Usage Features:
- Outdoor Use Only: The grill is strictly for outdoor use and must not be used in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways, boats, trailers, or recreational vehicles to prevent fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Lid Operation: Always open the lid carefully and slowly to avoid severe burns from trapped heat and steam. The lid must be open when lighting the burners to prevent explosions.
- Gas Supply: The grill connects to a 1-pound propane gas cylinder. The gas supply valve at the tank should be turned on slowly.

- Safety Precautions:
- Always perform a leak test on all connections and hoses before each use and after connecting a new cylinder.
- Never leave a lit grill unattended.

- Do not grill in high winds.
- Do not store spare propane cylinders or flammable liquids near the grill.
- Do not use charcoal or lighter fluid.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation opening of the cylinder enclosure.
- Wear protective gloves when the grill is hot.
- If the burner does not light, turn the control knob to "OFF," wait five minutes with the lid open for gas to clear, and then repeat the lighting procedure.
- In case of a persistent grease fire, turn knobs to OFF, turn gas OFF at the propane tank, leave the lid closed, and let the fire burn out.
- "Flare-ups" are normal but should be controlled by monitoring the grill and turning down the flame to LOW or OFF if they intensify.

- The grease cup should be periodically emptied and cleaned.
- Burner Assembly Cleaning:
- Turn off gas at control knobs and propane tank.
- Remove cooking grates, heat plate, and grease cup.
- Remove the burner by unscrewing the nut from beneath the burner "foot" and lifting it away from the gas valve orifice.
- Clean the burner's inlet (venturi tube) with a small bottle brush or compressed air.
- Remove food residue and dirt from the burner surface.
