OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete
turns to ensure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak
detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts
off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the
safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve
slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• 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 used
again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of
the reach of children and must not be
stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill
the L.P. tank.
• 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.
LEAKAGE CHECK
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during
shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically
check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is
detected.
1. Do not smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent
or liquid soap and water.
5. Turn off the burner control knobs. (see Fig. 5)
WARNING
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under
or near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond
80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
