Always check for leaks before every use.
If one is not already available, it is recommended that an ON-OFF shutoff valve be installed at the gas supply source,
and that the gas supply be turned off when either Natural Gas or LP Gas appliances are not in use.
Transporting and Storing LP Gas
Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the cylinder is secured in an upright position with the control valve turned off and
the dust cap in place. Store cylinders outdoors and out of the reach of children. Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area.

(20

The LP Gas Cylinder must be in compliance with the specifications for LP
‐
Gas Cylinders of the US
Department of Transportation or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA
‐
B339. The basic tank size is
12” in diameter and 18” High with a QCC
‐
1 cylinder valve.
1.
Turn the “Hand Wheel” on cylinder
clockwise
until it stops to ensure the Cylinder Valve is fully closed.
2.
Turn all of the burner knobs to the
OFF
position.
3.
Connect the 3/8” Flare end of the hose to the 3/8” Flare end of the brass coupling on the unit using a 3/4”
open wrench.
Do not apply pipe sealant.
(These are flared fittings). Note: remember the rubber line on the
hose and regulator must be protected from sharp edges, hot surfaces, aggressive building materials that could
cut, melt, or damage the line. A separate approved gas line might be needed to go between the hose and
regulator and the grill to position the rubber line in a safe location.
4.
Connect the regulator to the LP cylinder. Only hand-tighten the regulator.
5.
Check for leaks using a soapy water solution by spraying on all connections, including all of the valves,
fittings, lines etc. (any and all gas connections have the ability leak and therefore it is critical to check for leaks
before each use)
6.
To disconnect after you have used the appliance, turn the burner knobs to the OFF position.
7.
Close the Cylinder Valve by turning the Hand Wheel
counter-clockwise
until it stops.
8. Disconnect the regulator from the LP cylinder after use.
