OPERATING AND MAINTAINING YOUR GAS GRILL GAS, CYLINDER, HOSE AND REGULATOR INFORMATION This LP gas grill was designed to use propane gas. Propane cylinders will supply gas all year round, even on cold winter days. LP HOSE AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY ·...
· Never connect or disconnect LP gas cylinder or fittings while grill is in use or is hot. · When the LP gas cylinder is connected, the grill must be kept outside in a well-ventilated space. Turn off all of the grill control knobs and the LP cylinder valve when grill is not in use.
LeakTesting · Always perform a leak test before each use. · Leak test must be performed in a well ventilated area. · Never perform a leak test on a grill while in use or hot. · If you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedures below, do not use the LP gas grill.
Preparation Before Cooking · Wash the porcelain coated Cooking Grids (37) with a mixture of hot water and baking soda. · Empty the foil pan and grease tray after each cooking session so excessive grease does not accumulate.

COOKING MODE: LP GAS WITH WOOD CHUNKS FOR FLAVOR How to light your LP Gas grill when planning to cook using primarily LP Gas and supplementing with wood chunks for flavor. 1 . Soak desired quantity of wood chunks in water for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Manual Lighting of the Grill · Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from gas build-up. · Always inspect the gas hose and regulator sembly before each use. If the hose is cut, dam- aged, or showing signs of excessive abrasion or wear, do not use the LP gas grill.
Check Your Flame Your burners have been preset by the manufacturer for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and LP gas mixture. (See diagram below) The flame should be checked before the initial cooking ses- sion and periodically throughout the grilling season, espe- cially after storing the grill over a long period of time.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE (Continued) Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and espe- cially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill and its components are cool before cleaning. In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
Flavor Activators™ It is not necessary to remove and wash the Flavor Activators in order to keep them clean. Burning off the residue after each cooking should be sufficient. Heavy grease deposits can be cleaned with a baking soda and water solution. Bottom Panel/ Grease Tray ·...

IMPORTANT NOTICE The gas grill is setup to operate with a LP Gas Cylinder equipped with an OPD (Overfilling Prevention Device). This is a secondary device to prevent the overfilling of your LP Gas cylinder. The proper methods for the filling of your LP Gas cylinder are by weight or volume, as described in NFPA 58.
All other parts are warranted for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. Meco Corporation DOES NOT warrant in any way the propane cylinder (see label on cylinder for cylin- der manufacturer’s warranty.) The LP cylinder manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workman- ship and performance of the cylinder.
