DANGER

• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the appliance or in an enclosed area.

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.

• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.

• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.

LP Cylinder Removal, Transport and Storage

• Turn OFF control knob and LP cylinder valve. Turn

coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to disconnect. Install safety cap onto LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

LP Cylinder

• The LP cylinder used with your Outdoor Stove Top

must meet the following requirements:

• Purchase LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12” (30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.) Capacity maximum.

• Be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinder of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). See LP cylinder collar for marking.

• LP cylinder valve must have:

• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only

cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

• LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include collar to protect LP cylinder valve.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For your safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

LP Cylinder Valve

• A disconnected LP cylinder in storage or being transported must have a safety cap installed (as shown).

• Do not store an LP cylinder in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP cylinder inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.

• Do not store LP cylinder in an area where children play.

• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.

• Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.

Retainer Strap

Dust Cap

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP Cylinder Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP dealer must purge cylinder before filling.

• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by temperature.

• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.

• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.

WARNING

If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP cylinder. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP dealers.

LP Cylinder Exchange

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder

only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the “LP Cylinder” section of this manual.

• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.

• Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders

BEFORE connecting to appliance.

LP Cylinder Leak Test

For your safety

• Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is exchanged or refilled.

• Do not smoke during leak test.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

Connecting Regulator To The LP Cylinder

1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto appliance.

2. Turn control knob to OFF position.

3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel

clockwise to a full stop.

4. Remove protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve.

OPD Hand Wheel

Type 1 outlet with thread on outside

Safety Relief Valve

Strap and Cap

Do not use a POL transport plug (A) (plastic part with external threads)! It

will defeat the safety feature of the valve.

5. Hold regulator, insert nipple (B) into LP cylinder valve. Hand tighten coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line (C) with LP cylinder valve so as not to cross thread the connection.

• Appliance must be leak checked outdoors in a well ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep appliance away from open flames or sparks.

Use a clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water solution. Use mild soap and water. s Do not use Household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train components can result.

Brush soapy solution onto the shaded areas.

Nipple has to be centered into the LP cylinder valve.

WARNING

Do not attempt to repair or alter the hose/valve/regulator for any “assumed” defect. Any modification to this assembly will void your warranty and create the risk of a gas leak and fire. Use only authorized replacement parts supplied by manufacturer.

6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise to tighten to a full

solid stop. The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in LP cylinder valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to three

quarters turn is required to complete connection. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.

NOTE:

If you cannot complete connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not use this

Regulator!

Hold coupling nut and regulator as shown for proper connection to LP cylinder valve.

WARNING

Leak Testing Valve, Hose and Regulator

1. Turn control knob to OFF.

2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP cylinder.

3. Completely open LP cylinder valve by turning hand

wheel counter clockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding.

4. Brush soapy solution on areas where bubbles are shown.

5. “If growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP cylinder valve immediately and re-tighten connections. If leaks cannot be stopped “do not try to repair”. Call for replacement parts. Order new parts by giving the part number from the parts list to the Service Center at 1-800-241-7548.

6. Always close LP cylinder valve after performing leak test by turning hand wheel clockwise.

• Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.

• Never attempt to attach this appliance to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper trailer or motor home.

WARNING

• Do not use appliance until leak checked.

• If leak is detected at any time, STOP and call your fire department.

• If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP cylinder valve and call a LP gas supplier or your fire department!

Safety Tips

sBefore opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling

nut for tightness.

sWhen appliance is not in use, turn off control knob

and LP cylinder valve.

sNever move appliance while in operation or still hot. sThe regulator may make a humming or whistling

noise during operation. This will not affect safety or use of fireplace.
