Assembly Instructions

Assembly of the COWSAR 4-Burner BBQ Propane Gas Grill is required. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly guide included with your product. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly. Ensure all parts are identified and oriented correctly before fastening.

• Unpack all components and verify against the parts list.
• Organize hardware (screws, nuts, bolts) as per the assembly guide.
• Follow the step-by-step diagrams carefully. Some parts may not be explicitly labeled, so refer to the illustrations for correct placement.
• Do not overtighten fasteners until instructed, as some adjustments may be needed during assembly.

Note: Assembly can be time-consuming. Allocate sufficient time and work in a clear, open area.

Setup

Connecting the Propane Tank

1. Ensure all burner control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
2. Place the propane tank (not included) securely in the designated storage area beneath the grill.
3. Connect the regulator hose to the propane tank valve. Turn the coupling nut clockwise until it is fully tightened. Do not use tools to tighten; hand-tighten only.
4. Slowly open the propane tank valve fully.

Leak Testing

Perform a leak test before first use and after every tank change.

1. Mix a solution of equal parts liquid dish soap and water.
2. Apply the solution to all gas connections, including the regulator connection to the tank, and the hose connections to the grill.
3. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Immediately close the propane tank valve and tighten the connection. Repeat the leak test. If bubbles still appear, do not use the grill and contact customer support.

Initial Burn-Off

Before cooking food for the first time, perform an initial burn-off to remove any manufacturing oils or residues.

1. Ensure the propane tank is connected and leak-tested.
2. Open the grill lid.
3. Light all main burners according to the "Operating Instructions" section.
4. Close the lid and set all burners to high.
5. Allow the grill to heat for 15-20 minutes. This will burn off any residual manufacturing substances.
6. Turn off all burners and allow the grill to cool completely.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

After Each Use

• Cooking Grates: Once the grill has cooled, brush off any food residue from the porcelain-coated cast iron grates using a grill brush. For stubborn residue, wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
• Grease Tray: The pull-out grease tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent grease fires. Allow the tray to cool, then slide it out, dispose of collected grease, and wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry before reinserting.

Periodic Maintenance

• Exterior Surfaces: Wipe down stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the finish.
• Grill Cover: Use a grill cover when the grill is not in use to protect it from weather elements and prolong its lifespan.
