m DANGER  
Check gas system for leaks to prevent fire or explosion hazard  
Never store or use gasoline or other flammable or volatile  
substances in the vicinity of this grill or in the vicinity of any other  
heat-generating appliance, because of the danger of starting a fire.

5.2 Special Instructions for the Use of Regulator and Propane Cylinder  
A propane gas cylinder is required for operation. Use a 14.1 oz. or 16.4 oz.  
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you  
are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply,  
and call for gas application service or your local propane  
gas supplier.  
This Cuisinart grill is equipped with a regulator having a CGA No.600 cylinder connection device  
for connecting to a 14.1 oz. or 16.4 oz. Only cylinders marked “PROPANE” must be used.  
Leak Check Method  
The propane cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specification for  
LP-Gas cylinders of the U.S Department of Transportation (D.O.T) or the National standard of Canada,  
CAN/CSA-B339,Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

2. Make sure control knob is in the “OFF” position.  
Store spare fuel canisters in a well-ventilated area away from the grill.  
Do not puncture or burn fuel canister.  
3. Spray or paint some leak solution on the cylinder and regulator connection.  
4. Inspect the solution at the connections, looking for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.  
5. If bubbles appear, a leak is detected. Go to step 6.  
If the grill is not in use, the control knob must be turned to the “OFF” position to shut off the gas flow  
from the cylinder.  
6. Disconnect the cylinder from the regulator, and reconnect. Make sure the connection is secure  
and no leak is found before using the grill.  
Do not store a spare propane cylinder under or near this grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

5.5 Lighting Instructions  
6. Care And Maintenance  
1. Read all instructions before lighting.  
2. Open lid during lighting.  
3. Make sure the gas control knob is in “OFF” position.  
4. Push the gas control knob and quickly turn counterclockwise to “HIGH”  
position. The igniter will click and light the burner.  
6.1 Care  
Regular care of your grill will help keep it operating properly. All maintenance should be done only when the  
grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off. Occasionally inspect and tighten hardware that may become loose.  
5. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the gas control knob off, wait  
5 minutes, and repeat steps 2 - 5.* Before cooking on this grill for the first  
time, operate the grill for about 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas  
turned on “HIGH”. This will “heat clean” the internal parts  
and dissipate odor from the painted finish.  
6.2 Cleaning The Venturi Tube  
A spider’s nest or wasp’s mud inside the Venturi Tube can block gas flow and can even cause a fire at the gas  
control valve. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to your grill.  
*Clean your grill after each use. See Section 6.3 for instructions  
*If the burner does not light, turn the gas control knob off and wait 5 minutes  
to let the gas clear before you try again.  
To prevent insect related problems, inspect the Venturi Tube screen cover regularly and remove any dirt.

Troubleshooting  
Your obligations:  
Burner won’t light (using a 16.4oz or 14.1oz LP bottle)  
This grill must be assembled, installed, operated and maintained in accordance with all applicable  
codes and the instruction manual furnished with this grill. You must keep an invoice, cancelled  
check or payment record to verify the purchase date of the grill.  
• Be sure LP bottle still has fuel in it by gently shaking it - there will be sounds of liquid inside if fuel remains.  
• Ensure LP bottle is correctly threaded into regulator (not cross threaded) and fully tightened.  
• Check to see that the venturi tube air inlet screen is not covered or clogged (see Section 6.2 on page 13).  
• “Check to see that burner orafice holes are clear. If obstructed, with gas bottle disconnected, gently brush orafice  
holes with a small brush.”  
• Check to see that ignitor is producing a spark against the burner (best checked in shady spot).  
“If above do not solve problem, unless LP tank is new, replace with new tank and attempt lighting again.”  
Burner won’t light (using 20lb. Tank with conversion hose)  
• Review all steps in LP bottle section above  
• Ensure that LP tank supply valve is open (turned counterclockwise until stop)  
• Ensure that the orifices at both ends of the conversion hose are not obstructed or damaged.  
• Straighten sharp kinks in conversion hose  
Grill doesn’t reach high enough temperature (using LP bottle)  
• Be sure LP bottle still has fuel in it by gently shaking it - there will be sounds of liquid inside if fuel remains.  
• Check to see that the venturi tube air inlet screen is not covered or clogged (see Section 6.2 on page 13).  
• “Test gas system for leaks (Section 5.4, page 9)”  
com/customerservice or contact us at 1-866-994-6390  
Grill doesn’t reach high enough temperature (using 20lb LP tank with conversion hose)  
Your LP tank has a safety device that is intended to reduce gas flow in the event of a leak. When this device is active,  
it is commonly called “”bypass””. This device can be inadertantly activated by not following proper lighting procedures.  
Should you experience low flame, you should do the following:  
To order replacement parts or additional Cuisinart Grilling products,  
1) shut off grill  
2) close tank valve fully  
3) remove conversion hose to relieve pressure, then re-attach

Then, restart the grill (and start the grill each time) using the proper procedure:  
1) ensure the grill fuel knob is turned to OFF  
2) slowly open the gas tank valve fully  
3) WAIT 15 SECONDS  
4) follow the grill lighting steps (printed on grill, and in owner’s manual)”
