This gas barbecue is certified under Canadian and American national standards, CAN/CGA-1.6b-2002 and ANSI Z21.58b - 2002
respectively for outdoor gas grills and should be installed to conform with local codes. In absence of local codes, install to the current
National Fuel Gas Code CAN/CGA-B149.1 or ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, natural gas and propane installation code. When installed, the
unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in absence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian
electrical code in Canada or the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the United States.
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this barbecue. Replacement pressure regulators and hose
assemblies must be specified by the manufacturer. Do not store propane cylinder or spare cylinder on the shelf beneath the
barbecue. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. If the preceding information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death
or serious injury may occur.
The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches water column to the gas grill and has a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used
with this unit must be supplied with a Sherwood #3349 QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection,
which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to
attain full flow to the barbecue, the gas grill valves must be in the off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
PROPANE CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS: A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane
supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) or the US Department of Transportation (DOT).
This appliance has been designed for use with a 20lb. (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied). The propane cylinder must
be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct commu-
nication with the vapour space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapour withdrawal and the cylinder
shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection device).
