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".

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.

LEAK TESTING

VENTURI TUBES

All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas fitting.

AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:

•TEST ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE USING YOUR GAS BARBECUE.

•TEST THE CYLINDER VALVE FOR LEAKS EACH TIME THE CYLINDER IS FILLED.

•TEST FOR LEAKS EVERY TIME YOU CONNECT A GAS FITTING.

•DO NOT SMOKE!

•NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A LIGHTED MATCH OR OPEN FLAME.

•TEST FOR LEAKS OUTDOORS.

TO TEST FOR LEAKS:

1.Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.

2.Be sure that cylinder valve and appliance valves are "off".

3.Connect LP gas cylinder. See "Hose and Regulator".

4.Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.

5.With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder slowly.

6.Brush the soap solution on each connection.

If your barbecue is equipped with a side burner or rear burner:

a.Place finger tip over the opening in the orifice at the end of hose.

b.Turn "SIDE"/"REAR" control to "HI".

c.Brush soap solution on each connection between orifice and control valve.

d.Turn "SIDE"/"REAR" control to "OFF".

7.A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.

8.If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder "shut-off" valve, tighten the connection and retest (Step 5).

9.If the leak persists, contact your barbecue dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate appliance if a leak is present.

•KEEP VENTURI TUBES CLEAN.

•Blockages caused by spiders insects and nests can cause a flashback fire.

Although the barbecue might still light, the backed up gas might also ignite and cause a fire around the venturi tubes at the control panel or side burner.

OPERATION

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Burn-off. Before cooking on your gas barbecue for the first time, burn off the barbecue to rid it of any odours or foreign matter as follows:

Remove cooking grids and warming rack and wash in mild soap and water. Ignite the burner. Close the lid and operate the barbecue for 20 minutes with the control knobs set at "MEDIUM/HIGH". Turn the gas off at the source. Turn the control knobs to "Off". Let the appliance cool down, replace the grids. You are now ready to use the appliance.

Preheating. When grilling, preheat the barbecue on Medium/High with the lid closed for ten minutes. Reduce heat as appropriate for what you are grilling. Scrub grids with a wire grill brush and brush or spray the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking.

Lid Position. The position of the lid during cooking is a matter of personal preference, but the barbecue cooks faster, uses less gas, and controls the temperature best with the lid closed. A closed lid also imparts a smokier flavor to meat cooked directly on the grid, and is essential for smoke and convection cooking.

Vapourization Systems. Your gas grill is designed for use with the Flav-R-Wave™ vapourization system (included). Do not use lava rock, ceramic briquets or any other vapourization system other than the one that came with the barbecue.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

High Setting will produce temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 600 - 650°F (320 - 340° C). Use this setting only for fast warm-up and for burning food residue from the cooking grids after the cookout is over. This setting is also ideal for quickly searing steaks before reducing temperature. Rarely, if ever, do you use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.

Medium/High Setting will produce temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 550°F (290 ° C). Use this setting for warm-up and for grilling steaks and chops,

Medium Setting will produce temperatures inside the barbecue of approximately 450° F (230°C) with the lid down. Use this setting for most grilling of chicken, burgers, vegetables and for roasting, and baking.

Low Setting will produce temperatures inside the barbecue of approximately 310350° F (155-175° C). Use this setting for all smoke cooking, large cuts of meat, delicate fish, and for dough and pastry such as pizza and quesadillas.

These temperatures are approximate only and vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind present.

DIRECT GRILLING

The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on grids directly over the flame. Direct grilling is the most popular method for most single serving items such as steaks, chops, fish, burgers, kebabs and vegetables.

1.Prepare food in advance to avoid delay and timing problems. If using marinade or spices, they should be applied before placing meat on the cooking grid. If basting with sauces, they should be applied the last 2-4 minutes of grilling to avoid burning.

2.Organize the area around the barbecue to include forks, tongs, oven mitts, sauces and seasonings, to allow you to stay in the vicinity of the barbecue while cooking.

3.Bring meat to room temperature just prior to grilling. Trim excess fat from meat to minimize the "flare-ups" that are caused by dripping grease.

4.Pre-heat the barbecue to the desired temperature with the cover closed.

5.Coat the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking to the grids.

6.Hold the salt when cooking meats on the barbecue. The meat will stay juicier if the salt is added after cooking.

7.To prevent steaks from "drying out", use tongs rather than a fork and start on "MEDIUM/HIGH" to sear the meat and seal the juices in. Reduce the heat and extend cooking times when grilling thicker cuts of meat.

8.Learn to test when the meat is done by time and feel. The meat firms up as it cooks. When the meat is soft it is rare. When it is firm, it is well done.

9.Follow the perfect steak grilling guide for most meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.

INDIRECT CONVECTION COOKING

This method is ideal for cooking large cuts of meat such as roasts or poultry with or without a rotisserie. The food is cooked by hot air circulating around it.

1.For most applications of convection cooking with and without a rotisserie, a drip pan is recommended to catch the drippings. Place drip pan on top of the Flav- R-Wave, beneath centre of food. Put half to one inch of water in the drip pan. Fruit juice, wine or a marinade may also be added to enhance the flavour. Do not let the drip pan run dry.

2.In most cases convection cooking with and without a rotisserie is best with the cover closed and the heat reduced. All burners can be set to low or the outside burners can be set to medium and the middle burner(s) can be turned off. Turning the center burner off will prevent juices in the drip pan from burning.

3.Prior to placing the meat on the barbecue, baste the meat with vegetable oil. This will enhance the browning on the outside of the meat.

4.When cooking without a drip pan, close attention must be paid to avoid the risk of grease fire and is not recommended.

5.Use oven mitts when working around the barbecue to avoid injury.

6.Turn barbecue off and allow it to cool before removing drip pan. The fat drippings are highly flammable and must be handled carefully to avoid injury.

7.For convection cooking roasts and poultry without a rotisserie, place meat in a roasting rack directly on the grids.

When using rotisserie burner, set heat at Med. / High.

ROTISSERIE COOKING

Follow the steps for Indirect Convection Cooking above.

1.The rotisserie can accommodate up to 7 kg (15lb) of meat with the limiting factor of rotating clearance. For best results the meat should be centered on

the center line of spit to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.

2.The rotisserie can be used with the cooking grids in place if space allows.

3.Fasten the meat securely on the spit prior to placing it on the barbecue. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in tightly to avoid contact with drip pan.

Rear Burner Rotisserie

Certain models feature a rear burner for rotisserie cooking. The rear burner rotisserie method is the ultimate for cooking roasts and poultry. With the heat source located behind the food, there is no chance of a flare up caused by fat drippings. Cook with confidence knowing you will get perfect results every time. A dish or drip pan placed below the spit will collect the juices for basting or for preparing a sauce.

The spring loaded rear burner may be easily removed when not in use.

To operate your rear burner, follow the lighting directions on page 6.
