OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING GAS CYLINDER
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
Use only 20-pound cylinders (height: 18.11 inches, tank diameter: 9.84 inches, foot diameter: 8.03 inches)
equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
appliances.
The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The gas cylinder should not be dropped
or handled roughly!
If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must be disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors
is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must
be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area. Your cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of
dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or
plugs may result in leakage of propane.
Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the outlet of the gas cylinder, outlet of the
regulator valve or in the outlet of the burner and burner ports. Connect regulator valve and
hand-tighten firmly. Keep the propane cylinder valve closed and disconnect the propane cylinder from
the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill. The propane cylinder must
be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed overfilling prevention device. Please use
the proper cylinder orientation to provide vapor withdrawal. NOTE: The cylinder must be fully upright
for the cylinder to have vapor withdrawal only.
CAUTION
a. Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
b. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
c. If the information in (a) and (b) is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.
