Always keep LP gas cylinders in an upright position.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
Do not subject the LP gas cylinder to excessive heat.
Never store an LP gas cylinder indoors. If you store your
gas grill indoors, always disconnect the gas cylinder and
store it outdoors in a well ventilated area out of reach
of children. Do not store gas cylinder in a garage, building,
or any other enclosed space.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on
the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage
of propane.
When your gas grill is not in use, the gas must be turned
OFF at the LP gas cylinder.
The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected
before each use of the grill. If there is excessive
abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the grill being lit again.
Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot grill surfaces
and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary twisting of hose.
Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before
checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully seated over
the gas valve orifices.
Never allow children to operate your grill.
WARNING
A strong gas smell or the hissing sound of gas
indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or
the LP gas cylinder. Failure to immediately follow
the steps listed below could result in a fire or
explosion that could cause serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage.
* Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
* Turn the control knobs to OFF position.
* Put out any flame with a proper fire extinguisher.
* Open grill lid.
* Get away from the LP gas cylinder.
* Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
If odor continues or you have a fire you can not
extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call
from near the LP gas cylinder because your
telephone is a form of electrical device and could
create a spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.

of gas.
Purchase a gas cylinder equipped with a QCC valve.
The QCC valve is recognizable by the external threads
on the inlet of the valve.
GAS HOSE AND REGULATOR
Your gas grill comes equipped with a hose and regulator
with a QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling to gas tank. The
replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by
the manufacturer.
CAUTION WHEN OPENING CYLINDER VALVE
The QCC coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting
Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a
leak between the regulator and the grill valves (overpressure).
This device will activate if the cylinder valve is opened
while the grill valves (control knobs) are open.
ENSURE GRILL VALVES (KNOBS) ARE TURNED OFF
BEFORE YOU OPEN CYLINDER VALVE to prevent
accidental activation thus, limiting gas flow making it
impossible to ignite grill.
ALWAYS OPEN SLOWLY THE CYLINDER VALVE.
