LP GAS CYLINDER HOSE & REGULATOR
4
HANDLING
1. Government regulations prohibit shipping full LP gas cylinders.
You must take your new cylinder to a LP gas dealer for filling.
2. A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure. Always
handle carefully and transport in the upright position. Protect
the valve from accidental damage.
3. Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the
regulator. Fasten the LP gas cylinder securely during
transport, use and storage.
4. If the LP gas cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the
regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and have it
checked before using it again.
STORAGE
1. Store the LP gas cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
2. Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight, near a
source of heat or combustion.
3. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder in an enclosure.
Disconnected cylinders must have a dust cap installed and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any enclosed area.
4. Keep out of the reach of children.
5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill, the gas
grill and LP gas cylinder must be operated outside in a
properly ventilated place.
OPERATION
1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas cylinder without the
regulator provided, and NEVER TO AN UNREGULATED LP
GAS SUPPLY. The regulator supplied with the barbecue must
be used.
2. Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator connection
when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the appliance. See
“Leak Testing” (page 5).
3. Do not operate appliance if the smell of LP gas is present.
Extinguish all flame and determine source of LP gas leak before
proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance until the LP gas leak
has been found and sealed.
4. Always shut off LP gas cylinder valve when the appliance is
not in use.
1. LP gas grills are equipped with a hose and regulator with a
QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
2. The QCC®-1 coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting
Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a leak
between the regulator and the appliance valve. This device will
activate if the cylinder valve is opened while the appliance
valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off
before the cylinder valve is opened to prevent accidental
activation.
3. The QCC®-1 coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand
wheel that will cause the back check module in the QCC®-1
cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between
240° and 300°F. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect
the hand wheel. Remove hose/regulator assembly and replace
with a new one.
4. The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC (water
column) and is for use with LP gas only. The hose and hose
couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No
modifications or substitutions should be attempted.
5. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the
hose to touch any hot surface, including the base casting of
the barbecue.
6. Inspect the seal in the QCC®-1 cylinder valve when replacing
the LP gas cylinder or once per year whichever is more
frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks,
creases, or abrasion.
7. Inspect the hose before each use. If the hose is cracked, cut,
abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be
operated.
8. For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator assembly,
contact customer service.
CONNECTION
1. Be sure LP gas cylinder valve and appliance valves are “OFF.”
2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP gas cylinder well and secure as
per assembly instructions.
3. Center the nipple in the LP gas cylinder valve and hold in
place. Using other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until
there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tighten only.
When making the connection, hold the regulator in a parallel
with the LP gas cylinder valve, so as not to cross thread the
connection.
4. Leak test connections. See “Leak Testing” (Page 5).
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the
Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open LP gas cylinder
valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow
Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn LP cylinder valve
off then turn all burners to OFF position. Disconnect the
regulator from the cylinder. Wait two minutes. Re-attach
regulator to the cylinder. Open the cylinder valve slowly. Wait
one minute. Light grill as per “Lighting” (page 7).
DISCONNECTION
Always close LP gas cylinder valve and remove coupling nut before
moving LP gas cylinder from specified operation position.
