ALWAYS follow the gas grill manufacturer's instructions for assembly and operation. If you have misplaced the grill manufacturer's written set of instructions, contact them to obtain another set. BE SURE that the gas cylinder used with your grill is designed to store propane. Check with your local propane gas supplier before filling should you have any questions.Transport, store, and use your propane gas cylinder(s) in an upright position ONLY The cylinder service valve outlet must be plugged or capped whenever the cylinder is not connected to the grill.Use gas grills outdoors ONLY. Use and store propane cylinder(s) outdoors ONLY. DO NOT use your gas grill close to the side of the house or structure and NEVER under any surface that will burn, such as a carport. |

DO NOT store a spare cylinder under or near the grill or in the garage, due to exposure to higher temperatures. |
Grill Cleaning Tips
| 1. |
To keep dust and grime from baking during the grilling process, wipe off anything that has accumulated on the hood before turning on the grill. |
| 2. |
Put peanut oil in a spray bottle, then spray the grates of the grill before turning on the heat. Peanut oil will not burn off the grates as easily as other oils. In addition, it will not only prevent food from sticking to the grates, but it will also make cleanup easier.As soon as you pull food off the grill, scrape the grates with a long-handled, brass-wire bristle brush (can be purchased at most hardware stores). Spray the grates again with peanut oil. Brass bristles are important because they are made of a soft material that won't scratch the grates, especially if the grates are coated with a nonstick surface. A metal grate scraper will scratch the grates. To keep a grill looking new, wash it once a month with warm soap and water or a non-abrasive household cleanser, then spray a small amount of silicone lubricant on the housing. Wipe off the excess with a cloth. This will keep a shine on the housing. Also, cover it with a grill cover when it is not in use. If the grill gets too greasy, use a nontoxic degreaser to clean the grates and housing.Barbecue sauce or dipping sauces that contain sugar and tomato should be put on toward the very end of cooking or after the food is removed from the grill. |
| 3. |
When you cook something, let it sear before you flip it over during the cooking process. If you turn it too soon, it will leave a residue on the grill. |
