WARNING
Do not attempt to repair or alter the hose/valve/regulator for any “assumed” defect. Any modification to this assembly will void your warranty and create the risk of a gas leak and fire. Use only authorized replacement parts supplied by manufacturer.

DANGER

• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the appliance or in an enclosed area.

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.

• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.

• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.

LP Cylinder Removal, Transport and Storage

• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Turn coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only – do not use tools to disconnect. Loosen cylinder screw beneath bottom shelf, then lift LP cylinder up and out of cart. Install safety cap onto LP cylinder 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 cylinder in LP Cylinder Valve storage or being transported must have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP cylinder in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP cylinder inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.
• Do not store an LP cylinder in an area where children play.

LP Cylinder

• The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the following requirements:

• Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12″ (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18″ (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) capacity maximum.

• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods. Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for marking.

• LP cylinder valve must have:

• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overfill Protection OPD Hand Wheel Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

• LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP Cylinder Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP dealers.

LP Cylinder Exchange

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the “LP Cylinder” section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE connecting to grill.

LP Cylinder Leak Test
For your safety

• Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is exchanged or refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows  in figure below.
• Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train components can result.

WARNING
If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP cylinder. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder

1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill. (Refer to assembly section.)
2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve. Do not use a POL transport plug (plastic part with external threads)!It will defeat the safety feature of the valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand-tighten the coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line with LP cylinder valve so as not to cross-thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder 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.

NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!

DANGER

• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

• Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
• The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each use. Do not remove grease 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 grease or other hot material dripping from grill onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once. Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.
• 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!

Sideburner Match Lighting

Burner Flame Check

Remove cooking grates and flame tamers. Light burners, rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW You should see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH. Perform burner flame check on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to “Sudden drop or low flame” in the Troubleshooting Section.

Turning Grill Off

• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.

Ignitor Check

• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor button. “Click” should be heard and spark seen each time between collector box or burner and electrode. See “Troubleshooting” if no click or spark.

Valve Check

• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF  position. To check  valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to  OFF  position. Valves should turn smoothly.

Hose Check

• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the venturi’s.

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.

2. Remove cooking grates and flame tamers.

3. Remove hitch pins and carryover tubes from rear of burners.

4. Remove Hitch pin to disengage burner from bracket on firebox.

5. Detach electrode from burner with a flat screw driver by pressing the electrode clamp out of the burner through the notch on the clamp. Electrode should remain in firebox.

6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.

   • Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.
   • Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube several times.
   • Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

8. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

9. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
   VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See illustrations at right.

10. Attach electrode to burner.

11. Carefully replace burners.

12. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

13. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace flame tamers and cooking grates.
