2. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE:

WARNING: Although it is safe when used properly, careless handling of the propane gas cylinder could result in fire, explosion, and/or serious injury.

PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW AREAS, INCREASING THE ABOVE RISKS THEREFORE:

ALWAYS use the cylinder

cylinder

whenever

the

 

cylinder

is not

connected

 

to your grill. (Figure 4)

• DO NOT store near any

 

 

gas

burning apparatus

or

 

in any

high-heat areas such as a closed car or trunk.

 

Transport and store the cylinder in an upright position -- do not tip on its side.

Store out of reach of children.

DO NOT smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.

FILLING:

FOR SAFETY REASONS, IF AN OPTIONAL L.P. GAS

CYLINDER WAS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR GRILL, IT HAS

BEEN SHIPPED EMPTY. THE CYLINDER MUST BE PURGED OF AIR AND FILLED PRIOR TO USING ON YOUR GRILL.

WHEN GETTING YOUR CYLINDER FILLED:

Allow only a qualified UP. gas dealer to fill or repair your cylinder.

DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% full.

Make sure the L.P. gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after filling.

If the above instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury

Prior to attaching the propane cylinder to the hose and regulator, be sure the cylinder valve and the appliance valves are OFF. The

cylinder valve is turned off by rotating the handwheel (see Figure 3) clockwise (left to right) until it stops and all appliance valves should be in the off position. When attaching the regulator to the cylinder, make sure that the small probe in the nipple is centered in the

mating Q.C.C. 1 cylinder valve (see Figure 6). Turn the right hand threaded Q.C.C.1 black nut onto the valve in a clockwise motion

until there is a positive stop. DO NOT USE A WRENCH, HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.

Should the large black thermally sensitive coupling nut be exposed to temperatures above 240 and 300°F, it will soften and allow the regulator probe to disengage from the cylinder valve -- thereby shutting off the flow of gas. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut. Remove the entire regulator assembly, and replace it with a new one. (See 'REPLACEMENT PARTS' section in assembly instructions or contact us at 1-800-396-3838)

The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before operating your grill again. The regulator probe also contains a flow-sensing element, which will limit the flow of gas to the regulator to a manageable amount (10 cubic feet per hour) in the event of a hose or regulator rupture. If it is evident that the flow control device has been activated, the cause of the excessive flow should be determined and corrected before using your grill again.

Please refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 34 or contact us 1-800-396-3838.

NOTE: IMPROPER LIGHTING PROCEDURES CAN CAUSE THE FLOW CONTROL TO ACTIVATE, RESULTING IN REDUCED HEAT OUTPUT. IF THIS IS SUSPECTED, RESET THE FLOW CONTROL BY SHUTTING OFF ALL BURNER CONTROLS AND THE CYLINDER VALVE. WAIT

30 SECONDS, THEN TURN THE CYLINDER VALVE ON EXTREMELY SLOWLY - WAIT 5 SECONDS AND TURN THE BURNER VALVE ON AND LIGHTAS NORMAL.

It will not allow gas to flow until a

positive seal has been made. (Figure 6)

It has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas between 240 and 300°F (115 and150°C).

It also has a flow-limiting device which,when activated, will restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour (0.28 cubic meters per hour).

• Visually inspect the entire length of the hose assembly

before each use of the grill. If it is evident there is

excessive abrasion/wear, or the hose is cut, it must be

replaced prior to using your grill. Only the hose assembly

as specified in the Parts List should be used.

• Follow the 'LEAK TEST' instructions before lighting your

grill for the first time, every time a propane cylinder is

refilled, if any gas component is changed, if the regulator

flow-limiting device has been activated, after prolonged

periods of storage or non-use or at least once per season.
