Connecting
1. Ensure valve is in OFF position.
2. Check for any damage to the cylinder connection.

Regulator Safety Feature
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas
cylinder to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature
included that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak.
You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without
having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on
the gas using the barbecue control knob before you turn
on the gas cylinder valve.
IMPORTANT
• IMPORTANT: Before connecting and disconnecting
barbecue to gas source, make sure burner
controls are in ‘OFF’ position.
• CAUTION: When the barbecue is not in use, the
gas cylinder must be disconnected.
• Check that the seals between the appliance
and the gas cylinder are in place and in good
condition before connecting the gas cylinder.
• Do not use this appliance if it has damaged or
worn seals.
• NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails to produce
a spark at the electrode, barbecue can be lit by
a long barbecue match with hood open insert
the match into a hole on the underside of the
barbecue and turn gas control to high.
• Check performance of burner prior to installing
barbecue plates.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite
barbecue.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other
material.
• Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.
If the gas regulator safety feature activates, the barbecue
will operate with reduced output as gas flow is restricted.
These steps should be taken first to reset the gas
regulator safety device:
1. Ensure the barbecue hood is open.
2. Turn gas cylinder valve off.
3. Turn off all control knobs.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.
7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve all the way. Do
not put excessive force on the valve at the full open
position, to avoid damaging the valve.
9. Light barbecue as per the instructions provided.
