LIQUID PROPANE GAS GRILLS

IMPORTANT

We urge you to read this manual carefully and to follow the recommendations enclosed. This will help assure you of the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new

Ducane

Gas Grill. We also advise you to keep this manual for future reference.

 WARNING: Your grill has been designed to operate using

only the gas specified on the rating plate. Do not attempt to operate your grill on other gases. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm, and will void your warranty.

 CAUTION: FOR YOUR SAFETY- Do not store any flammable

materials in any cabinets beneath the grill burner box or in the vicinity of your grill.

 WARNING: Be sure to have your LP (propane) tank filled

by a reputable propane dealer. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun) can cause LP gas to be released by the pressure relief valve on the tank since the temperature increase causes the propane to expand. LP gas released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.

 WARNING: (a) Do not store a spare gas supply cylinder under

or near this appliance; (b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; and (c) If the information in “(a)” and “(b)” is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

INSTALLATION —

LIQUID PROPANE GAS GRILLS

LOCATION OF YOUR GRILL

• Your Ducane® Gas Grill is manufactured for outdoor use only! Any grill, charcoal or gas, produces carbon monoxide while in operation and the gas should not be allowed to accumulate in a confined area. Never operate this grill inside a building or any enclosed area such as your home, garage or recreational vehicle.

• When locating your grill, choose a safe outdoor location away from flammable or combustible surfaces and out of traffic paths. Ducane® strongly recommends a 24" clearance to combustible surfaces and 120" (10 feet) to any fuel containers or propane cylinders.

• Consult your local codes for possible additional restrictions on location or operation of your grill.

• As your grill uses gas, it requires air to burn properly. Do not locate your grill in such manner to obstruct the flow of circulation and ventilation air around the grill.

• When possible, adjust your grills’ position to reduce the likelihood of wind blowing onto it.

 CAUTION: Never operate your grill under any overhead

combustible construction.

 CAUTION: This grill is not intended to be installed in or

attached to a recreational vehicle. It is also not intended to be installed in or on a boat.

 WARNING: For your safety, do not store or use gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

 WARNING: Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel

supply hose away from any heated surfaces.

 Do not build this model of grill in any built-in or slide in

construction. Ignoring this Warning could cause a fire or an explosion that can damage property and cause serious bodily injury or death.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65  WARNING: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some

by-products which are on the list of substances known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances always operate this unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

ASSEMBLY

Make sure your grill is assembled properly. Detailed assembly instructions are packed with each grill giving specific assembly procedures for each model. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the correct and safe assembly of the grill.

LEVELING

It is important for the proper operation of the grill that it be located on a level surface.

LIQUID PROPANE GAS GRILLS

TYPE OF GAS

• Your LP grill is factory built to operate using liquid propane only. Never attempt to

operate your grill on gases other than the type specified on the grill rating plate.

• The regulator supplied with your liquid propane gas grill is set for 11" water

column pressure and is for use with propane gas only. This regulator and the factory-supplied hose assembly must be used when operating your grill with a 20 lb. LP gas cylinder.

• If replacement of the hose and/or regulator becomes necessary, factory-specified

parts are required.

• For safety and design reasons, the conversion of a Ducane® grill from operation

using LP gas to operation using natural gas requires the change out of the entire gas supply system of the grill. If this becomes necessary, see your dealer for additional information.

TYPE OF LIQUID PROPANE TANK

For LP gas grills, the LP gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the US Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/ CSA-B339 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods. This tank must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a liquid propane gas tank valve outlet. The valve must be equipped with a Type 1 connection complying with the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58.

INSTALLING LIQUID PROPANE TANK

The Propane tank is installed inside the base cabinet. Lift the liquid propane tank through the front doors into the cabinet. Rest the tank into the base opening. Position the valve opening facing out to the rear of the grill.

Ducane recommends the use of cylinder manufacturer’s Manchester and Worthington, with a 47.6 lb water capacity. Other cylinders may be acceptable for use with the appliance provided they are compatible with the appliance retention means (see illustration).

HANDLING LIQUID PROPANE GAS

Propane gas should be handled and stored with care. We suggest asking your propane gas dealer, when having your tank filled, for a short course in handling, care and storage of propane gas tanks. Most dealers will be glad to instruct you on how to store and handle your tank. Make sure your tank is never stored inside! Keep it outside in a wellventilated area in an upright position away from your gas grill.

PORTABLE INSTALLATION

Complete portability is afforded to the grill head when mounted on the portable cart. When so installed, it is necessary to use a 20 lb. capacity liquid propane tank. Use no other size. The tank retainer is designed to accommodate only this size tank.

CHECKING GAS LEAKS

Before operating your grill and after refueling, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight and there are no gas leaks. The easiest way to do this is to mix up a little soapy water, like you would for washing dishes. Turn on the gas and brush a little of the mixture around fittings. If new bubbles form, you have a leak!

IMPORTANT

The liquid propane tank supply system must:

1) Have a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the tank.

2) Be arranged for vapor withdrawal.

3) Include a collar on the tank to protect the tank valve.

4 ) Be equipped with a listed overfilling protection device (OPD). The tank should

be 12 inches in diameter and 18½ inches tall.

5 ) Must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the

connection for outdoor cooking appliances.

IMPORTANT

If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to conform to them. Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.

• Check that the area under the control panel and the bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

• The areas around the LP cylinder must be free and clear from debris.

TYPE 1 CONNECTIVE COUPLING

All Ducane liquid propane gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-listed tank connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a liquid propane tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve. This Type 1 coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between your gas grill and your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks due to a POL fitting that is not properly tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank unless the Type 1 coupling is fully engaged into the coupling.

 WARNING: The Type 1 connective coupling supplied with

your grill must not be replaced with a different type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will result in loss of warranty and, if improperly done, may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

 WARNING: Do not let the regulator hose loop up towards the

bottom of the burner box.

TYPE 1 CONNECTIVE COUPLING

1 Type 1 Valve 2 Hand Wheel 3 External Thread 4 Thermally Sensitive Nut 5 Propane Regulator

CONNECTION —

LIQUID PROPANE GAS GRILLS

The propane cylinder valve connection provided with this grill incorporates the four important safeguards listed:

HAND ASSEMBLY

1) Make sure the cylinder valve and all appliance valves are in their “OFF” positions.

2) When connecting regulator/burner valve assembly to cylinder valve, turn large plastic nut clockwise until it stops.

3) Gas will not flow unless plastic nut is fully engaged.

4) HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.

DISCONNECTING CYLINDER

1) Turn cylinder valve and all appliance valves “OFF”.

2) Turn large plastic nut counterclockwise to disengage coupling.

 WARNING: Do not use a tool to tighten the connection.

Using a tool could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a leak resulting in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

EXCESS FLOW CONTROL

The propane regulator assembly incorporates a flow limiting device designed to supply the grill with sufficient gas flow, yet control any excess flow.

Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the flow limiting device. If the cylinder valve is turned to allow gas flow while a burner valve is open, the surge of pressure will cause the device to activate. The device will remain closed until the pressure is equalized. This should occur within a 5-second time frame. If the flame remains low, shut off the gas valves, wait five seconds and relight grill one burner at a time.

To ensure that this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:

1) Make sure all burner valves are OFF.

2) Open cylinder valve and wait 5 seconds.

3) Follow lighting instructions.

TEMPERATURE-ACTIVATED SHUT-OFF

The large plastic nut on the regulator assembly is designed in coordination with a check valve in the cylinder valve to shut off the flow of gas when exposed to temperatures between 240-300ºF.

In the event of a fire or hose break, one of the safeguards will function to control or stop the flow of gas from the propane cylinder. Never attempt to use damaged equipment.

IMPORTANT

When connecting or replacing any gas pipe with pipe threads or ﬁ ttings, all joints must be sealed with leak-proof sealing compound approved for use with natural and propane gases. After making connections, check all joints for leaks using soapy water and a brush.

LIQUID PROPANE TANK SAFETY TIPS

• Remember to handle your portable liquid propane tank carefully when you take it to your dealer for a refill. Avoid dropping it or bumping it against sharp objects. Liquid propane tanks are sturdily constructed, but a series of hard jolts could damage the container.

• When transporting the tank to your local propane gas dealer, make sure the valve is closed tightly and the protective cover is in place. Prop the tank securely in an upright position so it can’t roll around your vehicle.

• If you plan to make stops for other shopping or errands, have your liquid propane tank filled at the last stop before going home. Again, see that the refilled tank is secure in an upright position, and when you return home, remove the refilled tank from your vehicle. Never leave a portable liquid propane tank inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.

• Your local liquid propane gas dealer will gladly offer you additional safety tips.

STORE LIQUID PROPANE TANK SAFELY

Whether you’re between cross-country treks in your recreational vehicle or looking for a place to keep the liquid propane tank that provides fuel for your outdoor grill, keep in mind some basic safety rules about storing portable liquid propane tanks. Don’t store the tanks - whether full or empty - inside your home, the living area of an R.V., a garage, basement or workshop. It isn’t likely that liquid propane will leak from the tanks, but if it should, the fuel could be exposed to sparks from automobiles, power tools or other appliances. When storing or transporting your LP tank, it must remain in an upright position. Never lie your LP tank down on its side whether it is full or empty. Never store a spare tank near your grill.

 CAUTION: Never transport or move your grill or grill tank

without ﬁ rst closing the manual valve on your liquid propane gas tank.

 CAUTION: 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.

The best place to store a liquid propane tank is in a shady or protected spot outdoors, behind your home or garage, but where it is out of reach of children. Liquid propane won’t evaporate, because it’s in a strong, closed container. And it won’t lose any of its clean-burning heat content, even if left outside year-round.

 WARNING: When not connected to your grill, any LP gas tank

must be stored in an upright position in a cool, shady, ventilated, outdoor location away from your grill or any other heat source. If this information is not followed exactly, a ﬁ re causing death or serious injury may occur.

FILLING A PROPANE TANK

It is extremely important that your LP tank be filled properly when you take it to be refilled. Be sure to use a reputable LP dealer and ask him (and watch, if possible) how he fills the tank and knows when to stop. An overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The proper way to fill a tank is by weight. The empty tank should be placed on a scale and the scale weights readjusted to a weight which would allow up to 80% of the total weight of propane (LP) to be put into the tank. When this weight is reached, the filling operation must be ended. If the tank is not completely empty, the scale readjustment must be changed to consider the propane (LP) already in the tank.

LIQUID PROPANE GAS GRILLS

 WARNING: An LP (propane) tank is overfilled if it contains

more than 80% by weight of its total capacity of propane (LP). An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP (propane) tank can be dangerous. If this information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. If a tank is overfilled and the weather causes the warming of the LP tank, (a hot day, tank left in sun or stored indoors) internal pressure is created due to expansion of the propane which in turn causes the LP gas to be released through the pressure relief valve on the tank. The pressure relief valve is a safety device required on 20 lb. propane tanks by the Department of Transportation to prevent a catastrophic tank failure due to excessive pressure. LP gas released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.

GAS LEAK CHECKS

Remove Control Panel for Leak Testing

1) Remove control knobs.

2) Remove the two (2) screws and washers holding each valve to the control panel

and control knob bezel.

3) Loosen the control panel by removing two (2) screws from each side of the front

control panel.

4) Pull control panel away from grill. Never use a match or flame for leak detection. Use soapy water or testing solution.

Brush the solution onto connection points and look closely for bubbles indicating escaping gas. If leaks are detected, shut off the main gas supply valve and securely retighten connections, then repeat the leak test.

On cabinet models, perform this operation before placing the tank into its storage compartment. After placing the tank in the compartment, recheck the tank to see if any connections were disturbed.

 WARNING: Never use an open flame when testing for gas

leaks. Use of an open flame may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

CHECK:

1) Side burner hose-to-side burner valve.

2) Gas supply hose-to-manifold connection.

 WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1) or (2), retighten

the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area by calling 1-800-382-2637.

3) Regulator-to-cylinder connection.

4) The hose-to-regulator connection.

5) Valves-to-manifold connections.

 WARNING: If there is a leak at connections (3), (4) or (5),

turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area by calling 1-800-382-2637.

When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water.

Re-install Control Panel

Follow ‘Remove Control Panel’ steps in reverse. Make sure all screws are secure.

NORMAL OPERATION

BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL

When firing your grill for the first time, it is advisable to run the Main Burner(s) on “HI” for 20 minutes with the hood down and then turn the Main Burners “OFF”. Next, run the Rotisserie Burner (if so equipped) on “HI” for 20 minutes with the hood down, then turn the Rotisserie Burner “OFF”. This tempers the grill.

LIGHTING YOUR GRILL

 WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to

inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.

 DANGER: When the “excess gas flow control” feature is

activated, a small amount of gas is still flowing to the burners. After turning OFF the cylinder valve, wait at least 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to light the barbecue. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flame-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

 DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open position

any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

 WARNING: The burner control knobs must be in the OFF

position before turning on the liquid propane cylinder tank valve. If they are not in the OFF position, when you turn on the LP cylinder valve, the “excess gas flow control” feature will activate, limiting the flow from the LP cylinder. If this should occur, turn off the LP cylinder valve and burner control knobs. Start over.

Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose assembly. For base cabinet model grills, it will be necessary to go behind your grill to check the hose.

PREHEATING GRILL

It is extremely important that your grill be up to temperature before you begin using it. After lighting turn all burners on “HI”. Close the lid and preheat the grill between 500° and 550° F (260° and 290° C) for 10 minutes. This preheating will ensure that the cooking grid is hot enough for proper grilling.

 WARNING: Never leave a grill unattended to guard against

possible grease fires getting out of control. Grease fires can be severe and cause grill damage, property damage and bodily harm.

CLOSE LID FOR GRILLING

We recommend always cooking with your lid CLOSED if you are in a windy area or colder climate. Your Ducane® gas grill has been designed and constructed to give you maximum flexibility and cooking performance. Be creative, try different cooking methods on your grill to determine what suits your needs best…there is no “right” or “wrong” way to cook…just different individual styles.

 WARNING: Please remember that this is an outdoor gas

cooking appliance. Many areas of the grill generate extreme heat. We have taken every precaution to protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all high-temperature areas. Therefore, use good judgment and a certain degree of caution when grilling on this product. We suggest a covered, protected hand during operation of grill. Do not move your grill when it is in operation or hot to the touch. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly cooled down before moving from place to place. Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury.

POST HEATING GRILL

In order to assist cleaning your cooking grid and to completely vaporize remaining juices, post heat grill for 10 minutes with the burners on “HI” and the lid closed.

 CAUTION: Do not cover the cooking grate during the post

heating period.

After the post-heating of your grill is completed turn the control knobs to the “OFF” position.

PROPANE TANK SHUT-OFF

After the burner box cools down, the propane tank valve should also be closed. If you do not want to wait for the burner box to cool down, use a covered hand to turn off the propane tank valve.
