How to Perform A Leak Test “FIRST TIME USE” and as required Supplies Needed for a Leak Test: • Clean paint brush • Water • Dish washing liquid 1. Use an LP Gas Cylinder equipped with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device) and have it filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified attendant. 2. Make sure all grill Control Panel Knobs are turned to the “Off” position and verify that the LP Gas Cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob on the LP Gas Cylinder clockwise until it stops. 3.
6. If “growing” bubbles appear on any of the connection points, you have detected a gas leak. Immediately close the LP Gas Cylinder valve by turning handle clockwise a. If leak appears at either end of hose and regulator assembly, retighten the connection at the leak, but do not over-tighten. (NOTE: Only hand tighten at coupling nut in Fig. 1 shown on previous page) Repeat Leak Test. b.

Manually Lighting the Grill ! WARNING To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion: • Open Hood before lighting the grill to prevent an explosion from gas build-up. 1. Open the Hood. 2. IMPORTANT: Make sure Control Knobs are turned “Off.” (Fig. 4 - P.26) 3. Turn the LP Gas Cylinder valve open counterclockwise until it stops. (Fig. 5- P.26) 4.

Cooking On the Gas Grill ! WARNING To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire, explosion or burn hazard: • Never use charcoal or lighter fluid in your gas grill. Keep this outdoor cooking appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. • Keep any electrical supply cord and regulator hose away from any heated surfaces.
Grill Cooking (Direct Method) Direct Cooking on the Grids: Food is cooked directly over the heat source. The Burners heat up the Flavor Activators under the Cooking Grids, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices from cooking fall onto the hot Flavor Activators below and vaporize. Rising smoke bastes the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavor. Use the Direct Cooking method for foods that take less than 25 minutes to cook: steaks, chops, kabobs, sausages, and more.
Warming Rack ! WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or flare-up from grease drippings: • When cooking food on the warming rack, make sure no Burners are on directly under the Drip Pan. • Clean grease drippings away from grill after each use. Warming Racks are a convenient way to cook food, keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread or rolls. To keep foods warm, set the Burners on Low or turn off all that are not needed.
Cooking Grid/Flavor Activators: Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the stainless steel or porcelain-coated surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids. All Other Cleaning: For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not immerse the Gas Controls or Manifold in water.
6. Check the Gas Collector Box to verify that there is a 3/16” gap between the electrode tip and the top flange of the box as shown in Fig. 12. Fig. 12 3/16” gap Gas Collector Box - If no spark, pinch together or open Gas Collector Box to adjust 3/16” gap between electrode tip and V-notch. NOTE: Before next step, you may wish to clean the rest of the grill. See Grill Cart, Bowl and Hood (p. 30). 7. After cleaning, refit the Burner. NOTE: When refitting the Burner, be sure it is positioned correctly.
