a Leak Test: Clean paint brush, water,
and dish washing liquid.
1) Set up your grill at the location where you will be using
it. Open Hood Vent, then fully open the Grill Hood.
2) Mix one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid.
3)Make sure the
Control Knob is
in the “LOCK/OFF”
position.
4a) Attach 1 lb. LP cylinder to the regulator (See previous
page).
4b) Brush soap solution generously around LP Cylinder
Connection. If “growing” bubbles appear, then you
have detected a gas leak.
4c) If a leak appears at the 1 lb. cylinder/regulator
connection, unscrew the cylinder and retighten but do
not overtighten. (Note: Only hand tighten. Do not use
any tools.) Repeat Leak Test. If a leak cannot be
stopped, disconnect the LP cylinder and do not use the
grill. Call Customer Service at 1-800-251-7558.
