4.3 Propane Gas Connection

The grill is compatible with both 1lb propane cylinders and 20lb propane tanks. A gas valve and hose are included for both options.

1. Ensure all burner control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
2. For a 1lb cylinder: Screw the cylinder directly onto the gas connector on the side of the grill until hand-tight.
3. For a 20lb tank: Connect the provided hose and regulator assembly to the gas connector on the grill, then connect the other end to the 20lb propane tank. Ensure all connections are tight.
4. Perform a leak test: Apply a soapy water solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten connections or replace faulty parts. Do not use the grill if a leak is detected.

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your grill and ensure optimal performance.

6.1 Cleaning the Cooking Grates

2. For a deeper clean, remove the grates once cooled and wash with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinstalling.

The removable grease tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent grease buildup and potential flare-ups.

1. Ensure the grill is completely cool.
2. Slide out the grease tray from the front of the grill.

4. Reinsert the clean grease tray.

Wipe down exterior stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the finish.

6.4 Storage

When not in use, especially for extended periods:

• Ensure the grill is clean and dry.
• Disconnect the propane cylinder/tank.
