Propane Cylinder Specifications

WARNING! If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-b339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable or the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). This appliance has been designed for use with a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).

The propane cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection device). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

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 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.

Gas Hook-Up Instructions

WARNING! A fire will result if the gas supply hose makes contact with the underside of the grill or drip pan.

Propane Cylinder Installation: Set cylinder into hole in bottom shelf.

Cylinder Connection: Ensure 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 grill. 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.

If this grill is to be connected directly to a house propane gas supply line, follow the instructions for the natural gas hook-up. Optional side burners must also follow the natural gas hook-up instructions. Note: The propane tank heat shield is not required when the grill is connected to a fixed fuel supply, as its sole function is to shield the propane tank normally used with the grill. Ensure that the supply pressure is 11 inches water column.
