GRILL SAFETY CHECK
For your family’s safety, please check the following:
READ and UNDERSTAND the owner’s manual
PERFORM LEAK TEST on all connections as specied in this user manual. Leak Checks should be performed
on all new BBQ’s even if assembled by an assembler or gas technician. Leak checks should be performed
frequently thereafter.
INSPECT and CLEAN burner tubes to avoid ash res caused by spider webs and other blockages. Inspect gas
jets to ensure they are correctly installed in burner tubes. Never leave a lit grill unattended.
BEFORE OPENING THE GAS SUPPLY, ensure the lid is open, control knobs are in OFF position, gas is turned o,
and the regulator is attached to tank correctly. Then follow the PROPER LIGHTING PROCEDURE as shown in the
manual. If above steps are not followed, you may experience low ames, or other performance issues.
CHECK that the regulator nipple is centered into the LP tank valve. Do NOT cross thread this connection. Cross
threading may result in a re, or explosion at the tank connection.
AVOID dangerous grease res by performing regular cleaning and maintenance of interior casting, the grease
collection system, ame tamers and cooking grates.
Large yellow ames and the smell of gas indicate a blockage in the burner, usually a spider web.
Remove the burner and clear the obstruction.

re department.
SAFETY HOSE AND REGULATOR
Propane Models:
Your Barbecue is designed to operate on L.P gas at a pressure of 2.74Kpa (11” water column). A regulator preset to this
pressure is supplied with your Barbecue.
Hose and Regulator comes equipped with the following:
QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling
All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder equipped with the
new QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling system.
The QCC-1 system incorporates new safety features required by the
Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
• Gas will not ow until a positive connection has been made
• A thermal element will shut o the ow of gas between 240 degrees and
300 degrees F.
• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the ow of gas to
10 cubic feet per hour.
Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder
1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill.
2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap
supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand tighten the
coupling nut. Hold the regulator in a straight line with LP cylinder valve so
as not to cross-thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator will seal
on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve, resulting in some resistance.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat
steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not use this regulator!
