GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The grill is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column (WC) and is for use
with LP gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas tank. Contact your gas supplier for a
special regulator for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion
or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used.
INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER
1.
From the side of the cart, rest the 9 kg (20 lbs) tank onto the ground. Make
sure the tank valve is in OFF position. Ensure the tank is completely upright,
as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the gas tank is not installed properly.
2. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by turning the
knob clockwise to the OFF position.
3.
Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening and the top
of the gas cylinder. Save the caps.
4. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the regulator
valve. Turn the cylinder clockwise until firm. Hand-tighten only. Fig 1.
5.
Gas cylinder is now installed.
PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING:
WARNING: NEVER USE YOUR GRILL WITHOUT LEAK TESTING ALL GAS CONNECTIONS, HOSES AND PROPANE TANK.
DANGER: TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD:
•
Do not smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
•
Perform test OUTDOORS in a well ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
•
Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
•
Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use or while grill is still hot.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
•
After assembling your grill and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled.
•
Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are disconnected or replaced.
CHECK FOR LEAKS
CAUTION: Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of propane by smell. Use caution
and common sense when testing for leaks.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that is quiet, out of wind, and has adequate lighting in order to see if
bubbles are developing or so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
1.
Create a mixture 50% water and 50% liquid dish washing soap.
2. Open the lid.
3.
Ensure all control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
4. Turn on the gas at the cylinder valve. Turn the cylinder valve knob counter-clockwise to fully open. If you hear a rushing sound or
smell gas, turn the gas off. Tighten an leaking connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop leak,
re-inspect propane tank rubber seal.
