LP Gas Cylinder
QCC®-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder
equipped with the QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling system.
The QCC®-1 system incorporates safety features required by
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the
Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been
made.
A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas
between 240° and 300° F.
When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet / hour.
The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Oven. Be
sure to purchase one with the QCC® valve. This valve is
recognized by the external threads on the inlet port of the
valve. QCC® equipped cylinders are available from your gas
smoker dealer.
NOTE: Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of
adapters or any other means, to any other valve could
result in damage, fire or injury and may negate the
important safety features in the QCC®-1 system.

recognized by the external threads on the inlet port of the
valve.
A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure. Always
handle carefully and transport in the upright position. Protect
the valve from accidental damage.
If the cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the regulator,
shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and have it
checked before using it again.

If you intend to store the appliance indoors, disconnect and
remove the LP gas cylinder first. Disconnected cylinders
must have a dust cap installed and must not be stored in a
building, garage, or any enclosed area.
When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas appliance,
the gas appliance and LP gas cylinder must be stored
outside in a well-ventilated place.
Keep out of the reach of children.
OPERATION
Never connect your gas oven to an LP gas cylinder without
the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided, and
NEVER TO AN UNREGULATED LP GAS SUPPLY.
Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator connection
when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the appliance. See
"Leak Testing." (page 5)
Do not operate if the smell of LP gas is present. Extinguish all
flames and determine source of LP gas before proceeding.
