Installing Cooking Components
Important: Before cooking on your grill the first time,
wash 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 HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes to burn
off excess grease or food residue.
1. Install heat diffusers above burners. Holes in rear
corners of diffusers attach onto pegs in the back
edge of firebox. Ensure that firebox heat shield is
inserted securely into slots between adjacent
burners. If grill was shipped with shield taped in
place, remove tape before using grill.
2. Evenly space cooking grids on the ledge above
heat diffusers. (Fig.14)
3. Insert the legs of the warming rack into the holes
in the tops of the grill bowl side panels. (Fig.14)
4. Insert the side burner grease tray as shown.

Connecting LP gas tank to LP grill
1.Open right door, unlock tank tray lock slip.(Fig. 16).
Pull out tank tray, place foot ring of 20 Ib tank into
the hole in tray. Make sure the tank valve is on OFF
position. Use the tank bolt to secure the tank in a
fixed position.(Fig. 17)
2. Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper
external mating threads to fit the hose and regulator
assembly provided.
3. Make sure all burner valves are in 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 regulator and hose assembly to
tank valve hand tighten quick coupling nut
clockwise to a full stop. (Fig.18) Do not use a
wrench to tighten because it could damage the
quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous
condition.
6. Open tank valve fully (counterclockwise).
Use a
soapy water solution to check all connections for
leaks before attempting to light your grill. If a leak is
found, turn tank valve off and do not use your grill
until the leak is repaired.
CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, gas
must be turned off at the supply tank.
