Propane Cylinder Specifications

WARNING!
If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
WARNING!
Do not store a spare propane cylinder on the shelf beneath the barbecue.
If the gas grill is being supplied with propane from a portable cylinder, a regulator specified by the manufacturer
must be used. The regulator must supply a pressure of 11 inches water column (0.39 PSI) to the gas grill and
have 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 grill, the valves must be in the off
position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
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.). Cart models have been designed for
use with a 20 lb (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 vapor
space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor 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 the preceding information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.

Gas Hook-Up Instructions

WARNING!
A fire will result if the gas supply hose makes contact with the underside of the grill or drip pan.
Propane Cylinder Installation: Set cylinder into hole in bottom shelf. Other cylinders may be acceptable provided
they fit properly into the tank retaining ring.
