LP gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications

for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.Department ofTransportation (DOT) or the National Standard of

Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

LP GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

(LP) Liquid petroleum gas

• LP gas is nontoxic, odourless and colourless when produced. For your safety, LP gas has been

given an odour (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP cylinder valve must have:

• Shut-off valve with a correct cylinder valve output

as specified in current standards. ANSI Z21.58-2015 / CSA 1.6-2015 Outdoor Cooking Gas

Appliances.

• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or barbecue. The type 1 valve is easily recognized by

the large external thread on the outside of the valve.

• Safety relief valve with direct connection to the vapour space of the cylinder.

• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD).

This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique

triangular hand wheel.

• Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

• A device for vapor withdrawal.

• A collar to protect the LP tank shut off valve.

• A ring on the bottom of the LP tank to secure it to the

support assembly.

• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the

cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on

the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder

propane filling station.

INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER

Hose and regulator

Your barbecue is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:

1. The system will not allow gas flow from cylinder until a positive connection to valve has

been made. NOTE: The cylinder valve and all control knobs must be turned OFF before any

connection is made or removed.

2. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per

hour. If the flow limiting device is activated, perform Regulator Reset Procedure.

3. A thermal element built into the regulator supply hose will shut the flow of gas between

240—300 °F (115.5—148.8 °C).

Connecting hose and regulator

NOTE: If you are experiencing performance issues such a low heat, low ﬂame, or diculty lighting, you

have likely tripped your regulators ﬂow limiting feature. Follow steps for regulator reset, on page 8.

NOTE: To remove regulator from propane tank, turn o tank valve and rotate large coupling nut

counter-clockwise.

ATTENTION

Visually inspect hose prior to each use for damage, excess wear, or deterioration. If found, replace hose

before using your barbecue. Only the manufacturer’s supplied replacement should be used.
