PROPANE GAS GRILLS (cont.)
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation shall be in accordance with
Warning: Superb by Broilmaster® Gas Grills require Liquid Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an Overfill Protection Device (OPD). An overfilled or improperly filled Propane cylinder can be dangerous.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your Propane gas grill.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compatible. Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well as external fitting threads.
All Broilmaster pressure regulators and hose assemblies require Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device as illustrated.
See Figure 16.
Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly
The pressure regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than eleven (11”) inches water column. It must be connected to the Propane gas cylinder’s female valve outlet before the grill can be operated.
Caution: Operation of a propane gas grill without the pressure regulator and hose assembly will cause gas leaks which could lead to fire or explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
The pressure regulator’s fitting must remain clean and free of nicks and scratches. A dirty, nicked or scratched fitting can cause a gas leak, resulting in an explosion or fire. Use only genuine Broilmaster® replacement parts unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
Connecting to Propane Gas / Cylinder Retention Means
Attention: Propane gas cylinders that are acceptable for use with this grill must comply with “Cylinder Requirements” section and “Connection Requirements” section (Pages 16 - 17.)
Open caddy door. Position the cylinder in the opening at the bottom of the caddy. See Figure 15.
If you are using natural gas or a fixed fuel propane gas supply a 3/8 NPT flare is provided for LP tank. Check for gas leaks as discussed in the “Checking for Gas Leaks” Section of this manual on page 9.
Figure 15
Attach the pressure regulator to the Propane gas cylinder’s valve using the plastic handwheel. Tighten in a clockwise motion to achieve a gas tight seal. See Figure 16.
Figure 16
Caution: Do not use a wrench or any other tool to tighten. Use of a wrench or other tool will damage the plastic handwheel.
Figure 17
To disconnect the Propane gas cylinder, turn OFF the cylinder’s valve and the grill’s control valve. Remove the regulator by turning the plastic handwheel counterclockwise.
