COOkINg WITH gAS
(c) Provided with a tank connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor
cooking appliances.
The tank should be 12 in. in diameter and 18-1/2 in. tall and be equipped with a Type-1 fitting.
The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
The tank used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
Do not operate the gas grill indoors or in any enclosed area. If the gas grill is not in use, the
gas must be turned off at the supply tank. If the grill is to be stored indoors, disconnect the
gas supply tank and store the tank in an upright position in a cool, well-ventilated outdoor
location away from your grill or any other heat source.
When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open flame. Use a soapy water solution and
apply it to the pipe joints and fittings with a brush and check for bubbles. Check flexible hoses
for cuts and wear that may affect the safe operation of the grill. Only the factory supplied hose
and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose assemblies specified
by manufacturer.
Checking gas leaks
Before operating your grill, after refueling, check carefully to be certain that all connections
are tight and there are no gas leaks.
1. Make 2-3 ounces of leak solution by mixing liquid dishwashing soap with water.
2. Make certain all control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Brush small amounts of the leak solution on all the fittings and turn the gas on.
4. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Proceed to step 5.
5. Turn the gas off and tighten all connections.
6. Go back to step 1 to retest the fittings.
7. If bubbles continue to appear, turn the gas off. Contact customer service.
WARNING: Never use a match or open flame for leak detection. Use of an open flame
could result in a fire, explosion and bodily harm.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing any gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be
sealed with approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber's tape.
Handling the liquid Propane Tank Safely
Remember to handle your portable liquid propane tank carefully when you take it to your
dealer for a refill. Avoid dropping it or bumping it against sharp objects. Liquid propane tanks
are sturdily constructed, but a series of hard jolts could damage the container.
