Sure Heat Sonoma SGR30 - Manual (Page 7)

L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Sonoma Gas Grills are set to operate with L.P. gas and come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note:
Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure regulator
and hose assemblies specified by Sonoma). This assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P.
cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent
dealer.
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylin-
der after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire
or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for
connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1.
Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill
protection device, OPD, on it.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to insure proper
gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas
is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak,
causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will
insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion
or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or
any other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.
• Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill.
