Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder
1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill.
2. Turn all control knobs to the “OFF” position.
3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap and strap
supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand tighten the
coupling nut. Hold the regulator in a straight line with LP cylinder valve so as
not to cross-thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The regulator
will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder valve, resulting in some
resistance.
NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat
steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not
use this regulator!
Regulator Flow Limiting Device
If you are experiencing any of the following performance issues you may have activated the flow
limiting feature in your regulator:
• Burners not getting hot enough
• Low or incomplete burner ames
• Low gas pressure
• Burners not staying lit
Resetting the Regulator Flow Limiting feature
1. With all control knobs and the gas source in the “OFF” position, Open the BBQ lid
2. Disconnect the hose and regulator from the Propane tank
3. Turn all BBQ control knobs to the “MAX” position
4. Let stand for 1-3 minutes, allowing all excess gas in valves and manifold to dissipate
5. Turn all BBQ control knobs back to the “OFF” position
6. With the BBQ lid still OPEN, reconnect the hose and regulator to the propane tank- Do not cross thread the connection.
Hand-tighten only.
7. Check all hose connections to ensure that a positive seal has been made.
8. Slowly turn “ON” the propane gas supply, ¼ to ½ a turn.
9. Wait approximately 5 seconds for the hose and regulator pressure to stabilize (to prevent the ow limiting device feature
from being re-activated).
10. Turn the selected burner control knob, to the “MAX” position
11. Press the Electronic ignition button, or use the match and match holder, or a BBQ lighter to ignite the selected burner.
Avoid activating the Flow Limiting Feature by following the proper start up and shut down procedures and performing
a complete leak test and safety check to ensure that there are no leaks in the system, and that a positive connection has
been made between the gas source and manifold assembly.

Propane Models:
Your Barbecue is designed to operate on L.P gas at a pressure of 2.74Kpa (11” water column). A regulator preset to this
pressure is supplied with your Barbecue.
Hose and Regulator comes equipped with the following:
QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling
All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder equipped with
the new QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling system.
The QCC-1 system incorporates new safety features required by the
Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
• Gas will not ow until a positive connection has been made
• A thermal element will shut off the ow of gas between 240 degrees and
300 degrees F.
• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the ow of gas to
10 cubic feet per hour.
Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the
valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
