are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check
the connection between the burner venturi pipe and
orifice. Make sure the burner venturi pipe fits over
the orifice.
WARNING: Failure to inspect this
connection or follow these instructions
could cause a fire or an explosion
which can cause death, serious bodily
injury, or damage to property.
2. Please refer to diagram for proper installation.
(Figures 1 and 2)
3. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice,
please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Tank/Gas Line Connection

liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are (OFF) position.
(Figure 3)
3. LP: Turn LP gas tank valve to "OPEN".
NG: Turn "ON" natural gas main valve.
4. Spoon leak check solution at all "X" locations
(Figures 1, 2 and 4a or 4b)
a. LP: If any bubbles appear turn LP gas tank valve
to "CLOSED", reconnect and re-test.
NG: If any bubbles appear turn natural gas main
valve "OFF", reconnect and re-test.
b. LP: If you continue to see bubbles after several

Operating Instructions (continued)
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on
this grill for the first time by operating the grill
for at least 15 minutes on (HIGH). with the lid
closed. This will "heat clean" the internal parts and
dissipate odors.
Lighting
1. Open lid. Attempting to light the burner with the
lid closed may cause an explosion!
2. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to
the burners. Spiders and insects can nest within
and clog the burner / venturi tube at the orifice. A
clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the
appliance.
3. All control knobs must be in the (OFF) position.
(Figure 3)
4. LP: Turn LP gas tank valve to "OPEN".
NG: Turn "ON" natural gas main valve.
5. Select burner to light. Push and turn control knob to
(HIGH).
6. Press the (electronic igniter) button and hold for
up to 5 seconds to light burner.
7. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner
control knob (OFF), wait 5 minutes, and repeat
lighting procedure.
8. If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match
secured with the lighting rod provided to light
burners manually. Access the burners through the
cooking grid and heat plates. Position the lit match
near side of the burner. (Figure 5)
Important: Always use the lighting rod provided when
lighting burners with a match.
9. After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure
all burner ports are lit and flame height matches
illustration. (Figure 6)
Note: Each burner lights independently - repeat steps 5-9 for the other burners.
Caution: If burner flame goes out during operation, immediately turn
the gas (OFF) and open lid to let the gas clear for about 5 minutes
before re-lighting.
Turning Off
1. LP: Turn LP gas tank valve to "CLOSED".
NG: Turn "OFF" natural gas main valve.
2. Turn all control knobs clockwise to the (OFF) position.
Note: A "poof" sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.
Direct Cooking
Cooking directly over hot burners is ideal for searing in juices and grilling food requiring
less than 25 minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts,
vegetables and fruit.
1. Open lid and ignite the desired burner(s) per lighting instructions.
2. Close lid and preheat grill on (HIGH).
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the
lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to desired flame height.
5. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
6. LP: Turn grill OFF by turning the LP gas tank valve to "CLOSED". Burn off remaining gas in
lines by waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the (OFF) position. A "poof"
sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.
NG: Turn grill OFF by turning the natural gas main valve to "OFF". Burn off remaining gas in
lines by waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the (OFF) position. A "poof"
sound is normal as the last of the NG is burned.
