DANGER
Failure to follow the Dangers, Warnings and Cautions contained in this Owners Manual may
result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.
WARNINGS
Do not store a spare or disconnected liquid propane cylinder under or near the barbecue.
Improper assembly may be dangerous. Please carefully follow the assembly instructions in this manual.
After a period of storage, and/or nonuse, the MHP Gas Barbecue Grill should be checked for gas leaks and
burner obstructions before use. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures.
Do not operate the MHP Gas Barbecue Grill if there is a gas leak present.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of your MHP Gas
Barbecue Grill.
Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable on, or in the storage area under the barbecue.
Children should never use your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill. Accessible parts of the barbecue may be very hot.
Keep young children away while it is in use.
You should exercise reasonable care when operating your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill. It will be hot during
cooking or cleaning and should never be left unattended, or moved while in operation.
Should the burners go out while in operation, turn all gas valves off. Open lid and wait five minutes before
attempting to relight, using the lighting instructions.

Never lean over open grill or place hands or fingers on the front edge of cooking box.
Do not enlarge the valve orifices or burner ports when cleaning the valves or burners.
The MHP Gas Barbecue Grill should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in a liquid propane
unit or liquid propane gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty.
Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.
Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating barbecue.
LIQUID PROPANE GAS UNITS ONLY
Use the regulator that is supplied with your MHP Gas Barbecue Grill.
Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator or any gas fitting while your barbecue is in operation.
A dented or rusty propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your local liquid propane
supplier. Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve.
Although your liquid propane cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present, and the propane
cylinder should be transported and stored accordingly.
If you see, smell or hear the hiss of escaping gas from the liquid propane cylinder:
1. Move away from the liquid propane cylinder.
2. Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3. Call your fire department.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This installation guide provides you with easy to fol-
low illustrations and instructions to assemble your
MHP Gas Barbecue Grill.
Before you start assembling and using your MHP
Gas Barbecue Grill we recommend that you read
through all precautions, safe guards and instruc-
tions to avoid any personal injury or property
damage.
Check Local Codes. Contact your local LP dealer or
Natural Gas company for recommended installation
procedures and regulations. If there are no local
codes, installation must conform to the latest National
Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1. For Canada, installa-
tion must comply with local codes and/or Standard
CAN/CGA-B-149-1 for natural gas installation and
CAN/CGA- B-149-2 for propane installation.
For LP Gas Models the supplied Gaslow GS-801
Regulator must be used. Any replacement pressure
regulator or hose assembly must meet or exceed the
specifications of the Gaslow GS-801 Regulator.
For Natural Gas Models the grill is designed to oper-
ate at a pressure of 7 water column (W.C.) (1.75
kPa). Check your gas utility for local pressure. Pres-
sures other than approximately 7 W.C. could affect
the performance of your grill.

OPERATING SAFEGUARDS
General Instructions
SAFETY
YOUR GRILL IS DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
It should also not be used in an enclosed area such as a shed
or garage because combustion uses available oxygen and
discharges carbon monoxide.
The grill must be located no closer than 24" from any
combustible surface behind or to the sides. Grill should not be
located under overhead unprotected combustible surfaces.
Keep the area around the grill clear of combustible materials,
flammable vapors or liquids such as gasoline.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
