Cooking with Gas
Page 20
The proper way to fill a tank is by weight. The empty tank should be placed on a scale. The scale
weights should be readjusted to a weight that would allow up to 80% of the total weight. The filling
operation must end once the tank is filled to 80% of its total capacity. If the tank is not completely
empty, the scale readjustment must be changed to consider the propane (LP) already in the tank.
WARNING: An LP (propane) tank is overfilled if it contains more than 80% of its total
capacity of propane (LP).
An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP (propane) tank can be dangerous. If a tank is overfilled and
the weather causes the warming of the LP tank, (a hot day, tank left in sun or stored indoors) internal
pressure is created due to expansion of the propane which in turn may cause the LP gas to be released
through the pressure relief valve on the tank. The pressure relief valve is a safety device required on
20 lb. Propane tanks by the Department of Transportation to prevent a catastrophic tank failure due to
excessive pressure. LP gas released from the tank is flammable and can be explosive.
IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be sealed with
approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumbers tape. After making connections, check all
joints for leaks using a soapy water solution and a brush. See the instructions at page 19.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Use of an open flame could result in a
fire, explosion and bodily harm.
Locating the Grill
This gas appliance is designed and certified for outdoor use only. Do not operate the grill inside a
building, garage, recreation vehicle, screened porch or any enclosed area. Keep the grill away from
windy areas, but keep the grill in a well-ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the grill.
Warning: Do not place the grill under overhead, unprotected combustible surfaces.
Clearance to Combustible Construction
A minimum clearance of 36
in.
from the sides of the grill, and a minimum clearance of 36
in.
from the
back of the grill to adjacent vertical combustible constructions must be maintained. However, the
manufacturer strongly suggests a 6
ft.
clearance of the grill to combustible constructions.
Clearance to Noncombustible Construction
A minimum clearance of 36
in.
from the back of the grill above the cooking surface to noncombustible
constructions is required to allow the grill hood to open completely. A minimum of 36 in. clearance to
the sides of the grill above the cooking surface to noncombustible constructions is recommend. The
grill can be installed directly next to noncombustible construction below the cooking surface.
