WARNING WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate personal injury, or property damage. General Safety Information FOR YOUR SAFETY If you smell gas: 1. Shut off gas to the appliance. 2. Extinguish any open flame. 3. Open lid. 4. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier or your fire department. 5. NEVER use Natural Gas in a unit designed for Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas. FOR YOUR SAFETY 1. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. 2. An L.P. cylinder not connected for use shall NOT be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Contents WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operating and maintenance instruc- tions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment. Liquefied Petroleum gas (abbreviated L.P. gas or propane), is highly flammable. It becomes liquid when stored under high pressure inside a cylinder and vaporizes when released. L.P. gas is heavier than air and tends to collect in low areas. It is important that there are no leaking connections on your gas grill that could cause a fire or explosion (see “LEAK TESTING”, Pg. 9). Portable LP gas grills require a fuel delivery system which is comprised of valves [A], manifold [B], a hose [C], a regulator [D] with vent holes [E], an L.P. gas supply cylinder [F], a Type 1 coupling nut [G] and a Type 1 cylinder valve [H] (Fig. 10). Illustration in Fig. 10 is for description purposes and only shows the right side of the grill. Protect regulator assembly vent holes [E] from freezing rain, rain, snow and water. See Fig. 10 for vent locations. A C D G F H E WARNING Your new barbecue grill is equipped with a Type 1 coupling nut [G]. DO NOT attempt to connect to any other L.P. cylinder not equipped with a mating Type 1 cylinder valve [H]. This grill is not to be used with any other cylinder connection device. Portable L.P. Gas Barbecue Cylinders 10 WARNING A liquid propane tank, not connected for use with this gas barbecue, shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. 4 DANGER • DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage the valve. A damaged valve can cause a leak, which could result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death. WARNING • If the grill is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder(s). • Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. (Fig. 11) Cylinder Specifications • Any L.P. gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be approximately 12 inches diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately 20 pounds of propane. • The maximum weight of a properly filled cylinder will be approximately 38 pounds (47.7 lbs. nominal water capacity). • The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 L.P. gas cylinder valve outlet (see item [H], Fig. 10, pg. 4). L.P. Gas Cylinder E B L.P.Gas Cylinder cont. 11 • A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a back-check valve which does not permit gas flow, until a positive seal has been obtained. • The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of cylinder must be provided. This will expel high pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled or overheated which could result in fire or explosion. • All L.P. gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and shall be provided with a listed overfilling prevention device. • Read labels on the L.P. Gas Supply Cylinder. • New cylinders are always shipped empty for safety. • Allow only qualified L.P. gas dealers to fill or repair your L.P. gas supply cylinder. • Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled. • Caution the gas dealer not to overfill cylinder. • After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief valve remains free to function. CAUTION Have the gas dealer weigh cylinder after filling to ensure that the cylinder is not overfilled. Hose and Regulator The Type 1 connection system has the following features: 1.The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made. NOTE: The cylinder control valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed. 2...
