22. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates

some byproducts which are on the list of substances known by the state of California to

cause cancer, reproductive harm, or other birth defects. To reduce exposure to these

substances, always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you

provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

IMPORTANT: We urge you to read this manual carefully and follow the

recommendations enclosed. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and

trouble-free operation of your new gas grill. We also advise you retain this manual for

future reference.

WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using only the gas specified by

the manufacturer on the rating plate. Do not attempt to operate your grill on other

gases. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will

void your warranty.

WARNING: Make certain your LP (propane) tank is filled by a reputable propane dealer.

An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition

combined with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.)

can cause LP gas to be released by the pressure relief valve on the tank since the

temperature increase causes the propane to expand. LP gas released from the tank is

flammable and can be explosive. Refer to your owner’s manual for more information

concerning filling your LP tank.

Fig. 23

The propane tank valve connection supplied with this grill incorporates four important safe

guards: Hand Assembly, Hand Disassembly, Excess Flow Control and Temperature-Activated

Shut-Off.

a. Hand Assembly:

External

Thread

WARNING: The Type I connective coupling (see Fig. 23) supplied with your grill must

not be replaced with a different type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will

result in loss of warranty, gas leakage, fire and severe bodily harm.

Thermally Sensitive

Nut Propane

Regulator

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

2. When connecting the regulator/burner valve assembly to the tank valve, turn the large

plastic nut clockwise until it stops.

3. Gas will not flow unless the plastic nut is completely connected.

4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.

b. Hand Disassembly:

1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.

2. Turn the large plastic nut counterclockwise until it is disassembled.

3. HAND LOOSEN ONLY.

c. Excess Flow Control

The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess flow device designed to supply the

grill with sufficient gas flow under normal conditions yet control excess gas flow.

Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow device providing a low flame and low

temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner valve is open,

the surge of pressure will cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the

pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5 seconds.

To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:

1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.

2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.

d. Temperature-Activated Shut-Off

The large plastic nut on the regulator assembly is designed in coordination with a check valve

in the tank valve to shut off the flow of gas when exposed to temperatures between

240-300℉. In the event of a fire or hose break, one of the safeguards will function to control

or stop the flow of gas from the propane tank. Never attempt to use damaged equipment.

IMPORTANT: Before using a fresh tank of gas, please check leakage around the

connections according to section “Checking Gas Leaks” on page 23 and make sure

there is no leakage or vapor accumulation in the cabinet. Make sure all openings

around side walls are not blocked.

IMPORTANT: 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.

Gas Requirements

The grill is set and tested at the factory for use with LP gas only. However, this grill is

natural gas convertible and can be used at the same rating. The rating plate is located on the

inside panel of the left door.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LP Gas

If your grill is for LP gas, the regulator supplied is set for 11 in. water column (WC) and is for

use with LP gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 20 lb. LP

gas tank.

Convert to Natural Gas

Your grill is natural gas convertible. NG kit sold separately (Item #0050772).

Please refer to page 37 to convert your grill to natural gas.

After the grill is converted to natural gas, the working pressure for natural gas is 7 in. water

column (WC). Gas pressure is affected by gas line size and the length of gas line run from

house. Follow the recommendations in the chart below.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Preheating Grill

It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After

lighting, close the hood and preheat the grill on “HIGH” for 15 minutes. This preheating will

ensure that the cooking grid and grate are hot enough for proper grilling.

CAUTION: Do not cover the grids during the preheating period.

WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against possible grease fires

getting out of control. Grease fires can be severe and cause grill damage, property

damage and bodily harm.

Open or closed hood for Grilling

Cooking with the lid open or closed is a matter of personal preference. Cooking with the lid

closed is recommended if you enjoy cooking at maximum “searing” temperatures. This

method will also produce more “flare up,” speed the cooking procedure and will give you a

more robust, smoky, outdoor flavor. If you prefer cooking slower with less flare up, we suggest

the lid-open method.

We recommend always cooking with the lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or colder

climate. Your grill has been designed and constructed to give you maximum flexibility

and cooking performance. Be creative. Try different cooking methods on your grill to

determine which suits your needs best. There is no right or wrong way to cook, just different

cooking styles. Get creative and enjoy!

Checking Gas Leaks

Before operating your grill, after refueling, check carefully to be certain that all connections

are tight and there are no gas leaks.

1. Make 2-3 ounces of leak solution by mixing liquid dishwashing soap with water.

2. Make certain all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.

3. Brush small amounts of the leak solution on all the fittings and turn the gas on.

4. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Proceed to step 5.

5. Turn the gas off and tighten all connections.

6. Go back to step 1 to retest the fittings.

7. If bubbles continue to appear, turn the gas off. Contact customer service.

▲WARNING

Never use a match or open flame for leak detection. Use of an open flame

could result in a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing any gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be

sealed with approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber's tape.

Visually check the burner flames prior to each

use. The flames should appear blue. If they do

not, refer to the section on cleaning burner tubes

and ports.

Before cooking on your grill the first time, wash

cooking grids and cooking rack with warm, soapy

water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Season with

cooking oil regularly. After cooking is completed,

turn grill to HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes to

burn off excess grease or food residue.

1 in. (2.5 cm)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Do not attempt to turn off the LP tank valve without first covering your hand

with a protective mitt or allowing the grill to cool down. Failure to follow this warning

could result in a severe burn.

LP Gas Safety Requirements

For LP gas grills, the LP gas supply tank to be used must be: Constructed and marked in

accordance with the Specifications for LP Gas Tanks 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 Provided with a listed Overfill Prevention Device (OPD).

The tank should be 12 in. in diameter and 18-1/2 in. tall and be equipped with a

Type-I fitting.

The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.

The tank used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

Do not operate the gas grill indoors or in any enclosed area. If the gas grill is not in use, the

gas must be turned off at the supply tank. If the grill is to be stored indoors, disconnect the

gas supply tank and store the tank in an upright position in a cool, well-ventilated outdoor

location away from your grill or any other heat source.

When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open flame. Use a soapy water solution and

apply it to the pipe joints and fittings with a brush and check for bubbles. Check flexible hoses

for cuts and wear that may affect the safe operation of the grill. Only the factory supplied hose

and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose assemblies specified

by manufacturer.

LP tank should be securely locked by the patented safety tank ring at all times. An unlocked

tank may fall or tilt which can cause injury or property damage. It is recommended to lock the

tank all the time.

After positioning the tank in the opening, lower the safety

tank ring to lock the tank. Use only 20 lb. gas tank.

WARNING

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the outdoor cooking gas

appliance must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must

be those specified by the outdoor cooking gas appliance manufacturer.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Handling the Liquid Propane Tank Safely

Remember to handle your portable liquid propane tank carefully when you take it to your

dealer for a refill. Avoid dropping it or bumping it against sharp objects. Liquid propane tanks

are sturdily constructed, but a series of hard jolts could damage the container.

When transporting the tank to your local propane gas dealer, make sure the valve is closed

tightly and the protective cover is in place. Position the tank securely in an upright position so

it will not roll around your vehicle.

If you plan to make stops for shopping or errands, have your liquid propane tank filled at the

last stop before going home. Again, make certain the refilled tank is secure and in an upright

position. When you return home, remove the refilled tank from your vehicle. Never leave a

portable liquid propane tank inside a vehicle that may become overheated by the sun.

Your local liquid propane gas dealer will gladly offer you additional safety tips.

Storing the Liquid Propane Tank Safely

Do not store portable liquid propane tanks (whether full or empty) inside your home, the living

area of an R.V., a garage, basement or workshop. It is unlikely that liquid propane will leak from

the tanks. If it should leak, the fuel could be exposed to sparks from automobiles, power tools or

other appliances. When storing or transporting your LP tank, it must remain in an upright position.

Never lay your LP tank down on its side whether it is full or empty. Never store a spare tank

under or near your grill.

CAUTION: Never transport or move your grill or grill tank without first closing the

manual valve on your liquid propane gas tank.

The best place to store a liquid propane tank is in a shady or protected spot outdoors, behind

your home or garage, or on a screened porch but where it is out of reach of children. Liquid

propane will not evaporate. It is in a strong, closed container. It will not lose any of its

clean-burning heat content, even if left outside year-round.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: When not connected to your grill, the LP gas tank must be stored in an

upright position in a cool, shady, well-ventilated, outdoor location away from your grill

or any other heat source. Failure to follow this warning could lead to tank valve

damage, fire hazard and personal injury.

Refilling a Propane Tank

It is extremely important that your LP tank be filled properly when you take it to be refilled. Be

sure to use a reputable LP dealer and observe how the tank is filled and at what capacity. An

overfilled LP tank can be dangerous.

The proper way to fill a tank is by weight. The empty tank should be placed on a scale. The

scale weights should be readjusted to a weight that would allow up to 80% of the total weight.

The filling operation must end once the tank is filled to 80% of its total capacity. If the tank is

not completely empty, the scale readjustment must be changed to consider the propane (LP)

already in the tank.

WARNING: An LP (propane) tank is overfilled if it contains more than 80% of its total

capacity of propane (LP).

An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP (propane) tank can be dangerous. If a tank is overfilled

and the weather causes the warming of the LP tank, (a hot day, tank left in sun or stored

indoors) internal pressure is created due to expansion of the propane which in turn may

cause the LP gas to be released through the pressure relief valve on the tank. The pressure

relief valve is a safety device required on 20 lb. propane tanks by the Department of

Transportation or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 Cylinders, Spheres and

Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable, to prevent a

catastrophic tank failure due to excessive pressure. LP gas released from the tank is

flammable and can be explosive.

IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be

sealed with approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber's tape. After making

connections, check all joints for leaks using a soapy water solution and a brush.

WARNING: Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Use of an open flame could

result in a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

Stainless Steel

This gas grill is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is non-rusting in certain conditions;

therefore, a cover and stainless steel cleaner should be used when the grill is not in use.

Wipe with stainless steel cleaner on all non-cooking surfaces once a month.

Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot.

After initial grilling, certain areas of the grill (i.e. the vents, hood and burner box) may discolor.

This is a normal discoloration caused by the intense heat from the burners.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These

can usually be removed with warm soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. As a last resort a

mild abrasive pad could be used with a stainless cleaner. Use light pressure on the pad and

always scrub in the direction of the grain. There are many products that will help clean and protect

on all non-cooking surfaces.

Do not use steel wool to clean the grill.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on the polished surface. Use caution when cleaning. Metal

polish or a mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back luster and highlights. Naval Jelly

can be used to remove rust stains that occur from outside sources. Follow the Naval Jelly

instructions carefully.

To touch up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface lightly with 160

dry grit emery sand paper in the direction of the grain.

Drip Tray

The drip tray collects excessive grease runoff and fallen food particles.

Allow the tray and its contents to cool before cleaning. Loosen the back grill head cover (J) and

slide out the drip tray and then wipe it clean.

Make sure the tray is installed before using the grill.

It is highly recommended that you check the tray regularly to avoid any possibility of a grease

fire; however, most of the drippings will vaporize back into the cooked item giving you an

outdoor grilled flavor.

Helpful Care and Maintenance Hints

Before grilling, pre-heat grill for 15 minutes on "HIGH" with hood down. To avoid uncontrolled

flare-ups or grease fires, grill meats with hood open. Close hood if meats are thick or weather

is cold, or if you are using a rotisserie or indirect cooking.

Always protect your hand with a pot mitten or cooking glove when coming into contact with a

hot surface.

Hood up when grilling meats, especially chicken. Hood down when indirect or rotisserie

cooking.

NEVER leave your grill unattended while cooking.

After use, close hood, turn burners to “HIGH” for 15 min. for self-cleaning grease burn off.

Care and Maintenance Time Table Chart

Gauging amount of LPG fuel

To gauge the amount of propane fuel in your gas tank, the grill must be in operation. Place

your hand at the top of the tank and slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the

touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of propane gas in your tank; if 3/4 empty,

refill.

Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your grill. Use of such

material will void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
