provided they are compatible with the appliance retention means (see illustrations).
The LP cylinder is installed inside the tank enclosure or tank cabinet, on the tank scale.

4)
Remove the plastic dust cover from the valve.
5)
Screw the regulator coupling onto the tank valve, clockwise, or to the right. Hand-
tighten only.
Note: This connection tightens clockwise and will not allow gas to flow unless the
connection is tight. The connection requires tightening by hand only.
WARNING: Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection.
Using a wrench could damage the regulator coupling and
could cause a leak.
You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it.
6)
Mix soap and water.
7)
Turn on the cylinder valve.
8)
Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and water solution and
watching for bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fitting. Turn the gas back on and
recheck with the soap and water solution.
If leak does not stop do not use the barbecue. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto
