WARNING (CONT.) - NEVER use charcoal or lighter fluid in this gas grill. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a grease fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage. - Before each use of your grill, inspect the grease tray, flame tamers, and the inside of the grill bowl to be sure there is no excessive grease and debris buildup.
CORRECT PROPANE GAS TANK USE - - Propane gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank (sold separately). Never connect your gas grill to a propane gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size propane gas tank to use. You must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed Overfill Prevention Device.
WARNING A) Do not store a spare propane gas tank under or near this appliance. B) Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full. C) lf the information in “(A)” and “(B)” are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. - Use your grill at least three feet away from any wall or surface.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE GRILL WARNING: - Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill. - Turn off the gas supply at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing. To avoid the possibility of burns, cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool and off. EXTERIOR STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES Weathering and high heat can cause the stainless steel grill lid to turn tan in color. This is not rust and is not a product defect.
2. Turn the propane tank valve off. 3. Detach the gas line from your grill or propane tank. 4. Remove the cooking grates, flame tamers, and grease trays from your grill. Use a fiber or brass cleaning brush to clean the interior grill box, cooking grills, flame tamers, and grease containers. Never use a wire brush or metal scraper on the porcelain finished parts as it can scratch or chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting. 1. Turn all the control knobs to OFF. 2. Turn the propane tank valve off.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY GRILL WON’T LIGHT? - Turn the gas off at its source, then turn the control knobs OFF. Wait at least five minutes for gas to clear, then retry. - Check your gas supply and connections. - Repeat the lighting procedure. lf your grill still fails to operate, turn the gas off at its source, turn the control knobs to OFF, then check the following: - The burner tubes may be misaligned with the orifices. Reposition the burner tubes over the orifices.
WHY DOESN’T THE HOSE AND REGULATOR SUPPLIED WITH MY GRILL FIT THE OLDER PROPANE TANK I’VE USED FOR YEARS? U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and propane gas tanks. When regulations are changed, propane gas tank fittings are altered to ensure compliance. lf your propane gas tank does not fit the hose and regulator supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced. NOTE: Effective April 1, 2002, all propane gas tanks sold must include an Overfill Protection Device (OPD).
- There may be an obstruction in the gas line orifice. Remove the fuel line from the grill. Open the gas supply for one second to clear any obstruction from fuel line. Close off the gas supply at its source and reconnect fuel line to the grill. - lf an obstruction is suspected in the orifice or gas valves, call the TYTUS Support Center. WARNING: Do not smoke while clearing the gas line. WARNING: Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.
