THIS GAS BARBECUE IS CERTIFIED UNDER CANADIAN AND AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS, CAN/CGA-1.6-M95 AND
ANSI Z21.58 -1995 RESPECTIVELY FOR OUTDOOR GAS GRILLS AND SHOULD BE INSTALLED to conform with local codes. In
absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-B149.2 Propane Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 in the United States.
If a rotisserie motor is used, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in absence of local codes, with
the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the United

USE ONLY THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND HOSE ASSEMBLY PROVIDED WITH THIS BARBECUE. REPLACEMENT PRES-
SURE REGULATORS AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES MUST BE SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DO NOT STORE PROPANE CYLINDER
OR SPARE CYLINDER ON THE SHELF BENEATH THE BARBECUE.
The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches water column to the gas grill and has a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used
with this unit must be supplied with a Sherwood #3349 QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection,
which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to
attain full flow to the barbecue,
the valves must be in the off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
PROPANE CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS:
A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane
supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance
with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) or the US Department of Transportation
(DOT). This appliance has been designed for use with a 20lb. (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief
device having direct communication with the vapour space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapour
withdrawal and the cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate an OPD (overfill
protection device).
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:
The burning of gas fuel creates byproducts, some of which are on the list as substances
known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. When cooking with gas, always ensure adequate
ventilation to the unit, to minimize exposure to such substances.
IMPORTANT DO'S AND DON'TS
DO'S
Read the entire instruction manual before operating the gas
grill.
Maintain proper clearance to combustibles (16" to rear of unit,
7" to sides). Additional clearance is recommended near vinyl
siding or large panes of glass.
Leak test the unit before initial use, annually and whenever any
gas components are replaced.
Follow lighting instructions carefully when operating grill.
Burner controls must be off when turning supply cylinder valve
on.
Ensure sear plates are positioned properly according to sear
plate installation instructions. The holes must be towards the
front of the gas grill.
Clean grease tray and sear plates regularly to avoid build-up
which may lead to grease fires.
Remove warming rack before lighting rear burner. (The
extreme heat will damage the warming rack.)
Do not attempt to use a cylinder which is not equipped with a
QCC1 type connection.
Do not route hose underneath drip pan - proper hose
clearance to bottom of unit must be maintained.
Do not use condiment tray to store lighters, matches or any
other combustibles.
Do not locate unit under unprotected combustible
construction.
Do not operate rear burner with main burners operating.
Do not leave grill unattended when operating.
Do not light burners with lid closed.
Do not move grill when hot or operating.
Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in
contact with heated unit. A large temperature differential can
cause chipping in the porcelain.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean any part of the unit.
