LP Cylinder Installation
1.Open the right door and slide out the cylinder support. Set the LP cylinder in the cylinder support location with the outlet valve facing toward the right side of the grill (Fig. 11).
2.Insert the TYPE 1 Nipple of the regulator into the cylinder’s fuel valve outlet as shown (Fig. 12). Turn the regulator hand wheel clockwise to tighten. No tools are needed. The hand wheel will come to a complete stop when the connection is secure, and the gas will not flow until a positive seal is achieved.
3.Slide the cylinder support back into the grill (Fig. 13).
IMPORTANT!
TO ENSURE PROPER GAS FLOW, BURNER
CONTROL VALVES MUST BE “OFF” BEFORE
OPENING THE GAS CYLINDER VALVE.
WARNING: During assembly of the grill and when attaching or replacing the L.P. gas cylinder, insure that the gas supply hose is free of kinks and/or damage and is at least 3 inches away from hot surfaces such as the grill casting.
