when mixed with air.
2. Cap should be kept on cylinder when not in use to prevent dirt
and debris from entering Regulator/Valve.
3. Check end of cylinder attachment for dirt and debris. Clean out
if necessary.
Propane Cylinder Use (1 lb. Disposable)

Lighting Instructions
Important! Remove or raise lid to open position.
Attempting to light burner with lid closed may cause an
explosion. Do not expose any part of your body or clothing
directly above cooking area when lighting.
CAUTION
SPIDER ALERT!
1. From beneath the grill, place lighted wooden match up
through lighter/ventilation hole in center of bottom.
2. While holding match in place, turn control knob to lighting
position. Grill will ignite.
3. Observe burner flames through openings in heat distribution
plate. Make sure burner ignites and stays lit on both sides.
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the burner.
4. Preheat grill for 6 minutes with lid closed. Using control
knob on Regulator/Valve, adjust flame to desired height for
cooking.
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill’s burner tube obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner tube.
This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even
cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
burner tube should be removed from the grill and cleaned before
use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF GAS AT LP CYLINDER!
1. Wait for grill to cool.
2. Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tube.
CAUTION
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner control OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the
lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with
the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the
burner and could accidently ignite with risk of injury.

Grill Maintenance
CAUTION
• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not possible.
Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may
result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and LP
cylinder off.
- Allow grill to cool before cleaning. Frequency of cleaning is
determined by how often grill is used.
- DO NOT use self-cleaning oven to clean any grill part.
Extreme heat would remove any chrome plating and cause
premature rusting.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning
off food residue on HI. If grill has not been regularly
cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the
product.
- Meat drippings will solidify in bottom of grill after a few uses.
This residue should be removed regularly. Failure to do so
could cause overflow at bottom vent openings and increase
the chance of a grease fire.
- When cleaning grill, cover work area with newspaper.
Remove grill lid and cooking grate. Loosen residue with
scraper or putty knife. Wipe away loosened residue with
paper towels.
Before Cooking For The First Time
Operate grill for 15 minutes with the grill lid closed and the gas
control on HIGH. This will heat-clean internal components and
eliminate odor from paint finish of grill.
- Inside surface of grill may be cleaned with a strong solution
of detergent and water applied with a scrub brush. Cooking
grate may be cleaned with a wire brush. Thoroughly rinse
grill with water and allow to completely air-dry before using
again.
Turning Grill Off
- After cooking, turn the grill off by rotating the control knob to
OFF. Control knob should pop up in the OFF position. If
control knob does not pop up, disconnect cylinder to turn grill
off and replace the Regulator/Valve.
- Place cooking grate and lid onto grill.
- Allow grill to cool completely before storing.
Food Safety
Storing Grill
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:
- Allow grill to cool completely.
- Remove Propane Cylinder and install protective cap over
outlet threads.
- Remove Regulator/Valve from grill to help keep dirt out of the
propane cylinder probe.
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy
water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
- Store Regulator/Valve in a heavy plastic bag and place inside
grill.
- Fold legs up over top of grill with lid in closed position.
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 klil bacteria.
Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food
temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
