WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas
indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or
the LP gas cylinder. Failure to immediately follow
the steps listed below could result in a fire or
explosion that could cause serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage.
• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
• Turn the control knobs to OFF position.
• Put out any flame with a proper fire
extinguisher.
• Open Grill Hood.
• Get away from the LP gas cylinder.
• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
• If odor continues or you have a fire you can not
extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call
near the LP gas cylinder because your telephone
is a form of electrical device and could create a
spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.
CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally
spin webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes
during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead
to gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in
and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as
“FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to
your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for
the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only
cause of “FLASH-BACK”, it is the most common
cause.
To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK”, you must
clean the burner tubes before assembling your grill,
and at least once a month in late summer or early fall
when spiders are most active. Also perform this burner
tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been used
for an extended period of time.
See Cleaning Burner Tubes and Ports on page # 24.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is perfectly
normal and will not interfere with operation of the
grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive you
may need to purge air from the gas line or reset
the regulator excess gas flow device. This purging
procedure should be done every time a new LP
gas cylinder is connected to your grill. For help with
this procedure refer to page 22, “If Grill Still Fails
To Light”, or call the Customer Service Helpline 8
AM to 4:30 PM Eastern Time at: 855-256-2160
Visually check the burner flames prior to each
use. The flames should look like picture, if they
do not, refer to the cleaning burner tubes and
ports, see page 24 of this manual.
Requiring the grill can be connected to the gas
supply by means of a flexible hose connector
complying with the current Standard.
for Elastomeric Composite Hose and Couplings
for Conducting Propane and Natural Gas,
CAN/CGA-8.1or with the Standard for
Thermoplastic Hose and Hose Couplings for
Conducting Propane and Natural Gas, CAN1-8.3.
CAUTION: Beware of Flash-Back

WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest inside the
burners of the grill and disrupt gas flow. This
very dangerous condition could cause a fire
behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the
grill and making it unsafe for operation.
Inspect the grill at least twice a year.
