FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY:
•Only use your grill OUTDOORS in a well
ventilated area -- preferably 10 feet (3m)
from your residence or any outbuildings.
• Always keep the area around your
grill clear of any combustible
materials, gasoline, or other flammable
liquids.
• DO NOT operate this grill under
overhead or unprotected construction.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air to the grill.
• DO NOT use in garages, sheds,
breezeways, or other enclosed areas.
• DO NOT store a spare L.P. (propane)
cylinder under or near your grill.
• DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in operation.
• DO NOT allow children to operate or play near your grill.
• DO NOT use while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• DO NOT install/use in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats
ELECTRICAL CAUTION
• If any accessory installed on this grill requires an external electrical power source, it
must be electrically grounded in accordance with local laws or in the absence of local
laws, with the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or in the U.S., with the National
Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA 70.
• The three-prong plug provides protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from this plug.
• Ensure all electrical supply cords and fuel supply hoses are kept well away from any
heated surfaces.
L.P. GAS CYLINDER
Gas cylinders manufactured today have mechanisms to
provide worry free grilling year round:
Q.C.C.1 or Type 1-Quick Connect Coupling Valve,
ensure fast tank hook-ups requiring only hand
tightening. The redundant valve system inhibits the
flow of gas to the burner if the connection is not
100% correct.
O.P.D. or Overfill Protection Device prevents
accidental gas leaks caused by cylinder ‘overpressurization’, the leading cause of cylinder gas
leaks. The float in the tank will automatically stop
filling at 80% capacity, leaving a 20% area for the
expansion of liquid. Without this safety feature, the
relief valve may open and discharge propane,
creating a potential safety hazard. An O.P.D. cylinder
is easily distinguished by its triangular hand wheel
valve. (Figure 3)

1. SPECIFICATIONS
Self-contained propane gas grill systems are designed to be used only with a 20 lb (9.1
kg) propane cylinder, equipped with a Type 1 cylinder valve and incorporating an overfill
protection device (O.P.D). This grill cannot be connected to an existing #510 P.O.L. type
valve (ones with left-hand threads). The cylinder for your gas grill must be constructed
and marked in accordance with the specifications of L.P. gas cylinders:
In Canada: The National Standards of Canada CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
In the U.S.: U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)
DO NOT CONNECT TO A PROPANE GAS CYLINDER EXCEEDING THIS CAPACITY, OR USE A
CYLINDER WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF VALVE CONNECTION DEVICE.
The Type 1 valve is recognizable by the large external thread on the outlet part of the
valve. Standard existing valves do not have these exterior threads. Any attempt to connect
a regulator, with other than the:
i) Mating Type 1 connector (recognized by the large black coupling nut)
THE CYLINDER MUST ALSO BE EQUIPPED WITH:
a. A shut-off valve terminating in a proper cylinder valve outlet specified in current
standards:
• Canada: CAN/CGA - 1.6a - M98 - Outdoor Gas Grills - Amend. 1.
• U.S.: ANSI Z 21.58a-1998 OUTDOOR COOKING APPLIANCES.
b. A listed overfilling protection device (O.P.D.).
c. A safety relief valve having direct communication with the vapor space of the
cylinder.
d. A collar to protect the tank shut off valve.
e. An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
f. A bottom ring for mounting.
THE CYLINDER SHOULD NOT EXCEED 18 1/2" (472 MM) IN HEIGHT AND 12 1/2"
(317 MM) IN DIAMETER.
SAFETY:
• Always turn off the cylinder valve tightly when your grill is not in use.
• Handle tank valves with care.
• Never connect an unregulated L.P. gas cylinder to your grill.
• Never store a spare cylinder under or near your grill when in use.
• Never subject any cylinder to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
• Always keep your in-use cylinder securely fastened in an upright position.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage the
back-check. A damaged back-check can be the source of a leak. Leaking propane
may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.
• DO NOT fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
WARNING
If the above instructions are not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
2. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE:
Although it is safe when used properly, careless handling of
the propane gas cylinder could result in fire, explosion,
and/or serious injury.
PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW AREAS, INCREASING
THE ABOVE RISKS. THEREFORE:
• ALWAYS use the cylinder cap provided
with your cylinder whenever the cylinder
is not connected to your grill.
(Figure 4)
• DO NOT store in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area. Store in a
well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT store near any gas burning
apparatus or in any high-heat areas such
as a closed car or trunk.
• Transport and store the cylinder in an upright position -- do not tip on its side.
• Store out of reach of children.
• DO NOT smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.
FILLING:
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IF AN OPTIONAL L.P. GAS CYLINDER WAS SUPPLIED WITH
YOUR GRILL, IT HAS BEEN SHIPPED EMPTY. THE CYLINDER MUST BE PURGED OF AIR
AND FILLED PRIOR TO USING ON YOUR GRILL. WHEN GETTING YOUR CYLINDER
FILLED:
• Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to fill or repair your cylinder.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% full.
• Make sure the L.P. gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.
If the above instructions are not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
HOSE & REGULATOR
PROPANE GAS MODELS:
Your grill is designed to operate on L.P. (propane) gas
at a pressure regulated at 11" water column(2.74 kPa).
A regulator preset to this pressure is supplied with the
grill and MUST be used.
This regulator is equipped with the Q.C.C. Type 1,
quick connect coupling system, which incorporates
the following safety features: (Figure 5)
• It will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has
been made. (Figure 6)
• It has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of
gas between 240 and 300°F (115 and150°C).
