GENERAL INFORMATION

THIS GAS BARBECUE IS CERTIFIED UNDER CANADIAN AND AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS, CAN/CGA-1.6-M95
AND ANSI Z21.58 -1995 RESPECTIVELY FOR OUTDOOR GAS GRILLS AND SHOULD BE INSTALLED to conform with local
codes. In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-B149.2 Propane Installation Code in Canada or to the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 in the United States.
If a rotisserie motor is used, it 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.
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 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 communication 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 an OPD
(overfill protection device).

IMPORTANT DO'S AND DON'TS

DO'S
Read the entire instruction manual before operating the
gas grill.
Maintain proper clearance to combustibles (16" to rear of
unit, 7" to sides). Additional clearance is recommended near
vinyl siding or large panes of glass.
Leak test the unit before initial use, annually and
whenever any gas components are replaced.
Follow lighting instructions carefully when operating
grill. Burner controls must be off when turning supply
cylinder valve on.
Ensure sear plates are positioned properly according to
sear plate installation instructions. The holes must be
towards the front of the gas grill.
Clean grease tray and sear plates regularly to avoid
build-up which may lead to grease fires.
Remove warming rack before lighting rear burner. (The
extreme heat will damage the warming rack.)
DON'TS
Do not attempt to use a tank which is not equipped with a
QCC-1 type connection.
Do not route hose underneath drip pan - proper hose
clearance to bottom of unit must be maintained.
Do not use condiment tray to store lighters, matches or
any other combustibles.
Do not locate unit under unprotected combustible con-
struction.
Do not operate rear burner with main burners operating.
Do not leave grill unattended when operating.
Do not light burners with lid closed.
Do not move grill when hot or operating.
Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to
come in contact with heated unit. A large temperature
differential can cause chipping in the porcelain.
