b. Hand Disassembly:
1.
Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn the large plastic nut counter-clockwise until it is disassembled.
3. HAND LOOSEN ONLY.
c. Excess Flow Control
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an excess flow device designed to
supply the grill with sufficient gas flow under normal conditions yet control excess
gas flow.
Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow device providing a low
flame and low temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow
while a burner valve is open, the surge of pressure will cause the device to
activate. The device will remain closed until the pressure is equalized. This
should occur within 5 seconds.
To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
d. Temperature-Activated Shut-Off
The large plastic nut on the regulator assembly is designed in coordination
with a check valve in the tank valve to shut off the flow of gas when exposed
to temperatures between 240-300° F. In the event of a fire or hose break,
one of the safeguards will function to control or stop the flow of gas from the
propane tank. Never attempt to use damaged equipment.
Gas Requirements
The grill is set and tested at the factory for use with LP-Gas only.
LP Gas
The regulator supplied is set for 11 in. water column (WC) and is for use with LP gas
only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 20 lb. LP gas
tank.
IMPORTANT:
Before the use of a fresh tank of gas, please check leakage
around the connections according to section “Checking Gas Leaks” on page
25 and make sure there is no leakage or vapor accumulation in the cabinet.
Make sure all openings around side walls are not blocked.
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.
