OPERATING AND MAINTAINING YOUR GAS GRILL

GAS, CYLINDER, HOSE AND

REGULATOR INFORMATION

This LP gas grill was designed to use propane gas. Propane cylinders will supply gas all year round, even on cold winter days.

LP HOSE AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY

·If you obtain LP gas through a cylinder exchange dealer, make sure you are getting a safe and adequate O.P.D. cylinder. Use only a licensed LP gas cylinder dealer.

·Keep children away from LP gas cylinder at all times.

·Do not use, store, or transport the LP gas cylinder where it would be exposed to high temperatures. The relief valve may open which will allow a large amount of flammable gas to escape. Never leave an LP gas cylinder inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.

·Using a hose and regulator assembly that has not been supplied by the manufacturer of this LP gas grill, could result in serious bodily injury or property loss.

·Use only the hose and regulator assembly that has been furnished with this LP gas grill. If the hose and regulator assembly is not working properly and you need a replacement, contact the manufacturer (1-800-251-7558).

·Inspect the hose before each use. If the hose is cut or damaged or shows signs of excessive abrasion or wear, do not use the LP gas grill. Contact the manufacturer, as the hose must be replaced with an assembly specified by the manufacturer prior to the further use of the LP gas grill.

LP Cylinder

·Read and follow all warnings on LP gas cylinder.

·If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of LP gas escaping from the cylinder:

1)Evacuate all people from the grilling area.

2)Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.

3)Call the local fire department.

·The LP gas cylinder, for use with the Aussie LP gas grills, must meet the following requirements:

1)12” diameter x 18” tall, 20 lb maximum capacity

2)Overfill Prevention Device (OPD) safety feature (should be noted on cylinder)

3)Must be constructed and marked in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN\CSA-B339. (See collar for marking)

4)Must have collar to protect LP cylinder valve.

·Never use an LP gas cylinder if it shows signs of: dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked by a liquid propane supplier.

·The LP gas cylinder should never be filled more than 80% of cylinder volume. (20 lb. maximum) Do not ask the propane supplier to over-fill the cylinder.

·WARNING! Never store an LP cylinder indoors. Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

·WARNING! Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the grill. All spare and disconnected LP gas cylinders must have safety caps installed on the LP cylinder valve.

·LP gas is not natural gas. The conversion or attempted use of natural gas in an LP unit or LP gas in a natural gas unit is dangerous and will void your warranty.

·Never attempt to repair an LP gas cylinder valve yourself. See an authorized LP gas cylinder dealer for repairs.

·When transporting an LP gas cylinder, keep it secured in an upright position with cylinder valve turned to off position.

Connecting/ Disconnecting LP

Gas Cylinder to Grill

·Do not operate the LP gas grill when the LP gas cylinder is not attached to the cart as shown in the Assembly Instructions.

·Always check for gas leaks when you disconnect and reconnect the regulator to the LP gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, over winter).

·Check tubes that lead into the burner for any blockage from insects, spiders, or food grease before using.

·Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes, or leaks.

·Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose or tubing.

·Make sure Regulator Hose does not contact hot metal surfaces.
