- Propane Gas Only: Use only propane gas. Do not connect to a natural gas supply.
- Leak Test: Always perform a leak test on gas connections after assembly and before first use, and after any cylinder change.
- Clearance: Maintain minimum clearances from combustible materials: 24 inches from sides and back.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not block openings in the grill cart.

2.2 Propane Tank Connection
Connect the propane tank regulator to the grill's gas inlet. Ensure the connection is tight and secure. Perform a leak test using a soapy water solution on all gas connections. Bubbles indicate a leak.
2.3 Initial Burn-In
Before first use, perform an initial burn-in to remove any manufacturing residues. Ignite all main burners on high for approximately one hour with the lid closed. This process helps to season the grates and prepare the grill for cooking.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Ignition Procedure
To ignite a burner:
- Ensure the gas cylinder valve is open.
- Push in the control knob for the desired burner.
- While holding the knob in, rotate it counter-clockwise to the HIGH position. You should hear a click as the igniter sparks.
- If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the process.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your grill.

4.2 Cleaning Cooking Grates
Clean the cast iron cooking grates after each use. For best results, brush the grates while they are still warm. For stubborn residue, allow them to cool, then wash with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive brush. Ensure grates are dry before storage to prevent rust.
4.3 General Care
Wipe down exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. For stainless steel components, use a stainless steel cleaner to maintain its finish. Cover the grill when not in use to protect it from weather elements.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your grill, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Burner Fails to Ignite:
- Check if the propane tank valve is fully open.
- Ensure gas connections are secure and there are no leaks.
- Verify that the igniter electrode is properly aligned with the burner port.
- Check if the gas regulator is functioning correctly. A faulty regulator may prevent gas flow.
- Uneven Heating:
- Clean burners and grates to remove any blockages.
- Ensure the grill is level.
- Low Flame:
- Check propane tank level.
- Ensure the regulator is not in bypass mode (reset by turning off all burners, closing tank valve, disconnecting regulator, waiting 30 seconds, reconnecting, slowly opening tank valve, then igniting).
For persistent issues or concerns about gas components, contact a qualified service technician.
