Connecting the Hose to the Appliance
Before connection, ensure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, regulator,
burner, and burner ports. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner/venturi tube at the
orice. A clogged burner can lead to a re beneath the appliance.
Clean burner holes with a heavy-duty pipe cleaner.
If the hose is replaced it must be secured to the appliance and regulator connections with hose clips.
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder (according to the directions supplied with the regulator) when
the appliance is not in use.
The appliance must be used in a well ventilated area. Do not obstruct the ow of combustion air to the
burner when in use. ONLY USE THIS APPLIANCE OUTDOORS.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Grill
This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas or LPG mixtures,
tted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a exible hose. The hose should be secured to
the regulator and the appliance with hose clips.
1. Ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position and verify that the gas cylinder valve is closed by
turning the handle on the gas cylinder valve clockwise until it stops.
2. Remove the protective cap from the gas cylinder valve nozzle.
3. Hold the regulator in a straight line with the gas cylinder valve nozzle so the connection does not
cross thread.
4. Insert regulator nipple into the gas cylinder valve nozzle opening.
5. Hand-tighten coupling nut in a clockwise direction. Do not use tools!
6. Perform a Leak Test. (See Leak Testing section of this manual).
** BEFORE USE CHECK FOR LEAKS **
Never check for leaks with a naked eye. Always use a soapy water solution.
NOTE: Before starting the grill, check for leaks. Make sure the regulator valve is securely fastened to
the burner and the cylinder to prevent re or explosion hazard when testing for a leak.
Always perform the “Leak Test” as described below before lighting the grill or each time the cylinder is
connected for use.
• Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Conduct leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use matches, lighters or a ame to check for leaks.
• Do not use grill until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the
propane supply. Call a gas appliance serviceman or your local propane gas supplier.
