3. Connect the other end of the regulator hose to a standard propane cylinder (not included). Hand-tighten firmly.
4. Perform a leak test: Mix a solution of equal parts liquid dish soap and water. Apply the solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. Do not operate the stove if a leak is present.

Place the desired cooking surfaces (grill grates or griddle) onto the stove's cooking area. Ensure they are seated properly over the burners.
