Checking for Leaks
Burner Connection
Make sure the control valve is securely fastened to

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.
Lighting
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films
have been removed from the grill.
2. Open lid. Attempting to light the burner with the 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 and clog
the burner / venturi tube at the orifice.

control knob OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting
procedure.
8. If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match
secured with the lighting rod provided to light burners
manually. Access the burner through the hole in
bottom bowl as indicated. Turn the grill to “LOW”, and
position the lit match near side of the burner.
9. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure
all burner ports are lit and flame height matches
illustration.
Important: Always use the lighting rod provided when
lighting burners with a match.

operation, immediately turn the gas
“OFF” and open lid to let the gas clear
for about 5 minutes before re-lighting.
Turning Off
1. Turn control knob to the “LOCK OFF” position.
2. Remove LP gas tank and properly store tank.
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill
for at least 15 minutes on “HIGH” with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts
and dissipate odors.
Cooking
1. Open lid and ignite burner per lighting instructions.
2. Close lid and preheat grill on “HIGH”.
3. Wear protective gloves and use long handle tongs to place food onto cooking grids above the
lit burners.
4. Adjust controls to desired temperature.
5. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
6. Turn grill “OFF” by first closing the valve on the propane tank. Burn off remaining gas in 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.
7. Turn grill “OFF” by turning control knob to the “LOCK OFF” position. Remove LP gas tank and
properly store tank.
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.

A gas grill is ideal for reheating leftover pizza. Set burners on low and place pizza slices
directly on preheated cooking grid. Close lid and cook until cheese starts to bubble.
Using Charcoal
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
1. This is not a charcoal grill. It is a LP gas grill designed to add the
flavor of charcoal or wood.
2. Do not use instant light charcoal.
3. Position the grill so wind cannot carry ashes to combustible
surfaces.
4. Always wear protective gloves when adding charcoal or wood.
5. Allow coals/embers to extinguish and cool before transporting,
storing, or moving the grill. Do not cover the grill until contents of
the charcoal areas are completely and fully extinguished and empty.
6. Do not use burning charcoal to relight gas burners. Always light the
burners using the built in ignition or a match.
• Use charcoal or wood chips if desired. The grill will
operate like a normal LP gas grill if the charcoal areas
are empty.
• If using wood chips, either dry or soaked chips are
good.
• Use natural, standard, or lump charcoal if desired.
• Add charcoal or wood chips to the charcoal areas
prior to the grill preheat. The LP gas burner will ignite
the charcoal. This guarantees full flavor once cooking
begins. Do not place charcoal anywhere other than the
dedicated charcoal areas. Do not overfill the charcoal
area. Make sure the cooking grid can fit properly against the bottom bowl.
• Do not operate the grill without the hybrid heat plate in place.
• After every use, empty ashes once completely cool and fully extinguised.
