Operating Instructions
Checking for Leaks
Burner Connections
- Make sure the regulator/control knob is securely fastened to the burner. Note: The brass nut should be 14 to 12 turn past tight. The regulator will rotate 360^ even when the brass nut is tightened. If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner and regulator/ control knob (Figure 5).
WARNING: Failure to inspect this connection or follow these instructions could cause a fire or an explosion which can cause death, serious bodily injury or damage to property.
- If the burner and regulator/control knob do not fit properly or if you have any questions, please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Tank/Gas Line Connection
- Make 2-3 oz. of leak detection solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
- Make sure regulator/control knob is in the OFF position (Figure 2).
- Apply the leak detection check solution on all "X" locations (Figure 5).
a. If any bubbles appear, remove the LP gas tank and reconnect, making sure the connection is secure.
b. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, remove the LP gas tank per "Disconnecting LP Gas Tank" section, and contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
c. If no bubbles appear after one minute, turn regulator/control knob to the "OFF" position, wipe away solution and proceed.
First Use
- Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.

CHARCOAL: Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue. If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.
WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT attempt to extinguish with water.
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and be dangerous.
Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If a grease fire occurs, close the lid AND turn regulator/control knob to "Off," until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur. If excessive flare-ups occur, do NOT pour water onto the flames.
Minimize Flare-ups:
- Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
- Cook high fat content meats on (LOW) setting or indirectly.
- Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into a grease receptacle.

- LP GAS: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the fuel supply disconnected.
CHARCOAL: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the ashes properly disposed of. - Do NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
- LP GAS: Do NOT enlarge valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners.
Notices
