DANGER
USE AND CARE
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. An overfilled
spare LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas
released from the safety relief valve.
• The safety relief valve on the LP tank could activate,
releasing gas and cause an intense fire with risk of
property damage, serious injury or death.
• NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in
enclosed areas.
• If you see, smell or hear escaping gas, immediately get
away from the LP tank/grill and call your fire
department.
• All spare LP tanks must have safety caps installed on
the LP tank outlet.
LP Tank Removal, Transport And Storage
• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn coupling
nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to
disconnect. Lift LP tank wire upward off of LP tank collar, then
lift LP tank up and off of support bracket. Install safety cap onto
LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.
Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious
personal injury and/or property damage.

• Do not store an LP tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport,
garage, porch, covered patio or other building. Never leave an
LP tank inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the
sun.
• Do not store an LP tank in an area where children play.
LP Tank
• The LP tank used with your grill must meet the following
requirements:
•
•
Use
only LP tanks equipped with this type of valve.
Use LP tanks only with these required measurements: 12"
(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.)
capacity maximum.
• LP tanks must be constructed and marked in accordance with
specifications for LP tank of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT). See LP tank collar for marking.
LP tank valve must have:
• Type 1 outlet compatible with
regulator or grill.
• Safety relief valve.
• UL listed Overfill Protection
Device (OPD). This OPD safety

•
NEVER
•

tank valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere.
This is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP tank, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone

dealers.
18 • 463843104
LP Tank Exchange
LP Tank Leak Test
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only
those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill,
test and certify their cylinders.
Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position
during use, transit or storage.
•
Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or
refilled.
Do not smoke during leak test.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames
or sparks.

Cleaning The Burners
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Lay burner
upside down on flat surface. Force a stream of water through
tubes. Make sure water comes out of all burner holes. Open
clogged holes with a thin wire.
and
examine holes. Due to normal wear and corrosion, some
holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are
found replace burner.
1.
2. Remove cooking grate.
3. Remove can from grease clip.
4. Remove screws holding burners to grill bottom.
5. Rotate burners approx. 45 degrees while lifting out of grill
bottom to disengage burner tube from valves.
6.
7. To remove air shield for cleaning, disconnect ignitor wire from
electrode wire beneath grill bottom. Wash air shield with
concentrated grill cleaner or use soap and water solution and
dry thoroughly. Return air shield to grill bottom and connect
ignitor wire to electrode wire.
8. If grill is to be stored, coat burners lightly with cooking oil.
Wrap in protective cover to keep insects out. If not storing grill,
tilt burners approx. 45 degrees and insert burner tubes into
holes in front of grill bottom to engage valves. Rotate burners
to flat position and attach to grill bottom with screws.
9. Before cooking again on grill, follow
.
Turn gas off at control knobs and LP tank.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must engage valves. See
illustration below for proper burner-to-valve engagement.
Shake out excess water
"Burner Flame Check"
CAUTION
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into
the burner tubes attached to the burners. The spiders spin
webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be
very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of
gas. Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning
of grilling season or after a period of one month not being
used.
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
Typical spider webs inside burner.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this
problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result
in a "flashback" (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still
light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the
burners.
Smell gas.
Burner(s) will not light.
A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
Follow the “
” instructions.
Clean burners often. Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out the
burner tubes. You may also force a stream of water from a
hose nozzle through burner tubes to clean them.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1.
2.
3.
4.
STOP!
Immediately turn off gas at LP tank!
SOLUTION:
Wait for grill to cool.
Cleaning The Burner Assembly
Storing Your Grill
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in well-
ventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP tank is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage follow
instructions before starting grill.
"Cleaning Burner
Assembly"
Repainting Your Grill
• After extended use and exposure to weather, paint on grill may
deteriorate or become spotted. Although this detracts from
grill's appearance, it will not impair its performance.
• To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and bottom with
wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding
allows new paint to adhere more easily. Wash grill lid and
bottom with soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not
use a grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar.
Refinish outside with heat-resistant paint. Do not paint inside
of grill.

Three Cooking Burners
Your grill offers maximum cooking flexibility because it has three
diamond-shaped burners, each with its own independent control
knob. For maximum direct cooking (food placed directly over the
burner flame) of large meals, turn on all three burners. For
indirect cooking (food offset from burner flame), see instructions
below.
Your grill offers two indirect cooking methods, one-burner for
larger food selections, and two-burner for smaller food amounts.
With either method, be sure to observe the following:
• Always cook with the lid closed.
• Never cook with food placed directly over the flames.
• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold
and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be
increased to insure sufficient cooking temperatures.
• Use this method for larger foods or large amounts of food.
• Ignite the
burner. For slow cooking, adjust the control
knob to the
setting. For faster cooking, adjust the control
knob to the
setting.
• Place the food in the center or left side of the cooking grate.
• Because the heat source is only on one side, the food should
be rotated at least once during cooking to insure even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to determine when the food is done.
• Use this method for smaller foods that fit between the left and
right burners without being placed directly over the flames.
•
, ignite the

, ignite the
and
burners and adjust the control knobs to the

• Place the food in the center of the cooking grate.
• Because there is a heat source on both sides, there is no need
to rotate the food during cooking. Use a meat thermometer to

Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
•
•
•
•
•
Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached
a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for
visual signs of doneness.
Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach
160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°
F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
