Transportation And Storage - Kenmore 259.162170 Assembly And Operation Manual

2. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE:

WARNING:
Although it is safe when used properly, careless
handling of the propane gas cylinder could result in fire,
explosion, and/or serious injury.
PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, AND WILL COLLECT IN
LOW AREAS, INCREASING THE ABOVE RISKS THEREFORE:
• ALWAYS use the cylinder
cap provided with your
cylinder whenever the
cylinder is not connected
to your grill. (Figure 4)
• DO NOT store in a
building, garage or any
other enclosed area.
Store in a well-ventilated
area.
• DO NOT store near any
gas burning apparatus or
in any high-heat areas such as a closed car or trunk.
• Transport and store the cylinder in an upright position -- do
not tip on its side.
• Store out of reach of children.
• DO NOT smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.
FILLING:
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IF AN OPTIONAL L.P. GAS
CYLINDER WAS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR GRILL, IT HAS
BEEN SHIPPED EMPTY. THE CYLINDER MUST BE PURGED
OF AIR AND FILLED PRIOR TO USING ON YOUR GRILL.
WHEN GETTING YOUR CYLINDER FILLED:
• Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to fill or repair your
cylinder.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% full.
• Make sure the L.P. gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks
after filling.
If the above instructions are not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
HOSE & REGULATOR
PROPANE GAS MODELS:
Your grill is designed to operate
on L.P. (propane) gas at a
pressure regulated at 11" water
column(2.74 kPa). A regulator
preset to this pressure is supplied
with the grill and MUST be used.
This regulator is equipped with
the Q.C.C. Type 1, quick connect
coupling system, which
incorporates the following safety
features: (Figure 5)
• It will not allow gas to flow until a
positive seal has been made. (Figure 6)
• It has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas
between 240 and 300°F (115 and150°C).
• It also has a flow-limiting device which,when activated, will
restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour (0.28 cubic
meters per hour).
