OPERATING YOUR GRILL

Connecting gas cylinder:

This grill is designed to operate with a (DOT 39 Cylinder) one pound 7-3/8” High disposable / 16.4

oz. propane gas cylinder. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL ANY PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS! The

LP-gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the

specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) CFR49 or the

National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the

Transportation of Dangerous Goods. Only cylinders marked “propane” may be used. The gas

cylinder should not be dropped or handled roughly! If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder

must be disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is

disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach

of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Your cylinder

must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F! Before connection, be sure that

there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve, or in the head

of the burner and burner ports. Lubricate the threads of the regulator valve with petroleum jelly,

insert the gas cylinder into the regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly. Disconnect the propane

cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of

combustion air and ventilation air to the grill.

Duration:

One pound (1 cylinder) of propane gas has slightly more than 21,000 BTU’s of heat energy. Your

gas grill burns gas at a rate of 10,000 BTU/hr. This gas grill will cook for approximately 2 hours

with the regulator valve set on “high.”

TO CHECK FOR LEAKS:

Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.

-Make sure control knob is off.

-Spoon several drops of solution at the cylinder to regulator valve connection.

-Inspect the solution at the connection, looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the

connection is secure. If bubbles appear, you have a leak and must retest in following

steps.

-Turn control knob to the Lock Off position.

-Disconnect cylinder and reconnect, making sure the connection is secure.

-Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.

Check for leaks. Make sure the regulator valve is securely fastened to the burner and the cylinder.

USE ONLY THE REGULATOR PROVIDED!

If a replacement is necessary, please call our customer service center. The

use of unauthorized parts can create an unsafe conditions and environment

nest within and clog the burner / venturi tube at the orifice. A

clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.

Clean burner holes with a heavy-duty pipe clean

er. Make sure

control knob is in the “lock off” position. Place a lighted match

up through the hole in the bottom of the unit.

Turn the regulator

valve to its “high” setting. After lighting, please observe the

burner flame, make sure all burner ports are lighted -

a blue /

yellow flame of 1-2 inches from the

burner rod should appear

(refer to drawing). If burner does not light in 5

seconds, turn the

gas regulator to its “off” position and wait 5 minutes for gas to

clear before trying again. If burner flame

goes out during

operation, immediately turn the gas “off” and

open lid to let the

gas clear for about 5 minutes. Attempt to re-

light. Before

cooking on this grill for the first time, operate the grill for about

15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas t

urned on “high.”

This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odor from

the painted finish. Clean your grill after each use, DO NOT use

abrasive or flammable cleaners, as it will damage the parts of

this product and may start a fire. Clean in warm soapy water.
