Choosing a Safe Location for a Gas Barbecue Grill.

FUEL REGULATOR AND HOSE

The fuel regulator supplied is equipped with a

Type 1 coupling nut. Do not attempt to connect

to any other L.P cylinder not equipped with a

mating Type 1 cylinder valve. This grill is not to

be used with any other cylinder connection

device.

The fuel regulator and hose assembly with the

Type 1 fitting supplied must be used with the

appliance. Do not use a hose and regulator

assembly other than the one supplied with the

grill or a manufacturer’s replacement fuel pres-

sure regulator assembly.

The Type 1 connection system has the follow-

ing features:

1. The system will not allow gas to flow until a

positive connection has been made.

2. The system has a thermal element that will

shut off the flow of gas between 240° F and

300° F.

3. The system has a flow-limiting device which

when activated, will limit the flow of gas to 10

cubic feet per hour.

4. The pressure regulator and hose assembly

provided is factory set at an outlet pressure of

11 inches water column (.4 lb. per sq. inch).

WARNING: Any attempt to adjust the regu-

lator is dangerous and could create a situa-

tion causing personal injury or property

damage. Consult your L.P. gas dealer if you

think the regulator is not working properly.

FUEL-CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS

Any L.P. gas-supply cylinder used with this grill

must be approximately 12 inches diameter and

18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity

must be 20 pounds of propane. Full-cylinder

weight should be approximately 38 pounds (43.7

lbs. nominal water capacity).

The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve

terminating in a Type 1 L.P gas-cylinder-valve

outlet. A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type

1 cylinder valve has a positive seating connec-

tion that does not permit gas flow until a positive

seal has been obtained.

Portable L. P. Gas Barbecue Grills

WARNING: Do not use natural gas in an

appliance designed for L.P. gas. Use only liquid

propane (L.P.) gas in an appliance designed for

L.P. gas.

L.P. Gas

Liquid Propane (abbreviated L.P.) gas is

stored under high pressure inside a cylinder and

vaporizes when released. It is important that

there are no leaky connections on the grill’s fuel

supply system.

The L.P. FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM

An L.P. gas grill requires a fuel delivery sys-

tem made up of an L.P gas supply cylinder, a

fuel regulator with hose and a gas-control valve.

DANGER: Do not insert any foreign objects

into the valve outlet. You may damage the

back check. A damaged back check can

cause a leak, which could result in explo-

sion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

The cylinder must be arranged for vapor with-

drawal. It must also include a Collar to protect

the cylinder valve. A safety-reIief device having

direct communication with the vapor space of

cylinder must be provided. This will expel high-

pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled or over-

heated.

All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance

shall be constructed and marked in accordance

with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of

the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or

the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-

B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for

Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and

Commission, as applicable; and shall be provid-

ed with a listed overfilling-prevention device.

Read labels on the L.P. gas-supply cylinder.

The cylinder provided is shipped empty for

safety. Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to

fill or repair your L.P. gas-supply cylinder.

Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cyl-

inder to be filled. Caution the gas dealer not to

overfill the fuel cylinder.

After filling, have the gas dealer check for

leaks and to check that the relief valve remains

free to function.

Have the gas dealer weigh cylinder after filling

to ensure that the cylinder is not overfilled.

DANGER:

a.) Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder

under or near this appliance.

b.) Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80

percent full.

c.) If the information in “(a.)” and “(b.)” is

not followed exactly, a fire causing death or

serious injury may occur.

Portable L. P. Gas Barbecue Grills

TRANSPORTING A FULL CYLINDER

WARNING! Handle a full cylinder with care.

Gas is under high pressure.

You should transport only one cylinder at a

time. Transport the cylinder in an upright and

secure manner with control valve turned off and

the POL plug in place.

Do not transport cylinder in the passenger

compartment of a vehicle.

Do not leave cylinder in direct sunlight or in a

high-heat area such as a closed car trunk.

High-heat areas could cause the relief valve to

vent gas.

Do not store cylinder in a building, garage or

any other enclosed area. Store outdoors in a

well ventilated area, away from people and out

of the reach of children.

Use a cylinder cap on cylinder-valve outlet

during transport and when the cylinder is not

connected to grill. Keep cylinder valve closed

when not in use.

Do not store spare cylinders near grill.

Filling a Type 1 Cylinder Valve

Example A: shows a CGA-510 POL fitting.

Example B: shows using a Type 1 POL fitting.

When using a cylinder exchange, be sure the

exchanged cylinder is a Type 1 cylinder; a 510

POL cylinder will not fit a Type 1 regulator.

FILLING AND PURGING TYPE 1 L.P. GAS CYLINDERS

DANGER! Purging and filling of L.P. Gas

cylinders must be performed by personnel

who have been thoroughly trained in accept-

ed L.P. gas industry procedures. Failure to

follow this instruction may result in explo-

sion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

IMPORTANT: Purge new cylinders before fill-

ing. This tank is easily filled with a standard

CGA 510 POL filling connection.

The L.P. gas cylinder has a Type 1 cylinder

valve with a back-check module in its outlet that

will not permit gas to flow until an evacuation

device is installed. To purge the L.P. gas cylin-

der, the back-check module must be opened

with an evacuation device.

PURGING AND EVACUATION DEVICES FOR L.P. GAS

CYLINDER WITH TYPE 1 CYLINDER VALVES

A. Hose-end valve with a bleed port: Purging

can be accomplished using a hose-end valve

containing a bleed port, which also allows for

evacuation without the use of an adapter.

B. Hose-end valve without a bleed port: When

a hose end valve does not have a bleed port, a

separate device must be used for evacuation.

C. Purging using a Type 1 connection: L.P.

gas cylinder evacuation can be accomplished

during each purging by using a Type 1 connec-

tion. The Type 1 valve outlet has an 1 5/16"

external ACME right-hand thread that will

accept this connection.

CAUTION: After purging or filling an L.P. gas

cylinder, do not insert a POL plug into the valve

outlet. Insertion of this plug will prevent the

back-check from closing. Use ONLY the provid-

ed cap and strap attached to the outlet. Close

the cylinder valve knob before returning the

cylinder to the customer.

For proper purging procedures in the U.S.A.

refer to: Safety Bulletin NPGA #133, “Purging

L.P. Gas Cylinders,” and Safety Bulletin NPGA

#130, “Recommended Procedures for Filling

Cylinders.”

DANGER: Do not fill an L.P. gas cylinder

beyond 80% full. If this information is not

followed exactly, a fire causing serious

injury or death may occur.

DANGER: EXPLOSIVE AND FLAMMABLE!

If the appliance is for connection to

natural gas, the gas connections should

be made by a qualified installer or a

licensed plumber. The gas-supply line

must not be installed by the consumer.

The valve-orifices and fuel supply hose sys-

tem necessary for use with natural gas is differ-

ent than the system required for L.P. gas.

Modification to the burner valve/orifices allow

the use of natural gas. An L.P. cylinder is not

needed.

WARNING: Do not use liquid propane

(L.P.) gas in an appliance designed for nat-

ural gas. Use only natural gas in an appli-

ance designed for natural gas.

INSTALLATION FOR NATURAL GAS

The maximum inlet supply pressure is 11.0"

w.c. for propane gas and 7.0" w.c. for natural

gas.

The specified supply pressure is 11.0" w.c. for

propane gas and 7.0" wc. for natural gas.

The piping system should be installed by a

qualified service technician in accordance with

the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI

Z223.1) in the U.S.A., including:

1. The appliance and its individual shut-off

valve must be disconnected from the gas-sup-

ply piping system during any pressure testing

of that system at test pressures in excess of

1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

2. The appliance must be isolated from the

gas-supply piping system by closing its individ-

ual manual shut-off valve during any pressure

testing of the gas supply piping system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5

kPa).

Aquick-connect coupling sleeve with 3/8” female

end is provided. Install the connector socket at

the pipe end, after the shut-off valve. This must

be installed where the grill will be in use.

It is important to observe the safety guidelines

for choosing a safe location. The gas supply must

be shut off prior to installation of the quick con-

nector socket. Use only a matching factory

authorized quick-connect plug with the quick-con-

nect socket.

Natural-gas units are equipped with a 12-foot-

long quick-connect fuel hose in place of the short-

er hose/regulator attached to the burner valve.

Prior to inserting, turn on gas supply and test all

connections with an ammonia-free soap and

water solution. Apply this solution to the stem of

the shut-off valve and opening of the socket to

detect leaks. (See Leak Testing Natural Gas

Connections later in this section).

gas to the appliance will be restricted if the

plug is not connected properly.

6. Test for gas leaks using an ammonia-free

soap and water solution.

TO DISCONNECT THE FUEL SUPPLY

1. Pull connector sleeve back and pull plug

out of socket. This will automatically shut off

gas to the appliance.

2. Close the shut-off valve and install the dust

caps on the socket and plug. Always turn off

the fuel supply at the shut-off valve when the

grill is not in use.

LEAK TEST CONNECTIONS

Test all the fuel supply connections using a

an ammonia-free soap and water solution

equally mixed. Never use fire to test for leaks.

Turn on the gas shut-off valve

1. Coat all connections of the fuel supply sys-

tem, especially at the quick-connect.

2. Watch for bubbles to indicate a leak.

3. If there is a leak, shut off the gas supply

and re-connect the hose to the socket.

Re-test for leaks.

Do not use the grill if a leak is detected that

cannot be corrected in this manner or if the

hose and connections become damaged.

Replace damaged components with only fac-

tory authorized parts.

Do not strain or kink the fuel-supply hose.

See that the hose is kept clear of surfaces that

become hot during use.

DANGER

To prevent fire or explosion hazard:

· Do not smoke while performing a leak

test.

·Do not permit any sources of ignition in

the area when testing for leaks.

· Perform leak tests outdoors only.

·Never perform a leak test near a fire or

How to Check the Fuel-Supply System for

Gas Leaks

1. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent

or liquid soap and water.

2. Turn off the burner-control knobs.

3. Turn the top knob of the fuel-supply cylinder

counterclockwise one rotation to open.

4. Apply the soap solution to all connections of

fuel-supply assembly.

If no soap bubbles appear, the grill is fine for

use.

If bubbles form at the connections, there is a

leak. In case of a leak, try tightening the joint. If

necessary, replace the faulty part with a

replacement part recommended by the manu-

facturer.

5. Turn off the knob on fuel-supply cylinder.

6. Turn on the burner-control knobs for a mo-

ment to release pressure in hose, then turn the

control knobs back off.

7. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and

towel dry.

WARNING! Do not attempt to repair the

cylinder valve. If it becomes damaged, the

cylinder must be replaced.

If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the

gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the

cylinder from the grill. Call a gas appliance ser-

viceman or L.P. gas dealer. Do not use appli-

ance until the leak is fixed.

Leak Testing

Leak Testing the Fuel

Supply System

Arrows denotes primary areas

to check.

Perform a leak test each time the gas-supply

cylinder is connected to the regulator. Leak test

any time a part of the gas system is replaced.

Perform a leak test at least once each year

whether the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been

disconnected or not.

Have a dealer check the cylinder for deteriora-

tion after 10 years, according to DOT regula-

tions. Immediately replace cylinder if any is

found.

IMPORTANT! Inspect the gas-supply hose

regularly. If there are cuts, excessive abrasion,

or wear, replace the hose prior to operating the

appliance. Use only the hose replacement spec-

ified in the parts list for your grill.

IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM

The Igniter System consists of an igniter unit,

a gas-collector box, two ceramic electrodes,

and lead wires. Gas is collected in the metal

collector box located at the burner. When the

igniter knob is turned, an electric spark is creat-

ed at the ceramic electrodes. The gas is then

ignited by the spark.

To test: Watch the electrode tip(s) inside the

gas collector while activating the igniter. To

avoid a possible shock, do not touch the burner

or metal parts on igniter system while perform-

ing igniter test. A visible spark should jump

from the electrode. The spark gap is set when

the electrode is installed.

If there isn’t a spark, check the lead wires and

connections. The igniter wires should be kept

away from the grill bottom. Also check that the

ceramic electrodes in the collector box are not

broken.

Sometimes dirt and rust at and around the

electrode(s) can prevent an igniter spark. Clean

them with a degreaser or warm soapy water,

and dry. Remove rust from electrode tip(s) and

metal surfaces by lightly sanding with an emery

cloth or fine-grain sandpaper.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

(Read all the steps before beginning.)

STEP 1. Check the burner venturi tubes for

blockage from an insect nest (see, “CLEANING

THE BURNER VENTURI T U B E S ” ) .

STEP 2. Ensure that both of the burner-control

knobs are in the OFF position.

STEP 3. OPEN GRILL LID

WARNING: Attempting to light the grill with the

lid down could cause an explosion.

STEP 4. Go behind the grill and turn on the

fuel supply valve. One counter-clockwise turn is

generally enough to open the valve.

CAUTION: Do not stand with head or arms over

the grill.

STEP 5. To light using the igniter:

Push in and turn the right burner-control

knob counter-clockwise to the high setting.

STEP 6.

Immediately turn the igniter control knob

CLOCKWISE until you hear 4 or 5 clicks.

The burner should light.

Note: Turning the knob in the wrong direction

may loosen it. If this happens, simply press the

knob on firmly and turn it CLOCKWISE.

STEP 7.

If the burner fails to light properly, turn the burn-

er-control knob off. Also turn off the L.P. cylinder

knob. Wait five minutes before attempting to light

the burner again. This will allow time for released

gas to disperse.

HINT: If the burner does not light after trying

again, turn off burner-control knob, the L.P. cylin-

der knob and try match lighting the grill once the

gas has cleared.

Lighting Instructions

Operating the Control Knobs

Gas control knobs PRESS IN and rotate counter-

clockwise.

ROTATE THE IGNITER KNOB CLOCKWISE.

MATCH LIGHTING

IMPORTANT! The match-lighting hole is found

under the front right corner of the grill bottom.

When match lighting the grill, use the gas-control

knob on your RIGHT-HAND side (closest to the

match-lighting hole).

Repeat steps 1 to 4 of “Lighting Instructions.”

STEP 5. To match light: push down and turn

the RIGHT burner control knob counter-clock-

wise to the high setting.

STEP 6.

IMMEDIATELY strike a long wooden match and

position the burning match through match-light-

ing hole in the grill bottom. Extend the flame

near a burner port in the bottom edge of the

burner. The burner should light.

To light the other side of the burner, press in

and turn the opposite control knob. The flame

will track around the burner. Allow grill to preheat

with the grill lid closed for five minutes before

cooking.

CAUTION: Do not touch any hot grill parts.

The outside of the grill bottom becomes very

hot during use. It may be necessary to use pro-

tective gloves.

HOW TO SHUT OFF THE GRILL

STEP 1. Turn the burner-control knob(s) off.

The burner flame will go out.

STEP 2. Turn off the top L.P. cylinder valve by

turning the knob in a clockwise direction until it

stops.

IMPORTANT: Always have the gas shut off at

the L.P. cylinder valve when the grill is not in

use. The L.P. cylinder has a leak detection fea-

ture which will restrict the amount of gas flow to

the burner if the tank shut-off valve has not

been turned off prior to the next use.

Locating the Match Lighting Hole

The match lighting hole is located beneath the

lower right corner of the grill-bottom casting.

Lighting Instructions

CONTROL SETTINGS

The high flame setting is for quick searing of

meat. Sear foods, then finish cooking on a lower

setting.

Amedium setting works best for cooking

steaks, pork chops, and hamburgers.

The lowest setting works well for all roasts and

rotisserie foods. Even thick steaks, when seared

on a high setting first, will have a better texture

and be more juicy cooked on low.

DUAL BURNER COOKING SYSTEM

The grill’s burner may be operated to cook on

either side or both sides at once. This allows for

various styles of cooking.

1. Use a direct heat source when browning

meat or cooking hot dogs and hamburgers.

Check the food often.

2. Cook large-size foods (such as roasts,

turkey, or duck) on a low, direct heat. Place food

and water in foil pan with corrugated bottom,

adding water as needed.

3. If doing skillet or stir-fry cooking, limit the

amount of oil and direct heat used.

4. Cook foods that burn easily over an indirect

heat. Light one side of the burner and place the

food on the other side for cooking. The food will

cook slower but should be more tender. This

method of cooking also reduces grease flare-up.

Add a small pan of water to help keep meat

moist, replace the water as needed.

5. Casseroles can be cooked in oven-proof or

foil pans using indirect heat.

6. Cook two foods at once using different set-

tings.

7. To add smoked flavor, try adding wood chips

in apple, mesquite, and hickory flavors.

TO BREAK IN A NEW GRILL

Before using it for the first time; operate the

grill with lid closed on a low setting for about 15

minutes. This will help burn away oil and the

smell of new paint. After the oil has burned

away, check the burner flame.

BURNER’S FLAME

Keep the grill lid closed and the grids in place.

Inspect the burner’s flame by carefully looking

below and through the air-supply openings in

the grill bottom.

Agood flame should be blue with some yellow

tip coming from the burner holes. Some yellow

tips on flames up to 1" in length are acceptable

as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.

If flames are excessively yellow and irregular,

the oil residue may not be completely burned

off, or the venturi may not be properly posi-

tioned over the orifice(s). Allow grill to cool

before repositioning venturi over valve.

After a grill has been in use for a while it may

begin to have a more yellow flame. A build up of

food deposits, fats, or cooking seasonings can

cause yellowing of flames. Try cleaning the

burner to remove built-up residue. Check for

clogged burner holes or blocked venturi tubes.

Regular use of your grill will actually help keep

it operating more smoothly. It is not unusual for

similar units to heat a little differently.

Long detachable power-supply cords or extension

cords can also be used with care. The marked elec-

trical rating of the cord set or extension cord should

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the ap-

pliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the

extension cord should be a grounding-type 3 wire

cord. Use outdoor extension cords with a surface

marked with suffix letters “W-A” and with a tag stating

“Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.”

Keep the connection to an extension cord away

from water and off the ground. Arrange the cord so

that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop

where it can be pulled or tripped over.

Do not clean any electrical product with a water

spray or the like. Store electrical products indoors out

of reach of children when not in use.
