Purchase a full cylinder of gas from your gas dealer
The cylinder must always be installed, transported and
stored in an upright position. Never allow the cylinder to
drop or be handled carelessly. Never store cylinder
where temperatures can exceed 51° C (too hot to hold
by hand). For example, do not leave the cylinder in your
car on hot days. (See Section "Safe handling tips for LP
gas".)

Gas Instructions

Connecting the Liquid Propane
Cylinder
WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is
closed. Close by turning valve clockwise.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
Sparks or flames will result in a fire or
explosion that can cause serious bodily
injury or death, and damage to property.
You will need: LP cylinder, a soap and water solution and
a rag or brush to apply it.
1) Connect the hose and regulator.
The regulator illustrations shown in this manual, may not be
similar to the one you are using for your barbecue, due to
different country or region regulations.
Some regulators push ON to connect, and pull OFF to
disconnect, others have a nut that has a left-hand thread
that connects to the cylinder valve. Follow specific regulator
connection instruction.
Position the regulator so that the vent hole faces down.
2) Mix soap and water.
3) Turn on the cylinder valve.
4) Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and
water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles
form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fitting. Turn
the gas back on and recheck with the soap and water
solution.
If leak does not stop, Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your region using the contact information
sheet provided with your manual. Do not use the barbecue.
5) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply OFF
at the source and rinse connections with water.
