absence of local codes:
•
Canadian installation must conform to the current national standards, which at this time
are CAN/CGA-B149.1/2-Natural Gas/Propane installation code.
Drawing A
Minimum clearance to adjacent combustible materials:
•
76 cm (30˝ ) from furthest protruding edge on side of barbecue.
•
76 cm (30˝ ) from furthest protruding edge on back of barbecue.
See Drawing A
•
Always keep the area around this barbecue clean and clear of any and all combustible
materials such as gasoline or other inflammable liquids, paper or oily rags.
•
Do not operate this barbecue under any overhanging or unprotected construction.
•
Remember this barbecue is for outdoor use only and is not for use on any boat or
recreational vehicle.
•
Use this barbecue outdoors in a well-ventilated area and at least
3 m (10’) from any dwelling or other building.
•
Do not use in garages, or any other enclosed area.
•
Do not leave your barbecue unattended while in operation.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the barbecue.
•
Do not use while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
•

USE OF LP GAS CYLINDER
Self-contained
Propane Gas System
The self-contained (propane) gas system barbecue is designed to be used with only a 9.1 kg
(20 lb) propane cylinder equipped with a type-1 cylinder valve. This barbecue cannot be
connected to an existing #510 P.O.L. type valve cylinder (which has left-handed threads).
Do not connect to a propane gas cylinder exceeding 9.1kg capacity or use a cylinder
with any other type of cylinder valve connection device.
The Type-1 valve can easily be recognized by the large external thread on the outside of the
valve. Older existing valves do not have this outer external thread. Any attempt to connect
a regulator to any connector other than the mating Type-1 connector (which comes with a
large, black coupling nut such as the #510 P.O.L.) could result in fires, injuries or property
damage, and could reduce the effectiveness of the important safety features built into the
Type-1 system. Also connecting the #510 P.O.L. fitting to the cylinder will negate the flow
control and the temperature shut-off features built into the new Type-1 connection system.
•
The cylinder should not exceed 472 mm (18 1/2˝ ) in height and
317 mm (12 1/2˝ ) in diameter.
When purchasing a cylinder for your barbecue, it must be constructed and marked
as meeting the specifications of:
•
Canada: Transport Canada.
Minimum clearance of 76 cm (30”)
on both sides and back of the barbeque.
2
FILLING THE
LP CYLINDER
The cylinder must be filled prior to use and must have the air purged. For safety, follow
these instructions when having your cylinder filled:
•
Have only your local qualified LP gas dealer fill or repair a cylinder.
•
Do not overfill the cylinder beyond the safe 80% fill level.
•
Make sure the dealer tests and checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.
WARNING
If the above instructions are not completely adhered to,
it could cause a fire/explosion, resulting in death or serious Injury,
or property damage.
The Cylinder must also be equipped with:
•
A shut-off valve with a correct cylinder valve outlet as specified in current standards.
•
Canada: CAN/CGA 1.6g-M97 Outdoor Gas Grilles.
a) A safety relief valve with direct connection to the vapour space of the cylinder.
b) A collar to protect the tank shut-off valve.
c) A device for vapour withdrawal.
d) A ring on the bottom to secure the tank to its support assembly.
•
Always turn off the cylinder valve completely when the barbecue is not in use.
•
Always handle the tank valve with utmost care.
•
Never connect an unregulated L.P. gas cylinder to the barbecue.
•
Always keep the cylinder, in use, securely fastened in an upright position.
•
Never store a spare cylinder, empty or full,
near or under the barbecue when in operation.
•
Never expose the cylinders to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
•
Never insert any kind of object into the valve outlet as this may damage the backcheck;
a backcheck that is damaged can leak, and a leaking propane cylinder can result in fires
or explosions, property damage, severe injuries or death.
TRANSPORTATION
AND STORAGE
OF THE LP CYLINDER
The propane cylinder is totally safe when handled properly, but if misused, the result could
be an explosion or fire resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
To Avoid Unnecessary Risks
•
Always recap the cylinder with the cap provided when not connected to the barbecue.
•
Do not store the cylinder in any enclosed area such as a garage, and make sure the
storage area has lots of ventilation.
•
Do not store the cylinder near any appliances, or in any areas that may become hot,
such as the trunk of a vehicle.
•
Make sure the cylinder is out of reach of children.
•
When transporting or storing the cylinder, make sure it is in an upright position and
not on its side.
•
Do not smoke around the cylinder, especially when transporting it in a vehicle.

PRIOR TO USING
Drawing E
DO NOT USE YOUR BARBECUE UNTIL YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND FULLY UNDER-
STAND ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL. PLEASE ENSURE THE FOLLOWING:
•
Your barbecue is properly assembled.
•
There are no leaks in the system (see “Leak Test”).
•
The burner is properly assembled, with the Venturi tubes seated over the valve outlets
(Drawing E) and that there is nothing blocking the Venturi tubes (Drawing F).
•
Ensure that all power cords and/or gas supply hoses
will not touch or be near surfaces that will get hot.
•
The barbecue is in a safe location (see Installation).
Ensure that the valve outlets (orifices) are assembled into the Venturi tubes approximately
6 mm (1/4˝ ) and that the valve outlets and Venturi tubes are approximately parallel to the
bottom of the lower body.
Insert valve outlets into Venturi tubes
approximately 6 mm (1/4”)
Orifice Size: The orifice, in conjunction with the control valve, acts to regulate and restrict
the amount of gas delivered to the burner. The hole size in the orifice varies by the gas sup-
ply pressure and by the BTU rating of the burner. Grills equipped for LP gas operate at a
much higher gas pressure and therefore have a smaller size orifice.
Hose and Regulator Inspection
Adjustment: The regulator is factory set at a specified outlet pressure of 11” of water column
and is generally factory sealed and not adjustable. Do not try to adjust. The regulator can be
checked by measuring the pressure with a manometer.
Vent Hole: There is a vent hole on top of the regulator. Check that it is clear of dirt and
debris. If the hole is plugged, erratic and dangerous burning may result.
O-ring Seal: Before attaching the regulator to the cylinder, inspect the rubber O-ring on
the P.O.L. fitting. Do not operate the grill if the O-ring is damaged or missing. Seal damage
is common and we recommend replacement of the seal when the burner is replaced or
when the seal is damaged. Cracks, splits or distortion will allow gas to escape. Additionally,
the seal should be soft, pliable, and protrude slightly from the brass P.O.L. valve.
Chew Marks: The hose should be kept clean of grease and food drippings which attract
squirrels and other animals. The animals will often eat the drippings on the hose and chew
into the hose lining trying to get the last taste. Try cleaning the hose with an ammonia
cleaner solution to minimize the attration.

WARNING
Natural Hazards
Insects and Spiders
During shipment or storage, it’s possible that small insects like spiders could
find their way into the Venturi tubes and nest or make webs. This could block
the flow of gas through the Venturi tube causing a smoky yellowish flame, or
prevent a burner from lighting. It could even cause the gas to burn outside the
Venturi tube, which could seriously damage your barbecue. If these occur, turn
off the gas flow and wait for the barbecue to cool down. When the barbecue
has cooled, remove the burner and clean out the Venturi tubes with a brush or
pipe cleaner. Replace the burner and ensure that the Venturi tubes are seated
over the orifice located on the gas valves. Cleaning the Venturi tubes should be
conducted periodically, especially at the start of the season.
Note: Damage resulting from blocked Venturi tubes is not covered under
the warranty.

SAFETY HOSE
AND REGULATOR
Propane Gas Models: Your barbecue is designed to operate on L.P. (Propane) gas at a
pressure of 2.74 Kpa (11˝ water column). A regulator preset to this pressure is supplied
with the barbecue and must be used.
This regulator is equipped with the Type-1 quick-closing connecting system, which incor-
porates these safety features:
•
Will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been made.
•
Has a thermal component that will automatically shut off
the flow of gas between 115-150ºC (240-300ºF).
•
Has a flow limiting feature, which will restrict the flow of gas
to 10 cubic feet/hour.
Should the large, black thermal-sensitive coupling nut be exposed to any extreme temper-
atures above 115ºC it will soften and allow the regulator probe to disengage from the
valve, and will shut off the gas. Should this occur, do not try to reconnect the nut; instead
replace the whole regulator assembly with a new one (see the attached parts listing for
details). The regulator probe also contains a flow-sensitive feature, which limits the flow of
gas to 10 cubic feet/hour, in the event of a regulator malfunction or hose leak. If the flow
control feature is activated, the cause of this excessive gas flow should be investigated and
corrected before using the barbecue again.
Note: Improperly lighting the barbecue can activate the flow control feature,
resulting in lower heat output. If this occurs, the re-flow feature must be reset by
turning all the burner controls and the cylinder valve off. Wait at least 30 seconds
before slowly turning on the cylinder valve, and then after another 5 seconds turn
the burner valve on and light the barbecue.
•
Never connect this barbecue to an unregulated propane gas supply, or to another kind
of gas. Do not alter or change the hose or regulator in any way.
•
Visually inspect the whole hose assembly before each use for evidence of wear or
damage such as cracks, burns, or cuts. If any damage is found, replace the
assembly before using the barbecue. Use only the recommended replacement hose.
•
To avoid possible damage to the hose, do not allow any grease or other hot materials
to fall on the hose, and make sure the hose does not contact any hot surfaces of
the barbecue.
•
The connection fitting must be protected when it’s disconnected from the cylinder.
Do not allow the fitting to bump or drag on the ground as nicks and scratches could
help create a leak when connecting back to the cylinder.
•
It is important to do the “Leak Test” procedure every time a cylinder is refilled
or any of the components are changed, and especially at the beginning of a
new season.

SAFETY
LEAK TESTING
Perform a “Leak Test”
•
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time.
•
Every time the cylinder is refilled, or any component is replaced.
•
At least once every year, preferably at the start of the season.
The “Leak Test” must be done outdoors, away from heat, open flames and flammable liquids.
Do not smoke while performing the test. Use only a mixture of 50/50 liquid soap and water
for leak testing. Never use a match or open flame.
The Following Must Be Checked
•
The tank valve including the threads into the tank (Drawing C).
•
All tank welds (Drawing B).
•
Regulator fittings and tank connections (Drawing C).
•
All hose connections (Drawing D).
•
With a newly filled and tested propane tank attached to the
barbecue and all the barbecue controls turned “OFF”, slowly open
the cylinder valve one full turn.
•
Using a brush and soap, soak all the connections and components
listed above and shown in drawings B, C, D.
•
Look carefully for bubbles forming, which is an indication of leaking gas.
•
Tighten the connections at the bubbled areas until re-testing shows no
indication of any leaks (shut off cylinder while correcting any leaks).
•
Shut off the cylinder valve and ensure all control valves are off.
•
Do not use the barbecue if any leaks cannot be stopped. Turn off the
gas cylinder valve, remove the gas cylinder and seek assistance from
a qualified gas appliance service mechanic or gas dealer.
WARNING
If the heat output is too low, the flow control feature may have been
activated by a gas leak. If so, turn off the burner valve and cylinder valve,
and perform the “Leak Test”. If there aren’t any leaks, re-light the burner.
To Reset The Gas Regulator Safety Device
1. Close the LP (propane) tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4. Open the grill lid.
5. Open all of the control knobs to the high position.
6. Wait 2 minutes.
7. Close all of the control knobs.
8. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank. Test for leaks.
9. With lid open, turn the left burner control knob to the”HIGH”position
and then ignite the grill by turning Rotary ignitor clockwise.
10. Once lit, close the grill lid.
11. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes for the Barbecue to preheat.
ATTENTION: Proper start up and shut down procedures should be Followed to
avoid regulator safety device activation.

LIGHTING
THE GRILL
Make sure you have followed all the safety checks, procedures and instructions
indicated in the previous section, before attempting to light the grill.
Lighting The Main Burners
1. Always open the hood completely and always inspect the grill and burners to confirm
that all components are properly positioned before lighting the main burners.
2. Always confirm that all of the burner control knobs are in the OFF position before
opening the gas supply.
3. Slowly turn on the propane gas supply valve at the tank 1-2 turns.
4. Wait approximately 5 seconds before turning the selected burner control to the
HIGH position by pushing down on the knob and turning it counter-clockwise.
This procedure allows pressure to stabilize, and prevents the flow limiting feature
from being activated.
5. Press the Electronic ignition button located on the front control panel. As you press the
ignitor you will hear a continuous click as the module generates an ignition spark to
the burner. The selected burner should light within 5 seconds. Light all other burners
sequentially from left to right.
WARNING
Never stand with your head directly over the Barbecue when preparing
to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.
WARNING
IF THE SELECTED BURNER DOES NOT LIGHT,
immediately turn the burner control knob and cylinder valve to the OFF
position, to prevent gas buildup. Wait five minutes for the gas to
clear and then repeat the preceding starting procedure. IF the burner will
not light when using the Ignitor, follow the match lighting instructions.
