When operating this appliance with a propane-gas cylinder, these instructions and warnings MUST be observed.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
CYLINDER/CONNECTOR REQUIREMENTS
A. Propane-gas cylinders, valves, and hoses must be
maintained in good condition and must be replaced if
there’s visible damage to either the cylinder or valve. If the
hose is cut or shows excessive abrasion or wear, it must
be replaced before using the gas appliance (see e.).
B. This unit,when used with a cylinder, should be connected
to a standard 5-gallon (20lb.) propane-gas cylinder
equipped with an OPD (Overll Prevention Device).
The OPD has been required on all cylinders sold since
October 1, 1998, to prevent overlling.
C. Cylinder dimensions should be approximately 12” (30.5
cm) in diameter and 18” (45.7 cm) high. Cylinders must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specications for Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres, and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods.
D. The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve, and the cylinder supply system must be
arranged for vapor withdrawal.
E. The pressure regulator and hose assembly (Fig. 7-1)
supplied with this outdoor-cooking gas appliance must
be used. Original and replacement pressure regulator
and hose assemblies must be those specied by the
manufacturer for connection with a cylinder connecting
device identied as Type I by the ANSIZ21.58-2005/CGA
1.6-2005(see PARTS LIST for ordering information).
F. The propane-gas cylinder valve must be equipped with a
cylinder connection coupling device, described as Type
I in the standard dened in paragraph e. above. This
device is commonly described as an Acme thread quick
coupler.
G. If the propane-gas cylinder comes with a dust plug, place
the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use.
The use of pliers or a wrench should not be necessary. Only
cylinders marked “propane” may be used.
To disconnect: Turn the hand nut counterclockwise until
detached (Fig. 7-1).
Important: Before using the unit, and after each time the
cylinder is removed and reattached, check the hose for wear
(see a.) and check all connections for leaks. Turn off the unit
valves and open the main cylinder valve, then check
connections with soapy water. Repair any leaks before
lighting the unit.
CAUTION: Always turn the propane cylinder main valve
off after each use, and before moving the unit and cylinder or
disconnecting the coupling. This valve must remain closed
and the cylinder disconnected while the appliance is not in
use, even though the gas ow is stopped by a safety feature
when the coupler is disconnected.
Carefully inspect the hose assembly each time before the
gas is turned on. A cracked or frayed hose should be replaced immediately.
If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be
disconnected and removed. Disconnected cylinders must be
stored outdoors, out of the reach of children, with threaded
valve plugs tightly installed, and must not be stored in a
