Installing Cooking Components
Important: Before cooking on your gdll the first
time, wash the cooking grids and warming rack
with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Season with cooking oil regularly. After cooking is
completed, turn grill to HIGH setting for about five
minutes to bum off excess grease or food residue.

The lower section of the gas tank will lean on
the Tank Guide. See Fig. 13. Make sure the
LP gas tank valve is in the full OFF position.
(Turn clockwise to close.)

external mating threads to fit the hose &
regulator assembly provided. (Type 1 connec-
tion per ANSI Z21.58a-1998)
3. Make sure all burner valves are in the OFF
position.
4. Inspect the valve connection port and regulator
assembly. Look for any damage or debris,
Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage.
Never attempt to use damaged or plugged
equipment.
5. When connecting the hose and regulator
assembly to the tank valve, hand tighten nut
clockwise to a full stop. Do Not use a
wrench to tighten because it could damage
the Quick Coupling Nut and result in a
hazardous condition.

Use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks before attempting to light
your gdll. See "Checking for LP Gas Leaks"
