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 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 National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-b339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable or the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). 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 cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
appliances. 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 a listed OPD
(overfill protection device). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80
percent full. If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: The burning of gas fuel creates by-products, some of which are on the list as substances
known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. When cooking with gas, always ensure adequate
ventilation to the unit, to minimize exposure to such substances.
