Important: Before cooking on your grill the first time,
wash cooking grids and cooking rack with warm ,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Season with
cooking oil regularly. After cooking is completed, turn
grill to HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes to burn off
excess grease or food residue.
1. Install heat diffusers above burners. Holes in
corners of diffusers attach onto pegs in front and
back iedge of firebox. Ensure that firebox heat shield
is inserted securely into slots. If grill was shipped
with shield taped in place, remove tape before using
grill.
2. Evenly space cooking grids on the ledge above
heat diffusers. (Fig.20)
3. Insert legs of warming rack into the holes in the
top of grill bowl side panels. (Fig.20)

Connecting LP Gas Tank to LP Grill
1 .Remove the screw on tank bolt & take off the
washer. Insert the tank bolt from rear of the grill and
reinstall the washer & screw set. From Rear of the
cart, place foot ring of 20 lb tank into the hole in
bottom panel. Make sure the tank valve is in OFF
position. Use the tank bolt to secure the tank in a
fixed position (Fig.21).
2. Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper
external mating threads to fit the hose and regulator
assembly provided.
3. Make sure all burner valves are in OFF position.
4. Inspect the valve connection port and regulator
assembly. Look for damage or debris. Remove any
debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never use
damaged or plugged equipment.
5. When connecting regulator and hose assembly to
tank valve hand tighten quick coupling nut clockwise
to a full stop (Fig.22) Do not use a wrench to tighten
because it could damage the quick coupling nut and
result in a hazardous condition.
6. Open tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a
soapy water solution to check all connections for
ieaks before attempting to light your grill. If a leak is
found, turn tank valve off and do not use your grill
