GAS HOOK-UP’S AND WARNINGS
(LP) LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten
cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.
LP cylinder requirements:
• Use LP cylinder only with these required measurements:
• 12”(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18” (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg) capacity maximum.
• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN /CSA-B339, Cylinders spheres and tubes for transportation of
dangerous goods. See LP cylinder collar for marking.
LP cylinder valve must have:
• Shut-off valve with a correct cylinder valve output as specified in
current standards. CAN / CGA 1.6g-M97 Outdoor Gas Grills. USA: ANSI
Z21.58a-2006/CSA 1.6g-2006 Outdoor Cooking Appliances.
• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill. The type 1 valve is easily
recognized by the large external thread on the outside of the valve.
• Safety relief valve with direct connection to the vapour space of the cylinder.
• UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identi-
fied by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with
this type of valve.
• A device for vapor withdrawal.
• A collar to protect the LP tank shut off valve.
• A ring on the bottom of the LP tank to secure it to the support assembly.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only use dust cap provided with LP cylinder.
WARNING
Any attempt to connect a regulator to any connectors other than the mating TYPE -1 connector could
result in fires, explosions, injuries, or property damage. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type
of valve.
DO NOT connect to a propane cylinder exceeding 9.1 kg capacity or use a cylinder with any other type
of cylinder valve connection device.
Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for tightness.
DANGER
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder, empty or full, under or near
the appliance.
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible
gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire or
explosion with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
• Do not store objects or materials inside the barbecue cart enclosure that
would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the
control panel or the burner box.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP
cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.
