PROPANE GAS WARNINGS

DANGER
If you smell gas:

• Shut off gas to the appliance.
• Extinguish any open flame.
• Open lid.
• If odor continues, keep away from the appliance and immediately call your gas supplier or your fire department.

WARNING

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• An LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

DANGER

• Never operate this appliance unattended.
• Never operate this appliance within 25 ft (7.5 m) of any flammable liquid. Heated liquids remain at scalding temperatures long after the cooking process. Never touch the cooking appliance until liquids have cooled to 115°F (45°C) or less.
• If a fire should occur, keep away from the appliance and immediately call your fire department. Do not attempt to extinguish a n oil or grease fire with water.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

1. GRILL INSTALLATION CODES: The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the national fuel gas code, ANS Z 223.1/NFPA 54, Natural gas and propane installation code, CSA B149.1, or propane storage and handling code, B149.2. LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lbs (9 kg) liquid propane gas cylinder, to the dimensions of 18-1/4” (46.35 cm) high, 12-1/4”(31 cm) diameter., not included with the grill. Never connect your gas grill to an
   LP gas cylinder that exceeds this capacity.

2. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly filled or overfilled LP gas cylinder can be dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP gas cylinder (a hot summer day, gas cylinder left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the cylinder is flammable and can be explosive. Keep the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.

3. Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately by a liquid propane supplier.
   If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder, do not attempt to light appliance. Extinguish any open flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.

4. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot. When grill is not in use, ensure regulator knob is turned to OFF and disconnect the gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is attached. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.

5. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosure area.

6. The liquefied petroleum (LP) cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission. The LP gas tank must have a shutoff valve, terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct connection with the vapor space of the tank. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.

7. You must use an OPD gas tank that offers an Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents the tank from being overfilled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, pressure regulator, and/or grill.

8. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance. Keep the burner tube and portholes clean and free from debris. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.

9. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, overwinter). Check all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and brush. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

10. Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior to being used if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear. Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been supplied with this gas grill. Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer. The replacement hose assembly shall be specified by the manufacturer.
    Do not use lava rock, wood chunks, charcoal, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting. Keep all such substances and liquidS WELL away from appliances when in use.

11. Operate this appliance using propane gas only, which is also specified on the rating label on the unit. Do not attempt to operate your grill on other gases. Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas. Failure to follow this warning could lead to fire, bodily harm, and will void your warranty.

12. The location of the burner tube with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the orifice is inside the burner tube before using the gas grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause an explosion and/or fire.

DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even able to use, in your area.

1. A minimum clearance of 914 mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 914 mm (36 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliances on combustible floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors, in an enclosed or unventilated area, inside homes, vehicles, tents, garages. This grill must not be placed under an overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
   Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF until the fire is out. Do not throw water on. Do not try to smother the fire. The use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on-site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.

2. This outdoor grill is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles or boats.

Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper, tent, car, boat or home. This appliance is not intended for and should never be used as a heater.

3. This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.

4. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Do not leave the appliance unattended. Keep young children and pets away while in use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since the grill will become very hot.

5. Never use the grill without the grease cup installed and hung under the firebox. Without the grease cup, hot grease and debris could leak downward and produce a fire hazard.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”)
Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid breathing toxic fumes from combustion or leaking gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this
colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:

• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
  Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

SAFETY LISTING
In accordance with the procedures and specifications listed in the ANS Z21.89-2017 / CSA 1.18-2017 / OUTDOOR COOKING SPECIALTY GAS APPLIANCE. Pit Boss® Grills cooking appliances have been independently tested and listed by CSA (an accredited testing laboratory) to CSA standards.

CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY

GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The grill is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inches) water column (WC) and is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas cylinder, to the dimensions of 18-1/4” (46.35 cm) high, 12-1/4”(31 cm) diameter. Contact your gas supplier for a special regulator for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used. The replacement hose assembly shall be specified by the manufacturer.

INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER

1. Before connecting, visually check the connection between the burner venturi pipe and orifice for each burner. Make sure the burner venturi pipe fits over the orifice. Note illustration A for proper installation. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice, contact Customer Care for assistance.
   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. Next, inspect the regulator and gas components. Check to ensure there is no debris caught in the head of the LP gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve, or in the head of the burner and burner ports.

3. Place gas cylinder onto the debossed circle of the bottom shelf. Rotating clockwise, use the gas cylinder bolt to hold the gas cylinder in position. Note illustration B. Make sure the gas cylinder valve is in the CLOSED position. It is important to ensure the gas cylinder is completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the gas cylinder is not installed properly.

4. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by turning the knobs clockwise to the “OFF” position.

5. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps. Check the gas cylinder to assure it has proper external male threads (type 1 connection per ANS Z21.81).

6. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the regulator valve. Turn the quick coupling nut clockwise until firm. Hand-tighten only. Note illustration B.

7. The gas cylinder is now installed.

WARNING: Shut off the gas cylinder if you smell gas. Attempt to re-install gas cylinder to ensure that tube is connected properly.

The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the national fuel gas code, ANS Z 223.1/
NFPA 54, Natural gas and propane installation code, CSA B149.1, or propane storage and handling code, B149.2.

1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
3.  If the information in 1) and 2) is not followed exactly a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
4. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
5. The LP gas cylinder used must have a collar to protect the gas cylinder valve.
6. Always keep the LP cylinder at 90 degrees (upright) orientation to provide vapor withdrawal.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with the operation of the grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill.

INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER FOR TABLE-TOP USE

Your grill can quickly and easily be removed from the cart for table-top use and easy transportation.

1. Before connecting, ensure there is no debris caught in the head of the LP gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve, or in the head of the burner and burner ports.

2. Place the grill on a non-combustible surface. Next, place a gas cylinder next to the grill on the right side, keeping a clearance of 30 cm / 12 inches between the grill and gas cylinder. Ensure the regulator hosing is clear of any obstructions and does not cause a tripping hazard. Make sure the gas cylinder valve is in the CLOSED position. It is important to ensure the gas cylinder is completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the gas cylinder is not properly level or on a stable surface.

3. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by turning the knobs clockwise to the “OFF” position.

4. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps. Check the gas cylinder to assure it has proper external male threads (type 1 connection per ANS Z21.81).

5. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the regulator valve. Turn the quick coupling nut clockwise until firm. Hand-tighten only.

6. Gas cylinder is now installed.

WARNING: Shut off the gas cylinder if you smell gas. Attempt to re-install gas cylinder to ensure that tube is connected properly.

PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING

A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas grill, perform a leak test on the connection between the regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak test should be performed a minimum of once a season, as well as:

• before lighting your grill for the first time,
• every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
• after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
• after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.

HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST

Supplies Required:
1 x Bowl (empty, clean)
1 x Paint Brush (clean)
Dish Washing Liquid Water Procedure:

1. Position the grill in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the grill is cool to the touch, and not in use. Verify that the regulator value is turned to the OFF position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
   IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby.

2.  Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dishwashing liquid in a bowl. The solution will make a bubble, as it will be concentrated.

3.  Use a paintbrush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for streams of bubbles coming from a defect or break in the seal.

NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten only. Repeat leak test after re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas grill if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Care for alternative measures of testing to ensure proper precaution.

DISCONNECTING A GAS CYLINDER
IMPORTANT: When changing or disconnecting a gas cylinder, care must be taken to keep away from any source of ignition.

1.  Ensure the control knob on the grill is completely closed by turning to the OFF position. Turn LP gas cylinder valve to the CLOSED position, and allow the regulator knob to pop out.
2. Turn the cylinder counter-clockwise (by hand) to disconnect from the regulator valve opening. Replace the protective caps on the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder for storage (if not empty).

WARNING: Do not transport grill with gas cylinder attached. The cylinder may loosen off the valve, and cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire, or severe bodily harm. Disconnect gas cylinder first before travel or storage. If storing the grill indoors, leave the gas cylinder outdoors.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GRILL ENVIRONMENT

1. WHERE TO SET UP THE GRILL
   With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time needed to perfect your meals. All Pit Boss® Grills units should keep a minimum clearance of 914 mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must not be placed under an overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible materials, or other flammable vapors and liquids.

2. COLD WEATHER COOKING
   As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and the heavenly aroma of grilled foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:
   • Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up uptight, and get it done!
   • To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
   • Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.

3. HOT WEATHER COOKING
   As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the hot months:
   • Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
   • Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat from overcooking and drying out.
   • You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.

FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Before using your grill for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off. Start the grill and operate for a minimum of 15 minutes on HIGH to burn off the unit. This will “heat clean” the internal components, dissipate odors and rid it of any foreign matter.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

1. Open lid during lighting.

2. Set all control knobs to the “OFF” position.

3. Open the cylinder/gas valve according to the operating instructions on the tank.

4. Push and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to “HIGH “.

5. If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, turn the valve to “OFF”, wait 5 minutes, and repeat lighting instructions. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all
   burner ports are lit and flame height matches the illustration shown.

6.  If the above points do not work, follow the Manual Lighting Procedure.

If the burner goes out during operation, turn the control knobs to the “OFF” position. Wait five minutes before attempting to relight to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.

IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your igniter fails after three of four attempts, check the following steps, or start your girl using the manual method.

1. Ensure the control knobs are turned to the OFF position. Allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.

2. After five minutes, check the following:
   • Visually confirm that the igniter is working by pushing the igniter button and looking at the igniter tip for a spark. If no spark, adjust the distance between the igniter (electrode) tip and burner to 4.5 mm (3/16 in).
   • Visually confirm that the burner tube and portholes are not obstructed. If blocked, follow Care & Maintenance instructions.

3. If the above points do not work, follow Troubleshooting instructions.

MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE

1. Open lid during lighting.

2. Set all control knobs to the “OFF” position.

3. Open the cylinder/gas valve according to the operating instructions on the tank.

4. Quickly and carefully, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod (included with the grill) to light the burner. Gain access to the burner through the cooking grids. Position lit match near side of the burner. Do not attempt to light another area of the burner. This can cause injury.
   NOTE: Do not use spirit, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.

5.  If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the burner control knob to “OFF”, wait 5 minutes, and repeat lighting instructions. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height matches the illustration shown previously. Replace the Cooking Grid back into position, and you are ready to enjoy your grill at your desired temperature!

NOTE : Each burner lights independently – repeat same steps for other burners.
WARNING : Never lean over the cooking area while lighting your gas grill. Keep your face and body a safe distance (at least 457 mm / 18 inches) from the cooking grid surface when lighting your grill by match.

6. If the above points do not work, see Troubleshooting.

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL

1. When finished cooking, turn LP gas cylinder valve to the CLOSED position, and allow the regulator knob to pop out. This safety feature locks the regulator knob to ensure that the gas is no longer flowing.

2. Turn control knobs to the OFF position.
   NOTE: A “poof” sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.

3. Disconnect LP gas cylinder by following the Disconnect LP Gas Tank instructions.
   WARNING : Allow the grill to cool completely, and remove the gas cylinder, before moving, travel, or for storage.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CHECKING THE GAS LEVEL
To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the gas cylinder and slowly move down the side until the cylinder feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your cylinder; if ¾ empty, replace with full gas cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of such material will void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
CLEANING FREQUENCY
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your grill:

1. BURNER COMPONENTS
   • Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on the burner tube or in the burner portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance. If storing the grill or before an extended period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap it with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
   • The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food deposits on the burner surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow.

2. GRILL INTERIOR
   • Remove any food or build-up from the cooking surface. The best practice is to do this while it is still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much-fallen debris on the cooking components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event, you experience a grease fire, carefully remove the food, turn the grill off. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.

3. GRILL EXTERIOR
   • Check your grease tray often, and clean out after each cool. Keep in mind the type of foods that are cooked. Failure to keep it clean could result in the build-up and a fat fire. This can be hazardous and may cause damage to the unit.
   • All screws and bolts should be checked on a regular basis. Tighten as needed.
   • Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed, with the gas cylinder removed (must be stored outdoors).

Whether a claim is made against Dansons based on the breach of this warranty or any other type of warranty expressed or implied by law, the manufacturer shall in no event be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or other damages of any nature whatsoever in excess of the original purchase of this product. All warranties by the manufacturer are set forth herein and no claim shall be made against the manufacturer on any warranty or representation.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations of implied warranties, so the limitations or exclusions set forth in this limited warranty may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
