• WARNING! Never attempt to repair or refill a 1# LP gas cylinder and its
valve. These could cause a hazard or explosion. Replace gas cylinder with
a spare.
• When transporting an LP gas cylinder, keep it secured in an upright position with the
protective cap on.
CONNECTING/ DISCONNECTING LP GAS CYLINDER TO GRILL
• Always check for gas leaks when you disconnect and reconnect the regulator to the
LP gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, over winter).
• Check tubes that lead into the burner for any blockage from insects, spiders, or food
grease before using.
• Check regulator tube for bends or crimping.
• Check tube nozzle and threaded collar for damage.
REGULATOR ASSEMBLY
WARNING!
Using a regulator assembly that has not been supplied by the manufacturer of
this LP gas grill, could result in serious bodily injury or property loss.
The LP gas cylinder shall be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP gas cylinders of the Department of Transportation (DOT).
• Use only regulator assembly that has been furnished with this LP gas grill. If the
regulator assembly is not working properly and you need a replacement, contact the
manufacturer at (1-800-231-9786).
• Inspect the regulator assembly before each use. If it is bent, cut or damaged, do not
use the LP gas grill. Contact the manufacturer, as the regulator assembly must be
replaced with an assembly specified by the manufacturer prior to the further use of the
LP gas grill.
PREPARATION BEFORE COOKING
• Wash the cooking surface with a mixture of hot water and dish detergent. Do not use
an abrasive scrubber. This product is Teflon coated and harsh cleansers will ruin the
finish.
• Empty the grease tray after each cooking session so excessive grease does not
accumulate. Wash same as cooking surface.
• Make sure grease tray is in place before each grilling session. (FIG 14)
Fig. 14
WARNING!
• Empty the grease tray after each cooking session so excessive grease does
not accumulate. Failure to remove grease may result in a grease fire in the
tray or bowl.
• Never light the LP gas grill without the grease tray in place.

regulator assembly must be replaced with an assembly specified by the manufacturer
prior to the further use of the LP gas grill.
