Propane Cylinder Specifications
WARNING!
If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.
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.). This appliance has 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.
Propane Cylinder Installation
Cylinder Connection: Ensure that the gas regulator hose is kink free. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder
fuel valve. Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel valve. Hand tighten clockwise. Do not use
tools. Leak test all joints prior to using the barbecue. A leak test must be performed annually, and each time a
cylinder is hooked up, or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
• Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.
• Check that the grill’s burner knobs are in the off position.
• Open cabinet doors.
• Place the cylinder into the tank holder in bottom of shelf.
• Position the cylinder so that the valve faces toward the front of the unit.
• Attach regulator hose.
WARNING!
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this barbecue. Replacement
pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be specified by the manufacturer. Do not store a spare
propane cylinder on the shelf beneath the barbecue. The regulator must be attached so that no part of the
hose touches the underside of the grill or drippan. A fire will result if these directions are ignored.
The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches. water column to the gas grill and has 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.
