Important LP Tank Safety Information
To avoid risk of fire or explosion, take the following safety precautions:
ƒ
Never replace the liquid propane regulator or hose
with a different type than the model supplied.
ƒ
Never connect the grill to anything other than the
fuel source indicated on the serial plate. Factory
conversion kits are available for switching fuel
sources. Contact Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet
or an authorized dealer for details. Conversion kit
installation must be done by a qualified technician.
ƒ
The LP-gas cylinder must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve from damage.
An LP cylinder should never be overfilled beyond
ƒ
the cylinder filling capacity. Overfilling may
created a dangerous condition. Overfilled tanks
can build up excess pressure. The standard safety
device on tanks is the safety relief valve. This
valve vents propane gas vapors to relieve excess
pressure. These vapors are combustible and can
be ignited.
ƒ
Always ensure proper ventilation of the cylinder.
See next page for proper ventilation required in
an enclosure to safely dissipate gas vapors if there
Cylinder Requirements: For use with 20-pound (9kg) Type 1 LP cylinder with a UL listed Type 1,
QCC-1 valve.
Cylinder must have an overfilling prevention
ƒ
device. Cylinder must be provided with a
cylinder connection device compatible with the
connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for
leaks after connecting an LP tank.
DANGER:
A.
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance;
B.
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; and
C.
If instructions A and B are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur.

is a leak in your enclosure. The cylinder supply
system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
Cylinder must always be oriented in an upright
position (Fig 1).
ƒ

constructed and marked in accordance with
the specifications for LP-gas cylinders, U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) or the
standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, CAN/
CSA-B339.
ƒ
When the grill is not in use, the gas must be
disconnected at the supply cylinder.
ƒ
The grill may be stored indoors, but only if the
cylinder is disconnected and removed from the
grill. An LP cylinder MUST NEVER BE STORED
INDOORS.

reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Other size LP cylinders may be acceptable for use
ƒ
with grill provided they are compatible with the
retention means depicted in Figure 2.

Required ventilation for built-in LP-gas cylinder structures:
An enclosure for an LP-gas cylinder shall be ventilated by openings at both the upper and lower levels of the
enclosure. The effectiveness of the opening(s) for purposes of ventilation shall be determined with the LP-gas
supply cylinder in place. This shall be accompanied by one of the following:
A.
One side of the enclosure shall be completely open; or
B.
For an enclosure having four sides, a top and a bottom:
1.
At least two ventilation openings shall be provided in the side
walls of the enclosure, located within 5 in (217 mm) of the top
of the enclosure, equally sized, spaced at a minimum of 90
degrees (1.57 rad), and unobstructed. The opening(s) shall
2
have a total free area of not less than 1 in
stored fuel capacity.
2.
Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at floor level of the
enclosure and shall have a total free area of not less than
2
2
1/2 in
/lb (7.1 cm
/kg) of stored fuel capacity. If ventilation
openings at floor level are in a side wall, there shall be at least
two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be 1 in (25.4
mm) or less from the floor level and the upper edge no more
than 5 in (127 mm) above the floor level. The openings shall
be equally sized, spaced at a minimum of 90 degrees and
unobstructed.
3.
Every opening shall be a minimum of a 1/8 in (3.2 mm)
diameter.
4.
Ventilation openings in side walls shall not communicate
directly with other enclosures of the outdoor cooking gas
appliance.
5.
A door on the enclosure to gain access to the cylinder is
acceptable, provided it is non locking and can be opened
without the use of tools.
C.
Some means of retention (chain, bracketry, cut-out) must be used to
hold cylinder in place inside enclosure.
D.
There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 in (50.8 mm) between the
floor of the LP-gas cylinder enclosure and the ground.
DANGER:
Do not route the gas supply hose or locate
a propane cylinder in a way that may create
a tripping hazard. Tripping over, or getting
caught on, a gas supply hose may tip the
grill over or damage the hose, creating
serious risk of injury and fire.
