Plug electrical cord into properly grounded GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) receptacle. If use of an extension cord is required, be sure that it is a minimum 16 AWG,
3 wire well insulated cord, marked
for OUTDOOR USE ONLY and properly grounded. (Fig.14)
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly earthed outlets only.
L.P. GAS CYLINDER
Gas cylinders manufactured today have mechanisms to provide worry free barbequing year round:
Q.C.C.1 or Type
O.P.D. or Overfill Protection Device prevents accidental gas leaks caused by cylinder “over pressurization”, the leading cause of cylinder gas leaks. The float in the tank will automatically stop filling at 80% capacity, leaving a 20% area for the expansion of liquid. Without this safety feature, the relief valve may open and discharge propane, creating a potential safety hazard. An O.P.D. cylinder is easily distinguished by its triangular hand wheel valve. (Figure 3)
Any attempt to connect a regulator, with other than the:
i)Mating Type 1 connector (recognized by the large black coupling nut) or
ii)Standard #510 P.O.L. fitting,
by use of adapters or any other means, could result in damage, fire or injury and may negate the important safety features designed into the Type 1 system. The connection of a #510 P.O.L. fitting will not provide the flow control or temperature
We strongly recommend use of a propane cylinder with Q.C.C.I and O.P.D. safety features.
THE CYLINDER MUST ALSO BE EQUIPPED WITH:
TM
Look for the Gas Guardian symbol to easily identify propane cylinders with these safety features.

SAFETY:
• Always turn off the cylinder valve tightly when your barbeque is not in use. | |
• | Handle tank valves with care. |
• | Never connect an unregulated L.P. gas cylinder to your barbeque. |
• | Never store a spare cylinder under or near your barbeque when in use. |
• | Never subject any cylinder to excessive heat or direct sunlight. |
• | Always keep your |
