Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the
outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from
harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot
soapy water before and after handling raw meat and
poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-
to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean
platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria.
Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food
temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often
browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed
meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food
to check for visual signs of doneness.
• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before
cooking in your appliance.
• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run
clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops
can be cooked to 145° F.
• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish
cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful
bacteria.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal
food temperatures.

USE AND CARE

DANGER
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near
the appliance or in an enclosed area.
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the
safety relief valve. This could cause an intense
fire with risk of property damage, serious injury
or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping,
immediately get away from the LP
cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.
• Keep LP tank at a minimum distance of 24"
(inches) away from appliance at all times.
24"
LP Cylinder Removal, Transport and Storage

coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use
tools to disconnect. Loosen cylinder screw beneath
bottom shelf or disconnect other retention means, then lift
LP cylinder up and and out of cart. Install safety cap onto
LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap supplied

•A disconnected LP cylinder in storage or being
transported must have a safety cap installed (as

to store regulator.
LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
•LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when
produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an
odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
•LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly
when mixed with air.
LP Cylinder
•The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet
the following requirements:
•Use LP cylinders only with these required
measurements: 12" (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7
cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) capacity maximum.
•LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in
accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada,
CAN/CSA-B339, cylinders, spheres and tubes for
transportation of dangerous goods, Transport Canada
(TC). See LP cylinder collar for marking.
•LP cylinder valve must have:
•Type 1 outlet compatible with
regulator or grill.
•Safety relief valve.
•UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD
safety feature is identified by a unique triangular hand
wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this
type of valve.
•LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal
and include collar to protect LP cylinder valve.
Always keep LP cylinders in upright position
during use, transit or storage.
LP Cylinder Filling
•Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
•LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.
•Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of
LP cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will
vary by temperature.
•A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close
LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for
assistance.
•Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the
atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.
•To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or
call a local fire department for assistance. Check the
