1. Inspect the gas supply hoses before each use. Hoses
can be burned or chafed if they are routed improperly.
See that hoses have no kinks, sharp bends or tension.
Insure that hoses are at least 3 inches away from any
hot surface. If it is evident that there is excessive abrasion
or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the
grill being put into operation.
2. Use only the gas specified.
3. Keep the grill on a level surface and lock the castors.
4. Keep grease pans empty at start up.
5. Do not use charcoal or lighting fluid.
WARNING
Failure to follow these safety steps before using grill each
time could result in a fire that could be hazardous to you,
your appliance or property. It is especially important to
observe these steps after the grill has been stored, moved
or cleaned.
Step 1
■ Make sure Burner Valves
are in OFF position.
■ Turn on fuel supply on righthand
L.P. gas cylinder.
WARNING
THE FOLLOWING RULES MUST ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED IN THIS ORDER :
1. Check that the Burner Control Knobs are turned to “OFF.”
2. Turn on fuel supply. For an L.P. gas cylinder, turn the
top cylinder valve knob counterclockwise to open.
3. DO NOT stand with head or arms over grill.
Step 2
WARNING
This procedure MUST be performed OUTDOORS only! Be
sure L.P. cylinder valve is closed. Attach to Grill. Read and fol-
low directions on the cylinder and fuel hose safety tags.
CAUTION
In the connection process, the grill side of the connection will
seal on the back-check in the valve, resulting in a slight resist-
ance. The connection requires about one-half to three-quarters
additional turn to complete the connection. To disconnect, turn
counterclockwise. Tighten by hand only. DO NOT use tools.
NOTE: Follow this Lighting Procedure to light Burners on one side of the
grill then repeat to light the Burners on the other side of the grill.
CAUTION
Inspect the gas supply hoses before each use. If there are
cuts, damage, excessive abrasion or wear, replace the
hoses prior to operating the appliance. During assembly of
grill and when attaching or replacing the L. P. gas cylinder,
insure that all gas supply hoses are free of kinks and/or
damage and are at least 3" away from hot surfaces such as
the grill housing. Use only hose replacements specified in
the parts list.
If you detect a leak:
1. Turn off the fuel supply. Push in and turn on control knobs
to release pressure in hose, then return the control knobs
to OFF.
2. Wash off soapy solutions with cold water and towel dry.
3. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint, or by replacing the
faulty part with a replacement part recommended by
Coleman. DO NOT attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it
should become damaged; the cylinder MUST be replaced.
4. If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the
cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from the grill. Call a gas
appliance serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. DO NOT use grill
until the leak is corrected.
When to test for leaks:
1. Perform a leak test each time the gas supply cylinder is
connected to the regulator. Leak test anytime a part of
the gas system is replaced.
2. Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the L.P.
gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not.
3. Have a dealer check the cylinder for deterioration after 12
years, according to DOT regulations. Immediately replace
cylinder if any deterioration is found
