Hose And Regulator - Kenmore ELITE 125.16651900 Use & Care Manual

HOSE AND REGULATOR:
Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the
following features:
1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a
positive connection to the valve has been made.
Note: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any
connection is made or removed.
2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is
subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to
150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator
assembly and dispose of properly. In order to insure proper
operation, any replacement of the fuel tank regulator assembly
has to be done with parts authorized by the grill manufacturer.
The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and
corrected before using your grill again.
3. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device is
activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.
REGULATOR RESETTING PROCEDURE:
1.
2.
Make sure that all burners are off. Turn off the cylinder valve
and disconnect regulator from LP gas tank. Wait approximately
two minutes.
Reattach regulator and slowly turn cylinder valve back on. The
flow limiting device will now be reset.
Never use your grill without leak testing all gas
connections and hoses. See the section on "Leak
Testing" in this manual for proper procedures.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with your gas grill must be used.
DO NOT attempt to connect grill, as purchased for LP
(propane) gas, to any other fuel supply source such as
a natural gas line.
DO NOT use any other pressure regulator/hose
assembly other than the one supplied with your grill.
Replacement pressure regulator/hose assembly must
be done with identical replacement parts.
DO NOT attempt to adjust or repair the regulator. The
regulator is designed to operate at a maximum output
pressure of 11 inches of water column (2.74 kPa).
During assembly and/or replacement of the gas cylinder, keep the
gas supply hose free of kinks and/or damage.
Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of
damage, excess wear, or deterioration. If found, replace the
assembly before using your grill. In order to insure proper operation,
any replacement of the hose assembly must be done with identical
replacement parts. Call 1-800-848-8915 for replacement parts.
CONNECTING HOSE AND REGULATOR
TO AN LP GAS CYLINDER
Ensure the tank valve is CLOSED prior to connecting
the LP gas cylinder to your grill. Turn the valve knob
clockwise to properly close the valve. Read and follow
all instructions and warnings on the supply hose safety
tags. Read and follow all warnings in this manual
concerning the safe use of LP gas cylinders and the
hose and regulator before connecting cylinder to grill.

Make sure that all burners are off.
Remove the protective plastic cap from the cylinder valve and the
connection device.
Hold regulator and insert the nipple of connection device into the
LP cylinder valve outlet. Ensure that the device is centered
properly.
Turn the large coupling nut clockwise by hand and tighten to a
full stop. Take care not to cross thread the coupling nut onto the
cylinder valve. Do not over-tighten the knob onto the valve. Do
not use tools to tighten connection.
Note: If you are unable to make the connection, repeat
Steps 4 and 5.
Check that the hose does not contain kinks, does not contact
sharp edges, and does not contact surfaces that may become
hot during use.
Leak check all fittings before lighting your grill. See section on
"Leak Testing" in this manual.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
• DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area
while conducting a leak test.
• Perform test OUTDOORS only in a well ventilated area.
• Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
• Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use or
while grill is still hot.
