GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

The grill is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column (WC) and
is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas
cylinder, to the dimensions of 18-1/4" (46.35 cm) high, 12-1/4"(31 cm) diameter. Contact your gas supplier for a special regulator
for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used. The
replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.

INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER

1. Make sure the gas cylinder valve is in the CLOSED position.
• From the side of the cart, place foot ring of gas cylinder
onto the gas cylinder bracket. Note Fig. A.
• Use the gas cylinder wire retainer to secure the gas
cylinder in a fixed position. Note Fig. B.
2. On all units, it is important to ensure the gas cylinder is
completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the
gas cylinder is not installed properly.
3. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by
turning the knob clockwise to the "O" position.
4. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening
and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps. Check the gas
cylinder to assure it has proper external male threads (type 1
connection per ANS Z21.81).
5. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the
regulator valve. Turn the quick coupling nut clockwise until
firm. Hand-tighten only. Note Fig. C.
6. Gas cylinder is now installed.
The outdoor grill, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes
with the National Electrical Code ANS/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
3. If the information in 1) and 2) is not followed exactly a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
4. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
5. The LP gas cylinder used must have a collar to protect the gas cylinder valve.
6. Always keep the LP cylinder at 90 degrees (upright) orientation to provide vapor withdrawl.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low
volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise
is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill.
