PROPANE GAS FUEL

Never use Natural Gas in a Grill that has been conﬁgured to burn Propane Gas, (and never use Propane Gas in a Grill

that has been conﬁgured to use Natural Gas) to avoid possible bodily injury. Always consult the Rating Label on the

back of the Grill to conﬁrm that it has been conﬁgured to burn Propane Gas.
Always install the pressure regulator and Type 1 propane gas supply coupling and hose that has been provided with

your Propane Grill, as pictured in Figure 2.

•

Always install a standard 20 lb. propane cylinder that has been equipped with a Type I valve outlet as shown in

Figure 3, and that is 12” in diameter and 18” in height. Always use a propane cylinder that has been constructed

and marked in conformance

with either the speciﬁca-

tions for LP Gas Cylinders

of the U.S. Department

of Transportation or the

speciﬁcations in the Na-

tional Standard of Canada,

CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinder,

Spheres and Tube for Trans-

portation of Dangerous

Goods, as applicable.

•

Always conﬁrm that

your propane cylinder is

equipped with a shutoﬀ

valve terminating in a Type

I propane cylinder valve

outlet connection, and that it has been provided with a collar to

protect the cylinder valve.

•

Never install a propane cylinder in this Grill unless it is

equipped with a listed Overﬁll Protection Device (OPD).

•

Always have a new propane cylinder properly purged of air by

your certiﬁed propane gas dealer. Since a new cylinder is initially

ﬁlled with air, the air must ﬁrst be purged before it is ﬁlled with

propane.

•

Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking

or rodent damage before each use of this Grill and, if neces-

sary, install a replacement hose and regulator obtained from the

manufacturer prior to lighting this Grill.

• Always

place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever

the cylinder is not in use and always install the dust cap that was

provided with the cylinder valve. The use of an incorrect dust

cap could result in leakage of propane.
