GRILL BASICS
B
FUEL
This appliance
is
designed to use Liquid
Propane
gas
(abbreviated
LP
gas
or
pro-
pane).
LP
gas
is
highly flammable.
lt be-
comes
liquid when
stored under high
pres-
sure inside a cylinder
and
vaporizes
when
released.
LP
gas
is heavier
than air
and
tends to collect in low areas. lt is
important
that there are no leaking connections
on
your gas grill
that
could cause a fire
or ex-
plosion.
Refer
to
the
section later in
this
manual
on
"Testing
for
Gas
Leaks".
FUEL SUPPLY
SYSTEM
Your
LP
gas grill
requires a fuel
delivery
sys-
tem
which is
made up of a LP
gas
supply
cylinder,
a
fuel regulator,
hose and
gas
con-
trol
valve.
The fuel regulator of
your
new barbecue
grill
is equipped
with a Type
1 coupling nut.
Do
Not attempt
to connect to any
other LP cylin-
der not equipped
with
a mating Type
1 cylin-
der valve. This
grill
is not to
be used with
any
other cylinder connection
device.
FUEL
REGULATOR AND
HOSE
The
pressure
regulator
and hose
assembly
with the Type 1 fitting supplied must be
used
with the appliance.
Do
not use another
hose
and regulator assembly other than the
one
supplied
with the
grill
or a manufacturer's
re-
placement
pressure
regulator
assembly.
The Type
1 connection system
has the fol-
lowing features:
1. The system will not allow
gas
to flow
until
a
positive
connection has been
made.
2.The system
has a thermal
element that
will shut-off
the flow of
gas
between 2400 F
and 3000
F.
3.
The
system
has a flow limiting
device
which,
when activated,
will limit
the flow
of
gas
to 10 cubic
feet
per
hour.
4. The
pressure
regulator and hose assem-
bly
provided
is factory set at an outlet
pres-
sure of
11 inches water column
(.4
lb.
per
sq. inch).
WARNING:Any
attempt
to adjust the regula-
tor is
dangerous
and could
create a situation
causing
personal
injury
or
property
damage.
Consult
your
LP
gas
dealer if
you
think
the
regulator is not working
properly.
FU EL CYLINDER
SPECIFICATIONS
Any
LP
gas
supply cylinder used
with
this
grill
must be approximately 12
inches
diam-
eter
and 18 inches
high. The maximum
fuel
capacity must
be 20
pounds
of Propane.
Full cylinder
weight
should
be approximately
38
pounds (43.7
lbs. nominal water capac-
itv).
The LP cylinder
must have a shut-off valve
terminating
in
a Type
1 LP
gas
cylinder
valve
outlet.
A Type 1 compatible cylinder
with
a Type 1 cylinder valve
has
a
positive
seating connection
which does
not
permit
gas
flow, until a
positive
seal
has
been
ob-
tained.
DANGER: Do Not insert any foreign objects
into the valve outlet.
You may damage
the
back check.
Adamaged back
check can
cause
a leak,
which could result in explo-
sion, fire, severe
personal
injury or death.
The
cylinder
must
be arranged for
vapor
withdrawal. lt must also
include a collar to
protect
the cylinder
valve. A
safety
relief de-
vice having
direct communication
with the
vapor
space of cylinder must be
provided.
This will
expel
high
pressure gas
if the cylin-
der
is
overfilled
or overheated.
All LP
gas
cylinders
used with this
appliance
shall be constructed
and marked
in accor-
dance with
the specifications
for LP
gas
cyl-
inders of the U.S.
Department of Transporta

and
Commission, as ap-
plicable;
and
shall be
provided
with a listed
overfilling
prevention
device.
Read labels on

deal-
ers
to
fill or repair
your
LP
gas
supply
cylin-
der.
Inform
the
gas
dealer
if it is
a new or used
cylinder
to
be filled.
Caution
the
gas
dealer not to
overfill the
fuel
cylinder.
After
filling,
have the
gas
dealer check for
leaks
and
to see that the relief valve re-
mains
free
to function.
Have the
gas
dealer
weigh
cylinder
after fill-
ing to ensure
that the cylinder is not over-
filled.
TRANSPORTING
A FULL CYLINDER
WARNING!
Handle
a full cylinder with
care.

high
pressure.
You
should
transport only one cylinder
at
a
time.
Transport
the cylinder in
an upright
and secure
manner
with control valve
turned
off
and
the
POL
plug
in
place.
Do Not
transport
cylinder
in
passenger
com-
partment
of
a
vehicle,
Do Not
leave cylinder
in direct sunlight or in
a
high
heat area such
as a closed car trunk.
High
heat areas
could
cause the
relief
valve
to
vent
gas.
Do Not
store
cylinder
in a building,
garage
or any
other
enclosed
area.
Store
outdoors
in a
well
ventilated
area, away from
people
and
out of
the reach
of
children.
Use
a
cylinder
cap on
cylinder valve
outlet
during
transport
and
when the cylinder
is
not
connected
to
grill.
Keep cylinder
valve
closed
when
not in
use.
WARNING!
Do
not store
a spare
LP-gas cylinder
under
or near
this appliance.
Never
fill
the cylinder
beyond
80
percent
full.
lf this
information
is not
followed exactly,
a
fire causing
death or
serious
injury may
occur.

CYLINDERS
DANGER!
Purging and
filling
of LP Gas cyl-
inders
must be
per{ormed
by
personnel
who
have
been
thoroughly trained in accepted
LP Gas
industry
procedures.
Failure to fol-
low this
instruction
may result
in
explosion,
fire,
severe
personal
injury, or
death.
IMPORTANT
Purge new cylinders before
filling.
This tank
is easily filled with a stan-
dard CGA
510
POL filling connection.
The LP Gas
cylinder has a
Type 1
cylinder
valve
with a back-check
module in its
outlet
which will not
permit gas
to flow until an
evacuation
device
is
installed.
To
purge
the
LP Gas
cylinder,
the backcheck module
must
be opened
with
an evacuation device.

which
will accept
this connection.
CAUTION:After
purging
or filling
an LP Gas
cylinder,
Do Not
insert
a POL
plug
into the
valve outlet.
Insertion
of
this
plug
will
pre-
vent the
