This appliance is designed to operate with a one pound 7.75 or 10.6 high disposable / 16.4 oz. or 14.1 oz. propane gas cylinder (DOT 39 Cylinder) Do not attempt to refill any disposable propane gas cylinders. The cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position and should not be dropped or handled roughly. When the appliance is to be stored indoors, the propane gas cylinder must be disconnected from the appliance. When the propane gas cylinder is connected to the appliance, both must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space. The propane gas cylinder should never be transported or stored where temperatures can reach 51.C (124.F) Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. The propane gas cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. Disconnect the gas propane cylinder when not in use. CONNECT THE PROPANE GAS CYLINDER Only cylinders marked propane may be used. Note: Some 1lb cylinders may form frost when near empty. 1. Make sure the control knob is in OFF position. 2. Lubricate the threads of the regulator with petroleum jelly if necessary. Line up threads on LP gas cylinder with regulator. 3. Insert and rotate LP gas cylinder clockwise until they fit snugly together. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. Be careful not to cross threads when screwing in the cylinder. Test for leaks, see Leak Test Section. CAUTION (a) Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance; (b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; and (c) If the instructions in (a) and (b) are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. LEAK TEST Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. SC2000301-SC-00 - ENG 5 of 19 20151210-V1
Periodically check the whole system for leaks following the procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at any time you should immediately check the entire system for leaks. BEFORE TESTING Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including the burner tie-down straps. Prepare a soap water mixture of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the LP cylinder is available and never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. WARNING DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CONDUCTING LEAK TEST NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the regulator is damaged, it must be replaced prior to the appliance being operational. The replacement regulator shall be specified the by manufacturer. TO TEST 1. Make sure the control knobs are in the OFF position, and turn on the gas supply. 2. Check all connections at the Gas cylinder, LP gas regulator and supply valve up to and including all connections to the pipe that go to the burners (the diagram shows the point where the soap water mixture is being applied). Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. 3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings. 4. Turn the gas back on and recheck. 5. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the outdoor cooking gas appliance being put into operation. The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer. Contact customer service at (888) 837-1380 Points of leak test: 1.

Natural Hazards -Insects and Spiders WARNING A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance. During shipment or storage, it is possible that small Insects and spiders could find their way into the venturi tubes and make nests or webs. This could block the flow of gas through the venturi tube causing a smoky, yellowish flame, or prevent a burner from lighting. It could even cause the gas to burn outside the venturi tube, which could seriously damage the appliance. If this occurs, turn off the gas flow and wait for the appliance to cool. When the appliance has cooled, remove the burner and clean out the venturi tube with a brush or pipe cleaner. Replace the burner and be sure that the venturi tube is seated over the orifice located on the gas valves. Cleaning of the venturi tube should be conducted periodically, especially at the start of the season. Note: Damage resulting from blocked venturi tube is not covered under warranty. Flame Characteristics Check for proper burner flame characteristics. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. The following steps should be followed for correcting the flame characteristics: Turn the control knobs and Liquid Propane cylinder valve OFF Allow the grill and burners to cool. If the flame is yellow (not enough air), turn the adjustment screw found at the front of the burner counterclockwise. Appox. 1/2 inches If the flame is noisy or lifts away from the burner (too much air), turn the adjustment screw found at the front of the burner counterclockwise. If these adjustments do not correct the problem, contact customer service at (888) 837-1380 Grill Maintenance Clean and inspect pressure regulator and hose assembly prior to use. 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. Meal 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. Open grill lid and remove cooking grate. Loosen residue with scraper or putty knife. Wipe away loosened residue with paper towels. 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 brass wire brush. Thoroughly rinse grill with water and allow to completely air-dry before using again. Place cooking grate and lid onto grill. Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. SC2000301-SC-00 - ENG 17 of 19 20151210-V1
Burner Cleaning Before cleaning, make sure the gas supply and control knobs are in the OFF position and the burners have cooled. To remove the main burners for cleaning: 1. Open lid. Remove the cooking grate and flame tamer. 2. Remove the screws and ignition electrode wire, lift the burner out of the firebox to clean the grill burners. 3. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Use a metal scraper for stubbed stains or debris. 4. Clear clogged ports with straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. 5. Check and clean burner / venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath and behind the main control panel. To reinstall the main burners: 1. Insert the burner over the main burner gas valve. 2. Make sure the orifice spud (A) is inside the burner venturi (B) 3. Align the burner screw hole with the firebox hole, insert screw and tighten.
