Safety and Installation Instructions
Grills operated with LP (liquid propane) gas must be installed with an LP regulator supplied with the unit
set to 10.5" water column pressure.
The gas valves used in the grills are preset at the factory for Natural Gas or Liquid Propane operation.
Please contact your dealer and use a licensed contractor or installer to convert your grill to a different
gas type.
The self-contained LP system barbeque grill is design certified to be used with a standard 20 lb,
12 1/4" diameter, 18" high cylinder with fight handed connection threads. The cylinder must be marked in
accordance with the latest U.S. Department of Transportation specifications for LP gas cylinders. (DOT.
CFR49 or National Standards Of Canada CAN/CSA-B359 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods) The LP hose supplied by the manufacturer has a shut-off valve as
part of the hose assembly and should be turned to the OFF position when not in use.
LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:
-
a collar to protect the cylinder threads on the customer supplied tank,
-
an arrangement for gas vapor withdrawal,
-
a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder,
-
a method of mounting,
-
when not in use, the tank shut off valve should be turned off.
Filling and Refilling LP Gas Cylinders:
WARNING
All purging and refilling of LP gas cylinders must be performed by qualified personnel in
the LP gas industry. Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in explosion, personal injury or death.
- Turn control knobs and cylinder valve to the OFF position. Unscrew valve.
- Remove cylinder and have it filled at your local qualified propane dealer.
- Once filled, carefully connect the valve and make sure it is secure and not leaking.
- With the control knobs in the OFF position, turn on the cylinder valve.
If you smell gas or hear a hiss of gas escaping from the tank, get away from the tank and do not
attempt to correct the problem yourself. Call the Fire Department immediately.
If your grill has no leak at the cylinder, then recheck for loose connections and retest for leaks using
the method detailed in the following pages with soapy solution.
Do not subject your LP gas cylinder to excessive heat, and always store the cylinder in an upright
position. Never store your LP cylinders indoors.
Make sure that when attaching components, all connections are secured and fully tightened to prevent
leakage.
If one is not already available, it is recommended that an ON-OFF shutoff valve be installed at the gas
supply source, and that the gas supply be turned off when either Natural Gas or LP Gas grills are not in
use.
