GENERAL WARNINGS

WARNING

LP GAS CYLINDER (NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS GRILL)

The LP cylinder is available for purchase at the same location the grill was purchased.

The LP (Liquid Propane) gas cylinder specifically designed to be used with this grill must have a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity incorporating a Type 1 cylinder valve and an over-filling protection device (OPD).

• This grill is designed to fit Worthington, Manchester or SMPC brand 20 lb. (9.1 kg) cylinders.

Other brand DOT cylinders may fit this grill if the cylinder has similar dimensions of the top and bottom rings.

• DO NOT connect this grill to an existing #510 POL cylinder valve with Left Hand threads. The

Type 1 valve can be identified with the large external threads on the valve outlet.

• DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding this capacity.

• DO NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION:

The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with:

All applicable local codes, or in the absence of local codes, either:

• National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54

• Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1

• Natural Gas Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1 (Canada)

• Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.2 (Canada)

To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company. This grill was not intended to be connected to a natural gas supply line. If an external electrical source is utilized, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA 22.1.

• FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate indoors or in an enclosed area such as a garage, shed

or breezeway.

• Use your grill OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to

prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. We recommend your grill be situated at least 10 feet (3.1 m) from buildings. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper ventilation and may increase the risk of a fire and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury.

• Maintain a minimum clearance of 36 inches (91 cm) between all sides of grill, deck railings, walls or

other combustible material. DO NOT use grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction.

• DO NOT use or install this grill in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boat.

The cylinder must also be equipped with:

• A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.

• A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is obtained.

• An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.

• A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.

• A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

• A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).

• Turn off the cylinder valve when your grill is not in use.

• Handle the tank with care.

• Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.

• Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your grill.

• DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.

• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill.

• Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.

• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity.

• Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on the cylinder and that accompany this product.

• Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill. This could cause excess pressure to be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion, or severe personal injury including death.

Note: PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW AREAS.

PROPER VENTILATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

• Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from obstructions and debris.

• DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. Damage to the back-check could result. A damaged back-check can cause a leak, possibly resulting in explosion, fire, severe bodily harm, or death.

WARNING

DANGER

CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS:

When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas grill, it must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP 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 provided with a listed over-filling prevention device (OPD), and provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.

FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:

• Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.

• New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.

• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.

• Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.

• If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).

INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER ONTO THE GRILL:

1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.

2. Hang the cylinder from the tank hook while aligning the cylinder ring into the tank holder at the bottom of legs.

3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening faces the right side or the front of the grill, and so that the hose is not kinked or damaged.

4. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only when cylinder is at rest in tank holder.

HOSE AND REGULATOR:

Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:

1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a positive connection to the valve has been made.

Note: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any

connection is made or removed.

2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to 150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and dispose of properly. A replacement regulator assembly can be purchased by contacting customer service at 800-527-0717. The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before using your grill again.

3. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device is activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.

WARNING

REGULATOR RESETTING PROCEDURE

1. Turn burner control knobs to "OFF”, turn off the cylinder valve and disconnect regulator from LP gas tank. Wait approximately two minutes.

2. Reattach regulator and slowly turn cylinder valve back on. The flow limiting device will now be reset.
