· 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.

· Never smoke or have an open flame near the grill

during a leak test.

Supplies Needed for a Leak Test

Clean paint brush, water, and dishwashing liquid.

How to perform a leak test (See Step 13 of Assembly

Instructions for leak test diagrams.)

WARNING! Never use an open flame to test for gas

leaks.

1) Mix one cup of water with one cup of

dishwashing liquid.

2) Confirm that all control knobs on the control panel

are in the “off” position.

3) Remove control knobs and the three retaining

screws at the bottom of the control panel.

4) Remove front control panel cover.

5) Open the valve on LP gas cylinder (Turn the

handle on the LP gas cylinder counter-clockwise)

6) Check for leaks by brushing the soap solution on

all LP gas connections and fittings. (See STEP

13 of Assembly Instructions for diagram of the 7

locations) Make sure you generously brush the loca-

tions with the soap solution, completely surrounding

the connections and fittings.

7) If “growing” bubbles appear on any of the

connection points, then you have detected a gas

leak. Immediately close the LP cylinder valve by turn-

ing the handle clockwise.

A) If leak appears at either end of hose and regulator

assembly, retighten the connection at the leak,

but do not overtighten. (Note: Only hand tighten at

coupling nut) (See Step 12 of Assembly Instru

ctions). Repeat Leak Test.

B) If the leak is coming from the LP gas

cylinder, from the valves at the control knobs, or if

the leak cannot be stopped, do not use the grill.

Call Customer Service at 1-800-251-7558.

8) Always turn off LP cylinder valve after performing

a leak test. (Turn handle clockwise)

9) If your LP gas grill has been in storage or has

not been used for a period of time, the burners should

be
maintained. See Burner Maintenance in the Care

and

Maintenance section of this manual.

· Before proceeding, make certain that you

understand the Important Safeguards on pages 2

thru 4 of this manual.

· Before lighting the LP gas grill, you must open

the hood to prevent an explosion from gas build-up.

· If your LP

gas grill catches on fire:

- If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely

reach the control knobs on the control panel, then

turn them to the off position.

- If the fire involves one of the hoses, and you can

safely reach the LP cylinder valve, shut the valve

off.

- 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.

· If you notice grease or other hot material dripping

from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn

off the gas supply 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 Step

13 of Assembly Instructions)

· Do not operate an LP gas grill if you have knowledge

of or suspect a gas leak.

· Never allow children to operate or play near an LP gas

grill. Do not leave grill unattended.

· Always turn off the LP gas cylinder at the LP cylinder

valve when not in use. Allow grill to cool before

handling parts or cleaning.

· Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.

· Never 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 burns from the hot air

and steam trapped inside.

· Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging

shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a LP

gas grill while in use or hot.

· Never lean your body over the LP gas grill when

lighting it or while it is in use or hot.

This LP gas grill is not designed to be used with

more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid plate

(griddle). Full coverage of plates will cause

excessive heat and could damage the grill.
