• National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54

• Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code: CAN/CGA B149.1

To check your local codes, see your local LP gas dealer or natural gas company.

This grill was not intended to be connected to a natural gas supply line. If an external electrical

source is utilized, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence

of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code,

CSA 22.1.

•FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate in a building, garage or other enclosed area such

as a shed or breezeway.

•Use your grill OUTDOORS in a well ventilated space away from dwellings or other buildings to

prevent dangers associated with gas accumulation and toxic vapors. We recommend your grill

be situated at least 10 feet from buildings.

•Maintain a minimum clearance of 24 inches (60 cm) between all sides of grill and walls or other

combustible material. Do not use grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction.

•DO NOT use or install this grill in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boat.

The cylinder must also be equipped with:

•A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.

•A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is obtained.

•An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.

•A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.

•A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

•A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).

•Turn off the cylinder valve when your grill is not in use.

•Handle the tank with care.

•Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.

•Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your grill.

•DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.

•DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill.

•Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.

•DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity.

•Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on the cylinder and that accompany this

product.

•Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your grill. This could cause excess pressure

to be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion, or severe personal

injury including death.

NOTE: PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW AREAS.

PROPER VENTILATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

•Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from

obstructions and debris.

WARNING

DANGER

FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:

•Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.

•New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.

•DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a

dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel

propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or

flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.

•Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.

•If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has

a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).

secure tank.

5. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only

when cylinder is at rest in tank holder.

HOSE AND REGULATOR:

Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with

the following features:

1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until

a positive connection to the valve has been made.

NOTE: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any

connection is made or removed.

2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device

is subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to

150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator

assembly and dispose of properly. A replacement regulator

assembly can be purchased by contacting Brinkmann at

1-800-527-0717. The cause of the excessive heat should

be determined and corrected before

using your grill again.

3. A flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow

of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
