Checking for Leaks

Burner Connections

1.Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.

If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner venturi pipe and orifice. Make sure the burner venturi pipe fits over the orifice.

WARNING: Failure to inspect this connection or follow these instructions could cause a fire or an explosion which can cause death, serious bodily injury, or damage to property.

2.Please refer to diagram for proper installation. (Figure 1 and 2)

3.If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice, please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

Tank/Gas Line Connection

1.Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.

2.Make sure control knobs are “OFF”. (Figure 3)

3.Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN”.

4.Spoon leak check solution at all “X” locations (Figure 4)

a.If any bubbles appear turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED”, reconnect and re-test.

b.If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED” and disconnect LP gas tank and contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

c.If no bubbles appear after one minute turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED”, wipe away solution and proceed.

Operating Main Burners

First Use

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

2.Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time by operating the grill for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odors.

Lighting

1.Open lid. Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion!

2.Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the burners. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner / venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.

3.All control knobs must be in the “OFF” position. (Figure 3)

4.Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN”.

5.Select burner to light. Push and turn control knob counterclockwise to “HIGH”.

6.Press the electronic igniter button and hold for 5 seconds to light burner.

7.If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner control knob “OFF”, wait 5 minutes, and repeat lighting procedure.

8.If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod provided to light burners manually. Access the burners through the cooking grid and heat plates. Position the lit match near side of the burner. (Figure 5)
