FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:

Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.

New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.

DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a
dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel
propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or
flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.

Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.

If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has 
a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).

INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER ONTO THE GRILL:

1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob

clockwise.

2. Place the cylinder into the tank holder in the bottom 

of cabinet.

3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening faces the

side burner, and so that the hose is not kinked or damaged.

4. Fully tighten the tank retention screw on the back side of

grill to secure tank.

5. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only

when cylinder is at rest in tank holder.

HOSE AND REGULATOR:

Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with
the following features:

1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until 

a positive connection to the valve has been made.

Note:

The cylinder valve must be turned off before any
connection is made or removed.

2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is

subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to
150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator
assembly and dispose of properly. A replacement regulator
assembly can be purchased by contacting customer service
at 800-527-0717. The cause of the excessive heat should be
determined and corrected before using your grill again.

3. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the

flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting
device is activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.
