CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY
GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The griddle is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column (WC)
and is for use with LP gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas tank.
Contact
your gas supplier for a special regulator for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used.
INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER
1. From the side of the cart, place foot ring of 9 kg (20 lbs) tank
onto the gas tank bracket. Make sure the tank valve is in
OFF position. Use the tank bolt to secure the tank in a fixed
position. Ensure the tank is completely upright, as it is unsafe
to operate the griddle if the gas tank is not installed properly.
2. Ensure the regulator valve on the griddle is completely closed
by turning the knob clockwise to the OFF position.
3. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening
and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps.
4. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the
regulator valve. Turn the cylinder clockwise until firm. Hand-
tighten only.
5. Gas cylinder is now installed.
The outdoor grill, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
1. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full.
3. If the information in 1) and 2) is not followed exactly a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
4. 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.
DISCONNECTING A GAS CYLINDER
1. Ensure the regulator valve on the griddle is completely closed by turning the knob clockwise to the OFF position.
2. Turn the cylinder counter-clockwise (by hand) to disconnect from the regulator valve opening. Replace the protective caps
on the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder for storage (if not empty).
NOTE: If storing the griddle indoors, leave the gas cylinder outdoors.
WARNING: Do not fold up or transport griddle with gas cylinder attached. The cylinder may loosen off the
valve and cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire, or severe bodily harm. Disconnect gas
cylinder first before travel or storage.
