LP Gas Model only:
Connect Regulator with Hose to your LP Gas Tank

Turn all Burner Valves to the OFF position.

Inspect the valve connection port and regulator

assembly for damage or debris. Remove any debris.
Never use damaged or plugged equipment.
Connect the regulator assembly to the tank valve
and HAND TIGHTEN nut clockwise to a full stop.
DO NOT use a wrench to tighten because it could
damage the Quick Coupling Nut and result in a
hazardous condition.

□ Open the tank valve 1/4 to 1/2 (counterclockwise)

turn and use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks before attempting to light your
grill. See "Checking for LP Gas Leaks". If a leak

is found, turn the tank valve off and do not use your
grill until the leak is repaired.

Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks

Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use,
at the beginning of each season, or every time
your LP Gas tank is changed, you must check for
gas leaks. Follow these three steps:

□ Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid

detergent and one part water.

□ Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF

position, then turn the gas ON at source.

□ Apply the soap solution to all gas connections

indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If
bubbles appear in the soap solution the
connections are not properly sealed. Check
each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.

CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use the gas
must be turned off at the tank.

Before

using

this

gas

appliance

read

all

instructions and perform all gas leak-check
procedures

even

if

the

product

was

pre-assembled by the retailer or manufacturer.

If you have a gas leak that cannot be repaired by

tightening, turn off the gas at the source, disconnect
fuel line from your grill and call 1-800-4-IVIY-HOME®
or your gas supplier for repair assistance.

Never disconnect the gas regulator or any gas

fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill can ignite

leaking gas and cause a fire or explosion which

could result in property damage, personal injury
or death.

Disconnecting A Liquid Propane Gas (LPG)

Tank From Your Grill

□ Make sure the Burner Valves and LP Gas tank valve

are off. (Turn clockwise to close.)

Detach the hose and regulator assembly from the

LP Gas tank valve by turning the Quick Coupling
Nut counterclockwise.
