If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the
LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your
re department!
LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills oer you the option of
replacing your empty LP tank through an exchange
service. Use only those reputable exchange companies
that inspect, precision ll, test and certify their tanks.
Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped tank as described in the “LP Tank”
section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is
exchanged or relled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open ame to check for gas leaks.
• Griddle must be leak tested outdoors in a
well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources
such as gas red or electrical appliances. During
leak test, keep griddle away from open ames or
sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and
water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas
indicated by arrows in gure below. Leaks are
indicated by growing bubbles.
Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank
1. LP tank must be properly secured onto griddle.
(Refer to assembly section.)
2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel
clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve.
Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.
Do not insert a POL transport
plug (plastic part with external
threads) into the Type 1 tank
valve outlet. It will defeat the
Safety Relief Valve feature.
5. Hold regulator and insert
nipple into LP tank valve.
Hand-tighten the coupling nut,
holding regulator in a straight line
with LP tank valve so as not to
cross thread the connection.
Do not use household cleaning agents.
Damage
to gas valve/hose/regulator components can result.

WARNING
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full
stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in
the LP tank valve, resulting in some resistance.
An
additional one-half to three-quarters turn is
required to complete the connection. Tighten by
hand only – do not use tools.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect
regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable
to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!
Call [phone] for identical replacement parts.
Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator
1. Turn all griddle control knobs to OFF.
2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to
LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning OPD
hand wheel counterclockwise. If you hear a
rushing sound, turn gas o immediately. There
is a major leak at the connection. Correct
before proceeding by calling for replacement
parts at [phone].
4. Brush soapy solution onto areas where
bubbles are shown in picture below:
5.
If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak.
Close LP tank valve immediately and retighten
connections.
If leaks cannot be stopped
do not try to repair. Call for replacement
parts at [phone].
6. Always close LP tank valve after performing
leak test by turning hand wheel clockwise.

DANGER
• Do not insert any tool or foreign objects into the
valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may
damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking
propane may result in explosion, re, severe
personal injury, or death.
• If a leak is detected at any time, STOP and call
the re department.
• If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close
LP tank valve and call LP gas supplier or your
re department!
• Never attempt to attach this grill to the
self-contained LP gas system of a camper trailer
or motor home.
• Do not use grill until leak-tested.
