Installation
Pressure regulator (See image A)
This barbecue is designed to operate on LP gas at a pressure
of 2.74 kPa (11″ water column). A regulator preset to this
pressure is supplied with your barbecue. Replacement
regulators must be as specified by Vida by PADERNO™
(UL-listed Type 1 (CGA 810) Cylinder connection device as
described in the latest edition of ANSI Z21.81).
Safety features
All Vida by PADERNO™ barbecues are designed to be used
with an LP gas cylinder equipped with the new QCC-1 Quick
Closing Coupling system, which includes the following
safety features required by the Canadian Standards
Steering Committee and the American National Standards
Institute(ANSI):
•
Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been made.
•
A thermal element built into the regulator will shut the flow
of gas between 240° to 300°F (115° to 149°C).
•
When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will restrict the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. See Regulator Flow
Limiting Device Activated (PAGE 9).
