LP GAS CYLINDER
HANDLING
1.
Government regulations prohibit shipping full LP gas
cylinders. You must take your new cylinder to a LP gas
dealer for filling.
2. A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure.
Always handle carefully and transport in the upright
position. Protect the valve from accidental damage.
3. Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the
regulator. Fasten the LP gas cylinder securely during
transport, use and storage.
4. If the LP gas cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the
regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and
have it checked before using it again.
STORAGE
1.
Store the LP gas cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated
place.
2.
Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight, near
a source of heat or combustion.
3.
Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder in an enclosure.
Disconnected cylinders must have a dust cap installed
and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
enclosed area.
4.
Keep out of the reach of children.
5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill,
the gas grill and LP gas cylinder must be operated
outside in a properly ventilated place.
OPERATION
1.
Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas cylinder
without the regulator provided, and NEVER TO AN
UNREGULATED LP GAS SUPPLY. The regulator
supplied with the barbecue must be used.
2.
Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator
connection when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the
appliance. See "Leak Testing" (page 13).
3. Do not operate appliance if the smell of LP gas is
present. Extinguish all flame and determine source of LP
gas leak before proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance
until the LP gas leak has been found and sealed.
4. Always shut off LP gas cylinder valve when the
appliance is not in use.
HOSE & REGULATOR
1. LP gas grills are equipped with a hose and regulator
with a QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
2. The QCC®-1 coupling contains a magnetic Flow
Limiting Device which will limit the flow of gas should
there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance
valve. This device will activate if the cylinder valve is
opened while the appliance valves are open. Be sure
the appliance valves are off before the cylinder
valve is opened to prevent accidental activation.
3. The QCC®-1 coupling incorporates a heat sensitive
hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the
QCC®-1 cylinder valve to close when exposed to
temperatures between 240° and 300°F. Should this occur,
do not attempt to reconnect the hand wheel. Remove
hose/regulator assembly and replace with a new one.
4. The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC
(water column) and is for use with LP gas only. The
hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard
CAN 1.83. No modifications or substitutions should be
attempted.
5. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not
allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the
base casting of the barbecue.
6. Inspect the seal in the QCC®-1 cylinder valve when
replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year
whichever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is
any indication of cracks, creases, or abrasion.
7. Inspect the hose before each use. If the hose is
cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the
appliance must not be operated.
8. For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator
assembly, contact customer service.
CONNECTION
1. Be sure LP gas cylinder valve and appliance valves are
"OFF."
2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP gas cylinder well and
secure as per assembly instructions.
3. Center the nipple in the LP gas cylinder valve and hold
in place. Using other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise
until there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand
tighten only. When making the connection, hold the
regulator in a parallel with the LP gas cylinder valve,
so as not to cross thread the connection.
4. Leak test connections. See "Leak Testing" (Pages 13).
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating
the Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open LP gas
cylinder valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If
the Flow Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn
off LP gas cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10
seconds to allow the device to reset, open the LP gas
cylinder valve slowly, then open the appliance valve.
DISCONNECTION
Always close LP gas cylinder valve and remove coupling nut
before moving LP gas cylinder from specified operation
position.
