Installing
Cooking
Components
Important:
Before cooking on your grill the first
time, wash the Cooking Grids and Cooking Rack
with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Season with cooking oil regularly. After cooking is
completed,
turn grill to the HIGH setting for about
five minutes to burn off excess grease or food
residue.
1. Evenly space the Cooking Grids on the ledge
above the Charcoal Tray.
2. Place the Secondary
Cooking Rack into the
slots on the upper left and upper right of the
Grill Bowl Side Panels. See Figure
11.
Connecting
A Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas)
Tank To Your Grill
1. Hang your filled gas tank on the top of the
Tank Hook. The ring foot of the gas tank will
rest on the Tank Holder. See Figure
12.
Make sure the LP gas tank valve is in the
full OFF position. (Turn clockwise to close.)
2. Check the tank valve to insure it has proper
external
mating threads to fit the hose &
regulator assembly provided. (Type 1 connec-
tion per ANSI Z21.58b-2002)
3. Make sure all Burner Valves are in the OFF
position.
4. 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.
5. When connecting
the regulator
assembly to
the tank valve, hand tighten nut clockwise
to
a full stop. DO NOT use a wrench to tighten
because it could damage the Quick Coupling
Nut and result in a hazardous
condition.
See Figure
13.
6. Open the tank valve fully (counter clockwise).
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 14. If a leak is found, turn the tank
valve off and do not use your grill until the
leak is repaired.
Disconnecting
A Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas)
Tank From Your Grill
1. Turn the Burner Valves and LP gas tank valve
to the full OFF position. (Turn clockwise to
close.)
2. Detach the hose and regulator assembly from
the LP gas tank valve by turning the Quick
Coupling Nut counterclockwise.
