WARNING: Never attach an unregulated gas line to the appliance. Connection to an

unregulated gas line can cause excessive heat or fire.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting grill to gas source, make sure control knobs are in “OFF” position.

Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural Gas or LP (Propane), and make sure the
marking on the appliance rating label agrees with that of the supply.

All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gas. Never use pipe
sealant on flare fittings. The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with either 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, or the
Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/ NFPA 1192M, and CSA Z240 RV Series,
Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.

WARNING: Gas valves are preset at the factory to operate on LP or natural gas. If you wish to convert,

be sure to contact your grill dealer FIRST!

This propane gas grill is designed to operate on propane gas ONLY, at a pressure regulated at 11”
water column (W.C.) when equipped with the correct propane orifices on the valves and a propane
regulator on the supply line regulated at the residential meter. The LP gas grill is designed to be used
with a standard 20 lbs. gas cylinder that must be constructed and marked in accordance with
specifications of the US Department of Transportation for propane gas cylinders.

Always keep cylinder securely fastened in an upright position. Never connect an unregulated propane
gas cylinder to the grill.

Do not subject propane cylinders to excessive heat.

CAUTION: Never store a LP gas cylinder inside a building or in the vicinity of any gas-burning

appliance.

Cylinder Specifications

inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately
20 pounds of propane.

- The LP cylinder must have a shut-off valve (see picture) terminating in
a Type 1 LP.

- A Type 1 compatible cylinder with a Type 1 cylinder valve has a
back-check valve which does not permit gas flow, until a positive seal
has been obtained.

- The cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. It must also include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve. A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of cylinder
must be provided. This will expel high pressure gas if the cylinder is overfilled or overheated which
could result in fire or explosion.

- All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance shall be constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and shall be provided with a listed overfilling
prevention device.

- After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief valve remains free to
function.

Hose and Regulator (included standard with the grill)

The Type 1 connection system has the following features:

- The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection
has been made.

NOTE: The cylinder control valve must be turned off
before any connection is made or removed.

- The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of
gas in the event of a fire.

- The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated,
will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.

- NEVER use grill without leak testing this connection.
