Operating the Barbecue
CAUTION
: Use only the regulator provided. If a replacement is necessary, call our customer service
centre. The use of unauthorized parts can possibly be dangerous.
Connect 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 (DOT). Only cylinders marked ‘’propane’’ must be used. Use
only 1-pound (16.4 oz) cylinders equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with outdoor cooking
appliances. The propane cylinder must be arranged for vapour withdrawal. 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
51.6°C (125°F). Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of
the regulator valve, or in the head of the burner and burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly.
Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the barbecue is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of
combustion air and ventilation air to the barbecue.
DANGER:
If the following conditions are not met, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur:
Never store or use gasoline or other volatile substances in the vicinity of this barbecue.
Never store a spare propane cylinder in the vicinity of this barbecue, or in the vicinity of
another potential heat source.
Never refill a disposable cylinder.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the leak test on page 10 before lighting the barbecue and each time the cylinder is connected for
use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use barbecue until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane
supply, call for gas appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
Checking for Leaks
1. Make 2 to 3 oz of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection.
4. Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
5. If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Go to step 6.
6. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect. Make sure the connection is secured.
7. Retest with solution.
8. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
