LP GAS CYLINDER
QCC®-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder equipped with the QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling system.
The QCC®-1 system incorporates new safety features required by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
•Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been made.
•A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas between 240° and 300° F.
•When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.

CHECK VALVE
The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill.
Be sure to purchase one with the QCC® valve. This valve is recognized by the external threads on the inlet port of the valve. QCC® equipped cylinders are available from your Gas Grill Dealer.
Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of adapters or any other means, to any other valve could result in damage, fire or injury and may negate the important safety features designed into the QCC®-1 system.
SPECIFICATION:
1.All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP 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; and Commission, as applicable
2.The LP gas cylinder used for this appliance must not have a capacity larger than 20 lb.(9 kg).
Approximately 18" (46cm) high 12" (31cm) diameter
3.All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance should be inspected at every filling and re qualified by a licensed service outlet at the expiry date (10 years), in accordance with the DOT (USA) and CTC (Canada) codes for LP Gas Cylinders.
4.All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be provided with a shutoff valve terminating in a cylinder valve outlet No. 510, specified in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connection (USA) ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977 (Canada) CSA B96.
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
The cylinder must be installed as per assembly instructions.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. A fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
The cylinder valve must include a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapour space of the 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 cylinder securely during transport, use and storage.
4.If the cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and have it checked before using 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.If you intend to store the grill indoors, disconnect and remove the LP gas cylinder first. Disconnected cylinders must have a dust cap installed and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other 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 stored outside in a well 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 gas regulator supplied with the appliance 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".
3.Do not operate appliance if the smell of LP gas is present. Extinguish all flame and determine source of LP gas 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.

OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER HOSE & REGULATOR
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that appliances are to be used with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD).
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the overfilling of propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The OPD causes a slower purge/fill operation. Some consumers have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders are “defective”. This is not a defect. Some propane filling stations may not be aware of this device and its effect on the purge/fill operation.
New OPDs coming onto the market have technology that allows for much greater BTU outputs which will decrease the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.
Identification
To identify these cylinders, the OPD handwheel has been standardized to the shape shown.
All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
1.The QCC® 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.
2.The QCC® coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the QCC® 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.
3.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.
4.Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the base casting of the barbecue.
5.Inspect the seal in the QCC® 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.
6.Inspect the hose before each use of the barbecue. If the hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be operated.
7.For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator assembly, contact customer service at 1-800-265-2150 or info@omcbbq.com
Connection
1. Be sure cylinder valve and appliance valves are "off".

CHECK VALVE
2.Place full LP gas cylinder in LP tank well and secure base as per assembly instructions.
3.Center the nipple in the 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 straight line with the cylinder valve, so as not to cross thread the connection.
4.Leak test connections. See "Leak Testing".
5.Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the Flow
Limiting Device when lighting, open cylinder valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn off cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to reset, open cylinder valve slowly, then open the appliance valve.
