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.

Connecting
A Liquid Propane
Gas (LP gas)

The lower section of the gas tank will lean
on the Tank Guide. See Fig. 15. Make sure
the LP gas tank valve is in the full OFF
position. (Turn clockwise

external mating threads to fit the hose &
regulator assembly provided. (Type 1 connec-
tion per ANSI Z21.58a-1998)
3. Make sure all burner valves are in the OFF
position.
4. Inspect the valve connection
port and regula-
tor assembly.
Look for any damage
or debris.
Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage.
Never attempt to use damaged
or plugged
equipment.
5. When connecting the hose and 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.

Use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks before attempting to
light yoSr grill. See "Checking
for LP Gas
