Brinkmann 7231 Series Filling the LP GAS Cylinder, Installing the LP GAS Cylinder Onto the Grill

WARNING

FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:

•Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or repair your LP gas cylinder.

•New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP gas dealer if you are using a new tank.

•DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a dangerous condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and cause the relief valve to expel propane gas vapors. The vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a spark source or flame an explosion causing severe burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.

•Always use a protective cylinder cap when grill is not connected to cylinder.

•If you exchange a cylinder with a qualified exchange program, be sure the cylinder has a Type 1 valve and an over-filling prevention device (OPD).

INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER ONTO THE GRILL:

1.Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.

2.Place the cylinder into the tank holder in the bottom of cart base.

3. Orient the cylinder such that the valve opening faces the side burner, and so that the hose is not kinked or damaged.

4.Lift tank lock wire to secure cylinder into tank holder.

5.Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only when cylinder is at rest in tank holder.

HOSE AND REGULATOR:

Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the following features:

1.The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a positive connection to the valve has been made.

Note: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any connection is made or removed.

2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to 150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator assembly and dispose of properly. A replacement regulator assembly can be purchased by contacting customer service at 800-527-0717. The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and corrected before using your grill again.

3. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device is activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.

REGULATOR RESETTING PROCEDURE

1.Turn burner control knobs to "OFF", turn off the cylinder valve and disconnect regulator from LP gas tank. Wait approximately two minutes.

2.Reattach regulator and slowly turn cylinder valve back on. The flow limiting device will now be reset.
