TROUBLESHOOTING
STORAGE
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death:
· Store your LP gas grill in a cool dry place. Do not
store an LP gas cylinder in a space greater than 125
degrees Fahrenheit. Do not store an LP gas cylinder
in a building ,garage or any enclosed area.
· Do not store an LP gas cylinder indoors (empty or
filled). Disconnect the LP gas cylinder from the gas
grill and store it outdoors out of the reach of children.
The gas grill may then be stored indoors.
· To avoid an explosion, do not leave an LP gas
cylinder inside a vehicle that can become overheated
by the sun.
· Even though your LP gas cylinder may appear to be
empty, gas may still be present and the cylinder
should be transported and stored accordingly.
· Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near
the LP gas grill.
· Always turn off the gas cylinder at the LP cylinder
valve when the gas grill is not in use.
1) Disconnect LP gas cylinder from grill and store outside, in
a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat
or ignition. Re-cap LP cylinder valve with the Safety Cap.
2) Remove Burners and wrap with aluminum foil to prevent
insects from entering the burner holes. Store wrapped
Burners on top of cooking grid.
3) You may wrap the Cooking Grid and Flame Diffusers in
aluminum foil and place inside the Hood or store inside
your dwelling.
4) Place a grill cover over the grill and store the gas grill
outdoors if possible. It may be stored indoors only if the
cylinder or the the natural gas line is disconnected from
the gas grill.
5) Before next use, remove aluminum foil and reinstall
Burners, Flame Diffusers, ceramic briquette trays and
Cooking Grids.
6) Before using the grill after periods of storage or non-use
(i.e. over winter), check your LP gas grill for gas leaks,
deterioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions.
7) Periodically check and tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
