When exchanging your cylinder for a refill,
exchange only with a Type 1, 20lb. cylinder with an
overfill protection device (OPD).
·
Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve.
·
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous
and should not be used. If in doubt, have it
checked by your LP supplier.
·
Always shut off the LP gas when finished using
the grill, both at the grill valves and the LP
cylinder valve.
·
Cylinders must always be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated area and out of reach of
children. If your grill is stored indoors, the LP
cylinder must be removed and stored outdoors.
LP CONNECTIONS
1. Make sure the LP cylinder valve and all burner
valves are fully CLOSED and the grill lid is open
before connecting the cylinder to the grill. It is
possible for the cylinder valve to be partially
open without releasing gas, but, as soon as the
regulator is connected, gas can leak from the
connection.
2. Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve
and turn the black coupler clockwise until the
coupler is hand tight. Do not over-tighten this
connection.
3. To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the
cylinder valve and all burner valves are turned
completely OFF. Turn the coupler counter-
clockwise. The inlet will then disengage.
4. Always leak test the connection after refilling or
exchanging LP gas cylinders. See ‘Leak Test
Procedure’ in section entitled ‘Final Checks’
GAS LINE PURGING
1. After refilling or replacing an LP gas cylinder, it
is always best to purge the system of air before
attempting to light the grill.
2. Make sure all grill controls are in the “OFF”
position and the grill lid is open.
3. Slowly turn on the main gas supply.
4. Push in on any knob and confirm the igniters
are sparking.
5. Push in the knob for the left burner (farthest
from the gas supply) and turn the knob to the
‘LIGHT’ position indicated by the icon for
approximately 20 seconds to allow the air in
the system to purge and the burner to light.
6. Wait at least 5 minutes after shutting off the
control knob before attempting to light the
burners.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR
PROPANE CYLINDERS
1. Propane-gas cylinders, valves and hoses must
be maintained in good condition and must be
replaced if there is visible damage to either the
cylinder or valve. If the hose is cut, or shows
excessive abrasion or wear, it must be replaced
before using the grill.
2. This unit must be used only with a standard 5-
gallon (20 lbs.) propane gas cylinder equipped
with an OPD (Overflow Protection Device). The
OPD has been required on all cylinders sold
since October 1, 1998 to prevent overfilling.
3. Cylinder dimensions should be approximately
12” (30.5cm) in diameter and 18” (45.7cm)
high. Cylinders must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the Specifications
for Propane Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.).
4. The cylinder used must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve, and the cylinder
WARNING!
Do NOT change the regulator/hose assembly or
use any assembly other than the one supplied

Do NOT attempt to use a 5LP-A equipped
regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510
POL cylinder/valve assembly.
Do NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or
near this appliance.
NEVER fill the cylinder above 80%.
If the information above is not followed exactly,
a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
