PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas grill, perform a leak test on the connection between
the regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak test should be
performed a minimum of once a season, as well as:
• before lighting your grill for the first time,
• every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
• after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
• after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.
HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST
Supplies Required:
1 x Bowl ( empty, clean )
1 x Paint Brush ( clean )
Dish Washing Liquid
Water
Procedure:
1. Position the grill in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the grill is cool to the touch, and not in use. Verify that the
regulator value is turned to the OFF position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby.
2. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid in a bowl. The solution will make bubble,
as it will be concentrated.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for
streams of bubbles coming from a defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten
only. Repeat leak test after re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas grill if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test
procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Service for alternative measures of testing to
ensure proper precaution.

DISCONNECTING A GAS CYLINDER

IMPORTANT: When changing or disconnecting a gas cylinder, care must be taken to keep away from any
source of ignition.
1. Ensure the control knob on the grill is completely closed by turning to the OFF position. Turn LP gas cylinder valve to the
CLOSED position, and allow the regulator knob to pop out.
2. Turn the cylinder counter-clockwise (by hand) to disconnect from the regulator valve opening. Replace the protective caps
on the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder for storage (if not empty).
WARNING: Do not transport grill with gas cylinder attached. The cylinder may loosen off the valve, and
cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire, or severe bodily harm. Disconnect gas cylinder
first before travel or storage. If storing the grill indoors, leave the gas cylinder outdoors.

GRILL ENVIRONMENT

1. WHERE TO SET-UP THE GRILL
With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking
time needed to perfect your meals. All Pit Boss® Grills units should keep a minimum clearance of 915mm (36 inches) from
combustible constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must not be
placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible materials, or other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Watch for bubbles
2. COLD WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of grilled
foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:
• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your
grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in
relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!
• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log
or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to
help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.
3. HOT WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill
throughout the hot months:
• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat
from over cooking and drying out.
• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up
newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Before using your grill for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off. Start the grill and operate for a
minimum of 15 minutes on HIGH to burn-off the unit. This will "heat clean" the internal components, dissipate odors and rid it of
any foreign matter.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

1. Verify that all control knobs are turned to the OFF position.
2. Connect LP gas cylinder as per instructions. Turn LP gas cylinder valve to OPEN.
3. Note the indicator marker on the control knob. Push and hold down the control knob on the grill and turn 90 degrees
(or 1/4) counter-clockwise SLOWLY (2 to 3 seconds) to HIGH. You should hear a "click" sound to indicate a spark from the
igniter, and look for flame to ensure the burner is lit. If it does not, repeat up to three times.
4. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure. If the
above points do not work, follow Manual Lighting Procedure instructions .
5. After the burner has caught fire, you are ready to enjoy your grill at your desired temperature!
If the burner goes out during operation, turn the control knobs to the OFF position. Wait five minutes
before attempting to relight to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
