The Vieluxe

grill is portable so you can easily change its location in your yard or on your patio. Portability means

you can take your Vieluxe® grill with, if you move. Liquid Propane (LP) gas supply is easy to use and gives you more cooking control than charcoal fuel.

• These instructions will give you the minimum requirements for assembling your Vieluxe

grill. Please read the

instructions carefully before using your Vieluxe®grill. Improper assembly can be dangerous.

• Not for use by children.

• If there are local codes that apply to portable gas grills, you will have to conform to them. If there are no local codes, you must conform to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z 223.1.

• The pressure regulator supplied with the Vieluxe

grill must be used. This regulator is set for 10.5 inches of water column (pressure).Replacement parts can be ordered by contacting Customer Service toll free at 1 (866) Vieluxe

• This Vieluxe®grill is designed for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. Do not use with natural (piped in city) gas. The valves, orifices, hose and regulator are for LP gas only.

• Do not use with charcoal fuel.

• Check that the area under the control panel and the bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.

ACCESSING AND REMOVING LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

Open access door and pull locking pin up and out of inner locking hole. Swing tank out until locking pin drops into outer locking hole. This will hold the tank mounting mechanism in place while the LP cylinder is being changed.

FILL LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

We recommend that you refill the LP cylinder before it is completely empty.

Removal of the LP cylinder

1) Close cylinder valve (turn clockwise).

2) Unscrew regulator coupling by turning counterclockwise, by hand only.

3) Loosen cylinder lock wing nut and turn cylinder lock up out of the way.

4) Lift cylinder off. To refill, take LP cylinder to a “Gas Propane” dealer.

 WARNING: We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified attendant, who fills the cylinder by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

 CAUTION: When transporting the LP cylinder make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the valve.This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion of the valve.

Note - The liquid propane cylinder manufacturer is responsible for the materials, workmanship and performance of the cylinder. If the cylinder has a defect, malfunctions, or you have a question regarding the cylinder, call the cylinder manufacturer’s customer service center. The phone number is on the warning decal, which is permanently attached to the cylinder. If the cylinder manufacturer has not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, then contact Customer Service toll free at 1 (866) VIELUXE

Tell your liquid propane dealer that this is a new liquid propane cylinder. The air must be removed from a new liquid propane cylinder before the initial filling. Your liquid propane cylinder dealer is equipped to do this. The liquid propane cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position, and should not be dropped or handled roughly. Never store or transport the liquid propane cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° Fahrenheit (too hot to hold by hand – for example: do not leave the liquid propane cylinder in a car on a hot day). For full instructions on safe handling of liquid propane cylinders, see

page 13.

IMPORTANT LP CYLINDER INFORMATION

Failure to follow these DANGER statements exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.

DANGER

NEVER store a spare LP Cylinder under or near this grill. NEVER fill the tank beyond 80% full.

Your Vieluxe

gas grill is equipped with a cylinder supply system designed for vapor withdrawal.

WARNING: Only use this grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

The LP cylinder supplied with your grill is equipped with an OPD (Over filling Prevention Device) and a QCC1 or Type 1 (CGA810) cylinder connection. The cylinder connection is compatible with the grill connection.

This is a secondary device to prevent the over filling of your LP cylinder. The proper filling methods for the filling of your cylinder are by weight or volume, as described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station fills your LP cylinder by weight or volume. Ask your filling station to read purging and filling instructions on the LP cylinder before attempting to fill.

WARNING: Do not exchange the LP tank provided with your grill, unless the exchange LP tank is equipped with an OPD. Otherwise you will lose the OPD (Over filling Prevention Device) feature. If there is not an LP tank available for exchange equipped with an OPD, we recommend that you have your LP tank filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified attendant.

CHECKING THE FUEL LEVEL IN YOUR TANK

Check the fuel level by viewing the color indicator level line on the side of the tank scale.

1) Empty

2) Medium

3) Full

(1)

(2)

(3)

Raises up while filling then stops when full.

CONNECT FILLED LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER

 WARNING: Make sure that the cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning clockwise.

We utilize various LP tank manufacturers. Some of the tanks have differing top collar assembles. (The top collar is the metal protective ring around the valve.) One series of tanks mount with the valve facing front. The other tanks mount with the valve facing away from the fuel scale. Both types of tanks are illustrated below.

Hook the liquid propane cylinder onto the fuel gauge. Loosen the cylinder lock wing nut. Swing the cylinder lock down. Tighten the wing nut.

Remove plastic dust cover from the fuel cylinder valve. Screw the regulator coupling onto the cylinder valve(1),

clockwise, or to the right. Hand tighten only. Note: This is a new type of connection. It tightens

clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.

 WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection. Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and could cause a gas leak.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS

• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.

• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas.You should be aware of this odor.

• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and prevent dispersion.

• To fill, take the LP cylinder to an RV center, or look up "gas-propane" in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.

• WARNING:We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer, by a qualified

attendant, who fills the tank by weight. IMPROPER FILLING IS DANGEROUS.

• WARNING: If you exchange your LP cylinder, make sure you get a similar tank in return.Your LP cylinder is equipped with a quick closing coupling or type 1 valve and an OPD (Over filling Prevention Device). Other LP cylinders may not be compatible with your grill connection.

• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.

• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported and stored in an upright position. LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.

• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125° F (too hot to hold by hand - for example: do not leave the LP cylinder in a car on a hot day).

Note - A refill will last about 8-10 hours of cooking time at normal use. The fuel scale will indicate the propane supply so you can refill before running out. You do not have to run out before you refill.

(1)

• Treat "empty" LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.

• CAUTION:When transporting the LP cylinder make sure the plastic dust cover is in place over the

valve. This will keep dust and dirt from the threaded portion of the valve.

• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately.

Liquid Propane (LP) Cylinder(s)

• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP cylinder is refilled.

• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease, bugs etc.

• The LP cylinder and connections supplied with your Vieluxe

grill have been designed and tested to meet

government, American Gas Association, and Underwriters Laboratories requirements.

Liquid Propane Cylinder requirements

• Replacement LP cylinders supplied by Vieluxe®satisfy the above requirements. Check to be sure other cylinders have a D.O.T. certification(1), and date tested(2) is within five years.Your LP gas supplier can do this for you.

If you have questions about spare LP cylinders contact Customer Service toll free at 1 (866) VIELUXE

• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

• The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size (18 1/4 inches high, 12 1/4 inches in diameter).

• The LP cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).

WARNING:You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
