(dampers), adding charcoal, and handling the thermometer or lid.

obstructions before using. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures.

• Should the burner go out at any time during operation, turn tank valve off.
Remove lid and wait five minutes before attempting to relight, using the

and will automatically void your warranty.

while the barbecue is in use.
• Use only the LP gas regulator that is recommended for your barbecue.
• A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your
propane supplier. Do not use an LP tank with a damaged valve.
