IMPORTANT:
In the connection
process, the grill side of the connec-
tion will seal on the backcheck in the
valve, resulting in a slight resistance.
The connection requires about 1/2 to
3/4 additional turn to complete the
connection.
Tighten by hand only. Do not use
tools.
If you cannot complete the final con-
nection, disconnect the regulator and
repeat the last two steps. If you are
still unable to complete the connec-
tion, do not use this valve and regula-
tor. Call your local dealer or servicer
to order the replacement parts.

The pressure regulator and hose
assembly supplied with this appliance
must be used. Replacement pressure
regulator and hose assemblies must
meet with the appliance manufactur-
er’s specifications. The pressure regu-
lator and hose assembly provided is
factory set at an outlet pressure of
11" WC (.4 lbs per sq. inch). Your
new grill regulator is equipped with a
coupling nut. Refer to the
LP gas
hook-up
illustrations on page 8. Do
not attempt to connect to any LP
cylinder not equipped with a mating
quick connect closing (QCC-1)
cylin-
der valve.
The coupling nut connects to the
large outside thread on the valve out-
let.
To complete the connection, fol-
low these steps:
•
Be certain all grill burner valves
(including open burner and rotisserie
if so equipped) are in the OFF posi-
tion.
•
Make certain the cylinder valve
handwheel is in the closed position.
Turn clockwise (left to right) to full
stop.
•
Remove the protective caps from
the cylinder valve and coupling nut.
•
Hold the regulator in one hand and
insert the nipple into the cylinder
valve. Be certain the nipple is cen-
tered in the valve outlet. Hand tight-
en the coupling nut. Do not cross-
thread the connection.
•
Turn the coupling nut clockwise
(left to right), to tighten to a full
stop.

•
Only one LP cylinder should be
transported at a time. Transport cylin-
der in an upright and secure manner
with control valve turned off and the
dust cap in place.
•
Do not
transport the cylinder in the
passenger compartment.
•
Do not
leave a cylinder in direct
sunlight or in a high heat area such
as a closed car trunk. High heat areas
could cause the relief valve to vent
gas.
•
Do not
store cylinders in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area.
Store outdoors in a well ventilated
area away from people.
•
The LP gas cylinder must be pro-
vided with a cylinder connection
device compatible with the connec-
tion for outdoor cooking appliances.
Handle a filled cylinder with
care. The gas in the cylinder is
under high pressure.
DO NOT insert any foreign
objects into the valve outlet.
The backcheck may be dam-
aged. A damaged backcheck
can be the source of a leak.
Leaking propane may result in
explosion, fires, severe personal
injury or death.
