Notes about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs

Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP gas tank through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their tanks. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety feature equipped tank as described in the LP gas tank section of this manual.

Always keep new and exchanged LP gas tanks in an upright position during use, transit or storage.

Leak test new and exchanged LP gas tanks BEFORE connecting one to your grill.

How to Leak Test your LP Gas Tank

For your safety:

All leak tests must be repeated each time your LP gas tank is exchanged or refilled.

Do not smoke when checking for gas leaks.

Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

Your grill must be leak tested outdoors in a

well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During the leak test, keep your grill away from open flames or sparks.

Do not use household cleaning agents as damage to

gas assembly components can occur.

[] Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution.

[] Brush soapy solution onto the LP gas tank in the areas indicated by the arrows. See diagram.

[] If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP Gas tank. Call an LP gas supplier or your fire department.

The gas pressure regulator provided with this outdoor cooking appliance must be used. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11 inches water column.

Regulator:

Your regulator is equipped with a Q.C.C. Type 1 quick connect system. It will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been made. It has a thermal element that will shut off the gas flow if

the temperature reaches 240 degrees F (115

degrees C). It also has a flow-limiting device that will restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour (0.28 cubic meters per hour).
