Propane Cylinder Installation

Cylinder Connection: Ensure that the gas regulator hose is kink free. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder fuel valve. Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve. Hand tighten clockwise. Do not use tools. Leak test all joints prior to using the barbecue. A leak test must be performed annually, and each time a cylinder is hooked up, or if a part of the gas system is replaced.

•Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.

•Check that the grill’s burner knobs are in the off position.

•Open cabinet doors.

•Place the cylinder into the tank holder in bottom of shelf.

•Position the cylinder so that the valve faces toward the front of the unit.

•Attach regulator hose.

WARNING! Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this barbecue. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be specified by the manufacturer. Do not store a spare propane cylinder on the shelf beneath the barbecue. The regulator must be attached so that no part of the hose touches the underside of the grill or drippan. A fire will result if these directions are ignored.

The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches. water column to the gas grill and has a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with a QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to attain full flow to the grill, the valves must be in the off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.

Natural Gas Hook-Up

This natural gas grill is supplied with a 10ft supply hose (complete with a quick disconnect) designed for natural gas and certified for outdoor use. The gas grill is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches water column. Piping and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied. The installation must comply with CAN B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installation code in Canada, or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be sufficiently sized to supply the BTU/h specified on the rating plate, based on the length of the piping run. The quick disconnect must not be installed in an upward direction and a readily accessible manual shut-off valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to, the quick disconnect as is feasible. The flared end of the hose must be connected to the fitting on the end of the flex tube as illustrated in the Natural Gas Hose Attachment diagram. Tighten using two wrenches. (Do not use thread sealer/pipe dope.) These connections must be made by a licensed gas installer. Leak test all joints prior to using the gas grill.

WARNING!

•The installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and all connections must be leak tested before operating the grill.

•Do not route hose underneath drip pan.

•Do not route hose between space in bottom shelf and back panel.

•Do not route hose over top of back panel.

•Ensure all hose connections are tightened using two wrenches. Do not use teflon tape or pipe dope on any hose connection.

•Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces, or it may melt and leak causing a fire.

•Do not use enclosure to store excess hose, as there is a greater chance of the hose contacting a hot surface, it may melt and leak causing a fire.

•Leak test all the connections using a soap and water solution, as per the leak testing instructions found in the this manual.
