5. Setup

Before operating your grill, ensure it is set up correctly and safely.

1. Unfold the Grill: Place the grill on a firm, level outdoor surface. Release the locking mechanisms and unfold the cart until it is fully extended and stable.

3. Perform Leak Check: Mix a solution of equal parts liquid dish soap and water. With the propane cylinder connected and the grill valve closed, open the cylinder valve. Apply the soapy solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close the cylinder valve immediately and tighten connections. Repeat the leak check. If leaks persist, do not use the grill and contact customer support.

6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective grilling:

1. Pre-heating: Open the lid. Ensure the propane cylinder is connected and its valve is open. Turn the control knob to the "HIGH" position. Press and hold the push-button igniter until the burner lights. Once lit, close the lid and allow the grill to preheat for 10-15 minutes. The built-in thermometer on the porcelain-enameled lid will indicate the internal temperature.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your grill, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Burner Not Lighting:
  • Check if the propane cylinder is empty or improperly connected.
  • Ensure the cylinder valve is fully open.
  • Verify the igniter is sparking. If not, check the igniter electrode and wire connections.
  • Perform a leak check.
• Low Heat or Uneven Flame:
  • Check for low propane supply.
  • Inspect the burner ports for blockages and clean if necessary.
  • Ensure the regulator is not in bypass mode (often caused by opening the cylinder valve too quickly). Close all valves, wait 30 seconds, then slowly open the cylinder valve fully, then open the grill control knob.
• Grease Fire:
  • Immediately turn off the gas supply.
  • Keep the lid closed to smother the flames.
  • Do NOT use water to extinguish a grease fire.
  • Clean the grease tray regularly to prevent recurrence.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Feasto customer support.
