DO’S AND DON’TS

DO…

¾ Have propane cylinder (LP Units) filled by

an authorized LP supplier.

¾ Check all gas connections for leaks using

a soapy water solution before lighting, tighten connections until the bubbles disappear.

¾ Always open the hood before lighting. ¾ Pre heat the grills before using. ¾ After cooking, turn the grill OFF, then take

a long handled soft wire brush and brush off the cooking grills, then turn off the gas at the main fuel supply.

¾ Cook with the hood down when possible.

It is faster and more efficient. Trapped smoke adds flavor.

¾ Turn the gas supply off immediately if you

are unable to light the grill. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the grill again.

¾ Have proper tools. Tongs, mittens ready

prior to removing food.

¾ Trim excess fat from meats to minimize

flare-ups.

¾ Let the grill totally cool before cleaning or

removing any parts for cleaning or servicing.

¾ Cover the grill with the cover when not in

use.

DON’T…

¾ Install the grill closer than 36 “ on the

sides and back to any combustible materials.

¾ Attempt to adjust the Regulator, it has

been factory set and tested.

¾ Allow a LP gas cylinder to lie on its side.

Keep in an upright position.

¾ Turn a control valve on before the igniter

button has been depressed.

¾ Use plastic or un-tempered glass utensils

on or in the grill.

¾ Attempt to move an Aluminum foil pan

while it is still hot.

¾ Cover or block any air opening. ¾ Place aluminum foil in the grease pan to

catch the drippings.

¾ Wear long, loose flowing clothing around

the grill. Long flowing hair is also easily ignited.

¾ Put food on the grill and leave it

unattended or unwatched for long periods of time.

¾ Use CAUSTIC materials to clean the grill.

Example: Lye, or solvents.

¾ Never use the warming rack in place while

LP GAS CYLINDER PLACEMENT:

Cylinders must be installed according to assembly instructions. Install the gas cylinder into the tank hole inside of the Jackson Pedestal.

LP GAS CYLINDER:

QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling

Your grill is 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 and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

 Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been made.

 A thermal element will shut off flow of gas between 240

degrees and 300 degrees F. When activated, a flow-limiting device will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.

The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill. Be sure to purchase one with the QCC valve. The external threads on the inlet port of the valve recognize this valve. QCC equipped cylinders are available from your gas grill dealer. Any attempt to

connect the regulator, by use of adapters or any other means, to any other valve could result in damage or fire, and may negate the important safety features designed into the QCC-1 system.

SPECIFICATIONS:

All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance must be constructed and marked with the specifications for LP cylinders in accordance with the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC)

1. or the US Department of Transport (DOT) for use in the USA.

2. The LP gas cylinder used for this appliance must not have a capacity larger than 20 lb. (9 kg): approximately 18” (46cm) high & 12” (30cm) diameter.

3. All LP gas cylinders used with this appliance should be inspected at every filling and re-qualified by a licensed service outlet at the expiry date (10 years) in accordance with DOT (USA) and CTC (Canada) codes for LP gas cylinders.

4. All LP gas cylinders used with the appliance must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in a cylinder valve outlet No. 510, specified in the Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections (USA) ANSI / CGA-V-11977 (Canada) CSA B96.

The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The cylinder must also include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. As well, the cylinder valve must include a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

HANDLING:

1. Government regulations prohibit shipping full LP gas cylinders. You must take your new cylinder to an LP

gas dealer for filling.

2. A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure. Always handle with care and transport in the upright

position. Protect the valve from accidental damage.

3. Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the regulator. Fasten the cylinder securely during

transport, use and storage.

4. If the cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and

have it checked before using it again.

STORAGE:

1. Store the LP gas cylinders outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

2. Do not store the LP gas cylinders in direct sunlight or near a source of heat or combustion.

3. If you intend to store your grill indoors, disconnect and remove the LP gas cylinder first. Disconnected

cylinders must have plugs installed and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

4. Keep out of reach of small children.

5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill, the LP gas cylinder must be stored outside in a

well-ventilated area.

6. Keep the ventilation openings for the LP cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.

OPERATION:

1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP cylinder without the regulator provided, and never to an

unregulated gas supply. The gas regulator supplied with the appliance must be used.

2. Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator connection when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the

appliance. See “leak testing”.

3. Do not operate the appliance if the smell of LP gas is present. Extinguish all flame and determine the

source of LP gas before proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance until the LP gas leak has been found and sealed.

4. Always shut off the LP gas cylinder valve when the appliance is not in use.

OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER:

Effective January 1, 1998, the standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/CAN CGA-1.6, requires that appliances are to be used with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD).

The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the overfilling of propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The new OPD causes a slower purge / fill operation. Some consumers have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders are “defective”. This is not a defect. Some propane filling stations may not be aware of this new device and its effects on the purge / fill operation.

IDENTIFICATION:

To identify these cylinders, the new OPD hand wheel has been standardized to the shape shown.

HOSE AND REGULATOR:

1. The QCC coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance valve. This device will activate if the cylinder valve is opened while the appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off before the cylinder valve is opened to prevent accidental activation.

2. The QCC coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the QCC cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between 240 degrees and 300 degrees F. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut. Remove the hose / regulator assembly and replace with a new one.

The pressure regulator is set at 11” (water column) and is for use with LP

3. gas only. The hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No modifications or substitutions should be attempted.

4. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the base of the grill.

5. Inspect the seal in the QCC cylinder valve when replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year, which ever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks, creases or abr

6. Inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If the hose is cracked, cut, damaged or abraded in any way, the appliance must not be operated.

7. For repair or replacement of hose / regulator assembly, contact your dealer or approved service center.

CONNECTION:

1. Be sure the cylinder valve and appliance valves are “off”.

2. Place full LP gas cylinder on tank ring bracket.

3. Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold in place. Using the other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tighten

only. When making the connection, hold the regulator in a straight line with the cylinder valve, so as not to cross thread the connection.

4. Leak test the connection. See “leak test”.

5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the

Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open the cylinder valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn off cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to reset, open cylinder valve slowly, then open the appliance valve.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION;

THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND HOSE ASSEMBLY SUPPLIED WITH THIS OUTDOOR COOKING APPLIANCE MUST BE USED. REPLACEMENT PRESSURE REGULATORS AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES MUST BE THOSE SPECIFIED BY THE OUTDOOR COOKING GAS MANUFACTURER.

A. Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance.

B. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.

IF THE INFORMATION IN “A” AND “B” IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.

LEAK TEST:

1. DO NOT USE OR PERMIT SOURCES OF IGNITION IN THE AREA WHILE DOING THE LEAK TEST.

THIS INCLUDES SMOKING.

2. Leak testing should be done once per year or whenever the LP gas cylinder or any other gas system part

is replaced, whichever is more frequent.

3. The leak testing solution should be half liquid detergent and half water.

4. Apply the solution to the LP gas delivery system at points shown in the illustration.

5. Bubbles in the soap solution indicate that a leak is present.

6. The leak(s) must be stopped by tightening the loose joints, if possible, or by replacing the faulty parts(s)

with the part(s) recommended by the appliance manufacturer.

THE APPLIANCE IS NOT TO BE USED UNTIL ANY LEAK IS CORRECTED.

A gas appliance repairman or LP gas dealer should be called if attempts to stop the leak(s) are unsuccessful and, in such case, the LP gas supply must be shut off at the cylinder valve or the cylinder must be removed from the appliance until the leak(s) is corrected.
