- Tighten the regulator to the cylinder valve.
- Ensure the cylinder is not left exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
- Leak test all joints prior to operating the grill. See “Leak Test”.
Built-in Enclosure
- The design of the enclosure should allow for the gas cylinder to be connected, disconnected, and the connections inspected and tested outside of it. The connections that could possibly be disturbed when installing the cylinder in the enclosure can be leak tested inside.
- The cylinder must be isolated from the grill enclosure, and protected from radiation, flames, hot drippings, and other foreign or hazardous materials.
- Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation and combustion air.
- Keep the cylinder enclosure ventilation openings clear from debris around all sides of the enclosure.
- A door on the enclosure to access the cylinder is acceptable if it is non-locking and can be opened without using tools.
- Ensure there are at least two unobstructed ventilation openings on the exposed exterior side of enclosure, one within 5 inches (12.7 cm) of the top of the enclosure, and another within 1 inch (2.54 cm) of the cylinder openings’ bottom surface.
- The opening must have a free area depending on the cylinder size:

Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
Stainless Steel Grids
Operation
- Stainless steel cooking grids can be cleaned by preheating the grill and using a wire brush to remove residue.
- Stainless steel grids will permanently discolor from regular use because of high temperatures when grilling.
Infrared Side Burner
- Do not clean the ceramic tile with a wire brush.
- Do not use water or other liquids to clean the ceramic tile. An immediate change in temperature will cause cracking
Drip Pan
- Clean frequently to avoid grease build-up – approximately every 4-5 uses.
Control Panel
- ONLY use warm soapy water.
- Text is printed directly on the control panel and will gradually rub off if abrasive or stainless steel cleaners are used.
- Proper cleaning of the control panel will ensure the text remains dark and legible.
WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and when any component of
the gas train is replaced, or when the smell of gas is present.
WARNING! Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Sparks or flames
will cause a fire, explosion, damage to property, serious physical injury, or
death.
WARNING! Never grill food directly on the flame side burner. It is
designed for use with pots and pans only.
WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning
your grill.
WARNING! It is very important the valve/orifice enters the burner tube
when reinstalling the burner after cleaning and before lighting your grill, or
a fire or explosion could occur.
