WARNING! Be aware of flashbacks!
Make sure there is no debris, spiders, small insects, or webs inside the head of the gas cylinder, pressure regulator,
burner(s), burner tube(s), or hose before any connection is made. They can obstruct the gas flow, which could result in
a fire in and around the burner tube. This kind of fire is known as "flashback" and can cause serious damages. Check
and clean (refer to "MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING" on page EN-23.) all the parts of the appliance before assembling it,
to reduce the chance of its occurrence.
GAS TANK CONNECTION
Warning! Risk of damage!
Do not use any strong or abrasive solvents or scouring pads as these can damage the surfaces and leave
scuff marks.
SAFEGUARD 1 - HAND ASSEMBLY
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the "OFF" position.
2. When connecting the regulator/burner valve assembly to the tank valve, turn the large plastic nut clockwise
until it stops.
3. Gas will not flow unless the plastic nut is completely connected.
4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
SAFEGUARD 2 - HAND DISASSEMBLY
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the "OFF" position.
2. Turn the large plastic nut counterclockwise until it is disassembled.
3. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
SAFEGUARD 3 - EXCESS FLOW CONTROL
The regulator assembly incorporates an excess flow device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas flow under
normal conditions yet control excess gas flow. Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow device providing
a low flame and low temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner valve is open, the
surge of pressure will cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the pressure is equalized. This
should occur within 5 seconds.
To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are "OFF."
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Before using a fresh tank of gas, please check leakage around the connection system to make sure there
is no leakage or vapor accumulation in the cabinet. Make sure all openings around side walls are not blocked.
IMPORTANT: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only use 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.
