Read the following instructions carefully and be sure your barbecue is properly assembled, installed

and maintained. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious bodily injury and/or property

damage. If you have any questions concerning assembly or operation, consult your dealer or LP gas

company.

• When used, always place the appliance and gas bottle on at level ground. Grill can be used with

20lb gas cylinder. Grill will perform better if propane or LPG mixtures are used. Butane can be used,

but because of the rate of the appliance the cylinder will tend to freeze and supply gas at reduced

pressures, a󰀨ecting grill performance.

• DO NOT move the appliance during use.

• DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas ttings while barbecue is in use.

• DO NOT use gas bottle if the bottle and/or valve are damaged, rusty, or dented as this may be

hazardous. Contact your supplier to have it checked.
