BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to 
consider before you use your grill. Please be sure that:
•  All packing materials and tie-downs have been 
removed from the burners. (See INDEX: “Unpacking & 
Assembly” for further details.)
• You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” 
for further details.) 
• You have electric connected. (See INDEX: “Electric 
Requirements” for further details.)
• A qualifi ed plumber has performed a leak test on all the 
fi ttings that supply fuel to your grill.
• IF YOUR GRILL DOES NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SECONDS you 
may need to purge the line. (See INDEX: “Purging the Gas 
Line” 
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new grilling season you should remove 
the grilling racks and check the burners, venturis, orifi ces 
and valves for obstructions. 
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the grill and 
can disrupt air fl ow, causing damage to the grill and personal 
injury.
Also, check all hoses and fi ttings for damage, abrasion, wear 
and tear.

RILL
1.  Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas.
2.  Always keep the lid open (side-burner lids must be completely removed) when lighting your grill.
3.  Releasing fuel into a closed grill before lighting will increase the risk of explosion, property damage, personal 
injury or death.
4.  Keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting. Any time a burner doesn’t light within 5 
seconds, turn o  the control, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
5.  YOU NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
