CONNECTING HOSE AND REGULATOR:
1. Attach or detach regulator to the gas cylinder only when cylinder is at rest.
2. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.
3. Check that the grill's burner control knobs are in the "OFF" positions.
4. Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear, or
deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your grill.
5. Remove the protective plastic cap from the cylinder valve.
6. Check that the hose does not contain kinks, does not contact sharp edges, and does not contact
surfaces that may become hot during use.

centered properly.
