Installation
• Allow only qualified L.P. gas dealers to fill or repair your L.P. gas supply cylinder.
• Inform the gas dealer if it is a new or used cylinder to be filled.
• After filling, have the gas dealer check for leaks and to see that the relief valve remains effective and in
good condition.
HOSE AND REGULATOR (COMES STANDARD WITH THE GAS PIZZA OVEN)
The Type 1 connection system has the following features:
• The system will not allow gas to flow until a positive connection has been made. The cylinder control valve
must be turned off before any connection is made or removed.
• The system has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas in the event of a fire.
• The system has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per
hour.
•
NEVER use gas pizza oven without leak testing this connection.
LP (PROPANE) GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
1. The tank valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the knob clockwise until it stops.
2. Make sure all burner valves are in the “OFF” position.
3.
Always connect the gas supply regulator as follows:
- Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the coupling nut clockwise until the coupler tightens
up (see picture). Do not over-tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on, and turn the burner control
valves on.
4. The outdoor cooking gas appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi {3.5 kPa}. Rotate the knob to the “HIGH” position for about 20
seconds to allow the air in the system to purge before attempting to light the burners.
PRE-OPERATION LEAK TESTING
DANGER
1. Do not insert any tool into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a
leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
2.
If a leak is detected at any time, or you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close the tank’s shut-off valve
(gas supply from LP tank to the gas pizza oven) and call LP gas supplier or your fire department.
3.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the
regulator. Have a qualified service technician leak test the gas pizza oven any time a part of the gas system
is replaced.
WARNING
Never attempt to attach this gas pizza oven to the self-contained LP gas system. Do not use the gas pizza
oven until leak testing has been completed.
