• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable propane
gas dealer and visually inspected and re-qualified at
each filling.
• Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or
near this appliance.
• Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full. If this
information is not followed exactly a fire causing death
or serious injury may occur.
• Always keep LP gas tanks in an upright position.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
• Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.
• Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you store your
gas grill in the garage or other indoor location, always
disconnect the LP gas tank first and store it safely
outside.
Always keep the LP cylinder at
90" (upright) orientation to
provide vapor withdraw.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area and out of reach of children.
Disconnected LP gas tanks must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• When your gas grill is not in use the gas must be
turned off at the LP gas tank.
• The pressure regulator and hose assembly must be
inspected before each use of the grill. If there is
excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must
be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
• Keep the gas pressure regulator hose away from hot
grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary
twisting of hose. Visually inspect the hose prior to each
use for cuts, cracks, excessive wear or other damage.
If the hose appears damaged do not use the gas grill.
Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME for a replacement hose.
• Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before
checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully seated
over the gas valve orifices.
• Never allow children to operate your grill.

z_ WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas
indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the
LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps
listed below could result in a fire or explosion that
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property
damage.
• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
• Turn the control knobs to OFF position.
• Put out any flame with a proper fire extinguisher.
• Open Grill Lid.
• Get away from the LP gas tank.
• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
• If odor continues or you have a fire you can not
extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call near
the LP gas tank because your telephone is a form of
electrical device and could create a spark resulting in
fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the pressure regulator
and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low volume
of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of
the grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive you may need to
purge air from the gas line or reset the pressure regulator excess
gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every
time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help with
this procedure refer to page 7, Item 4 of"lf Grill Still Fails To
Light", or call the Grill Information Center at 1-800-4-MY-HOME.
