• The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the following requirements:

• Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12" (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) capacity maximum.

• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods, Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for marking.

• LP cylinder valve must have:

• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve. OPD Hand Wheel

• LP cylinder must be upright for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage. LP cylinder in upright position for vapor withdrawal LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air. LP Cylinder Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.

• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by temperature.

• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.

• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.

• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP dealers. LP Cylinder Exchange

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the "LP Cylinder" section of this manual.

• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.

• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE connecting to grill.

• Place safety cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of safety cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.5 WARNING If “growing” bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP cylinder. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department! 2.Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.

Do not use a POL transport plug (plastic part with external threads)! It will defeat the safety feature of the valve. 6.Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools. NOTE: If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not use this regulator! DANGER

• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death. LP Cylinder Leak Test For your safety

• Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is exchanged or refilled.

• Do not smoke during leak test.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.

• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure below.

• Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train components can result. 5.Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve.

Turning Grill Off HIGH LOW Burner Flame Check Food Safety Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps: Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry. Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods. Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures. Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly. For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHOTLINE (888-674-6854) In Washington, DC Or E-mail: Or visit the USDA website at www.fsis.usda.gov [e-mail] How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.

• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your appliance.

• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be cooked to 160° F.

• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

If your grill is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturis and burners. Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback” problems by building nests and laying eggs in the grill’s venturi or burner, obstructing the flow of gas. The back- up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your grill and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when ever the grill has been idle for an extended period of time. Your burner might be different

• Light burner. Looking through the matchl ight hole rear of the appliance, you should see the flame height as shown below. Turn control knob from position 5 to 1 . The Flame height should decrease. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one easiest for you. (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run hook through burner tube several times. (B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube several times. VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve opening. See illustration, shown F. Ensure Cooking Grate ridges run front to back (fig.A) Cleaning the Burner Assembly Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting appliance.

1. Turn gas OFF at control knob and LP cylinder and
