REGULATOR SAFETY FEATURE
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas
cylinder to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature
included that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak.
You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without
having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn
on the gas using the appliance control knob before you
turn on the gas cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety
feature activates, the appliance will operate with reduced
output as gas flow is restricted.
These steps should be taken first to reset the gas
regulator safety device:
1. Turn gas cylinder valve off.
2. Turn appliance off.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
4. Wait 30 seconds.
5. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.
6. Leak test the connection using a soapy water
solution. Ensure no bubbles appear before
proceeding.
7. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve all the way. Do
not put excessive force on the valve at the full open
position, to avoid damaging the valve.
8. Light the appliance as per the instructions provided.
Any modification to the appliance not described in the
installation instructions may compromise the safety of
this appliance. Special concern is as follows:
(1) DO NOT bypass thermocouple safety burner;
(2) DO NOT operate appliance without the grate in
place;
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung
from the appliance, or placed on or near the appliance.
The area above the burner may be extremely hot. Direct
contact with these metal surfaces should be avoided in
order to prevent burns or clothing ignition.
QCC CYLINDER CONNECTION DEVICE
Screw the coupling nut of regulator into the cylinder valve
outlet.
