CYLINDERS AND REGULATORS

LP GAS CYLINDER: - self-contained Propane Gas System

The self-contained propane system charbroiler is designed for use with a 9.1 kg. (20 lb.)
propane cylinder, equipped with a Type I cylinder valve. This charbroiler cannot be
connected to a standard Type II valve (with internal left-hand threads only).

DO NOT CONNECT TO A PROPANE GAS CYLINDER EXCEEDING THIS CAPACITY,
OR USE A CYLINDER WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF VALVE.

The Type I (Q.C.C.1) valve is recognizable by the large external thread on the outlet part
of the valve. Standard valves do not have these exterior threads. Any attempt to fit the
regulator(s) with anything other than the mating Type I (Q.C.C.1) connector, (recognized
by the large black coupling nut) will negate the important safety features designed into
the Type I (Q.C.C.1) system. Fitting a standard #510 P.O.L connector, will not provide the
flow control or temperature shut-off safety features built into the complete Type I
(Q.C.C.1) system.

The cylinder should not exceed 472 mm (18-1/2”) in height and 317 mm (12-1/2”) in
diameter. Some models may be supplied with a propane cylinder. If purchasing a cylinder
for your gas charbroiler, it must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications of:
a) Canada - The Canadian Transport Commission - CAN/CSA B339
b) U.S.A. - The U.S. Department of Transportation

The cylinder must also be equipped with:

a) A shut-off valve terminating in a proper cylinder valve outlet specified in current

standards:

1) Canada: CAN/CGA - 1.6 - M88 - Outdoor Gas Grills - Amend. 1.

2) U.S.A.: ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977: Compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet

connections.
b) A safety relief valve having direct communication with the vapour space of the cylinder.
c) A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.
d) An arrangement for vapour withdrawal.
e) A bottom ring for securing to the cylinder support assembly.

WARNING!

• Always turn off the cylinder valve when your charbroiler is not in use.

• Handle cylinder valves with care.

• Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to the

charbroiler.

• Never store a spare cylinder under or near your charbroiler, or subject any cylinder to

excessive heat.

• Always keep cylinder(s) securely fastened in an upright position.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE OF LP CYLINDERS

Although safe to use when properly handled, careless handling of a propane gas cylinder
could result in fire, explosion, and/or serious injury.

THEREFORE:

Always use the protective cap provided with your cylinder whenever it is not connected to
your charbroiler.

• Do not store in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Store only in a well

ventilated area.

• Do not store in the vicinity of any gas burning apparatus or in any high heat area such

as a closed car or trunk.

• Do not smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.

transport and store cylinder(s) in an upright position. Do not tip on its side.

• Do

Remove all cylinders from broiler during transportation.

• Do store out of reach of children.

WARNING!

FILLING: For safety reasons, the LP gas cylinder, if supplied with your charbroiler, has
been shipped empty. The cylinder must be purged of air and filled prior to using on your
charbroiler. When getting your cylinder filled:

• Allow only qualified LP gas dealer to fill or repair cylinder(s).

• Do not allow the cylinder to be over filled.

• Make sure the LP gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.

HOSES AND REGULATORS

WARNING! - Propane Gas Models: Your charbroiler is designed to operate on L.P.

(propane) gas at a pressure regulated at 11” water column. The regulator(s) supplied
with this charbroiler is/are set to this pressure and must be used.

This regulator is equipped with the Type I (Q.C.C.1), quick closing connection
system, which incorporates the following features:

1) Will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been made.

2) Has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas if subjected to
temperatures between 115° and 150°C (240° & 300°F).

3) Has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will restrict the flow of gas to
10 cubic feet per hour (25000 BTUs).
