Before You Begin:

Connecting the Propane Tank:

This grill requires a standard 20 lb (9 kg) LP gas cylinder (not included).

1. Ensure all burner control knobs are in the "OFF" position.

3. Connect the gas regulator hose to the LP cylinder valve. Turn the coupling nut clockwise until it is fully tightened. Do not overtighten.

Leak Testing:

Always perform a leak test before initial use and after every LP cylinder change or if the grill has been moved.

1. Mix a solution of equal parts liquid dish soap and water.
2. Ensure all burner control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Turn on the LP cylinder valve slowly.
4. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections, including the regulator connection to the cylinder, the hose connections to the manifold, and the burner connections.
5. Look for bubbles. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Immediately turn off the gas supply at the cylinder. Retighten the connection and retest. If the leak persists, do not use the grill and contact customer support.
