6. Care And Maintenance
6.1 Care
Regular care of your grill will help keep it operating properly. All maintenance should be done only when the
grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off. Occasionally inspect and tighten hardware that may become loose.
6.2 Cleaning The Venturi Tube
A spider’s nest or wasp’s mud inside the Venturi Tube can block gas ow and can even cause a re at the gas
control valve. Such a re can cause operator injury and serious damage to your grill.
To prevent insect related problems, inspect the Venturi Tube screen cover regularly and remove any dirt.
WARNING!
Do not disassemble or alter the fuel supply system. Improper assembly can result in a hazardous condition.
Seek qualied professional assistance if repairs are required.

7. FAQ and Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a 20lb LP tank?
“You may use a standard 20 lb. LP tank with your Cuisinart Gas Grill, but you will need a conversion hose, such as the
Cuisinart QG-012B or equivalent. These hoses are widely available online, and at most home centers and hardware
stores. [be sure the 20 lb tank you are planning to use is intended for gas grill use, and has an OPD valve]”
Can I use my Cuisinart Gas Grill with natural gas?
“NO. Your Cuisinart Gas Grill is intended for use only with LP (Liquid Propane) gas. Natural Gas is NOT Liquid Propane.
Never use any other fuel source with your grill, as it will create a dangerous situation.”
“Can I add lava rocks, ceramic tiles, or charcoal briquettes to my Cuisinart Gas Grill?”
“NO. Your grill is not intended to operate with these items, and doing so may create an unsafe situation, and will
void your warranty. You may use wood planks or a wood chip “”smoker box”” on top of the cooking grate surface,
but nothing should go under the cooking grate.”
