FOR YOUR SAFETY

Read These Safety Instructions

Grill Installation Codes

The installation must conform with local codes or

in the absence of local codes, with either the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,

or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code.

Correct LP Gas Tank Use

LP gas grill models are designed for use with

a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas)

tank, not included with grill box. Never connect

your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds

this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches

in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maxi-

mum size LP gas tank to use. You must use

an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed

Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature

prevents the tank from being overfilled which can

cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, Regulator

and/or grill.

Combustion by products produced when using

this product contain chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive harm.

Failure to comply with these instructions could

result in a fire or explosion that could cause

serious bodily injury, death, or property

damage.

Your grill will get very hot. Never lean over the

cooking area while using your grill. Do not touch

cooking surfaces, grill housing, grill lid or any other

grill parts while the grill is in operation, or until

the grill has cooled after use.

Failure to comply with these instructions may

result in serious bodily injury.

(a) Do not store a spare LPG-gas cylinder

under or near this appliance.

(b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full

and

followed exactly, a fire causing death or

serious injury may occur.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

An LP gas tank not connected for use

shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or

any other appliance.

WARNING

• Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to

your gas grill. The gas Regulator assembly

supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have

an outlet pressure of 11" water column (W.C.)

for connection to an LP gas tank.

• Only use the Regulator and Hose Assembly

supplied with your gas grill. Replacement

Regulators and Hose Assemblies must be

those specified by manufacturer.

• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable propane

gas dealer and visually inspected and

re-qualified at each filling.

• Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full.

Have your propane gas dealer check the release

valve after every filling to ensure that it remains

free of defects.

• Always keep LP gas tanks in upright position.

• Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.

• An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must

NOT be stored on bottom shelf inside cabinet or in

the vicinity of this or any other gas grill.

• Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.

• Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you

store your gas grill in the garage or other indoor

location, always disconnect the LP gas tank

first, store it safely outside.

• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a

well-ventilated area and out of the reach of

children. Disconnected LP gas tanks must not

be stored in a building, garage or any other

enclosed area.

• When your gas grill is not in use the gas

must be turned off at the LP gas tank.

Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill

Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,

breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is to

be used outdoors only, at least 24 inches from the back

and side of any combustible surface. Your gas grill

should not be placed under any surface that will burn.

Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air around the

gas grill housing.

This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in

or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

The LP gas tank has a Shut Off Valve, terminating

in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is

compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device.

The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief

device that has a direct communication with the

vapor space of the tank.

The tank supply system must be arranged for

vapor withdrawal.

The LP gas tank used must have a collar

to protect the tank valve.

• The Regulator and Hose assembly must be

inspected before each use of the grill. If there

is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose

is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill

being used again.

• Keep the gas Regulator Hose away from hot

grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid

unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect

hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks,

excessive wear or other damage. If the Hose

appears damaged do not use the gas grill, call

our Customer Service Dept. for a replacement,

at 1-800-667-7313.

• Never light your gas grill with the Lid closed

or before checking to insure the Burner Tubes

are fully seated over the Gas Valve Orifices.

• Never allow children to operate your grill. Do

not allow children to play near your grill.

Failure to comply with these instructions

could result in a fire or explosion that could

cause serious bodily injury, death, or prop-

erty damage.

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas

indicates a serious problem with your gas grill

or the LP gas tank. 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.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the

Regulator and Hose Assembly can create a

humming sound. A low volume of sound is

perfectly normal and will not interfere with opera-

tion of the grill. If humming sound 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 tank is connected to

your grill. For help call the Grill Information

Center.

Customer Service Dept., 8:00am-5:00pm

EST, Monday through Friday at:

1-800-667-7313

• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.

• Put out any flame with a Class B fire

extinguisher.

• Open Grill Lid.

• Get away from the LP gas tank.

• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

• If odor continues or you have a fire you cannot

extinguish, call your fire department. Donot call

near the LP gas tank because your telephone is

an electrical device and could create a spark

resulting in fire and/or explosion.

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see

CAUTION at left) clean the Burner Tubes and

Burners before fully assembling your grill. Re-

move the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of

each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.

Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the

Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to Figure 1 and

perform one of these three cleaning methods:

Before Using Your Grill

Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger

works well) into a small hook as shown

below. Run the hook through the Burner

Tube and inside the Burner several times to

remove any debris.

Use a Burner Cleaning Brush, or a bottle

brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush

through the Burner Tube and inside the

Burner several times, removing any debris.

Use an air hose to force air through each

Burner Tube. The forced air should pass

debris or obstructions through the Burner

and out the ports.

Assembly Instructions For Your Safety

During unpacking, assembly and construction

stages always wear work gloves and eye

protection.As you unpack this gas grill from

shipping box, use the parts list to ensure all

necessary parts are included. Inspect all parts

for damage as you proceed. Do not operate

your grill if it appears damage. If you have

questions during the assembly process, call

8:00am - 5:00pm EST, Monday through

Friday, 1-800-667-7313

Remove white PVC protective film from stain-

less steel surfaces before initial use.

CAUTION:

While it is possible for one person to unpack

this gas grill, obtain assistance from another

person when handing the large and heavy grill

head.

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasion-

ally spin webs or make nests in the grill burner

tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs

can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could

result in a fire in and around the Burner Tubes.

This type of fire is known as a "FLASHBACK"

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 "FLASHBACK", it is the most

common cause.

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK", 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.

CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK

Tools Required for Assembly

The location of the Burner Tube with respect

to the Orifice is vital for safe operation. Check

to ensure the Orifice is inside the Burner Tube

before using your gas grill. See Figure 2. If the

orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the

Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.

•

If the gap is wider than 3/16" use a pair of long

nose pliers and gently squeeze the Gas Collector

Box until the gap is correct.

Return the Gas Collector Box to its original

horizontal position, secure the Inside Nut and try

the Electrode Check again.

If no "clicking" sound is heard check the

following common causes. If you need

assistance call the Grill Information Center

at 1-800-667-7313

Ignitor AA battery not installed properly.

Electric wires may be loose. Remove the AA

battery, inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found

behind the Control Panel, and connect any loose

wires.

•

Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the Inside Nut

just until the Gas Collector Box can be maneuvered

and turned upward.

The gap between the Spark Electrode Tip and

Spark receiver should be approximately 3/16".

Before placing the cooking components into your

grill, ensure that the Spark Electrode Tip is properly

positioned within each Gas Collector Box (a stain-

less mechanism found at the front between each

set of Burners). The easiest way to ensure this is

to perform this Electrode Check:

Be sure all Control Knobs are set to "OFF"

and open the Grill Lid.

Have an assistant stand behind to the right of

the grill and look down at each Gas Collector

Box. NEVER put your face inside Grill Head.

Press the Ignitor Cap. You should hear a

"clicking" sound and your assistant should see

a small blue spark within each Gas Collector

Box. If a spark is present the Electrode Tips

are properly positioned.

4. If no spark is seen, the Spark Gap, as shown

below, needs to be adjusted as follows:

Important: Before cooking on your grill the first

time, wash the Cooking Grids with warm, soapy

water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Season with

cooking oil regularly. After cooking is completed,

turn grill to HIGH setting for about five minutes to

burn off excess grease or food residue.

Installing Cooking Components

Place the Steel Flame Tamers on the lower

ledge above Burners.

Evenly space the Cooking Grids on the ledge

above the Flame Tamers.

Place the Secondary Cooking Rack into the

slots on the upper left and upper right of Grill

Bowl Panels.

Turn the Burner Valves and LP gas tank valve

to the full OFF position. (Turn clockwise to

close.)

Detach the hose and regulator assembly from

the LP gas tank valve by turning the Quick

Coupling Nut counterclockwise.

CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, the

gas must be turned off at the supply tank.

Open the front Doors of cabinet. Pull out the

Tank Pull-Out Tray. Place a 20 lb tank with

foot ring into the hole in the tray. Make sure

the tank valve is in the OFF positon. (Turn

clockwise to close.) Align the tank so the

Tank Valve faces the rear right corner of

cabinet. Use provided Wing Bolt to secure

gas tank. See

1ST

Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper

external mating threads to fit the hose &

regulator assembly provided. (Type 1 connec-

tion per ANSI Z21.58b-2002)

Be sure all Burner Valves are in the OFF

position.

Inspect the valve connection port and regulator

assembly. Look for damage or debris. Remove

any debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never

use damaged or plugged equipment.

When connecting the regulator assembly to

the tank valve, hand tighten nut clockwise to

a full stop. See DO NOT use a

wrench to tighten because it could damage

the Quick Coupling Nut and result in a

hazardous condition.

Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise).

Use a soapy water solution to check all

connections for leaks before attempting to light

your grill. See "Checking for LP Gas Leaks"

on page 19. If a leak is found, turn the tank

valve off and do not use your grill until the

leak is repaired.

2ND

Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first

use, at the beginning of each season, or every

time your LP gas tank is changed, you must

check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:

Checking For LP Gas Leaks

Make a soap solution by mixing one part

liquid detergent and one part water.

Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF

position, then turn the gas ON at source.

Apply the soap solution to all gas connec-

tions. If bubbles appear in the soap solution

the connections are not properly sealed.

Check each fitting and tighten or repair as

necessary.

If you have a gas leak that cannot be re-

paired by tightening, turn off the gas at the

source, disconnect fuel line from your grill and

call 1-800-667-7313 or your gas supplier for

repair assistance.

Grill Information Center:

8:00am - 5:00pm EST, Monday through

Friday 1-800-667-7313

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 proce-

dure should be done every time a new LP

gas tank is connected to your grill. For help

call the Grill Information Center.

Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.

Extinguish any open flame such as candle,

cigarette, lighter, etc., that could cause gas

to ignite.

Open the Grill Lid.

Get away from the LP gas tank.

Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

If odor continues or you have a fire you

cannot extinguish, call your fire depart-

ment. Do not call near the LP gas tank

because your telephone is an electrical

device and could create a spark resulting

in fire and/or explosion.
