OPERATING THE LP GAS GRILL
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Never use charcoal in your LP gas grill. Do not use 
aerosols or store flammable liquids or materials near 
this gas grill. 
· Keep regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
· Check the LP gas grill for gas leaks and Burner 
obstructions before each use.
· To prevent an explosion from gas build-up,always 
open the hood before lighting the LP gas grill. 
· Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water 
or other liquids. Have a BC fire extinguisher nearby.
Do not douse or spray the grill or cooking grid with 
water when hot. Burns from splattered grease or the 
water could occur.
· If your LP gas grill catches on fire:
- If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely 
reach the control knob , then turn it to the off 
position.
- If the fire involves one of the hoses, and you can 
safely reach the LP cylinder, disconnect the cylinder.
- If the fire involves the cylinder, leave it alone,  
evacuate the area and call the fire department.
- If there is any type of fire that threatens either 
personal safety or endangers property, call the fire 
department.
· Do not use the grill without Grease Container in place.  
Check the Grease Container for grease buildup. Empty
excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the pan. 
· If you notice grease or other hot material dripping 
from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn 
off the control knob immediately. After the grill has 
cooled, determine the cause and correct it.  After 
cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly, 
perform a leak test before continuing use. (See 
Performing a Leak Test.)
· Do not operate an LP gas grill if you have knowledge  
of or suspect a gas leak.
· Do not wear loose clothing (example:  hanging shirt 
tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a LP gas grill 
while in use or hot.  
· Do not lean your body over the LP gas grill when  
lighting it or while it is in use or hot.
· Do not touch hot surfaces.  Use heat resistant gloves, 
long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times 
since the grill will become very hot.  Open the hood 
carefully when cooking to avoid the hot air and steam  
trapped inside.
· Do not allow children to operate or play near an LP gas 
grill. Keep animals and bystanders out of the grill area. 
Do not leave grill unattended.
· Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot. Do not 
drag or put side pressure on the legs. 
· Do not allow cords of any electric appliance or
rotisserie near heated surfaces of the LP gas grill; 
place electric cords away from walkways to avoid a 
tripping hazard.
· Always disconnect LP gas cylinder when not in use.  
Allow grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.  
· Remove grill covers and store at least 36 inches from 
the LP gas grill while in use. Grill covers are made of 
a flammable material. Allow the grill to completely 
cool before putting the cover back on the grill.

· Always make sure the Grease Container is empty and is 
properly installed in the Bowl before each cooking. 
· Do not leave any utensils on a hot Cooking Grid or 
cookware. Do not place hot utensils on the plastic side 
burner cover or table, they will melt. 
1) Make sure the Cooking Grid is clean. (See Care and 
Maintenance.) Place Cooking Grid on the bowl and rotate the
raised lip that is halfway around the grid to the rear of the
grill. (FIG. 17A) The Cooking Grid will seat only one way
when the two long ribs under the grid fall into the two notches
in the bowl at the 3 and 6 o’clock positions. (FIG. 17B) 
2) Preheat the Grill with the hood closed, on “High” for about
3-8 minutes. Do not pre-heat over 8 minutes or the Cooking
Grid coating may be destroyed. During the first use, there
may be a slight odor from the curing oil on paint or parts. 
3) After preheating, carefully place food on the Cooking Grid.
Cook until done, turning food at least once halfway through
the cooking time for most foods. Adjust flame as needed with
the Control Knob.
4) When food is cooked, remove food with long-handled heat
resistant, plastic or wooden utensils so as not to scratch the
non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks or knives as
these can damage the coating on the Cooking Grid.
