Take-It and Grill-It Positions

The GP324SS Portable Propane Grill is compact enough to transport to any

grilling location. Take-It from storage to patio, to a picnic in the park, or off

on a camping trip. The portable Propane Grill easily transforms from the

Take-It to the Grill-It position.

Storage and Transport

In this position the Grill is compact

enough for space saving storage

and easy carrying. Both Grill Legs

fold neatly and securely around the

Grill Body and the Regulator

Assembly can be stored within the

Grill.

Preparation For Grilling

Place the Grill on a flat, stable sur-

face. Pull the Legs out on each

side and swing them down until

locked in place.

Attach the Regulator and the

propane cylinder. See Attaching

Propane Gas Cylinder and Before

First Use for details. Make sure the

Flame Diffuser is in place, the

Grilling Rack is in place above the

Flame Diffuser and the propane

cylinder is properly attached and

positioned, as shown.

The Grill is ready for

use.

Before First Use

1. Remove the grill and any packaging materials from the shipping carton.

2. Place the Grill on a flat, level surface.

3. Pull out the front Leg in a sideways motion then swing it down while lifting

up on the Grill. The Leg will 'snap' into place when properly positioned.

Repeat this procedure with the rear Leg. Raise the Lid and remove the

Warming Rack, the Grilling Rack and the Flame Diffuser.

4. Wash these parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the

Grill Body and Lid with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

5. Place the Flame Diffuser into the Grill Body above the Burner Assembly,

making sure it properly rests upon the two rear tabs and the center tab at

the front

6. Place the Grilling Rack above the Flame Diffuser, making sure it properly

rests upon the four triangular supports in each corner of the Grill Body.

7. Note that the Warming Rack has two support bars and requires some minor

assembly. The support bar located at the front of the Warming Rack has

extension legs that insert into the pivot points located in the Grill Body. The

support bar at the back of the Warming Rack has extensions that insert into

the pivot points located in the Lid. Position the Warming Rack above the

Grilling Rack and insert the two extension legs into their pivot points in the

Grill Body. Raise the Warming Rack and insert the two extensions at the

back of the Warming Rack into their pivot points in the Lid. When the Lid is

closed, the Warming Rack pivots down toward the Grilling Rack. As the Lid

opens, the Warming Rack pivots up, allowing free access to food on the

Grilling Rack.

onto the Venturi Tube.

2. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the

LOCK/OFF Position. Push the one pound

propane cylinder slightly into the valve

while turning counterclockwise until a

snug fit is obtained. Do not turn the

attaching to the Regulator Assembly.

Testing for Leaks

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

•Test for leaks outdoors in a well ventilat-

ed area.

•Test all gas connections for leaks before

using your propane grill.

•Test for leaks every time you connect the

gas supply.

•Do not smoke while checking for leaks.

•DANGER - Do not use an open flame to

check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the

area while you check for leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion

which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

1. Mix a couple tablespoons of liquid detergent with an equal amount of

water. Use mild soap and water. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD CLEANING

AGENTS.

2. Be sure that the Temperature Control Knob is in the LOCK/OFF position.

3. Use a clean paint brush to apply soapy solution onto connection

between gas cylinder and Regulator orifice, and watch for bubbles.

4. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Retighten connec-

tion and repeat steps (2) and (3).

NOTE: If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas cylinder and check for dam-

aged threads, dirt and debris at the connection and gas cylinder. Also check

to see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at the connection and gas cylin-

der openings. Remove any obstruction that may be found and repeat leak

test.
