Safety Precautions

WARNING

Keeping the ventilation opening(s) of the

cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.

From the firebox observe the flame burning

flame observation aperture steady state

WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas

indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or

the LP gas cylinder. Failure to immediately follow

the steps listed below could result in a fire or

explosion that could cause serious bodily injury,

death, or property damage.

• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

• Turn the control knobs to OFF position.

• Put out any flame with a proper fire

extinguisher.

• Open Grill Hood.

• Get away from the LP gas cylinder.

• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

• If odor continues or you have a fire you can not

extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call

near the LP gas cylinder because your telephone

is a form of electrical device and could create a

spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally

spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes

during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead

to gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in

and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as

“FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to

your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for

the user.

Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only

cause of “FLASH-BACK”, it is the most common

cause.

To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK”, you must

clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill,

and at least once a month in late summer or early fall

when spiders are most active. Also perform this burner

tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used

for an extended period of time.

See Cleaning Burner Tubes and Ports on page # 23.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator

and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A

low volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not

interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise

is loud and excessive you may need to purge air

from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas

flow device. This purging procedure should be done

every time a new LP gas cylinder is connected to

your grill. For help with this procedure refer to page

21, “If Grill Still Fails To Light”, or call the Customer

Service Helpline 8 AM to 4:30 Eastern Time at: 855-

256-2160

Visually check the burner flames prior to each

use. The flames should look like picture, if they

do not, refer to the cleaning burner tubes and

ports, see page 23 of this manual.

Requiring the grill can be connected to the gas

supply by means of a flexible hose connector

complying with the current Standard

for Elastomeric Composite Hose and Couplings

for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas,

CAN/CGA-8.1or with the Standard for

Thermoplastic Hose and Hose Couplings for

Conducting Propane and Natural Gas, CAN1-8.3

CAUTION: Beware of Flash-Back

Burner Flame Check

WARNING

Spiders and insects can nest inside the

burners of the grill and disrupt gas flow. This

very dangerous condition could cause a fire

behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the

grill and making it unsafe for operation.

Inspect the grill at least twice a year.
