L.P. GAS CYLINDER
Gas cylinders manufactured today have mechanisms to provide worry
free barbequing year round:
Q.C.C.1 or Type 1-Quick Connect Coupling Valve, ensure fast tank hook-
ups requiring only hand tightening. The redundant valve system inhibits
the flow of gas to the burner if the connection is not 100% correct.
O.P.D. or Overfill Protection Device prevents accidental gas leaks
caused by cylinder “over pressurization”, the leading cause of cylinder
gas leaks. The float in the tank will automatically stop filling at 80%
capacity, leaving a 20% area for the expansion of liquid. Without this safety
feature, the relief valve may open and discharge propane, creating a
potential safety hazard. An O.P.D. cylinder is easily distinguished by its
triangular hand wheel valve. Figure 3)
Look for the Gas Guardian symbol
to easily identify propane cylinders
with these safety features.
1. SPECIFICATIONS
Self-contained propane gas
barbeque systems are designed to
be used only with a 9.1 kg (20 lb)
propane cylinder, equipped with a
Type 1 cylinder valve and
incorporating an overfill protection
device (O.P.D). This barbeque
cannot be connected to an existing
#510 P.O.L. type valve (ones with left-
hand threads). The cylinder for your
gas barbeque must be constructed
and marked in accordance with the
specifications of L.P. gas cylinders:
In Canada: The National Standards of Canada CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods;
and Commission.
In the U.S.: U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)
DO NOT CONNECT TO A PROPANE GAS CYLINDER EXCEEDING THIS
CAPACITY, OR USE A CYLINDER WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF VALVE
CONNECTION DEVICE. The Type 1 valve is recognizable by the large

SAFETY:
• Always turn off the cylinder valve tightly when your barbeque is not in use.
• Handle tank valves with care.
• Never connect an unregulated L.P. gas cylinder to your barbeque.
• Never store a spare cylinder under or near your barbeque when in use.
• Never subject any cylinder to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
• Always keep your in-use cylinder securely fastened in an upright position.
• Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You may damage
the back-check. A damaged back-check can be the source of a leak. Leaking
propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
external thread on the outlet part of the valve. Standard existing valves do
not have these exterior threads. Any attempt to connect a regulator, with other
than the:
i) Mating Type 1 connector (recognized by the large black coupling nut) or
ii) Standard #510 P.O.L. fitting,
by use of adapters or any other means, could result in damage, fire or injury
and may negate the important safety features designed into the Type 1
system. The connection of a #510 P.O.L. fitting will not provide the flow control
or temperature shut-off features built into the complete Type 1 system.
We strongly recommend use of a propane cylinder with Q.C.C.I and O.P.D.
safety features.
THE CYLINDER MUST ALSO BE EQUIPPED WITH:
a. A shut-off valve terminating in a proper cylinder valve outlet specified in
current standards:
• Canada: CAN/CGA - 1.6a - M98 - Outdoor Gas Grills - Amend.
• U.S.: ANSI Z 21.58a-1998 OUTDOOR COOKING APPLIANCES.
b. A listed overfilling protection device (O.P.D.).
c. A safety relief valve having direct communication with the vapor space of
the cylinder.
d. A collar to protect the tank shut off valve.
e. An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
f. A bottom ring for securing to tank support assembly.
THE CYLINDER SHOULD NOT EXCEED 472 MM (18 1/2") IN HEIGHT AND 317
MM (12 1/2") IN DIAMETER.
ELECTRICAL CAUTION
• If any accessory installed on this barbeque requires an external
electrical power source, it must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local laws or in the absence of local laws, with
the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or in the U.S., with the
National Electrical Code ANSI-NFPA 70.
• The three-prong plug provides protection against shock hazard
and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.
• To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock,
connect to properly earthed outlets only.
• Ensure all electrical supply cords and fuel supply hoses are
kept well away from any heated surfaces.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE:
PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, AND WILL COLLECT IN LOW
AREAS, INCREASING THE ABOVE RISKS. THEREFORE:
• ALWAYS use the cylinder cap provided with your cylinder whenever
the cylinder is not connected to your barbeque. (Figure 4)
• DO NOT store in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Store
in a well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT store near any gas burning apparatus or in any high-heat
areas such as a closed car or trunk.
• Transport and store the cylinder in an upright position – do not tip on its
side.
• Store out of reach of children.
• DO NOT smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.
WARNING
• 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 with risk of property damage,
serious injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get
away from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire
department.
ALTHOUGH IT IS SAFE WHEN USED
PROPERLY, CARELESS HANDLING OF THE
PROPANE GAS CYLINDER COULD RESULT IN
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.
FILLING:
FOR SAFETY REASONS, IF AN
OPTIONAL L.P. GAS CYLINDER
WAS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR
BARBEQUE, IT HAS BEEN SHIPPED
EMPTY. THE CYLINDER MUST BE
PURGED OF AIR AND FILLED
PRIOR TO USING ON YOUR
BARBEQUE. WHEN GETTING YOUR
CYLINDER FILLED:
• Allow only a qualified L.P. gas dealer to fill or repair your cylinder.
• DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80% full.
• Make sure the L.P. gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after
filling.
LP CYLINDER EXCHANGE
Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your
empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those
reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and
certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped cylinder as described in the "LP Cylinder" section of
this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position
during use, transit or storage.

NOTE: IMPROPER LIGHTING PROCEDURES CAN CAUSE THE FLOW
CONTROL TO ACTIVATE, RESULTING IN REDUCED HEAT OUTPUT.
IF THIS IS SUSPECTED, RESET THE FLOW CONTROL BY SHUTTING
OFF ALL BURNER CONTROLS AND THE CYLINDER VALVE. WAIT
30 SECONDS, THEN TURN THE CYLINDER VALVE ON EXTREMELY
SLOWLY - WAIT 5 SECONDS AND TURN THE BURNER VALVE ON
AND LIGHT AS NORMAL.
• Never connect a propane gas barbeque to an unregulated propane
gas supply or any other gas. Do not attempt to alter the hose
or regulator in any way.
• The connection fitting must be protected when disconnected
from the propane tank. If the fitting is allowed to drag on the
ground, nicks and scratches could occur resulting in a leak when
connected to the propane tank.
PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS MODELS:
• Do not allow any grease (or other hot material) to fall onto the
hose, or allow the hose to come in contact with any hot surfaces
of the barbeque.
• Visually inspect the entire length of the hose assembly before
each use of the barbeque. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion/wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to
using your barbeque. Only the hose assembly as specified in
the Parts List should be used.
• Follow the ‘LEAK TEST’ instructions before lighting your
barbeque for the first time, every time a propane cylinder is
refilled, if any gas component is changed, if the regulator flow-
limiting device has been activated, after prolonged periods of
storage or non-use or at least once per season.
NATURAL GAS MODELS:
• Never use with propane, or any other gases.
• The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure
testing of the system at test pressure in excess of 3.5 kPa
(1/2 p.s.i.).
• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
pressures equal to or less than 3.5 kPa (1/2 p.s.i.).
• The gas supply hose must be a minimum of 3.1 m (10 ft) and a
maximum of 3.6 m (12 ft). Always disconnect hose at quick
connect coupling when storing your barbeque.
• Inspect and clean quick connect coupling, and keep it protected
when it’s not in use.
HOSE & REGULATOR
PROPANE GAS MODELS:
Your barbeque is designed to operate on L.P. (propane) gas at a
pressure regulated at 2.74 kPa (11" water column). A regulator
preset to this pressure is supplied with the barbeque and MUST
be used.
This regulator is equipped with the Q.C.C. Type 1, quick connect
coupling system, which incorporates the following safety
features: (Figure 5)
• It will not allow gas to flow until a positive seal has been made
(Figure 6)
• It has a thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas between
115 and 150°C (240 and 300°F)
• It also has a flow-limiting device which, when activated, will
restrict the flow of gas to 0.28 cubic metres per hour (10 cubic feet
per hour)
Prior to attaching the propane cylinder to the hose and regulator, be
sure the cylinder valve and the appliance valves are OFF. The
cylinder valve is turned off by rotating the handwheel (see Figure
3) clockwise (left to right) until it stops and all appliance valves
should be in the twelve o'clock position. When attaching the
regulator to the cylinder, make sure that the small probe in the
nipple is centered in the mating Q.C.C. 1 cylinder valve (see Figure 5
& 6). Turn the right hand threaded Q.C.C.1 black nut onto the valve in
a clockwise motion until there is a positive stop.
DO NOT USE A WRENCH, HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
Should the large black thermally sensitive coupling nut be exposed to
temperatures above 115 - 150°C, it will soften and allow the
regulator probe to disengage from the cylinder valve – thereby
shutting off the flow of gas. Should this occur, do not attempt to
reconnect the nut. Remove the entire regulator assembly, and
replace it with a new one.
The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and
corrected before operating your barbeque again. The regulator
probe also contains a flow-sensing element, which will limit the
flow of gas to the regulator to a manageable amount (0.28 cubic
metres/hour) in the event of a hose or regulator rupture. If it is
evident that the flow control device has been activated, the cause
of the excessive flow should be determined and corrected before
using your barbeque again.

VALVE
BLOCKAGE
VENTURI
CLEANING BRUSH
It is possible that very small insects could make webs or nest in the venturi tubes, as they are
naturally attracted to the smell of gas. This will partially or completely block the flow of gas through
the venturi and is indicated by a smoky yellow flame, and/or a burner that is difficult or impossible to
light. Ultimately, it may cause the gas to burn outside the venturis, which can cause a fire resulting in
damage to your barbeque and potential personal injury. IF THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE PROPANE AT
CYLINDER. When the barbeque has cooled, follow the "How to Clean" steps above.
WARNING
To keep your barbeque working at its peak efficiency as well as contribute
to the safe operation of this unit, perform all of the operations below at
least once a year - preferably at the start of each cooking season.
PERFORM A LEAK TEST
A leak test ensures that there are no gas leaks prior to lighting your
barbeque.
WHEN A LEAK TEST MUST BE PERFORMED:
• Before lighting your barbeque for the first time
• Every time the propane cylinder is refilled
• If any gas component is changed
• At a minimum once per season
• After prolonged period of storage or non-use
• If the regulator flow-limiting device has been activated
The leak test should be performed in a well-ventilated area away
from any open flame, heat or ignition sources.
DO NOT USE A MATCH, OPEN FLAME OR SMOKE DURING LEAK
TESTING.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR TESTING:
1. A mixture of 50% liquid dish soap and 50% water.
2. A brush or cloth to apply the mixture.
AREAS TO TEST ON A PROPANE BARBEQUE:
• All propane cylinder welds (see Figure 7A)
• Propane cylinder valve – including threads into cylinder (Figure 7B)
• Regulator fitting and propane cylinder connection (Figure 7B)
• All hose connections (Figure 7C) including side burner tubing,if
equipped (Figure 7D)
• All valve connections (Figure 7C & D)
AREAS TO TEST ON NATURAL GAS BARBEQUES:
• All hose connections (Figure 7C)
• All valve connections (Figure 7C & 7D)
HOW TO DO THE TESTING:
1. With the barbeque console control knobs in the ‘OFF’ position, twist
the valve on your propane cylinder 1 turn, or the main natural gas
valve on.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
DO NOT IGNITE THE BURNERS WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK
CHECK.
2. Brush your soap and water solution on all connections and
components as outlined above.
3. Observe each place for growing bubbles, which indicate that a
leak is present.
4. Shut off the flow of gas while fixing the leak. Tighten any
leaking connection and repeat test until no leaks are detected.
5. If the leak(s) cannot be stopped DO NOT USE. Shut off the
fuel source at the valve immediately (if appropriate, remove
propane cylinder). Call a certified gas appliance service
person, or a gas dealer for proper repairs.
WARNING
!
IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT
FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.
CLEANING VENTURI TUBES
Periodic cleaning of the venturi tubes is recommended for optimum burner
performance, especially after prolonged storage or a period of non-use.
How to Clean:
• Remove the burner (refer to ‘ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE’).
• Use a venturi cleaning brush and insert the brush into the venturi tube 1 inch
at a time, then remove to prevent moving the debris upwards (Figure 8).
• As you remove the brush head inspect and discard any debris
• Continue this procedure until the entire lengths of all venturi tubes are free
of debris.
• Reinstall burner (as per assembly instructions), ensure the venturi tubes
are seated over the valve orifices (Figure 1).
• Perform a Leak Test.

CLEANING OTHER PARTS OF
YOUR APPLIANCE
General Grill Cleaning: Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of
grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of
detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of
grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a
caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
BURNER:
At least twice a year, clean your burner when cleaning the venturi tubes.
The burner can be gently scraped clean with a brass bristle brush. Ensure
that all burner ports (openings) are clear (DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER
PORTS). If you find cracks, abnormal holes, or damage caused by
corrosion during your inspection and cleaning, replace burner. (SEE
WARRANTY).
IGNITOR:
Clean the ignitor clip lightly using a wire brush to remove rust and
grease. DO NOT USE WATER OR CLEAN THE ELECTRODE WITH THE
WIRE BRUSH. Visually inspect the ceramic of the electrode for cracks. The
electrode can be wiped with a soft cloth if necessary. If a crack is found, a
replacement ignitor system will be required.
CLEANING GRIDS:
After each use, scrub the cooking grids with a stiff long-handled brass brush.
Do not use steel brushes, as they can scratch the nickel or porcelain
coating. Grids can also be washed with mild detergent. Never use
commercial oven cleaners. If rust appears on your cooking grids, remove
the rust with a scrub pad and coat the grid with some cooking oil. If
excessive wear is evident, you might want to replace or upgrade your
cooking grid.
PORCELAIN SURFACES:
Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with
baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive
scouring powder for stubborn stains.
PAINTED SURFACES:
Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES:
To maintain your grill's high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent
and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-
on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad.
Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive
pad on areas with graphics.
SIDE SHELVES:
Metal Shelves: Use any household cleaner, except those containing acid or
mineral spirits. Be sure to rinse well after cleaning.
DO NOT USE AS A CUTTING BOARD.
Plastic Shelves: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use
citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on
plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
PLASTIC PARTS:
Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive
cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts.
Damage to and failure of parts can result.
CASTING INTERIOR AND WARMING RACK:
At least once a year remove all components from inside your barbeque.
Loosen any cooking residue with a scraping tool for large particles and a
brass barbeque brush for smaller particles. Scrub with hot water and a
strong detergent, then rinse thoroughly or spray barbeque degreaser
liberally on all interior surfaces. Be sure to use gloves and eye protection.
Let stand for 10 minutes, scrape off residue and repeat if required. Rinse
thoroughly with water. Replace all components as outlined in the assembly
instructions. DO NOT USE DEGREASER ON PAINTED OR PLASTIC
SURFACES. DO NOT ALLOW EXCESSIVE GREASE OR OTHER RESIDUE
TO BUILD UP ON YOUR COOKING SYSTEM AS A FIRE MAY RESULT.
GREASE PAN & GREASE TRAY: The grease tray is located on the
bottom of the base casting, below the grease pan, and immediately below
the hole through which any grease will drain. The grease pan and tray
should be checked and cleaned prior to each use to prevent grease from
overflowing.
COVER YOUR BARBEQUE WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO PROTECT THE
SHELVES FROM THE OUTDOOR ELEMENTS.
STORAGE
More people are discovering the pleasure of year round barbequing. However,
if you choose to store your barbeque for the winter or any extended length of
time, follow these steps:
• Clean the cooking grids, then oil lightly with cooking oil, wrap in paper and
then store the cooking grids indoors.
• Follow the same cleaning method above for the burners and any warming racks.
• Cover the barbeque if it is left outdoors.
• When the barbeque is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the L.P.
cylinder valve or main shut off valve, and stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area.
1. With a Propane appliance you can store the barbeque inside, PROVIDED
the cylinder is removed from the barbeque and stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area, out of the reach of children. When the cylinder is
disconnected from the barbeque, ensure the cylinder valve safety cap is
placed over valve opening (fig.4).
2. With a Natural Gas appliance, the gas must be turned off at the individual
gas shut off valve and the hose must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system before storing the barbeque indoors. Install plastic covers to
quick connect fittings.
After a period of storage or non-use a leak test should be performed and
the burner venturis cleaned prior to use.
Ensure the
grease pan and tray
are in position and
clean before
using the BBQ.
WARNING
!
Ensure that grease pan and tray are emptied
after each use. If excess grease is allowed to
accumulate, a possible fire causing property
damage or serious injury may occur.
DANGER
NEVER STORE A SPARE LP CYLINDER
UNDER OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE OR
IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.

SHUTTING DOWN YOUR
BARBEQUE
1. Shut off L.P. cylinder valve.
2. Shut off burner control valves.
This sequence prevents residual gas from being left in the system
under pressure.
BREAKING IN YOUR
BARBEQUE
Before cooking on your gas barbeque for the first time...
Before cooking on the main burners of your gas barbeque for the
first time, you should "break it in" by operating for a short period
of time without any food. To "break in" your barbeque light the
barbeque following the lighting instructions as outlined on the
console or in this manual. (see pages 10, 11 & 12)
BREAKING IN THE MAIN BURNERS:
Close the MAIN CASTING LID ONLY and keep the temperature on
"HIGH" for 20 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THIS
PROCESS.
Then raise the lid and continue to operate your barbeque on
"HIGH" for an additional 5 minutes. Your barbeque is now ready
for cooking.
Note: "Break-in" procedure is not required for Side Burner or
Rotisserie burner. For lighting instructions for the Side Burner
follow the lighting instructions found on page 11 of this manual.
For lighting instructions for the rotisserie follow the lighting
instructions found on page 12 of this manual.
CAUTION: THE SIDE BURNER LID SHOULD ALWAYS BE
OPEN WHILE SIDE BURNER IS LIT.
CAUTION: THE WARMING RACK SHOULD ALWAYS BE
REMOVED WHEN USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY RESULT IN A DAMAGED & WARPED WARMING RACK.
COOKING TECHNIQUES
PREHEATING THE BARBEQUE
The cooking system and grids require heating prior to adding food.
1. Light your barbeque as outlined in the ‘LIGHTING’ instruction
section.
2. Once lit, preheat your barbeque on the HIGH setting with the
lid down for 6 to 10 minutes.
NOTE: OPTIONAL SIDE BURNER DOES NOT REQUIRE TO BE
PREHEATED. NEVER OPERATE SIDE BURNER WITH SIDE
BURNER LID CLOSED.
3.
Turn the burner control knobs to the appropriate heat setting
prior to adding your food. Preheating your barbeque is not required
when you are cooking food using indirect cooking techniques.
MAIN CASTING LID POSITION
Although keeping the main casting lid up or down when cooking
on your barbeque is a personal preference, you will find that you
will have fewer flare-ups, and your food will cook in less time
(therefore using less fuel) if the main casting lid is down. Keep
the main casting lid down when cooking food that requires a long
cooking period over a low flame, such as indirect cooking.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
HIGH Setting: Use the HIGH setting to preheat the barbeque, sear
meat such as steak, & to burn off any cooking residue from the
grids after cooking your meal. HIGH is rarely used for extended
cooking.
MEDIUM Setting: Most grilling or roasting of meat and
vegetables, as well as any baking, is best done at a medium heat.
LOW Setting: A low temperature is used when cooking lean meat
or delicate items such as fish. All smoke cooking is done at low
heat. For the best results, invest in a Meat Thermometer
BARBEQUE COOKING METHODS
Your barbeque is more than just a place to grill your burgers and
hotdogs - the possibilities are as endless as your imagination.
But, before you start experimenting, here are some frequently
used terms that will help:
Direct Cooking is also known as grilling. This is the most popular
cooking method and involves cooking food directly over the flame,
such as searing a steak. Other good candidates for this cooking
method are thin cuts of meat, vegetables, kabobs and fillets.
Indirect Cooking means the food is cooked away from the direct
flame by placing it on the opposite side of the lit burner & allowing
the heat to tumble within the closed confines of the closed
barbeque, very similar to a convection oven. Much like your oven,
you can roast and even bake, provided your barbeque lid is closed.
WARMING RACKS
A warming rack may be included with your barbeque and
provides you with additional cooking space away from direct
heat. This is useful when cooking delicate items such as fish,
boneless chicken breasts or vegetables. Warming racks are also
a great place to keep food warm that is already done so you can
serve your entire meal at the same time.
Tip: A light application of cooking oil prior to use will help to
keep food from sticking to the warming rack.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS
Some flare-up during grilling is desirable to create the smoke,
which gives barbequed food its unique flavor and appearance.
However, excessive flare-up can not only ruin your food, it may
lead to a dangerous condition as well. By excessively raising the
temperature within your barbeque, particularly if a build up of
grease in your barbeque ignites, these flare-ups may result in an
uncontrolled grease fire.
TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
• Trim excess fat from meats before cooking
• Cook fatty meats on a low setting, or by using the indirect
method as described above
• Ensure that your cooking system is free of excess grease from
previous usage
• Check that the grease drain hole is not blocked
• Cook with lid down to cut down on the flow of air
• Reduce the heat settings
