Before Lighting Grill

Prior to turning on the gas, inspect the gas supply tubing or hose. Look
for evidence of abrasion, cuts, wear and tear, or other damage which
could require replacement prior to use. Make sure all burner control knobs
are off. Do not attempt to light the burners if the smell of gas is present.
Check the connection with a soap and water solution after attaching the
hose. Make sure there is gas in the tank and the tank is upright.
CAUTION
Briquette Trays Proper Installation
1
Place the tabs on rear of stainless steel
briquette trays into slots on rear panel.
Note: The flash tube must be accessible through the plates. If the flash tube is not
accessible, the trays are not properly installed.
Using Grill with Outdoor Approved Hoods
• Outdoor approved hood models should be installed in a covered yet non-
enclosed (well ventilated) area. Outdoor hoods aid greatly in smoke and odor
removal, but should not be expected to eliminate entirely. They should also
be protected from natural elements (such as rain) as much as possible.
• ALWAYS turn the outdoor hood to the "HIGH" position before lighting the
grill.
• Keep the grill canopy closed as much as possible when cooking so smoke is
exhausted out the back of the grill. This allows optimum performance of the
hood.
• During breezy conditions, the performance of the outdoor hood may be
compromised.
