LP GAS CYLINDER PLACEMENT

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 flow­limiting 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. This valve is
recognized by the external threads on the
inlet port of the 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

1. 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)
