LP GAS CYLINDER – 20Lb
4
QCC®-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
1. All OMC models are designed to be used with an LP gas
cylinder equipped with the QCC®-1 Quick Closing
Coupling system.
2. The QCC®-1 system incorporates safety features required
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and
the Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
• Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been
made.
• A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas between 240°
and 300° F.
• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the flow of
gas to 10 cubic feet / hour.
3.
The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas
Stove.
Be sure to purchase one with the QCC® valve.
This valve is recognized by the external threads on the
inlet port of the valve. QCC® equipped cylinders are
available from your Gas Stove Dealer.
NOTE: Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of
adapters or any other means, to any other valve could
result in damage, fire or injury and may negate the
important safety features in the QCC®-1 system.
