The
Flow Limiting Device
or
Bypass Safety Feature
What is the Flow Limiting Device/ Bypass Safety Feature?
LP tanks are required to add a
Flow Limiting Device
(FLD)
to all 20 lb tanks. This device
prohibits gas flow when an excessive amount is detected
Why does this occur?
Generally the FLD is triggered because the lighting instructions for the grill may have been
followed improperly. If the control valves are turned on
BEFORE
the LP tank is turned on,
the FLD will trigger. This prevents an excessive amount of gas from entering the grill prior to
lighting. If this gas were allowed to accumulate, "flare up" or injury may occur. The FLD
prevents this.
How do I know if the FLD has been triggered?
The most common symptoms are as followed:
1. Burners won’t light
2. Burners have a small flickering flame in HIGH position.
3. Barbecue temperature only reaches 250-300 degrees in the HIGH position.
How do I reset the FLD?
Resetting the FLD is simple; just follow the
7
easy steps.
1. Be sure the LP tank and control knobs on the grill are in the "OFF" position.
2. Disconnect the hose and regulator from the tank.
3. Turn all the control knobs on the grill to the HIGH position.
4. Wait for about 1 minute. This allows the excessive gas to escape thereby resetting the FLD.
5. After waiting one minute, return all control knobs to the OFF position.
6. Reconnect the hose and regulator to the LP tank.
7. FLD is now reset, test the grill by following lighting instructions.
1. The doneness of meat, whether rare, medium, or well done, is affected by the thickness to a
large extent.
2. The cooking time is affected by the kind of meat, the size and shape of the cut, the temperature
of the meat when cooking begins, and the degree of doneness desired.
3. Defrost meat in the refrigerator overnight. Don
’t use a microwave, this always yields a juicier.
4. Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat, as a spatula will not puncture into the
meat and let the juices come out.
5. To get the juiciest meats, add seasoning or salt after the cooking is finished on each side and
turn the meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several times). Turn the meat
just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface.
6.
Cut off any excess fat from the meat before grilling.
FOOD SAFETY
Always follow the following tips to enjoy a safe and heath outdoor grilling.
1. Always use hot soapy water to wash hands, surfaces & utensils after processing raw meat.
2. Always separate the raw meats from done foods to avoid cross contamination
3. Always use clean utensils to handle the food.
4. Always cook the meat thoroughly to kill germs. Use a thermometer to inspect the inner temp. of
the meat, if necessary.
5. Place the done foods and leftovers promptly into refrigerator, if eat no longer at that moment.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
