• Install safety cap onto LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve. Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
• A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must have a safety cap installed.
• Do not store an LP tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP tank inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.
• Do not store an LP tank in an area where children play.

---

6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP tank valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.

---

How do you leak test valves, hose, and regulator?

1. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.

4. Brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles are shown in picture.
5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank valve immediately and retighten connections. If leaks cannot be stopped do not try to repair. Call for replacement parts at 1-844-553-6667.
6. Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by turning hand wheel clockwise.

What are some safety tips to follow when using the grill?

• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that burn.
• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.
• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use in enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch, covered patio, or under an overhead structure of any kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.
• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface. Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch fire, or to sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.
• Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for tightness.
• When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder valve.
• Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
• Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns and splatters.
• Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
• The drip tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each use. Do not remove drip tray until grill has completely cooled.
• Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
• If you notice drip or other hot material dripping from grill, determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve. Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free and clear of debris.
• Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
• The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
• If you have a grill problem see the “Troubleshooting Section”.
• If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier.
• Putting out drip fires by closing the lid is not possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a drip fire. Personal injury may result.
• If a drip fire develops, turn knobs and LP cylinder off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been regularly cleaned, a drip fire can occur that may damage the product.

How do you clean the grill in general?

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Regularly clean the grease drippings from the Grease Tray and Grease Cup. When the grill has completely cooled down after use, remove the cup from the tray and slide the tray out of the grill. Clean.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

What is indirect cooking?

Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat from lit burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or poultry without the touch of a direct flame.

How can you tell if meat is grilled thoroughly?

• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices.
• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145° F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
