INSTALLATION
GAS HOOK-UP
LPG GAS HOOK UP
Grills set for use with LPG gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 9 kg LPG POL cylinder. The LPG cylinder is not included.
Connection: 1/2” NPT male with a 3/8” Flare adapter (included). LPG Hose with a POL fitting and fittings are in-
cluded. Operating pressure: 2.75 kPa. Maximum supply pressure: 1750 kPa.
CAUTION!
Before connecting LPG cylinder to regulator, check that all knobs are in the OFF position and open grill hood.
To connect the LPG regulator/hose assembly to the cylinder/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the cylinder is completely closed. You should always turn off the LPG cylinder main valve (Fig. 12) after each use and during transport of the cylinder or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the cylinder valve and turn clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main cylinder valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HI” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge, turn valves off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the burners.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the cylinder valve opening if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LPG filling station should be equipped with the proper equip- ment to fill your cylinder.
LPG CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS:
A dented or rusty LPG cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your LPG supplier. The cylinder that is used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Al- ways check for leaks after every LPG cylinder change. The LPG gas cylinder must conform to AS2030.1:2009 and designed for use with a POL fitting only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit. The cylinder must be provided with a
Note:
When an LPG unit is being directly connected to an LPG house system, you must follow the natural gas hook up guide- lines. The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the gas flow to 2.75 kPa.
Note:
The Grill comes with the LPG Regulator/Hose assembly installed at the factory. The assembly, along with the entire Grill system, is leak tested. Do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the Grill during installation.
WARNING :
1.Do not remove the Grill from the pallet until you are ready to install.
2.Do not place the Grill directly on the ground or any other flat surface without support. This will prevent damaging the regulator/hose assembly by the weight of the grill.
3.Check the hose, regulator and connectors for damage. Look for cracks, abrasions, brittleness, holes, dents and nicks.
4.Do not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the Regu- lator/Hose assembly by yourself. It must be done by a qualified licensed gas fitter only.
