Prior to lighting your grill,
visually check all hoses
before each use for nicks,
cracking, abrasions or cuts.

before lighting.

LOW HEAT OUTPUT
If the heat output from the burner(s) seems abnormally low.
It may be caused by the regulator flow-limiting device being
activated by a leak in the gas system, or improper lighting
procedures. If this is suspected, shut off the cylinder valve and
all burner valves. Perform a leak test to determine if a leak has
caused the flow-limiting device to activate. If the leak test is
negative, then carefully follow the lighting procedures step-by­
step, ensuring all valves (including tank) are off before starting.
RELIGHTING
If the burner flame goes out when your grill
is in operation, immediately turn off the
control valves. Wait five minutes for the gas
to clear before attempting to relight the
burner. If the problem persists, refer to the
troubleshooting guide
SHUTTING DOWN YOUR GRILL
1. Shut off L.P. cylinder valve or natural gas main shut-off valve.
2. Shut off burner control valves.
This sequence prevents residual gas from being left in the
system under pressure.
