For Your Additional Safety

Current refillable L.P. gas cylinders are fitted with an Overfill Protection Device (O.P.D.). To insure that you retain this safety-device, take your cylinder to an L.P. gas service station for filling, or when exchanging your cylinder at a cylinder exchange station, request that your replacement cylinder be fitted with the O.P.D. feature.

YOUR NEW GAS GRILL IS EQUIPPED WITH A TYPE 1 CONNECTION DEVICE WHICH HAS 3 SAFETY FEATURES (FIG. 57):

1.Proof of gas seal between the connector and the cylinder before gas flow takes place.

2.A flow-limiting device designed to limit the flow of gas in the event of a regulator or hose failure.

3.The connection has a thermal shut-off which will stop the flow of gas if the connection reaches a certain temperature.

For Your Additional Safety (continued)

CURRENT GAS CYLINDERS ARE ALSO EQUIPPED WITH AN OVERFILL PROTECTION DEVICE (O.P.D.) WHICH GREATLY REDUCES THE CHANCE OF ACCIDENTALLY OVERFILLING THE CYLINDER.

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING L.P. GAS CYLINDERS:

It is important to insure that your gas cylinder is properly purged before it is filled. If you purchase a new cylinder, please inform your propane gas dealer that this is a new cylinder and needs to be properly purged before being filled.

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING TYPE 1 CONNECTION DEVICES:

If you notice very small flames on the burner(s), you may have accidentally activated the flow-limiting device in the Type 1 connection device. Besides a rupture in the gas hose, the flow-limiting device may activate for one of the two following reasons:

1.Opening the burner valves before opening the cylinder valve. SOLUTION: Shut off the burner valves and the L.P. cylinder valve and open in the proper order:

a). Open the L.P. cylinder valve first, then b). Open burner valve and ignite the burner

according to the instructions in this manual for your grill.

IF YOU STILL HAVE A PROBLEM, THEN THERE MAY BE AIR IN THE CYLINDER DUE TO IMPROPER PURGING.

2.The L.P. cylinder was not properly purged before it was filled. SOLUTION: See your L.P. gas supplier.
