Checking for Leaks
Burner Connection
Make sure the control valve is securely fastened to
the burner.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the
connection between the burner and control valve.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
Failure to inspect this connection or
follow these instructions could cause
a fire or an explosion which can
cause death, serious bodily injury, or
damage to property.
If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the control valve,
please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Regulator / 1# LP Gas Tank Connection
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid
dishwashing soap with three parts water.
Make sure control knob is off.
Spoon several drops of solution, or use squirt bottle,
at the LP gas tank to regulator connection.
Inspect the solution at the connection, looking for
bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the connections are
secure. If bubbles appear, you have a leak.
Loosen and retighten this connection, making sure the
connection is secure.
Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles
after several attempts, disconnect propane source and
contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

have been removed from the grill.

lid closed may cause an explosion!
3. Make sure there are no obstructions of airflow to
the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest within

burner manually. Access the burner through the
hole in bottom bowl as indicated.

grill for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal
parts and dissipate odors.

the lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to desired temperature.

lines by waiting 15 seconds then turn all burner controls to the “OFF” position. A “poof”
sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.

2. If cooking fatty or otherwise moist foods, use caution to clean up
drippings before opening lid to prevent damage to the painted finish

simultaneously. Make sure you will have the ability to access all foods
as needed.

Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life
1. For food safety tips visit: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Barbecue_Food_Safety/
2. Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads
or cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.
3. To keep food from sticking to the grids, spray or coat with cooking oil before lighting.
4. To reduce flare-up keep grill clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on
very high temperatures.
5. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and place on upper
cooking levels (warming rack).
6. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn
foods over just once during cooking.
7. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches.
Follow the wood manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
9. After every use, allow grill to cool. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of
cooking oil, empty grease pan (if included), wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen
cleaner and store in a cool dry place.
