It’s easy, fast, safe, and available at tens of thousands of conveniently located retail outlets nationwide, which are typically open nights and weekends. You can purchase a fresh, precision-filled tank or exchange your empty for a fresh, precision-filled tank. Another option is to have your tank refilled at a refill station. Be sure to check the hours of operation for the refill station.

Checking for Leaks

Burner Connections

All control knobs must be in the “ OFF” position (Figure 3).
Connect LP gas tank per “Installing LP Gas Tank” section.
Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN.”
NG: Turn natural gas main valve to “ON.”
Push and turn any control knob to (HIGH). The burner should light. If it does not, repeat up to three times.
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner control knob “ OFF,” wait 5 minutes,and repeat lighting procedure.
If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod (included withgrill) to light burners. Access the burners through the cooking grid and heat plates. Position lit match near side of burner (Figures 5 and 6).

Important: Always use the lighting hook (included) when lighting burners with a match.

After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height matches illustration (Figure 7).

(a) LP gas tank valve “CLOSED” or
(b) NG main valve “OFF” and open lid to let the gas clear forminutes before re-lighting.
Turning Off
1. Turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED.”
2. Turn all control knobs clockwise to the “ OFF”
position.
Note: A “poof” sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.
Disconnect LP gas tank per “Disconnecting LP Gas Tank” section. Controlling Flare-ups

CAUTION: Putting out grease fires by
only closing the lid is not possible.

If a grease fire develops, turn control knobs to the “ OFF” position and LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED”. Do NOT use water on a grease fire. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage.
Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on (HIGH). If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur.

WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be
readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT attempt to extinguish with water. Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling. Excessive flare-ups can over- cook your food and be dangerous.

Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If a grease fire occurs, close the lid AND turn the control knob(s) to “ OFF” until the grease burns out. Be careful when opening the lid as sudden flare- ups may occur. If excessive flare-ups occur, do NOT pour water onto the flames.

Minimize Flare-ups:

Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
Cook high fat content meats on (LOW) setting or indirectly.
Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into grease receptacle.

CAUTION: Maximum weight for side burner and side shelf is 33 lbs.
CAUTION: Using pots larger than 6 quarts in capacity could exceed weight limit of the side burner shelf, resulting in failure of grill cart components.
CAUTION: Do NOT lean on the side burner shelf.
CAUTION: Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion.

Lighting

Open lid.
Check for obstructions of airflow to the burners. Spiders, insects and webs can clog the burner/venturi tube. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire.
Control knob must be in the “ OFF” position (Figure 3).
