General Information

This gas barbecue is certified under Canadian and American national standards, CAN/CGA-1.6b-2002 and ANSI Z21.58b - 2002 respectively for outdoor gas grills and should be installed to conform with local codes. In absence of local codes, install to the current National Fuel Gas Code CAN/CGA-B149.1 or ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, natural gas and propane installation code. When installed, the unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in absence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian electrical code in Canada or the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the United States.

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 propane cylinder or spare cylinder on the shelf beneath the barbecue. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. If the preceding information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

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 Sherwood #3349 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 barbecue, the gas grill valves must be in the off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.

PROPANE CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS: 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 Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) or the US Department of Transportation (DOT). This appliance has been designed for use with a 20lb. (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied). 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 commu- nication with the vapour space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapour withdrawal and the cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection device).

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: The burning of gas fuel creates by products, some of which are on the list as substances known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. When cooking with gas, always ensure adequate ventilation to the unit, to minimize exposure to such substances.

Leak test the unit before initial use, annually and

whenever any gas components are replaced.

Follow lighting instructions carefully when operating grill. Burner controls must be off when turning supply cylinder valve on.

Ensure sear plates are positioned properly according to sear plate installation instructions.

Clean grease tray and sear plates regularly to avoid build-up which may lead to grease fires.

Remove warming rack before lighting rear burner. (The extreme heat will damage the warming rack.)
